Happy birthday buddy! I know you kids are going through rough times, but in the words of my dad.. "FIGHT!"

I heard a story where a guy crashed in an airplane up in the mountains one time.. Landed in a lake, so he ended up surviving the crash. After realizing he had no radio or a way to contact help, he took the pistol that he had with him and took his life. A few hours later a rescue chopper found his plane and his body. Moral? Sometimes when it feels like you can't go on any longer, you are closer to the end of the tunnel than you think. You just gotta hang in there.

dang it - i KNEW your birthday was early in july but i couldn't remember the exact date. shame on me!!!

happy birthday, my dear friend alan. i know all of those things you were talking about are difficult & sometimes you don't know why you're still here but let me tell you something...the game that you, LJ, my dad & i went to was a memory i will never forget. your being there made an extremely emotional night for my dad & i much more bearable & enjoyable. we both knew it was our last trip to lambeau together. i was near tears almost every second we were there...until YOU & LJ showed up. you helped me take a deep breath & actually enjoy that final game together with my dad. THAT my dear friend is ONE MINISCULE reason that you are still here.

Happy Birthday, Cheesey!

Hey, you're one of the few...the proud...the old-timers who got to see the Lombardi era...

Hang in there, buddy. Don't know if it's worth an awful lot, but you'd be missed around here by a bunch of people.

Yeah, Cheesey.

Echo what everyone above said. You're a great guy who made me feel welcome when I first joined this board. I hope you get through what life is giving you. Take care, my friend.

Happy belated Birthday, Cheesey old man! Hang in there 'cause I want you to get to 68 so you can be the same age as me. I'm on a holding pattern now, so until further notice, I'm 68 and gonna stay that.
Best wishes,

Bob

Happy belated birthday Cheesey! Life can be rough sometimes, but you gotta keep fighting. Like some, I was one of the members who felt welcome on this board when I first joined because of you.

I'll say a prayer for you and your wife. Stay strong.

Thank you. ALL of you.
You don't know how much the words of encouragement mean.
I haven't given up yet.
My wife has been out "pounding the pavement" for a job. Had a promising lead today, and it fell through.
I guess sometimes i don't realize that maybe i do matter to some people.
Again, thank you.
I'll keep you posted on how things are from time to time.

Cheesey-

Here is a link to the local paper's classified that run each week on a Tuesday..

http://www.centralwinews.com/starnewsshopper/shopper.html

Not sure what type of job LJ is looking for... but I have some contacts around in the manufacturing realm if that is the area... rent/homes are affordable enough some even out in the country..

If of interest.. PM and we can go from there.. I would be willing to drive down.. pick you up for a couple days visit up here and let you see what the area is all about.. I have little doubt the you would enjoy it.. not sure on your wife and how attached you are to that area, but it is a quieter life up this way.

dfosterf (10m) : Justice Musqueda over at Acme Packing put up an excellent synopsis of the Packers 1st round options this am

wpr (19-Apr) : 5 days

beast (18-Apr) : 6 days

wpr (17-Apr) : 7 days

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Trade, cut or keep

dfosterf (16-Apr) : that from Jaire

dfosterf (16-Apr) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission

dfosterf (16-Apr) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : That someone ... likely the agent.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"

dfosterf (16-Apr) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that

dfosterf (16-Apr) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers are receiving interest in Jaire Alexander but a trade is not imminent

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Jalen Ramsey wants to be traded. He's never happy is he?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : two 1sts in 2022 and two 2nd's in 2023 and 2024

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers had fortunate last three drafts.

dfosterf (15-Apr) : I may have to move

dfosterf (15-Apr) : My wife just told the ancient Japanese sushi dude not enough rice under his fish

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I think a dozen is what I need

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Go fund me for this purpose just might work. A dozen nurses show up at 1265 to provide mental health assistance.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Maybe send a crew of Angels to the Packers draft room on draft day.

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I am the Angel that gets visited.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Visiting Angels has a pretty good reputation

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : what

Martha Careful (14-Apr) : WINNING IT, not someone else losing it. The best victory though was re-uniting with his wife

Martha Careful (14-Apr) : The manner in which he won it was just amazing and wonderful. First blowing the lead then getting back, then blowing it. But ultimately

Zero2Cool (12-Apr) : I'm guessing since the thumb was broken, he wasn't feeling it.

dfosterf (10-Apr) : Looking for guidance. Not feeling the thumb.

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : If they knew about it or not

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : I don't recall that he did which is why I asked.

Zero2Cool (10-Apr) : Guessing they probably knew. Did he have cast or something on?

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : Did they know that at the time or was that something the realized afterwards?

Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Van Ness played most of season with broken thumb

wpr (9-Apr) : yay

Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Mark Murphy says Steelers likely to protect Packers game. Meaning, no Ireland

Zero2Cool (8-Apr) : Struggling to figure out what text editor options are needed and which are 'nice to have'

Mucky Tundra (8-Apr) : *CHOMP CHOMP CHOMP*

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : WR who said he'd break Xavier Worthy 40 time...and ran slower than you

Mucky Tundra (2-Apr) : Who?
