OFF-TOPIC Thread

I'm thinking that necklace, glowing while she had it on with some kind of lifeforce obviously, is used to reanimate Jon Snow. She may even have to give up her life, but she also have may had enough, if you get my drift. Like being an LAD fan.
I wondered if that was an old woman, or the younger actress in body makeup...her boobs kinda looked like how they would age as elderly. This attention to detail, boob droop,etc., is very important...lol.

 

No Popeye discussion would be complete without mention of Eugene the Jeep, the mysterious animal which gave it's name to the indispensible WWII vehicle (Willys?).
And now the creator of Popeye's grandson plays ss for the Dodgers.
Nah...lie.

 

Well played.

Eugene may have been the demon seed of the Sea Hag and Wimpy.

 

A non human offspring...sort of like Paris Hilton?

 

I was wondering if the white guys that make such a concerted effort on here to write "black", are pissed off because they are white, or they just want to "sound" (read) like they are black?

 

dat language doe

 

Im fairly new to this so your method seems a bit more refined.

I follow the same thing with the pitcher. Getting at least 40-50 points from the pitcher spot alone is huge and necessary if you want to be competitive so i'll pay whatever. However if the difference between two players is marginal but the cost is significantly different I may opt to get the cheaper one and use the money elsewhere. Like today Salazar is $2,200 cheaper so I'd consider getting him instead of Thor

I then fill my roster with players who I want, neglecting the cap and worrying about that later. I definitely look at who's starting across the league and go from there. Playing in Colorado , Arizona, Texas etc or parks that heavily favor batters is also an extra incentive.

After grabbing the pitcher I usually have about 24k to fill in the remaining 8 spots. Catcher is a position where output tends to be low so I dont really look to pay over the $3000 average there. In fact this is where I save money more often than not

I'll pay above average for most other positions with a premium placed on power hitters. im still tinkering to see if it's worth spending big bucks $4500+ on one position. This def compromises other positions but if you hit on that player you can reap the rewards. I.e. Goldy putting up 50+ yesterday. But then finding moderately priced players who can score is tough...Not sure yet.. any suggestions or trends youve noticed in regards to spending a lot on one player?

I've never intentionally stacked my team before but a few times I went to submit only for the app to tell me i had more than 4 players from one team on my roster. Seems like a good strategy I may need to actively employ

Overall I feel like it's hit and miss any way you play. If you play it "safe" you'll never score enough to win so you need to hit on players who can put up numbers while also getting those that fit within the salary constraints.

 

Damn, just found out my office is closing down at the end of June, and I'm out of a job. Mouse on the job hunt.

 

Hiring caddies in Pinehurst...

 

Sorry to hear that Mouse
I am noticing a lot of real anchor businesses closing down left and right around me
The first 4 months of this year have been particularly brutal for me
I think its the combination of election year and tax season w all this madness
People sense the things they have worked all their life for slipping away and just aren't spending
Those businesses that have been barely hanging in there are slipping away more rapidly from where i stand

 

Damn, that's rough. Hope you can find something new quickly.

 

I work for a very large company that buys out little companies on a weekly basis. We wind up with redundancies and close down offices just as fast. In my case, my job is being moved to Mexico City. The process of moving more and more of my department to Mexico City has been in progress since I started 5 years ago, so it's not a huge surprise. I wouldn't care too much except I had a cushy thing going working from home for the past few years.

I've always had suspicions about why they opened an office in San Diego to begin with. The office opened about 10 years ago, and the placement in San Diego seemed random except that our major competitor in the U.S. was also in San Diego. My company pilfered all the talent they could from that company. I think they hoped to bolster our company while at the same time hurting the competition - but in the end it didn't work. The competitor is as strong as ever. So now we are moving on, and if we can't do it better we will at least do it cheaper.

 

lots of companies moving to Mexico
and Ireland
and...it would be nice to figure a way to keep them here

 

Bummer...best of luck in all your endeavors.
Everything is so gd fragile these days....
