Football, Baseball and Stuff

Just for Bayne.....below are the results of my Week 3 Football Picks.  Ugh.  It isn't pretty. 

WINNERS ARE IN BOLD

NE
Buffalo - I lost my 15, tyvm

Denver
Tennessee - I won 12

Houston
New Orleans - I won 11

NYG
Philly - I lost 13

Miami
Cleveland - I won 7

Jacksonville
Carolina - I won 8

SF
Cincy - I lost 10

Jets
Oak - I lost 3

KC
San Diego - I won 16 *whew*

Balt
St. Louis - I won 9

Ari
Seattle - I won 2

Chicago
GB - I won 6

Atlanta
TB - I won 1

Pitt
Indy - I won 14

Dal
Wash - I won 5

For those keeping track I got 91 points out of a possible 136 and 11 winners out of 16.  I know 11 out of 16 doesn't sound terrible but I lost a lot (ty duggle for that lesson on 'a lot') of my big numbers.  I didn't even bother to add up Waffles total for the week yet but I know he has me beat.  He hit a lot of his big numbers.  The biatch.

Speaking of being beaten.....

The sox lost again last night and the yankees did too.  The one time I wanted the yanks to win....it figures.  This means that TB and the sox are now tied for the wild card race.  This isn't good.  The sox have zero momentum to help them through.  Beckett pitched last night - we need to get wins when our ace is on the mound of they will be hanging up their cleats very soon.  2 games left of regular season.

While we're on the subject of baseball, The Phillies won last night, which was their 100th win of the season.  Good for them I suppose.  I'm not a major fan of the NL but 100 wins for Phillie is a rarity and should be mentioned.  Last time it happened was in the 1870's.  (okay it was the 1970's...whatevah)

Lastly, I need your opinion on something.  I've been thinking about changing the look of this blog so it looks more like its content....so it looks more like a poker blog.  My question to you is, do you think I should leave it just as it is or change it to something like

THIS

or

THIS

or

THAT

I wonder if the examples above look a little more professional that the blog  you're reading here.  Sugar Bear was insistent that I keep the good old original one.  "Mom, you know I hate your blog but don't change it.  I like the kind of purple color". 

That's one person's opinion but he doesn't like change.  Ever.

Although changing the template would probably ten years off my life but I'll cross that bridge when I get to it.

Play smart.

I vote for keeping your blog the way it is. The other examples seem too bright and busy for m.

Hmmm it would be easier that way.

Isn't all that flash enticing though?

It's up to you... I don't particularly like the examples you posted.. but I see your going for some bling.

I have the feeling if you decide to change things I will be getting calls for weeks.. :).

Waffles Feintstein!

I agree that none of the examples are perfect, but they show the general direction of where I was thinking of going.

And you'll help me! You said so yourself! :)

My question to you is, do you think I should leave it just as it is or change it

Go for it, but tone down some of the examples you showed is/

Mojo,

What is this "tone down" term you speak of? It's not part of my vocab but I'll try.....I mean Waffles will try. You don't think I'd be doing this myself do you?

I guess if I had to pick one of the three it would be the middle one. The others are a bit much...

I also hate change but I decided to pay someone to do my blog. I liked the outcome.

Dogs Are Vermin

I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. I don't like dogs. Sugar Bear does. I especially don't like small dogs. I'm considering getting a dog, a chihuaha.  I must be out of my fucking mind.  The dog needs a home and it's free (I'm fucking cheap).  Sugar Bear doesn't know of this thank goodness. OMFG I should just say NO like Nancy Reagan, or as Waffles said, Barbara Bush.  :P Oh and there are a couple of new blogs on the blog roll over yonder. --->  Check out the newbies, Rob and Cranky.  Good shiat. Josie PS I should really just say no instead of ruining my life, right? PPS As luck would have it Sugar Bear has always wanted a chihuahua specifically.  :(  and a duck.

I'm busier than a cat covering up shit on a concrete floor so you'll have to forgive me for not posting today. What, you thought this was a post?  Um, no it isn't. But, if you're desperate to read something about Very Josie, and if you like crafty humor, you could go ---> HERE as this post tickles my funny bone.  Go on now, go THERE and enjoy some fine writing for a change, and tell him Very Josie sent you. Snaps for Josie!  (you have to go HERE to appreciate this line and then come back here to leave me a comment.  Just because I'm too busy to post doesn't mean I don't like getting comments.  Now scoot!)

Upset

I got a lot of much needed sleep last night and woke up with intentions of writing a very funny story but plans have changed my friends. I just read Tony's Latest Post and I'm too worried or upset to write about anything so frivolous.  I think many of his readers just see him as an interesting story, and not a person.  I see the person, who I was trying so very hard to steer away from a train wreck, but it didn't work.  In fact, the part that scares me the most is maybe I, with my good intentions, pushed him further off the cliff.  Maybe I put too much pressure on him to avoid the machines - too much pressure about something he is unable to control.  I need to shut the fuck up and stop giving out unsolicited advice, which most likely will not happen.  I cannot express how badly I feel about this. I was only trying to help because sometimes when you're in the eye of the hurricane you don't have the entire picture, at least not a...
