I don't know what she says but I am pretty sure that I am glad I don't have speakers on my office computer.

DUDE!!!
When my son was in high school he tried that one on me a few times. I told him, "I am not 'Dude'. I am 'Dad'. You can call me that."

Now that he is 25 I probably wouldn't even correct him. But I do hate it. My nephew uses it from time to time and I nail him on it as well.

By the way, I do like "more gooder." (I expect Rourke hates it, though.)

How about not knowing the differences among "fact," "data," and "evidence"?

Well, at least the first one... The second one would be more accurate if it were "ALMOST everything happens for a reason".

i don't think they're true at all. some people just can't handle everything & i don't think God constantly tests some people & lets others slide. the God i know is a loving one.

maybe i should have said that i hate when people say these things when a tragedy hits.
these words are not helpful at all.
been there...trust me!

What I know is that the hell I went through in my life prepared me for what we had to do to get through Mia's ordeal. And because I had a horrible upbringing I was prepared for that hell, so that I could lead my wife through this. Julie wasn't prepared for something so dramatic, not even close.

So maybe God does give us things we can handle and things happen for a reason. But what I question is the fairness in it all. We live in reap what we sew world, or at least that is what the men of the cloth teach. I guess I'll find out for sure someday.

What I don't care for is someone who hasn't been through anything telling me God only gives you what you can handle.

Not look for another reason why they don't work. Of course, not everyone is the optimist that I am, so I can only imagine how hard it may be for them.

But I do agree with the principle behind your 2nd and 3rd sentences. I don't think any bad things come from God. But that He uses those bad things, if we let Him. I certainly don't believe that God 'gave' my daddy cancer. Or that He 'took' away your daddy. God, to me, doesn't bring death, but life. That said, the phrase "God doesn't give you more than you can handle" takes on almost a whole other meaning. My point with the phrase is: If we let it be true, then it is. If not, then it's a crapshoot.

Unless someone that you knew very, very well told you that, how could you even know what that person has been through? I understand where you are coming from, but the underlying basis of the statement is, 'I don't care how much truth you are saying because I'm being too judgmental to care'.

I guess my point is truth is truth, no matter the source.

beast (10h) : I was kind of hoping Douglas might come back to the Pack

beast (10h) : My question is how much do we trust Jenkins? In bad weather, he seemed to struggle a bit with ball control snapping, though he started at OG

beast (10h) : Well Jenkins probably knows he's not getting that 2026 salary number without a new contact... so just trying to get the new contact early

Zero2Cool (15h) : CB Rasul Douglas is visiting the #Seahawks today, per source.

dfosterf (18h) : He's a switch and baiter. Its the same as a bait and switcher except he agreed to the switch first lol

dfosterf (18h) : 6.8 mil raise next year. Those are existing contract numbers

dfosterf (18h) : 12.8 plus 4.8 pro rata signing bonus is 17.6 mil. Top center in the league at 18

Zero2Cool (21h) : 🏈Monday, Nov. 10: Eagles at Packers

buckeyepackfan (12-May) : Packers @ Bears week 16(Saturday Game)

Zero2Cool (12-May) : Clifford hasn't been the same since losing 8

dfosterf (12-May) : Sean Clifford would probably disagree

dfosterf (12-May) : Canuck Cannon. Got a very good feeling about this

Zero2Cool (12-May) : Tom Pelissero also reports what bboy stated

bboystyle (12-May) : The Green Bay Packers on Monday signed Taylor Elgersma, the Canadian-born quarterback who tried out at the team’s rookie camp last weekend

beast (12-May) : There were reports four days ago that the Packers were signing QB Taylor Elgersma, but no official action since

Zero2Cool (12-May) : And for Ian Rapoport to announce Saints send 1st and 2nd rounder to Packers for Malik Willis.

dfosterf (12-May) : *Elgersma*

dfosterf (12-May) : Today would be a good day to discover the Pack signed Taylor Engersma, the Canadian QB

Zero2Cool (11-May) : It wasn't. He simply wanted his money back. They refused. Cops came. They gave him his money in end.

dfosterf (11-May) : Fortunately it doesn't sound like a big deal

Zero2Cool (10-May) : Elgton Jenkins Involved In Strip Club Dispute ... Cops Called To Mitigate

Zero2Cool (10-May) : Derek Carr retires. Shoulder must be bad.

Zero2Cool (10-May) : Packers Pro Shop is not currently printing Golden #22 jerseys “until his number is confirmed after Training Camp.”

greengold (9-May) : My impression is he's a Peruvian soccer fan not a bares fan.

Martha Careful (9-May) : Favored Illinois Bishop?

beast (9-May) : Technically, the I in FIB stands for Italian now, Si?

dfosterf (8-May) : I never thought I'd live long enough to call a pope a FIB, but here we are

Martha Careful (8-May) : Chicago produces a pope before it produces a 4000 yard passing quarterback

wpr (8-May) : HAHAHA Mucky Comment of the day.

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : According to reports, Mel Kiper is furious that Sanders wasn't selected as the new Pope

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Time taken to get picked:

Zero2Cool (8-May) : New Pope: 2 days | Shedeur Sanders: 3 days

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Collin Whitchurch @cowhitchurch · 1h Chicago got a pope before it got a QB to throw for 4,000 yards in a season.

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : New Pope from Chicago; in other words, the city produced a Pope before a 4000 yard passer

beast (7-May) : My first name starts with R and my beer belly is quite voluptuous! Thank you for noticing 😏

Zero2Cool (7-May) : beast, you're just one R from being voluptuous.

Zero2Cool (7-May) : And now some Packers blogger is like Doubs to Steelers makes sense!!!!

Zero2Cool (7-May) : You saw me Tweet???

beast (7-May) : Supposedly Steelers will be trading WR George Pickens to the Cowboys for a 3rd and late round pick swap

Zero2Cool (5-May) : If I were to "Google" it, then I wouldn't read it in your words.

Martha Careful (5-May) : Yes, in the military S2’s work on IPB, PERCEC, PHYSEC and IO

dfosterf (4-May) : FYI civilian companies swipe the S2 designation from the military. S2 is the intelligence branch up to brigade level. G2 is division level.

dfosterf (4-May) : Google it. Make sure to tack NFL on it or you will get the military meaning

Zero2Cool (4-May) : S2?

beast (4-May) : Seems like the S2 has a love/hate relationship with professional scouts.

beast (4-May) : In theory, the S2 test how quickly a QBs brain can solve game like issues and how quickly they can do it.

dfosterf (4-May) : Are you gentlemen and at least one lady familiar with the S2 cognition
