I’ll start.

Never let the turd in the punch bowl ruin a good party. Drink martinis instead.

I thought that was a doodie in the swimming pool?

Go Blue :blue_heart::yellow_heart:. … . Though I don’t follow college football and could not explain the season, my little brother is an alumni along with many friends of mine. I’m sure he’s lost his voice watching that game and happy that he’ is likely still on cloud nine from that OT win. :smile::grin:

YES!!! Thank you :smile::smile::grin::smile::smile::smile::smile:. I don’t follow sports closely but there’s always like one game every now and then that ropes me in and this was it. :sunglasses::blue_heart::yellow_heart::blue_heart::yellow_heart:

my friend was texting with me in the first quarter to help keep me calm. :sweat_smile:. Admittedly I was stressed at various times in the game :exploding_head::exploding_head::exploding_head::sweat_smile:. Nevertheless- yay!!! :smile::sunglasses:

Woo-hoo!!! :blue_heart::blue_heart::blue_heart::blue_heart::yellow_heart::yellow_heart::yellow_heart::yellow_heart::blue_heart::blue_heart::blue_heart::blue_heart: :grin:

Service provider said that my phone’s display will be available in 2 weeks. Until then I’m using an old router for internet but no calls. Feels like the 90s. :sweat_smile: Still thinking if the display would be affordable. If not, I’ll look around for a second hand phone, or a cheap keypad phone. It’s funny how the smart phone has become a part of life for almost everyone.

@LastManStanding Happy new year! I was just wondering the other day where you’ve been.

I’m always rooting for the Big 10 (though Washington will be part of that conference next year).

Conferences are like corporations–soon there will be only a few very large entities.

Yes!! Me too!!! Big ten (however many schools it is now) :sweat_smile:. I was talking to my football loving friend earlier this evening and I could sense his happiness for me that I was happy for my brother and just happy it was an awesome game. I watched that 4th quarter interception a dozen or more times by now. :sweat_smile:

The four plates of nachos might have overdid it last night. Stress eating. I didn’t watch the third quarter. This is why I can’t be a sports fan. I get too emotionally attached to desired outcomes. :grimacing::grimacing::grimacing::sweat_smile:

Hey how are you? Happy New Year to you too! :pray: :sunflower: :pray: It’s nice to be back here. I was caught up with some work at a friend’s office, as I was trying to get a few tips about tourism business :smiley:

I watch way too much football. Lots of Big 10 for college and, unfortunately a lifelong Eagles fan. Fortunately I’m one of those people who can’t eat when I’m stressed. But that Monday game was great and I thought Michigan had it the whole time.

I was hoping you were too busy with your tourism business. I’m glad that’s the case and hope it goes well.

Like the “plant-based” butter they’re hawking these days.

You mean margarine? Yeah, that stuff. :roll_eyes:
