The depth of the Stars is unbelievable. They are not afraid to throw out the 4th line, and that 4th line can even score. Nothing better than playoff hockey.

Stars figured it out in the 3rd. I was seriously nervous after the 2nd. McDavid-Draisaitl together is lethal.

You better hope the Stars figure out how to better handle the puck pressure by the Oilers. Dallas is lucky it’s still tied right now.

Had to revive anything related to this topic. I have the app 7 Little Words that I play daily. One of today’s clues was “North American Lizards.” I immediately spotted the puzzle pieces that spelled out “Iguanas.” Guess who I thought of?

I have never bothered with buying sweaters with a name or number, as the player invariably gets traded or signs elsewhere as a free agent. Now, if you had said a Claude Lemieux Stars sweater, we’d have a problem My favorite sweater? There was no option for a blank, but there is no name.

I audibly laughed out loud at the Russ Courtnall sweater. Not many on here will get it.

I once was stuck with the back row against the wall (no window) with the engine just on the other side of the wall in front of the bathroom…..from Newark to DFW. Absolutely miserable.

Trust me….you’ll survive without the inter webs. Enjoy your vacation..

I generally shy away from the frozen drinks, as they're too watered down. That looks like a good-sized shot of rum in it, so I might enjoy that one. If that's the ONLY rum in it, then not worth my while.

I don't drink coffee, so IDK.

The waiting is almost like waiting for someone's luggage to be found. IYKYK

Enjoy the cruise, @sid_9169. There hasn't been a vacation where I haven't just shut off the phone and put it in the safe for the duration. I get enough stinkin calls, emails and texts while not on vacation (nights/weekends included), so I just shut it down. I always leave instructions with the family on which number to call at Carnival, along with my stateroom number, in the event there's an emergency.

Right? I asked the attendant if those were really slot machines that paid out money. He simply smirked and shrugged. One of the ladies in our bowling league told me about another Shell station in the area close to my house that also has slots. She should know, because she regularly drives up to Choctaw for a few hours, including after we finish bowling at 9 on Friday nights.

Oddly, I walked into a Valero gas station here in the DFW area today, and saw 4 slot machines with an ashtray with a snuffed out cigarette in it. Nope, it wasn’t closed off from the rest of the store - it was right in the middle.

That’s a rather boring beer list, only to be salvaged by there being Fireball on the menu.

You have quite the way with words. Deep, contemplative, reflective thoughts put to "paper."

I'm here on the first page!

Didn’t you say something about VERY little sleep? Add the weather delays that you’ve had to deal with on top of little sleep, and, well, parenting. There’s the perfect storm if you have to deal with the rare travel industry. You’ll come through this.

You also like when people don’t waste food.

Fried alligator bites, jambalaya and key lime pie along with whatever IPA’s they have. Teachable moment for the kiddos if they ask.

Wow. What an early start. Not surprising that the kids couldn’t sleep in the car with all their excitement. Enjoy the trip!

I would like to think that they saw themselves like the rest of us saw them and realized that it wasn’t a good look. I doubt it, though, because his arrogance won’t allow it.

Seriously applying? That would be so cool if you made it. If there was anyone on any of TAR seasons as condescending towards their “partner” as Vinny was towards Amber, I’d be surprised. Can’t believe she puts up with his air of superiority.

Here we go.

I haven't had a chance due to my volunteering at the PGA tournament last week, but I'm following now. Does Billy D. Washington (I'm a big fan of his shows) have a twin, because that looks just like him.
