Make sure you get one of those small clip-on fans. That way, she can clip it on the head of the bed and blow it right in her face. Lol

Is it an all freshmen dorm?  One roomate or a suite with more?  You bringing the big screen TV or is the roomie?  I laugh when I see the number of 55" plus TVs being moved into the dorms.

I remember when we were moving in to our dorm freshman year, we see a couple guys moving a big ass tv into the hall. One of those giant backed ones back in the day. Thought to ourselves, we really out to make friends with those guys. Turns out they were moving into the room across the hall, and I'm still friends with them now. In fact, one of them was in my wedding party.

And now they have a bigger ass TV at home.

I had the 36" Sony Trinitron which was I think the largest CRT TV.  That SOB was heavy!  Glad Best Buy has free removal when they delivered the Flat screen replacement.  Nice Panasonic 50" that I still have.  Although Panasonic which made some of the best TVs, is no longer in the business.

I was pretty late getting a flat screen tv, we've only had one since 2017. I remember taking the old tube tv out, sucker felt like it weighed 300 pounds. And it was only a 32 inch or something like that.

The difference between guys and girls moving in is always interesting.  Guys bring in their TV and game system, mom makes the bed (probably for the last time the semester), couple of suitcases of clothes, box of toiletries and they're all set.
Women make their beds with two extra pillows, hang matching drapes, Box of stuffed animals, box of framed pictures, four boxes of toiletries, two boxes of shoes, two boxes of underwear, six suitcases of clothes, and two boxes of miscellaneous wall decorations, desk decorations, flower vases ect.

Today is Thursday, Aug. 26, the 238th day of 2021.
There are 127 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History:

On August 26, 1920, the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, guaranteeing American women’s right to vote, was certified in effect by Secretary of State Bainbridge Colby.

On this date:

In 1817, the University of Michigan was founded.

In 1883, the island volcano Krakatoa began cataclysmic eruptions, leading to a massive explosion the following day.

In 1939, the first televised major league baseball games were shown on experimental station W2XBS: a double-header between the Cincinnati Reds and the Brooklyn Dodgers at Ebbets Field. (The Reds won the first game, 5-2, the Dodgers the second, 6-1.)

In 1944, French Gen. Charles de Gaulle braved the threat of German snipers as he led a victory march in Paris, which had just been liberated by the Allies from Nazi occupation.

In 1957, the Soviet Union announced it had successfully tested an intercontinental ballistic missile.

In 1968, the Democratic National Convention opened in Chicago; the four-day event that resulted in the nomination of Hubert H. Humphrey for president was marked by a bloody police crackdown on antiwar protesters in the streets.

In 1972, the summer Olympics opened in Munich, West Germany.

In 1985, 13-year-old AIDS patient Ryan White began “attending” classes at Western Middle School in Kokomo, Indiana, via a telephone hook-up at his home -- school officials had barred Ryan from attending classes in person.

In 2004, the nation’s supply of vaccine for the impending flu season took a big hit when Chiron Corp. announced it had found tainted doses in its factory, and would hold up shipment of about 50 million shots.

In 2017, Hurricane Harvey spun into Texas, unloading extraordinary amounts of rain. (The hurricane killed nearly 70 people, damaged more than 300,000 structures and caused an estimated $125 billion in damage.)

In 2015, Alison Parker, a reporter for WDBJ-TV in Roanoke, Virginia, and her cameraman, Adam Ward, were shot to death during a live broadcast by a disgruntled former station employee who fatally shot himself while being pursued by police.

In 2018, a gunman opened fire on fellow gamers at a video game tournament in Jacksonville, Fla., killing two men and wounding 10 others before taking his own life. Playwright Neil Simon, whose comedies included “The Odd Couple” and “Barefoot in the Park,” died at the age of 91.
Title: Re: 8/26/2021
Post by: Travellin Dave on August 26, 2021, 10:17:46 AM
Ten years ago: More than 2 million people along the Eastern Seaboard were ordered to move to safer ground as Hurricane Irene approached the coast. A Boko Haram sect member detonated a car loaded with explosives at the United Nations headquarters in Nigeria’s capital Abuja, killing 25 people and wounding more than 100 others.


Five years ago: San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick remained seated on the team’s bench rather than standing for the national anthem before the Niners played host to the Green Bay Packers in an exhibition game, saying he believed the United States was oppressing African Americans and other minorities.


One year ago: Seventeen-year-old Kyle Rittenhouse was arrested in Illinois in the shooting deaths of two people and the wounding of another during a third night of protests in Kenosha, Wisconsin, over the police shooting of a Black man, Jacob Blake. (Rittenhouse, who said he was defending himself after the three men attacked him, is awaiting trial on charges including two homicide counts.) On the third night of their convention, Republicans led by Vice President Mike Pence aggressively defended law enforcement; the convention unfolded amid new protests against racial injustice. The U.N. children’s agency said at least a third of children around the world couldn’t access remote learning when the COVID-19 pandemic closed schools. All three scheduled NBA playoff games were postponed, with players choosing to boycott in their strongest statement yet against racial injustice. (The games resumed three days later, after players and owners agreed to expand initiatives, many tied to increased voting awareness and opportunities.)

Mine still had a great picture to the end, one of the main reasons I resisted the move to a flat screen. The last straw for me was watching sports on it, and since everything was being broadcast for the new wide screens, the scores were getting cut off MY screen, so I'd only know the score when they went to a commercial.

In 56 years of life, 32 of it married, I had never purchased a television.  We just always got hand-me-downs given to us of increasing size, up to the big Hitachi projection TV we had until April 2019.  On our 20th anniversary, Carol decided, "We should freak everyone out and buy a TV."  I was sick as a dog, but I knew that phrase meant I had to find it that freaking day, before she changed her mind.  So we got a 70"  flat screen.

There is nothing "token" about Jake Shimabukuro.  He's the Jimi Hendrix of the Ukulele.  And he's also a fantastic guitarist.

Just got the 21-22 performance schedule from the Brooks Center.   This year is a "Guitar Festival" (spread out over the fall and spring with Jason Vieaux, Christopher Berg, Hiroya Tsukamoto, Jake Shimabukuro (token Ukulele), Molly Tuttle.  Some very nice non guitar offerings as well.
Good to have it back after nothing for a year and a half.

I'm in Providence to move my daughter into her dorm. We've currently got a RealFeel of 72°. By noon it's projected it will feel like 101°.
Is it an all freshmen dorm?  One roomate or a suite with more?  You bringing the big screen TV or is the roomie?  I laugh when I see the number of 55" plus TVs being moved into the dorms.
I remember when we were moving in to our dorm freshman year, we see a couple guys moving a big ass tv into the hall. One of those giant backed ones back in the day. Thought to ourselves, we really out to make friends with those guys. Turns out they were moving into the room across the hall, and I'm still friends with them now. In fact, one of them was in my wedding party.
And now they have a bigger ass TV at home.

I had the 36" Sony Trinitron which was I think the largest CRT TV.  That SOB was heavy!  Glad Best Buy has free removal when they delivered the Flat screen replacement.  Nice Panasonic 50" that I still have.  Although Panasonic which made some of the best TVs, is no longer in the business.
I was pretty late getting a flat screen tv, we've only had one since 2017. I remember taking the old tube tv out, sucker felt like it weighed 300 pounds. And it was only a 32 inch or something like that.
Not that late, but I wasn't a quick adopter either.  Kept saying that I'd get one when the Sony finally went...it never did.
I have two 50" Sony LCDs from about 15 years ago. They're heavy compared to today's LED TVs but those suckers are still going strong.

There is nothing "token" about Jake Shimabukuro.  He's the Jimi Hendrix of the Ukulele.  And he's also a fantastic guitarist.
I meant non-guitar, he's not listed as part of the Guitar series but I included him because I like him a lot and am looking forward to that September 9 show.

Just a fun fact, the Brooks Center for the Performing Arts was built with a donation from Robert Howell Brooks, a 1960 graduate of Clemson with a degree in Dairy Science.

After service in the Army, he formed Eastern Foods in 1966 based on the first non-dairy creamer he developed.  They later also sold Naturally Fresh salad dressings and sauces.

In 1984, Brooks bought and developed the Hooters restaurant chain.
He died in 2006.

The cigar itself is very good. I've smoked a decent amount of them. Is it a good price for $5 each?? I feel like it could be better but I'll defer to Dave.

Fair price is about $6 per, so that's a solid.

Unfortunately, it was likely someone telling you that your car's warranty is expiring.
