I'd venture a guess that someone reported the poster. I noticed that another one of the Union posters has received a vacation from the site.

Probably because we burn through these so quickly that it's more memory efficient to have one tLodge thread.

Say, this is nice.
It is amazing how HokyDad disappears when Union loses and shows up when they win. I have the hardest time understanding why he has not been banished from USCHO. Ever since he attacked Luke Curadi while he was still in the USHL, he has posted nothing positive about RPI. Granted that there are negatives about RPI's program, but even Mussolini got the trains to run on time.
That's only because HokyDope won't stay off the PC thread. Zlax's absurd anti-Gillies' comments seem to have attracted him. I'll take his insanity if it means PC keeps winning.

Awesome. Congratulations to the Beavers! Great tourney. At least your guys won something.
You must not watch him often, that's how he always is. I long for Wally and Frank. Although they are just as, if not more, homerific.
HHT. Eat **** cow turds. I care about a few of your fans but the rest of you can eat ****. Arrogant ***hole fans. This is our state.
For those of you that watched the game......I think Doug McLeod was hammered tonight.

Surprisingly I feel great today.
I was at a disadvantage since I was drinking heavily at the Beer Dabbler for several hours before making it to Brent's. Oh well, it was a good night, and I had a great time.
Went for lunch at local place...BBQ. Just a really cool place. A straight up dive that we found out makes everything from scratch, including smoking all their own meats. The brisket was amazing, as were the ribs. We had homemade mac and cheese bites for an app, and they were great too. Brought desert home, maple bacon cheesecake. We are already planning our next trip there, probably Friday night for the meat raffle.

Cheer up, the worst is yet to come
At the end of the day BSU is still a below average team but maybe they finally figured something out.....
I am very familiar with McLeod. Last night be was off. He referenced BSU as the Mavericks and vice versa numerous times. BSU was on the power play and he referenced them as having an outstanding pk. I know it's difficult to call games for teams you are unfamiliar with but still........had to be the booze and or the fact that he was to preoccupied with the ledge of the cliff he was standing on with the rest of rodent nation.

Flu vaccine is 70% effective even if they hit right. You may not get total prevention but you most likely won't be as sick as you potentially could be- shorter duration, less intense sx. If you feel sick that doesn't seem much but if you got the real deal then you would be thankful to have the mild version. There is some indication that even the wrong vaccination may boost immunity a bit.
My theory (anecdotal, not research supported) is- a) people go to get flu shot at 'clinics' where tons of people show up at once- great germ pool. They catch stuff there and then complain they got sick from the shot. b) It is physically impossible to catch flu from the shot- it is a dead virus. It does challenge the immune system. If you are sick or are getting sick when you get the flu shot you are toast. Once you catch one thing you are behind the 8 ball.
We don't make a lot off the flu shot in my office. State supplies some. We make diddly on the rest. Strain on the office resources. Definitely not viewed as a revenue generator in my place. Some insurances don't even cover it at the office but make people go to a pharmacy (great continuity of care there! they penalize us if the person doesn't get it but they won't let us give it
)
We try to keep people out of the office- testing for flu is very time consuming- holds up a room for 15 minutes and then it needs to be swabbed down. We do not have Tamiful here despite that jacka55 Dr Richard Besser telling people their Drs aren't doing their job if they don't treat. No availability at all. And, despite all the ads it is not recommended unless the person would be at risk or have someone in their home who is at risk. Otherwise- NO TAMIFULU!!!!!11!!!1!! So add another 5-10 minutes telling people the TV has misinformed them and still have people believe we are withholding care because we get our jollies out of it somehow. Total room time before it can be used again at least 30 minutes. No revenue there.
You would be shocked how many people insist it is their right to come be checked when they think they have the flu. It is astonishing how many people don't know the basics of self care- take Tylenol, hydrate, go to bed. Even if they do know that, it is our job to make it go away with some type of magic. They keep calling triage a couple of times a day because godamit they (or their kid) don't have time to be sick so we have to fix it. Noooo revenue there either. Unlike lawyers we can't charge for phone advice and if we follow CDC guidelines we take a huge hit on resources with no income generated at all. Unless there is a comorbidity that increases risk they should not be seen. But of course they are special and they call the insurance company to complain when they are told to stay at home. Then they complain when they pay the co-pay and we don't treat them with the unavailable drug.
(NO strong opinions here at all!!) Phew. That felt really good. I get really aggravated between the entitled people and the TV people setting false expectations. ((It appears I have regained enough energy to type))
We don't always have one strain of flu per season. A few yrs ago we had the H1N1 and then the originally predicted one. We had 2 waves here that yr that overlapped each other.

Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #173: (Insert Title)
We're gonna get whatever we get... can't stop it; can't do nothin' about it except sit and wait. I expect the local weather reports tomorrow morning to be preparing for the end of the world...
This morning started with maybe a blizzard. This afternoon was major blizzard with 1 to 2 feet of snow. Now it's anyone's guess... 20"... 30"... who knows? The hype is unbelievable... talk about working everyone up into a frenzy.

Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #173: (Insert Title)
Ours are already going for the end of the world. Why wait until tomorrow?
Scott K who UML fan, resident weather guru, says this is the real deal. Sounds like the wind is going to be the thing that makes it really nuts. Praying for all those who are homeless. My cousin's ex died by freezing to death after not making it into a shelter. Every time we have weather like this I think of him

It's snowing in pit now. But I think we are in the 1-3" band, not feet.

Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #173: (Insert Title)
I am not assuming anything with regards to whether or not I will have to work on Tuesday. I just hope it doesn't start till after I get home. I want to move my car into the MBTA garage across the street. I also have my parents' car to move as well. Talk about timing, they're flying to Florida tomorrow morning.
I've heard that it could be one of the top 5 storms for snowfall in history. Then I heard 16-24". That's not epic. So, no idea what to expect. I would imagine that if the MBTA announces it is shutting down, we'll probably close.

We are supposed to get a mix of rain and snow with about 2" of snow. Typical for here, they really aren't sure.
