What did you get for your new Htown bros?
A bag of ______.
I just get gift cards and order everything else on Amazon.
Oh Ive used Amazon extensivly this year like the past few years but there is always "stuff" you want to get. Damn Kohls has all their toys 50-75% off already!
There is still a chance he signs. I honestly can't think of many teams willing to pay his price without hesitation. Well...maybe the Jets, but still.
He would be a great for for PeyPey. And the Jets are the obvious choice though they can't afford it.
Any team looking for a possession receiver is most certainly going to offer more than the Pats.
Face facts, your team does not like him. He is not long for your team.

No way pat keeps his job, even if he some way wins out
When have I been in denial? I wanted him gone prior to this season.

Which is why it's amazing to me that it's a given that Saban would go to the Browns of all teams. I get that there's a connection but several of these future openings are vastly better than the Browns.
This is why I want Austin. He would be perfect for this offense, and we don't have to pay him like Welker will get paid.
He has lost a step and Bill hates him more than he does black people. His mom must have rejected Bill or something.

Any of you doing new years resolutions/goals?
before we all die tomorrow
i just want to say i love you bucket even if the rumors of you being a ginger is true
I am. I set five goals last year, and I actually got two out of five which wasn't so bad.

Not as bad as expected. He certainly doesn't deserve the money he is getting, but honestly I wouldn't be opposed to keeping him for a lot less money if the 2014 QB draft class is as unpromising as this one.
I'd say we need at least one more linebacker too. Big fan of Jenkins though. Has the raw skills to be a ballhawk

Homer: Look, look I got my invitations back from the printers.
Lisa: "Come to Homer's B.B.B.Q. The extra B is for B.Y.O.B.B." What's that extra B for?
Homer: That's a typo.
To actually go through with my goal of going to school instead of being a dumb fuck poor.

It's totally worth it to take out loans for nursing, engineering, or accounting.
Go do it!
School is good, do it!
Unless its a for-profit university. Then the odds are not so good.

Stafford loan.
Both of these are the correct answer. You can't go wrong with STEM. If you want to save money go to JuCo first, then to a four year school. It usually works out better if the schools you pick work together, makes it easier to 'align' classes for a particular degree.
Yes.
Also jak once you are done with your degree, you have a 6 month grace period, where you don't have a payment. After that you can have it based on your income if you can't make the full payment. It's pretty flexible now.

If you go for nursing we can work at the same hospital together in Ohio when I'm done with school <3
Im going for welding
Also i'll def have to look into the stafford loan thingy. The program will cost about 6500 then i'd have to pay to get certified.
I like Jenkins too. If he didn't have all the personal issues he would have been a top 15 pick, so that's really the wildcard for him. Hopefully he settles down. The suspension was worrying
I don't really think Lauranitis is a true 4-3 MLB. I think he'd be better as a Will. He's the only player in the NFL to take every defensive snap this year, and he's fine in coverage and as a blitzer. Not great, but a solid guy for that role. Run and hit player
What they need is a bigger MLB that can help with the run. Take him off the field on 3rd down, but someone that can shed blocks and stuff runs. Luckily that's not a premium player and can be found later in the draft. I don't know of any stud safeties, but that's really the only position that they should absolutely address early on the defensive side

A few of my friends have gone the same route. Seems to be good money involved, although some have gone crazy with their co-workers. But that certainly can just be the particular shops they worked in. Good luck!

Have you looked into a pipefitter's union? I know unions get a bad rap, but I have a relative that is a pipefitter (orbital welder), and the union provided all his training. He makes a pretty good living.

I think I would rather be an electrician...my brother has made really good money installing ridiculously expensive hospital equipment in various parts of the US/Canada.
The whole hurting your vision thing would turn me off from welding! But despite all that, if you want to weld, I won't discourage it!
My dad was a pipefitter (I'm the lazy accountant in a family of tradesmen) and he made a fantastic living doing some sort of specialized arc welding before moving on and up into foreman and eventually as a plant maintenance manager for Miller Brewing.
The boilermaker's union did the same for a good friend. They're good options.

I agree. The only downside to it from what I have seen is that jobs move around. For example, he worked in Virginia for a couple years, once that project was done, he moved to Oregon, then to Colorado, etc. I'm not sure how true that is for different unions, or even different jobs in the same union. YMMV.
I feel old at 24 though
I havent really looked into any unions, I have looked into a place called Lincoln Electric because my exs mom was a teller and she had customers that'd bring in 5 digit bonus checks and I always hear how they make fat loot there.

You are in the prime of your life!
Same problem for my friend. His union kept the jobs regional, so he stayed in Michigan and upper Indiana most of the time, but he was in places for a few weeks or months at time. But yeah this isn't all unions, or all positions.

I can't wait till I'm 2nd in charge of Packers Age
Pretty sure you can do all those in Texas. Sounds like it's settled then! Buckethead is moving to Htown and Packers Age grows ever stronger in the energy capital of the world.
Do you already have a good list of books picked out? I want to try and read one book a month but so far i only have Enders Game and Physics of the Future by Michio Kaku. Need more ideas!
So far my list is pretty small
1) read a book a month
2) get joocy
3) perform a 360 dunk and send the video clip to greg. Capture greg crying on my iphone and post it to NFL-GAF
4) Get into a Petroleum Engineering program in any of the Texas schools that offer it(preferably UT Austin)

So I've owned it since release and beat the coop with a buddy but I haven't gotten around to playing Portal 2 single player until now. Just reached Chapter 7. Boy I should have moved this up the backlog a long time ago.
He's one of the best talents in the draft, I don't know how he isn't a top 15 pick. In what world can a guy do what he does and not go high? Don't want to live in it that world!
Stop and starts on a dime, eludes defenders while maintaining speed, it's just insane how he turns the corner and accelerates by everyone. Fuck size, just give him the damn ball.

Watched a part of that Bo Jackson documentary. That man hated the FUCK out of the Tampa Bay Bucs.
I know they get a lot of mileage on GAF, but Snow Crash and Hyperion.
The Alchemist is a personal favorite of mine as well.
Everything I've read has him dropping because of his size. I don't really care about that though, like you said just give him the ball and let him work. The more I think about it though, I could see Denver working Holliday into a similar position. But he is significantly smaller, and not nearly as talented at Austin imo.
