Just to catch you up....our daughter from Roswell, N.M., moved back home this past summer...you know the story; divorce; move home for a short while; yada yada!!

She brought her three dogs with her. Two small, well behaved dogs and Waldo, the German Wiener Dog, AKA "Bismarck." He is a sweet dog and he and our Yorkie (Murphi) our best buddies.

Well, being raised in "no-snow" country this winter has been a surprise for them. Especially Waldo, who is about 7 pounds over the weight limit for heavy cruisers, and whose legs barely reach the ground. This last snow storm really almost did Waldo in. 37 inches of snow is not what he is used to.....hell, 6 inches of snow is more than he can handle. Murphi has learned the more snow the better skidding on it, and has her "Murphi Sled Runs" all over the back yard.

So...last week we had some warmer weather and the top layer of snow melted a little, then froze over night. This continued for a few days until there was a nice crust of ice on top of about 2 1/2 feet of snow. Murphi, being a svelt 9.5 pounds, merely sprinted across the top of the snow, while poor Waldo would try it...get two steps and bam...back end would break through and he's stuck. After several "ass-end sinkings" Waldo got smart and used his weight to just plow through the snow and ice crust like a Great Lake Ice Breaker. Kind of funny. Murphi sprinting across the top of a few feet of snow and then this wake of snow with a black head just above snow line following her.

Then yesterday morning the dogs were out and I hear Murphi yipping and standing over this hole in the snow about halfway up our backyard. I start up there, in slippers and Packer PJ's, and suddenly this black head pokes up over the top of the snow hole and it's Waldo. I swear he was grinning and thinking...."Ha! I knew I could get you out in this shit with just your slippers on!"

I'm gonna kill those dogs............once the snow melts and I can get to them.

beast (9h) : But the Return from IR designations had to be applied by the 53 man cutdown.

Mucky Tundra (14h) : *had to be IRed at 53
Mucky Tundra (14h) : beast, I thought the designate return from IR players had to be IR at cutdowns to 53, not before
beast (15h) : It's a brand new rule, either last season or this season, prior, all pre-season IRs were done for the season
beast (15h) : But the Packers would have to use one for their return from IR spots on him, when they cut down to 53.

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : *to be able
Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : and because it's not a dynasty league (which makes a lot more sense to be ability to trade picks)
Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : Oh I know; I was just exploring and it blew my mind that you could trade picks because of the whole reordering thing
Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : Zero, I think I preferred my offer: your 1st for my 15th rounder
Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : Keep in mind, we do a draft reorder once all members locked in
Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : You can have my 12th Rd for your 2nd round

Mucky Tundra (3-Aug) : Family Night! WE ARE SO BACK!
Mucky Tundra (2-Aug) : To this day, I'm still miffed about his 4 TD game against Dallas on Thanksgiving going to waste
Martha Careful (2-Aug) : Congratulations Sterling Sharpe. He was terrific and I loved watching him play.
beast (2-Aug) : I believe it's technically against the CBA rules, but Jerry just calls it a simple unofficial chat... and somehow gets away with it.
beast (2-Aug) : Jerry Jones is infamous for ̶n̶e̶g̶o̶t̶i̶a̶t̶i̶n̶g̶ chatting with players one on one... and going around the agent.
Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : Oo just saw a blurb saying that Dallas negotiated directly with Parsons and not through his agent
Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : I assumed that both guys will get paid, just a matter of when or how we get there
Zero2Cool (1-Aug) : McLaurin nor Micah going anywhere. They will get money
Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : the Synder years or do they take care of one of their own?
Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : Do the Commanders risk losing a top WR with an emerging QB just because he's turning 30 and potentially risk damaging the rebuild from
Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : Turns 30 this September, plays at a high level and Washington has some cap space I believe
