QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Nov 24, 2014 -> 04:04 PM) Not really political but relating to this topic, beginning in February my family will once again be a two-income family and we need to figure out how to get the best value in health insurance between our two employers. Anybody have experience/insight with this that they'd like to share. How much value is there in both people paying for insurance? It will all depend on the individual programs. Honestly, take a night, get all the paperwork out and crunch the #s. Just make sure you include any penalty that one program may have for spouses that have their own coverage available.

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Nov 24, 2014 -> 11:04 AM) Seriously? This outlook pisses me off, that win was earned by our seniors they deserved it. Forget about Beckman for one day and enjoy an Illini win, he isn't coming back anyways so relax and let the seniors/team have their moment. I have to agree. Enjoy your damn team. We all thought they'd win 5 or 6 games this year and here they are.

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Nov 24, 2014 -> 09:13 AM) Must win game for the Bears this week. Go Bears. You can do this! ...literally every game for the rest of the season is a must win.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Nov 19, 2014 -> 09:32 AM) I'm having it put into a contract. I'm not agreeing to anything (nor pulling the plug on the new opp) without a guaranteed contract. I want to puke. Whatever you do, don't make a quick reactionary decision. Take a day to think about it and go with your gut.

QUOTE (knightni @ Nov 19, 2014 -> 08:06 AM) Any thoughts on Jonas Gray doing anything this week? I'd probably shy away from him. Detroit is better against the run.

Do you trust the people that you're dealing w/ at your old company? I pulled this move a few months ago and it worked, but you have to really trust the people you're dealing with. If you stay with your old company and they're the type that will resent you for this move, your work environment can completely change for the worse.

QUOTE (knightni @ Nov 17, 2014 -> 08:59 AM) Looks like more lake effect over the next few days. Four to 15 inches and a possible 1 to 2 inches of snowfall per hour. Y'all are crazy to live on that side of the lake.

Miracle Gronk TD gave me the W yesterday. That will be a fantasy memory I have for awhile.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Nov 12, 2014 -> 03:10 PM) I am a God. Brought all of my people over. Great situation. Insane compensation. Great company. How much drama was there at your old company?

I hung on by 2 points to win this week. Thank god they finally pulled Sanchez. I had the wonderful RB trio of Mccoy, Hillman and Hill this week - g'lord.

I can't believe it's 2014 and I have to worry about Mark Sanchez tonight.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Nov 7, 2014 -> 10:55 AM) Ugh. Waiting for a response on a counter is the worst. It's the "I had it, did I screw it up" feeling that makes me want to die. Relax, I highly doubt a company would pull an offer off of the table due to a counter. They go into it expecting a negotiation just like you do.

What in the world happened w/ Dalton last night? He was laugh out loud bad on some of those throws.

QUOTE (Brian @ Nov 6, 2014 -> 06:32 PM) Ha, I finally ditched my AOL email, that I had since 98, last summer. It's not easy switching emails these days. Have to go change it under all your accounts and junk. When we're hiring and looking at resumes, I immediately judge someone poorly if they're still using an aol email address....

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Nov 3, 2014 -> 08:57 AM) Last night's Walking Dead, while somewhat intriguing, was a major letdown since it took up the entirety of the episode. It was really poorly written. They tried to be cryptic, but it just ended up really confusing.

Has anyone watched "Transparent" on Amazon Prime? My wife and I laugh out loud at this show more than anything we've watched in years.

In what world are you not starting Gronk?

I had the Brady-Gronk connection and I'm still fighting for my life this week, so that's fun.

I had hillman, he had emmanual sanders. Woof.

How did Indianapolis hold gio and hill to nothing? I saw the hit, but not much else.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Oct 16, 2014 -> 11:10 PM) I listened to Soxtalk. Yay, Vereen. Also started Ivory. Nice. I didn't listen to my own advice and sat Vereen. Though that was mostly due to the fact that I had Brady/Gronk starting and didn't want to have a fluky weather or special teams game doom my team on a Thursday night. At least my opponent sat Ivory, so I'll call it a wash.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Oct 16, 2014 -> 02:25 PM) I am thinking of taking up golf again after a 5 year absence from golf when I'd relent and play with my dad who has since passed away. Please tell me if I should bother with a return to the sport. 1.) I worked at a golf course as a youth and my best score ever is a lousy 92 or 88. I forget which. 2.) I am 6-foot-2 and often feel 'awkward' in hitting a golf ball, like I'm too tall to be doing this. I've always felt more comfortable hitting a tennis ball or softball. 3.) When I golfed I often would hit a towering drive or smash a good fairway shot but I always would either duff a chip or smash a putt or hook a drive and wind up getting a 6 or 7 on a par 4. Rarely would I complete a hole effectively, thus I'd get maybe one birdie every 2 rounds and only one or two pars a round. I'd always have at least one nine. 4.) I got frustrated at some point during a round at continued ineffectiveness. 5.) I at some point in every round was glad I played because of either the greenery, the friends, whatever. 6.) I need new golf clubs and would have to buy them and that might be difficult to figure out what to buy. My question to you is: Should I abandon all thoughts of returning to golf? Do you good golfers despise hacks like me polluting a course? Are some people just not meant to golf? Thank u for any advice. The winter is ahead with time to decide. I'm fairly new to golf (only playing seriously for like 2 years) and I love it. Really caught the bug this year. Most golfers on a public course can't break 100 consistently (including me). You'll feel much better about it when you get out there and see how bad most people are. One tip I learned was to play match play when you're not good. With this, if you have a horrendous hole - it doesn't doom you for the entire round. It can certainly be frustrating, but all it takes is one good (or not horrible) hole to have fun again. If nothing else, it's fun to get some fresh air, hang out with your friends and escape for a bit. As for clubs, getting a cheap starter set would probably be fine. I would recommend taking a few lessons before you really get involved though. It will stop you from forming bad habits early on.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Oct 16, 2014 -> 12:40 AM) Shane Vereen or Keenan Allen this week? If PPR, Vereen.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Oct 15, 2014 -> 01:07 PM) Ya, I'm pretty sure that was 04. Anyways that 03 team after they traded for Robbie and Carl was so damn talented and nothing. The offense was loaded, we had 3 of the best starting pitchers in the league and Damaso/Flash were absolutely unhittable aaaaand nothing. If it wasn't for 05 I'd still be super, super pissed about 03. Jose Paninagua year right? First game of a huge late series w/ the twins - he comes in - we lose - we get swept.

Vereen/Joique/Bush/Hillman/Sankey? Pick One to compliment Gio. (PPR) I have quite the stash of boom or bust RB2s.
