Aaron Rodgers looked bad in that game.

When I moved years ago my buddy who worked for a milk distributor gave me 6 hard plastic milk containers. 

Now I take 2 of them when I shop and pack them myself.  So much easier carrying putting in my vehicle and carrying in the house.

I keep a couple of big banana boxes in my garage and throw them in the truck when I go shopping. When they fall apart, I get new ones from Costco. They work great.

It must be miserable being broke. Sucks to be you.

The Lakers continue to play well without LeBron. The addition of Deandre Ayton may turn out to be the missing piece they needed. I think this Lakers team can compete for a championship.

Anybody here tried an omakase meal? 

This is a Japanese pre-fix meal, around 12-15 small courses of mostly extremely fresh and delicious sushi. It usually costs around $150-$200 and can be simply amazing. There are special restaurants that offer this- there’s only a handful in Southern California. I’ve now tried it twice and I plan on going again (though not often; it’s really pricey.) An incredible dining experience.

Happy Veterans Day! 
 

Anyone reading this who has spent any time in our armed forces: thank you for your service.

Biden said he was going to cure cancer. Has he done that yet.

Even as a response to @seafoam1 this is in really poor taste. 

Politics aside (which it will always be from me in this thread) I wish Biden or Trump or any President would put a maximum, space program like effort into this issue. My mother and brother and best friend died of it. This past month I learned another close friend has prostate cancer and my cousin has breast cancer. I’m sure I’m not rare; everyone reading this has close friends and family who have died or suffered greatly from this. I’m 60 years old and I know that any day, any month I could be told I have some form of it; the odds are decent no matter what I try to do to stay healthy. 
 

So please let’s try to refrain from calling anyone around here or elsewhere a cancer.

Dude, it’s a joke…. I know it will get seafoam’s panties in a bunch…. Plus, I have had many family members and relatives die from this terrible disease…

I know. We all have. Guess I’m just sensitive to joking about this right now. All good.

Pusty is the one following me around. Talk about panties in a bunch. 

She can't quit me.

If you think Ayton is the missing piece, you must have been missing a lazy player with zero basketball IQ.

I don't think I've done it.  We almost did it at Nobu in NYC when we visited our daughter in September.  I think it was $225 each, we probably should have done it since we were celebrating my 5 year cancer survival.  I just looked and there are some places near me that offer it.  Next celebration, we'll consider it.

Hes a different player this year. At least so far. Not the guy that was advertised. 
 

Congrats on the cancer fight!

For a while he was getting tolerable, but Seafoam is making a strong run at Most Insufferable poster of the year.

Coming through in the clutch is the mark of a true champion.

It's hard to prove a negative.  I just had in my mind that there was a window where he posted relevant comments and responses.

He's getting stiff competition from weepaws tho.  Weepaws also was OK for a while, mostly sticking to posting in his religious thread (never a link of course, but at least he was contained).  Now he is bouncing into threads typing gibberish which is anti-Trump, but the funny thing is he was too much of a little girl to actually vote in 2024, so his posts just come off as a whiny biotch.
