Really? A pain? How much effort do you really put into this? I'm happy to commish the league and could do it in my sleep. Never in my life considered this hobby a laborious chore before. Are drop/adds really that difficult? Do you treat trades like they're the Camp David Peace Accords?Setting up waivers and stuff is a pain in the ###Fantasy football shouldn't be tedious. It's supposed to be fun. I'll do whatever the league wants, but just how much time do you folks spend managing leagues? I've never thought of this hobby as a chore before.Tiger Fan said:

NBA nerds calling the Golden State Warriors "The Dubs" has set me on full tilt this weekend. Might be the dumbest thing I've read/heard since people started calling Jennifer Lopez/Ben Affleck "Bennifer".

Go catch a glimpse of Robert Plant and report back. He played tonight at the Blues Fest (headline). I know the world likes to bash Keith Richards for being a walking corpse, but jesus lord god, Robert Plant looks like a tanned raisen (non-treat) with long hair and the facial hair of a Shakespearean witch. Dude looks bad bad. Realy bad.
And yet listening to him tonight, he can still belt it out like a champ.

I just spent the weekend at the family cabin at Lake Chelan with my cousin and her two kids, 17 and 19, along with a half dozen of their friends. I have heard so many stupid things in the last three or four days that doesn't even register.Truf, Pron.Because that's always been such a hurdle for you?I couldn't remember how to spell the whole thing correctly.

Some people actually say "hashtag" in real life. Often. And "ermahgerd."

Charlie is the name of my sister, but it's short for Charlotte. She's not butchy or gay or any good at softball (well, not as good as Frosty) but she's about a bass player short of a full band.
What is Abe's current kid's name?
Best friend from college and his family came over for dinner. They have 3 kids. Their oldest daughter is named "Mathile", which is French for "Matilda". Always liked it. Great kid, too. Going to be an all-star in Lacrosse at the college level. They have a 2 year old daughter named "Stella", which I also like, but is pretty common these days.

was sure I was about to read some ugly commentary about how bad that name is for a girl. Course, I'm still playing catch up, so somebody might have dumped on it.
Word of caution: Be careful about what you say with regards to first names. Some of us have feelings. Even those of us named Forrest Vannerson Malaise.

Well, now I'm depressed. I know that if I were born a girl, my name would be "Heidi". And if Hazel were a boy, her name would be "Beck" (eat me, I like it.). But I honestly have no clue what my boys would be named if they were girls and now I'll be up all night trying to remember and will have to email their mom tomorrow to ask. Sure hope her brain works better than mine.

OK, F##K this new board!!!! My god, it's just a pile of #### in every way.
Anyway, the post I tried to make...
Not to be a braggart or anything but for ####'s sake I walked with $500 in cash tonight. On a friggin SUNDAY!!!! While getting completely smashed and having a blast with a bunch of nubile wimmins!
Such a great night.
Then went to the bar next door and made out with a hot Ashley. And then hung out with the bartenders doing shots and pounding delicious Miller Lites until 4:30.
Sometimes I get really sad...but tonight was not one of those times.

Do they sell them that hold 8# of ice?If only they sold bags at the grocery store that had some kind of zipper on them, which would allow you close the bag once filled.I paid $.17 per ice bag. I can fill them up with my ice maker and store them in my extra freezer. Ill always have a few ice bags on hand. Really don't see a downside to this purchase.Eta - ice maker is small hence the need for the bagsYou paid 17 bucks for bags?Random purchase that seems like a few folks here might benefit from. This occurred to me as I had to make an extra stop to go pick up a bag of ice the other day.
My freezer produces ice...but it's usually not enough ice to fill an ice chest, and if you empty that ice, you don't have other ice to put in your drinks. Bags of ice are typically $2-3 at the store, plus you have to go there...sometimes it's your only purchase.
Boom - $17 for 100 ice bags shipped. Now I'll always have multiple bags of ice on hand
it's the little things
"Boom"? Really?

Seriously though, how many of those bags do you really need? Why not just reuse the one that came for free with your $3 ice purchase?

Know someone that named their kid Cash. Wouldn't do it myself, but get it.

I feel like discussing names this early is bad luck. I'm staying mum.
I'm thinking I'm going to build my own crib this time though. We got a hand-me-down crib last time from some friends...it was a cheap target pile of crap. It won't be that hard to far exceed that.

Don't name you're kid Cash. Seriously. You'll just woefully mismanage him.

Lay off TF, folks. He's got a stash of bags ready for the impending Icemageddon and all it took him to save the $1.08 for a pre-filled bag was ordering a pallet of empties, buying a stand-alone freezer and running his ice maker into the ground filling up those 12" X 20" 1.8mil beauties. You may scoff, but no matter what happens he's got that covered... unless the power goes out. But who needs ice then, anyway?

Shark move would have been buying 1,000 of them for about $0.10 each, keeping 100, selling the other 900 at $0.17 each and ending up with 100 bags, AND $50.00

I was going to be "Stephen" if I were a boy. Anyone else know their alternate name?

Cool - doing it from scratch or are there plans you'll be following? Should be able to get away with slats on 16" centers if new baby is anything like the first

I've looked at a few plans online, there are a few things you have to do make it "legal"...2 3/8" between slats, fit it to the mattress size (28x52 i think)...
I need to decide what wood to use and how to join things (dowels for slats, screws for frame probably) and maybe a little about the general look of it, but it seems pretty easy/doable.

Yeah, in general cribs seem pretty easy, especially if you don't go with a "sleigh bed" style that incorporates curves. Heck, even that is easy if you just buy the wood precut. Just have to figure out the balance between time/effort and payout, but all-in-all seems like a pretty straight forward project. Good luck GB

The one thing I'll have to think about is stain. Is there a stain that I can buy that a kid can chew on?

Digesting stain builds character. In all seriousness, once the stain is cured on the wood, it should be fine. Some people opt for water-based finishes like polyurethane because they don't take as long to set. I think oil based stains take a couple weeks to fully cure, but you've got plenty of time either way.The one thing I'll have to think about is stain.

FYI - I am a John that has never been called anything but Jack. Do him a favor and just name him Jack. It's a huge PITA through your entire life to ( teachers, etc)explaining that your name is really Jack.
