This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Try watching the game in the Catskills by RJD

My beautiful daughter Marilyn (Slotts, Jvan, GCND, Tim Kelly met her twenty years ago when she was almost 9) got married Saturday in the Catskills to a super guy so we ended up watching the opening game in a Bed & Breakfast tucked away on a private dirt road impossible to find but with a lovely stream running through the back yard.

The area (Mount Temper) has horrible internet service. It took an hour to get the game on my Hulu account. Watched the entire contest until we lost the signal just before the tuck rule play. Could not get back online again. I did see a headline about "...execution after FSU's win" so I went to bed assuming we lost.

My eyes were a bit clouded with Bowmore Scotch so perhaps there was no apostrophe.

The wedding in the mountains had been perfect so I tried not to show my disgust and pain to my lovely wife Diane.

Drove half-way back to my older brother's place in New Jersey before I found out we actually won the football game.
