  1. Repost from a few pages back. Get one of these. It does not do the job end to end if it's a messy one, but it is a great finisher and will leave you spic and span. A few blots with some tp, then sit down, scoot all the way forward, slip the wand behind you and press. I have 2 of them in case I want a refill and don't want to waddle to the sink but a glass of water works just as well. I have the non battery one, as well but I prefer this. It's a more compact, consistent stream to make sure you can target the proper areas. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0881LFY6G?tag=travelandleisure-onsite-prod-20&linkCode=ogi&th=1&psc=1&ascsubtag=5432062|n9f77c5df3da8467cb1d4bacf9076cd6419|B0881LFY6G|1676487636062|
  2. Yes. I need to get off the internet. Emotional.
  3. And then there's the writer and editors at the NYT who thought this would be a great time to drag our name through the mud again and bring up Larry Nassar. Not providing a link.
  4. Listening to the scanner it's pretty easy to understand how these rumors spread. I might have said it upthread. You've got tens of thousands of people sheltering in place not knowing what is going on and reporting every little thing they think they are and hear to authorities. Those reports go out over the scanner and then random idiots who don't understand what is going on jump on TikTok and Twitter reporting that shots have been fired at Hubbard Hall. You've got Susie in Cedar Village reporting that there is yelling in the hallway and she thinks she sees a gun and that goes out over the scanner and it just continues to snowball. That said it was pretty clear what was going down when they found the shooter and he shot himself. Still a ton of questions. Random Lansing resident decides to go shoot up campus??
  5. Thankful that it is over. Now I can shift to the grieving for families and exploring local ties phase of things. Then I can proceed to the outage phase of things, before finally progressing to the I give up, this is never going to change phase, and finally succumbing to the fingers crossed, just hope it's not my kids phase. Love you Michigan State. I'd say prayers if it weren't utterly fucking worthless.
  6. Shot himself as officers approached. A mile or so from campus. Multiple weapons and magazines recovered. No pulse. Lake Lansing and Larch
  7. Something seems to be happening. Shots fired near meridian Township as officers approached someone matching suspects description.
  8. https://twitter.com/msupolice/status/1625353241528500224?s=20&t=_TcjVfLnYhfx1cOYidD-Aw
  9. There is a river on campus, woods, farms. It's like the size of Pflugerville.
  10. This does not sound like a multiple shooter situation. It is one shooter moving around a massive campus on foot and multiple panicked people barricading and calling into dispatch reporting sounds from all corners of campus and the greater Lansing area that ultimately get checked out and deemed to not be gunfire. Thus far only two confirmed shooting sites on campus over the past 90 minutes or so.
  11. I've been listening for like an hour. Jesus this is a nightmare with the size of campus.
  12. Looks like the Dubs accepted the trade. Wiseman should make his debut Wednesday against Boston. Glove Jr to be revaluated in a month.
  13. I solved the not wanting to waste a day dilemma by changing our flights and staying another night. Now I need to load the boy up on Dramamine and do some more reading about doing the Road backwards.
  14. are you saying he should get a tattoo of Roy Orbison on his ass?
  15. This freaks me the fuck out. Friend of a friend who I used to golf with met his end on the exterior of a CVS when an elderly woman hit the gas instead of the brake as he was crossing in front of her car. I am on high alert in parking lots now esp if kids are with me. I walk in the middle of the aisle. Sorry not sorry.
  16. Not so fast my friend, haha. I've talked to Ishbia on a few occasions. He coaches/coached his kid's flag team in the same league my kid has been in and I have coached in. Pretty normal billionaire. The games were at Detroit Country Day, which is a pretty high end neighborhood, but I think Mat was the only coach driving a white Ferrari. It was also pretty nice that when the league couldn't use the HS field for one of the game days, Ishbia stepped in with a solution and it was announced that the games for that week were moved to another location . At least I presume it was him, I did not discuss it with him.
  17. Klay is back. At least on one end of the floor.
  18. @Burt You should have started this in the food and travel forum. You would get more replies. @immamac move it maybe? I already perused your Chewbacca goes to Waikiki thread but maybe there are some fresh tips.
  19. I was at a football game where Barry Sanders went over 2k yards and it's been a minute but if I recall correctly he went over on like a two yard run, they stopped the game and gave him the ball, the crowd have a standing O etc. Then they started the game again and he lost 4 yards on the next play. No one was sure what to do. Then a couple of plays later he broke a 60 yarder. Also the game where Reggie Brown almost died on the field. Weird game to witness. Last night they told us about 20x they were going to stop the game unless it was within 3 and under a minute so not sure why anyone was surprised.
  20. I actually have not heard this. Do you have a link for more detail? The two companies are sniping again in the news. Saw a blurb about Rocket calling Ishbia a bully but it's behind a paywall.
  21. It was a no. She actually did look into it, instead of just laughing at me.
  22. It's the Skymiles Platinum. Offer available to everyone. I am going to call what's the worst that can happen. I'll update the thread from prison if I have Internet access.
  23. Screamin A is hearing Brooklyn is talking with Boston about a KD/JB centered package.
  24. I signed up for the Amex I think Platinum a few weeks ago. I believe it was a 50k bonus if you spend $X in Y months. My question is, I see they are now offering a 90k bonus for the same card. If I call them up any chance I can get them to upgrade me to the better bonus?
