I live in PSU country and it has been dead silent on who they're targeting. It seems like they picked the worst year imaginable to fire Franklin with so many other high profile jobs coming open.

We have joint checking and savings. All of our financial stuff we approach as a team. It’s our money and investments. With that being said, people need to do what works for them. I know couples who have separate accounts and they seem fine. To each their own.

I'm still on episode three where Washington was getting decimated in NYC. Even though I know most of what has been said, I'm still really enjoying it.

1. I wish they had spent more time on the vote for independence and the Declaration itself. They didn't mention the drama of Caesar Rodney riding in during a storm to cast Delaware's vote, or NY abstaining. They just kind of wedged it in at the end of episode two and let it be.

2. They've gone to great lengths to talk about the brutality of the Revolution, which most documentaries don't do. Since photography didn't exist then, we don't have the terrible battlefield pictures like from the Civil War. So it always seemed to me we just have very patriotic paintings of battle scenes that are extremely sanitized and it seemed almost like a gentlemen's affair. This has done well to push past that and discuss the horrors of war as they were.

They’re still -650 to make the playoffs of Fanduel, still pretty good odds.

I do a rewatch every few years and it still holds up. I got to meet one of the actors from the show right after in went off the air. I was in a Starbucks and I saw a guy who looked familiar and I realized it was the actor who played Detective Vernon Holley on the show. I went over and he was very appreciative of someone recognizing him and we talked about the show. He said he had to run out to his car, he had an autographed cast picture, and walked out. A few minutes went by and I figured he just split, he comes hustling back in and said he didn't have it, but asked for my address and three days later in showed up at my house. I still have it 17 years later.

Thomas Jefferson could pay that from the grave

2021, my friend and I are on the golf course during March Madness and he causally drops that he bet $50,000 on Baylor over Wisconsin. I almost fell over. We watched the second half of that game at the bar in the clubhouse. I'm pretty sure he has put even larger bets on games since then, but I don't know the specifics.

At this point he is pretty much a professional gambler and he is the one person I know who does really well at betting on sports.

Been around the kid a few times, no one is out to get him. It's obvious to everyone who is not directly related. BTW, mom is 5 feet, 250lbs and just blew a gasket because her husband called her fat.

Teacher here, that’s one of my favorite lines from parents, “you’re targeting my child!”. I have to explain to them, no I’m not, in fact I look the other way on a lot of things your kid does because I don’t want to deal with you. If I speed by a cop everyday they will start to look out for me, they’re not targeting me, I’m putting myself in that situation, but that logic is lost on many people.

Just walked out of the store, NY Strips were $22.99 a pound.

I heard someone say he is the Tim Duncan of golf. Not flashy but dominant, I think it’s fitting.

In hindsight I wish I was less conservative because I kinda hate my house and want a new one more every day, yet I probably have a 10 year prison sentence given interest rates.

Same here, I hate our house and would love to move on. It's extremely affordable, only 5% of our gross monthly pay, but it's older and I never wanted to buy it in the first place. We've been in it for 10 years, and have 10 years left on the mortgage, and it's allowed us to save and invest a ton of money, but it's also older and is constantly needing some type of upgrade.
