    Pretty great feeling when your employer doesn't recognize your years of service to them when they recognize everyone else's. SMH

    My grandfather worked at Union Pacific for almost his entire career. When he was in his 20's, he was even fired and rehired by them.

    When he retired in his late 50's as the revenue director, all they did was give him a (cheap) UP watch and told him to clear out his office by Monday morning.

    Management can be a bag of a**holes.

    UP...treating you like a$$ while you work there...treating you like a king when you are gone.

    Niles Paul just got lit up at the goal line playing the FB position for Washington. He's up and walking, but man is he wobbly. Hopefully he's alright......

    The way he just bounced off that defender leads me to believe he's not the guy you want lead blocking in a goal line situation.

    Yeah, I don't know what Washington was thinking putting a dude like that in at fullback?! lol

    Well, I'd say this game has gone exactly like we all thought it would. SMH

    Yeah, this is pretty much what I expected. Unfortunately that doesn’t make it any easier to stomach. We are a poorly coached BAD football team.

    My boys first Husker game was a success, my one son was given a glove by Deontre Thomas in the tunnel before the tunnel walk. It was hot, but a great day. Loved playing catch with my boys on the practice field. This bodes well for the Huskers when they start recruiting my boys in high school! ;)

    That's great. Happy you and your boys enjoyed it. Pretty cool with the glove, he'll remember that forever.

    Just set up the Amazon Echo I bought on prime days. Now the government can just listen to what goes on inside my household. It's cool I for one am going to embrace our new computer overlords! lol

    I have my TV on when I'm cooking, but it would be nice to control lights and do searches by voice.

    Let's say I want to look up a recipe or technique. Can I connect Alexa to my TV and have the recipe show, or have it go to YouTube & play a video?

    I don't know if it'll do that. I still need to play with it to figure out the basics.

    Got several lights hooked up, some color some regular. Have alexa make them brighter as I wake up and turn them on and off with my schedule. the color ones are pretty stunning, use them behind the tv and to accent parts of the house. Makes the home look like a magazine shoot.

    4 feet down completed, had to rent an auger to get all the way down there, but operation basketball hoop is on track for the boys's birthday!

    Digging a hole for the Goalsetter basketball hoop I bought for the boys really sucks in clay soil. Halfway there, 2 more feet to dig! Blah...

    Pretty sure I started using a garden spade to chip away at the clay the last 6 to 10 inches. An augur would be a much better choice.

    Try using the hard spray option on your garden hose. Its how they mine for gold

    I've got some things I'm going to try before I go get an auger, but I don't know how far away I am from going to rent one. Thanks for the suggestions everyone.

    Going on another cruise, taking the kids this time and we're going to drive. The questions is......do I avoid Atlanta all together and go through Nashville and Birmingham to get to Miami or drive right through Atlanta and say, "Hold my beer and watch this!?"

    I second Moiraine's St. Louis suggestion. The City Museum is pretty great.

    I found this website called roadtrippers.com and they have an app as well to set my road trip up. It's actually pretty cool because you can filter out what things you want to see along the way, if you want to make a special stop you can add it to your trip, etc. Pretty easy to change the route too, just click on the route and drag it to another highway/interstate if you want to avoid something.

    We used roadtrippers when we drove to St Pete's beach from Omaha 2 years ago. We also drove through Atlanta and my only suggestion is if you do it find the lane you need/want and stay in it. Of course we drove through on a Monday evening so it wasn't that bad.

    May be looking at a move out of the State of Iowa in the near future if the legislature makes the changes they have proposed for public workers. It's a shame, Iowa was and always will be home, but I'll move on if need be.

    We'll she gets a raise on her date of hire every year, cost of living raise and I can't remember what the 3rd raise was. I get two raises a year (cost of living and my date of hire anniversary raise). No sure why you're getting so bent out of shape over this?

    Not to mention she only makes $19 an hour to deal with incompetent parents who abuse their kids or foster parents who don't know how to take care of kids. Her medical is going up dramatically and then to potentially lose her retirement is messed up. So before it was an ok paying job with great benefits to go to ok job with sh#tty benefits. And people want minimum wage to go up to $15...ridiculous

    I'm not bent out of shape at all. Like I said, I'm sorry the sweet deal of 3 raises may be going away for you. But here in the private sector, owning a business, we're lucky if we can give out a raise every year or two and I've gone 2 or 3 years before without increasing my pay. Just trying to interject another POV.

    Congrats to Vincent Valentine on getting a Super Bowl Ring in his rookie season. Amazing Super Bowl......
