Unless you’re buying lotto tickets as a birthday gift for someone because you didn’t think enough in advance to get something real,, you’re a loser.

IT doesn’t matter what any of us think OR if we are concerned with the health portion of this virus, at all. What does matter is what is happening in the world and how it will affect us (even though you are healthy). The school closings are a very real reality for sure. And the ripple effect could be astronomical to you and I. Everything is happening so fast and people, schools, organizations, businesses are making fast decisions. In this case these fast decisions could also be called “panic” and when panic exists there’s not telling where it could all lead. The next 2-8 weeks could determine what the economy looks like for the next 2-8 years. I’m not concerned about getting sick at all but I am concerned with what the people that fear getting sick will do to the rest of us.

Apparently I’m the only one who remembers the stupid stuff I did as a kid. I’m 38. Was just going through a box of old stuff my mom saved. Found a detention slip I received for launching someone down the steps on the teachers chair. We all had a laugh and moved on. Remember playing smear the ….? We were playing in 6th grade and one of the guys broke his leg in 3 places. We made fun of him and blamed him for wearing a Brett Hull jersey, making him the target. Luckily stuff we ALL did wasn’t recorded back then. Doing dumb stuff is nothing new.

My thoughts exactly.. You have all turned into your parents and grand parents. Not saying that’s a bad thing but you do realize that right?

I guaranty there will be 5 times more adults killing someone by texting and driving in the next 17 minutes than the amount of kids that will die from this dumb prank. Think about that for a minute.

It’s super awesome when you have a good experience especially when there are kids around..

On the other hand… when you are as straight as a Grizzly’s d*ck your whole life and you encounter a bad one over and over it can really make a man bitter. And I know I’m not the only one in very Central MN>

IT’s kinda sad really.. And he will be completely broke in under 5 years.

You can look at this 2 ways.

1. No big deal because bass fisherman don’t keep bass anyways and there may be only little disturbance of the females on beds anyways.

2. The kind of people that will keep anything they catch may target these fish on beds because they’re easy to catch and there’s a lot more meat than a sunny or crappie…and a lot less work and time to acquire a substantial amount of poundage.

IF this IF that… etc.etc..

“If my aunt had nuts she’d be my uncle”

I’m not saying you’re a jerk at all but as said once or twice above.,, If it were me selling it I would give you the 250 back, change it to “as is” and find another buyer.

NO way I would ever spend this much effort on a buyer. just my 2cents.

Equal playing time is equal to the effort you put into it. Both at practice and at home.

Can we use the MN #1 excuse “the refs screwed us” yet?

Absolutely

They should have thrown a flag on the 49ers offense, for unnecessary roughness on the Packers Defense.

Yeah for a nobody running back to set the second highest playoff total of all time is embarrassing. The 4 TDs by the same guy is even worse. I thought the Pack had a good defense?

WOW That was a BUTT Kickin’!!!!!!

There’s always next year.

You guys are all making this WAY too complicated. Just send the dad a link to Coach Norman Dale. “My team’s on the floor”

In all seriousness. I would stick with my guys.

First off, absolutely do it!

I bought 7 years ago and have never regretted anything except not buying sooner. I’m a food plot seed dealer, so I talk to recreational property owners all the time. Everybody who does it, loves it. The land becomes their pride and joy and a legacy for their children and grandchildren.

How to buy?

All decisions stem from WHERE you think you want to buy based on what you want to do on your property and how long of a drive is acceptable. If you want pheasants, then the big woods of northern MN is not for you.

MAJOR FACTOR: Commuting time. Do NOT over-estimate how far you are willing to drive on a consistent basis. A 3-4 hour drive may SEEM ok when you’re all excited about seeing a property, but can be a major drag on the amount of time you can spend there. Also, all time spent in the truck is time you do NOT spend working on and enjoying the property.

This is the #1 thing I hear from landowners. They love their property BUT wish it were closer so they could spend more time there. Time is the most valuable commodity. You are younger and you will likely see your income rise over your life, but you will NOT get more time.

Once you have identified possible areas that suit your purpose and are within a driving distance that you believe is reasonable, only then can you start looking at prices, income options, expenses, etc and start formulating a plan.

It all starts with identifying areas based on what you want to do.

But get busy! You will only regret not doing it sooner.

Drop the MIC after that one Grouse. Nothing more needs to be said here.

Great Game. Great Heart. Great Coaching.

The team appears to be the real deal. Should be fun going forward.

LOL relax guys. Just pointing out facts and records!! Didn’t mean to pee in anyone’s Wheaties here.

We shall see. This must be why I scored high on Logic and low on Feeling in the most recent personality test I took!

GO GOPHERS!

PJ really knows how to work the system. He goes 8-0 against one of the weakest schedules in the country and then gets his money right before they have to play anybody. It will be another classic blunder from the UMN if he goes 1-3. But who knows if he goes 3-1 then maybe the UMN finally got it right.

It doesn’t matter who comes out of the West because they will get embarrassed by OSU.

My thoughts exactly.. Wait until he plays a couple of teams that are worth something. Here’s a little stat I searched up after last week. The TOTAL Record of the teams the Gophers beat AT THE TIME THEY played them is…….
.
.
.
.

.
.
12 Wins
24 Losses

Their 3 ranked teams left on their schedule are:
20 Wins
4 Losses

And then they have Northwestern at 1-7.

I am pulling for the Goofs as much as anyone but I am also a realist, anyone want to bet me that they finish the season 2-2?

Yeah it sucks. And my damNN truck went the OTHER WAY. So right now it reads 2:18. Man the headaches.

The worst part about all this review, non review, PI review is that the NFL is SO dang quick to react to a crybaby team. Last year it was the Saints that got screwed so they go to sue the NFL and because of that then we change the whole freakin’ league based on one bad call. Yes, there were other bad calls but none more highlighted and in a big game like that one. Now we all have to suffer through this crap.

And quite honestly I don’t even know if I can blame the officials for such a bad product this year. Their job has become SO subjective to the teams playing, the situations, the score, amount of time left on the clock,,etc. that they don’t have a clue what they should or shouldn’t do anymore! I’m a black and white kinda guy so when someone tells me that a flag should or shouldn’t be thrown in the last to minutes of the game, that doesn’t register with me at all. If it’s a penalty 1 minute into the game it’s a penalty on the last play of the game.

I blame the NFL for this and the front office specifically. Their product has become a joke since 2003 when they began to compile their case for the biggest lawsuit in modern time that will hit them upside the head in under 10 years from today.

Oh, so the only world championships you are counting if you drink the purple kool aid is the ones you want to. Kind of like the viking thread where you are only welcome if you have the opinion the purple want to hear. The freakin excuses go on and on when you bleed purple. Why don’t you just win a world championship and shut us up?… or is it just easier to list reasons why you can’t or you didn’t or the refs beat us, or the ball was slippery.

Alright I’ll bite Sticker.. Should we say we have 4 championships because we have 4 NFC championships?

Oh and winning a “world championship” would shut you up huh? BAHAHAAAA>

Man you Packer fans have some real hatred towards the Purple! As in, not a healthy hate!

Makes me wonder if at one point in time you all lost a high school girlfriend to a bro from MN??!

Patriots- And there isn’t a close second.

Should we ask this question again after week 8?

As said,, Pressure washer and see what it looks like from there.. Take some good before and after pics.. I am interested.

It’s $9
