Evening all,

Tired after my busy day. Got the bathroom cleaned and set back up, finished putting the stuff back in our closet, and finally fixed the toilet in the guest bathroom. You'd flush it and not get any water in the tank for several minutes. Had the part, bought it months ago. Took 20 minutes, but another thing off my to do list. Tomorrow is my last vacation day. It's sped by, and while I've gotten a ton of stuff done, still more to do.

I guess my comment on not rooting for the Yankees anymore has upset a lot of people here.

Feeling Guilty?:D:p:eek:o_O Not for nothing, George, I gave up on the Yankees, around the time they moved to the new Yankee Stadium. Several Reasons, but kissing A-rod's butt, and expecting Derek Jeter to take a home town discount is just one of my grievances. The way they treated some of the long time season ticket holders, is another. YES Network, another reason, plus a host of others, including the ones you cited.

I view sports, the same way I view this forum...No Politics, No Religion, etc...Baseball and other sports are for entertainment, not for expressing one's opinions. There are numerous venues for that...Further, I don't need to be educated, informed or have my awareness raised by some TV network, during a sports broadcast. Paid commercial spots...well they are generally in bad taste, but help pay the bills...but they are on during intermission or between innings, when I'm doing something else.

The Mets and Phillies are more entertaining, and I'm a Baltimore Orioles fan FWIW.

BTW, and going off topic, How about Mad Max Scherzer, not only getting kicked out for a sticky glove and hand, but getting a ten game suspension? That's a little excessive for a first offense...eh? Of course,MLB is an organization that has completely embraced sports gambling, but still upholds their lifetime ban on Pete Rose...

Going further off topic, time for a rant!
Verizon, and it's authorized vendors get the award for lack of complete transparency. I'm referring to the "deal" we supposedly got on the wife's I-14 phone. It's very possible that nothing the VZ store person told us was correct. The sales agreement only says the phone costs $810, and at that price we wouldn't have bought one. But the "recovery" promotion supposedly discounts the phone $500, bringing the price down to $310.00. Won't see that adjustment until July, if at all. Lesson learned...I got one thing fixed today, but the rep could not find the promotion, even though I have a copy of it. Ma Bell's offspring, keeping mom's sleazy traditions.

Louis, I am not sure, the way things are going we are going to have to do something or we will be over run, seriously, and we don't want that to happen. Actually, there is a vet who does "volunteer work" at the local Tractor Supply on Saturday Mornings - I might ask her is she does or knows of anyone who does.

Beause they are feral, catching and containing them for the nearly 30 mile return trip might prove interesting.
