The problem with that is I'll have to do my Wordle before looking at the banter each day because it will definitely influence my first word. Eventually I'll forget and it won't be an issue. 😂

That sucks. I feel terrible for her. Hopefully it's a 24-hour thing and she doesn't miss the show.

Maybe it was something she ate at the Browns game?

That's certainly possible, but I don't remember her eating anything someone else didn't also eat, and we're all fine. She says a couple friends at school have been sick, that might've been it as well. I guess we'll see.

We all actually kinda laughed, because the one manager who sent out the email about the gift card (who none of us care for) said this would be perfect for holiday shopping, even though we won't get the gift card until right before NYE. So the joke was that we would have to be shopping for either President's Day or MLK Jr Day.

They definitely SHOULD sell cigars.

Today is Monday, Dec. 19, the 353rd day of 2022.
There are 12 days left in the year.



Today’s Highlight in History:

On Dec. 19, 1998, President Bill Clinton was impeached by the Republican-controlled House for perjury and obstruction of justice. (Clinton was subsequently acquitted by the Senate.)

On this date:

In 1777, during the American Revolutionary War, Gen. George Washington led his army of about 11,000 men to Valley Forge, Pennsylvania, to camp for the winter.

In 1907, 239 workers died in a coal mine explosion in Jacobs Creek, Pennsylvania.

In 1946, war broke out in Indochina as troops under Ho Chi Minh launched widespread attacks against the French.

In 1950, Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower was named commander of the military forces of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization.

In 1960, fire broke out on the hangar deck of the nearly completed aircraft carrier USS Constellation at the New York Naval Shipyard; 50 civilian workers were killed.


In 1972, Apollo 17 splashed down in the Pacific, winding up the Apollo program of manned lunar landings.

In 2001, the fires that had burned beneath the ruins of the World Trade Center in New York City for the previous three months were declared extinguished except for a few scattered hot spots.

In 2002, Secretary of State Colin Powell declared Iraq in “material breach” of a U.N. disarmament resolution.

In 2003, design plans were unveiled for the signature skyscraper — a 1,776-foot glass tower — at the site of the World Trade Center in New York City.

In 2008, citing imminent danger to the national economy, President George W. Bush ordered an emergency bailout of the U.S. auto industry.

In 2011, North Korea announced the death two days earlier of leader Kim Jong Il; North Koreans marched by the thousands to mourn their “Dear Leader” while state media proclaimed his youngest son, Kim Jong Un, a “Great Successor.”

In 2016, a truck rammed into a crowded Christmas market in central Berlin, killing 12 people in an attack claimed by Islamic State. (The suspected attacker was killed in a police shootout four days later.) A Turkish policeman fatally shot Russian ambassador Andrei Karlov at a photo exhibit in Ankara. (The assailant was later killed in a police shootout.)

Ten years ago: Four State Department officials resigned under pressure, less than a day after a damning report blamed management failures for a lack of security at the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi, Libya, where militants killed the U.S. ambassador and three other Americans. Park Geun-hye (goon-hay), daughter of late South Korean President Park Chung-hee, was elected the country’s first female president.

Five years ago: A bus carrying cruise ship passengers on an excursion to Mayan ruins in southeastern Mexico flipped over on a narrow highway, killing 11 travelers and their guide and injuring about 20 others; eight Americans were among those killed. U.S. health officials approved the nation’s first gene therapy for an inherited disease, a treatment that improves the sight of patients with a rare form of blindness. David Wright, a Massachusetts man who was convicted of leading a plot inspired by the Islamic State to behead conservative blogger Pamela Geller, was sentenced in Boston to 28 years in prison.

One year ago: Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia said he could not support his party’s signature $2 trillion social and environment bill, dealing a seemingly fatal blow to President Joe Biden’s leading domestic initiative. (Congress would approve a smaller but still substantive compromise measure in August 2022.) The NHL and its players association temporarily clamped down on teams crossing the Canadian border and shut down operations of two more teams in hopes of salvaging the season as COVID-19 outbreaks spread across the league. Gabriel Boric, a leftist millennial who rose to prominence during anti-government protests, was elected Chile’s next president. Despite rising concerns over the omicron variant, “Spider-Man: No Way Home” achieved the third best opening of all time; studio estimates showed that the Sony and Marvel blockbuster grossed $253 million in ticket sales in North America.

Indeed, they definitely did not want for drama in this tournament. It delivered and then some.

Here's hoping they don't screw it up in 2026 when they expand to 48 teams. The group stage setup was perfect this time around, they need to figure out how to keep that intact in some form.

Just happen to be ones that I would be interested in.  I would have included Southern Draws, but prices weren't anything to brag about.

The first one is something that caught my eye, and seems to have good reviews on the interwebs. The second is:

You'll love this smashpack. Each sampler includes 10 cigars, 5 of each:

Romeo y Julieta Reserva Real Nicaragua Toro (6"x54)
La Aroma Mi Amor Duque (5.2"x56)

This is the marketing speak on the first one:

Put a band on this cigar, and you can expect to pay 6+ bucks for one of these normally. This gem hails from a Nicaraguan factory home to numerous sky high ratings and sought after blends. Packed with premium Nicaraguan long-fillers with a top grade authentic Cameroon wrapper. Complex but rich with earthy notes. Medium-bodied.

For $2 per, I was willing to take a shot.

Yup, worth a try, maybe you'll get lucky.

I have not been particularly excited about my experimentals as of late.

That usually translates to leftover stuff in those factories that wasn't good enough for all the sought after blends, but they didn't want to throw it away.

Sorry you had a bad time of it. So far it's been like cold symptoms. Been able to keep it at bay with combination of Mucinex-D and aspirin. I had a tele-visit with doctor this afternoon and he prescribed Paxlovid. Haven't picked it up yet so we'll see how that goes. Gotta work through it though because don't get paid for sick time.
