The big one I know of for the USA market is DraftKings, which is fantasy sports. I'm not a gambler myself outside of the occasional lottery ticket, so I don't do sports betting, currently. I thought the recent ruling on sports betting was interesting so I've been keeping up with that.

That said, while fantasy sports never did it for me, I will be more open to placing some bets when it's real games with real outcomes; where it's all legit no nonsense. Right now I am following, very specifically, a company that is producing one of these apps, so I will at least download that one and give it a try.

Going to take a big hit selling the Winnie. Knew that possibility going in.

Winnie: $32,000

Rent for 7 months in SD (low ball): $1,800 x 7 = $12,600

Selling price for the Winn: $20,000


Bottom line: pretty much a break even. I'm good with that.

Been having a seemingly endless debate with people. Let's hear MB's take:


Waffles or Flapjacks?


Pancakes are another thing entirely, let's not even go there.

I checked for "flapjacks" on Wikipedia and it redirected me here.

It is one of those regional dialects that come up every now and then. In the United States, colloquially, it is popular to use the terms "flapjacks," "pancakes," and, for some, "hotcakes", interchangeably.

However, there are differences between the 3. For example, in the United Kingdom, the term "flapjack" refers to something made from sugar, butter, and oats, and is usually served with honey. While a pancake, is fried batter made from eggs, buttermilk, and flour. A hotcake is typically the closest thing to a pancake, with the only difference being that a hotcake is smaller and thinner, meaning you cannot really fill a hotcake with anything the way you can fill a pancake.

Fill? Like Amsterdam pancake style?

100% into the new place and out of the old. I'm going to slip into a coma for the next few days and try to physically recover (my back, neck, shoulders, etc. are ****ing toast).

Linda and I are still getting along great even with all of the stress from the move. We'd definitely forgotten how to compromise, along with knowing when it's time to simply bite your damn lip to eliminate stupid conflict.

But wait! Today, good people of Music Banter, is no ordinary day, because I have a ticket to see, live at The Academy, Manchester. The legendery lead singer of Bauhaus fame, the one and only, God of Goth... Peter Murphy!! :)
After 8 agonising hours of clock watching, I was home/showered/changed and on the bus to Town. Meet up with a couple of mates for a few scoops in a pub on Oxford Road and exchange stories of the days when Murphy was still with Bauhaus and how, even though he's got a different band now, we all agreed, what a great night it was gonna be...
...HE WAS ****E... IT WAS A ****E NIGHT...
Which leaves me to wonder...have you ever considered, that as you get older... you just may have already had, the best day of your life... :usehead:


This makes me think of Cats in the Cradle so much.

Did you just quote a "Your Day" post from 13 YEARS ago? Nothing wrong with that, just kind of odd . . .

I am reading the thread and commenting on it at the same time.

I wasn't a user here when that was posted, it isn't like I've read it before. Have you?
