I even remember your old avatar. Now you are a moderator. Congrats.

No...but that is a great place to live too. A lot of people seem to cheat at golf from there but they are otherwise a ok! Is the professor still here.lol

Thanks....really nice to be back.

Close enough...there u go!!!!!

You sort of count too.

I recognize a lot of names. Good to be back.

Thanks Old Rambler. I meant every word. I don't want to hijack the thread but I so glad to hear from you.

For years when someone had a miscarriage I simply said to that person that "you will have another" or "Too bad". It didn't seem that big a deal because the child wasn't born. All that changed when my wife and I went through our first one. (Watch Marley and Me for an exact replay of it) It was an emotional sucker punch. I just couldn't believe it. I told my wife we would succeed at this if she wanted to do it and the next time we were a success. But I know the blues you have right now. In fact, my wife and I had two more miscarriages which was not what we were told the odds were. 3 miscarriages and one birth was the reverse of the rule. But we persisted and I would not trade the child I have for anything. I am sorry for your loss but remember the Balboa quote which I tell my son now: Nothing hits as hard as life...but it is not how hard you hit but how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward." You will have well meaning people say insensitive things in the near future. Nothing you cannot handle. You have handled the worst already. I just wanted you to know that you are not alone, others have been there and that I have thought about this off and on all day wondering how it would come out.

Been there. Hang tough and I will be thinking and praying for you and your wife.

Bibby said something like people who didn't believe in us can go to hades to paraphrase. Later he apologized. Laettner, not even close as villians go. Simon was a very good announcer this spring for the NCAA. Couldn't stand him in 97. Like I told two Arizona detectives bragging about the game when I was in court one day, I pointed out that we didn't have Anderson and Walker had gone to the pros. So take your two best players away (Bibby and Simon) and give us Walker and Anderson and see how close it is. My point was UK was so good that losing two great players and Zona having their team and the game goes to OT. Good recruiting.

Owsleyking, Professor, Gold Sunrise, known from the area. Bluto came to my swearing...seems to have forgetton.lol. There are others.

For those that don't know or might misinterpret it..."do all the GALS" means "do all the guardian ad litems" and is and could be taken the wrong way.

You have an incredible opportunity right now. Read "How to Start and Build Your Law Practice" and go it alone. Do all the GALs and warning orders you can, probates, divorces, etc. Anything you haven't done...get on Westlaw and get a new case and then call that Circuit Clerk and ask for a copy of the file which equals AUTOMATIC FORMS from A-Z and makes you look like a genius. Get your forms organized. FORMS, FORMS, FORMS. Six months is all you need and you have already done that. I started cold and asked questions for 6 months. You are ready and just don't know it. Like an eagle sitting on a nest. Time to fly. Best of luck to you.

This is a good point...there are so many you want to that it might be easier to pick one or two you WOULD NOT eat with. You know..like Professor or TTC. Just Kidding guys. Hello Old Rambler.

Mack the Knife so we could talk cinema. lol

I don't want to get anything started because this is a sincere question: What is wrong with Bilas? I just told my wife last night that Bilas was from Duke but he was one of my favorites and I read here people don't like him and he additionally isn't hired. What am I missing?

This is very true. I am surprised he came out of it. There was a factual basis for the negative opinion. But the 180 degree turn and against such competition. Like I said, the crow tastes good. In fact, I will be glad to eat more of it.

I am sorry Mike Hartline. I told my father at the beginning of the year..."he (Mike Hartline) has no arm strength and cannot run. Hartline will be pulled for another qb once the SEC starts and the big guys get hold of him." I was wrong. Even if he never completes a pass the rest of the year I never expected this kind of plaly out of him against these types of teams. I stand corrected.

One thing I took from this game different from others in the past was that UK did not blow a lead in the 4th quarter or the like. They came from behind. I could use countless examples; especially with TN. 3 and 1/2 quarters of a lead and lose it. But to come back and tie..I was at the game and it was a bloody mess....easy to give up on. I was proud of them. A top ten foe at that.

I have been kind of worried about this for myself. I mean going from a C to and A is quite a stretch. My first two years of college I had a 2.3 GPA and decided to buckle down and finished with a 3.5 my last two years. What if my law school goes back that accepted me initially and declares me ineligible retroactively? I know my high school teachers won't back me up because I had a C average there as well. I have already won some trials. Will they be forfeited? This could be bad. Whew! Glad I got that off my chest. lol

I will ask the question Dick Vitale posed to a tv audience on Derrick Rose: What coach wouldn't play Rose when he had been cleared by the NCAA to play college basketball? Can you imagine having him sitting on the bench, cleared to play and just sitting on the bench? It was very interesting question or two although I have been told a coach must know better; it still seemed to be a good question.

Glad to see from another thread this question has been answered positively. Good to see you back Old Rambler.

I have obviously missed some events during my time away.

I don't get on here as much as I used to but can anyone tell me how Old Rambler is doing?
