gdm8888Almost on scholarshipPost #522MyFanPageAdd BuddyIgnore OT: Dog ACL Tear Reply --------------------------------------------------------------------------------Anyone have any advice on handling a dog ACL tear or advice for where to get it done in KC? Vet told us that our 3.5 year old husky/shepherd mix tore her ACL. Surgery is going to run about $3500 at the orthopedic surgeon here in OP. Didn't know if anyone knew of anywhere else or costs? We have yet to talk to the KSU vet school but intend to do that soon. Thanks.
Quotegitrdone!Post #7354MyFanPageSpent four hours in Lawrence on Sun at Christmas home tourWife and I drove over from Man wanting to do a Christmas themed activity. We tend to enjoy Christmas home tours and thought we would drive over to Lawrence to try theirs this year (Yes, I'm a tuck). Well, I should have know better. The first stop was in a retirement community appartment. It was a one bedroom small appartment for a single elderly person. Very nice lady but it wasn't what we had expected. We stepped in the front door and it took 30 seconds to see the whole place. Next stop was a renovated warehouse "rent controlled complex for artists". It also was a one room loft overlooking a parking lot. Not what we had expected on a "homes" tour. There were several nice homes but ALL had jayhawks everywhere. There was definitely an "attitude" by many people we encountered. The artists colony rent controlled place was so "KU-esk" it was annoying. We ate lunch in a downtown bakery and there were angry looking longhaired types everywhere. We left Lawrence and drove to Leavenworth for their historic home Christmas tour which was awesome. I learned to never assume you will enjoy yourself in Lawrence. It really is a very different environment than Manhattan. Felt like a communist foreign country.

I'm watching "Funny Girl" with the wife and I find myself attracted to Babs. Smh.
Earlier today I met five buddies for lunch in a big sports bar in Williamsburg, Virginia. We are all former federal investigators and all are Vietnam combat vets. One, an African American, is a former pole vaulter at Oregon, and all of us played organized sports at some level. While enjoying beer and steaks, Arizona and Michigan were playing basketball, while alongside a re-run of Ohio State and Michigan State was airing. I couldn't help but notice that all of us were mostly paying attention to a football game wherein the the outcome was known rather than a basketball game involving the country's top collegiate team; so I conducted an informal poll as to who routinely (often) watches basketball, college or pro? Not a single hand went up; nor did I raise mine.As background, I went to KSU in the late 60's, and Jack Hartman was our coach. In four years, I did not miss a single game where I could help it, and afterwards I closely followed the career of Lon Kruger. Then, imperceptibly, I found that I did not care as much anymore about basketball, and although I read the morning paper (wherever ) to see how my school was doing on the hardwoods, it did not pain me to see the 'Cats lose as much as if it was a football game--when a loss could send me into a deep funk. Now, why do some guys of my generation often shun watching basketball--especially pro ball? My non-empircal study today reflects that most of us feel the team-centered, play-by -the-rules basketball we knew and played in our youth has morphed into something else altogether. And although I can't quite put my finger on the precise reasons for our ambivalence, most of us believe that individual "hot-doggism" today has taken over in some corners. Further, there are too many renegade coaches who specialize in exhibiting gross behavioral conduct that of course leads to rude and obnoxious behavior in their players. ("Character and fair play be damed; let's win this f...... ball game.")So after reading the above, you might ask this old and proud K-Stater, "Well, now what did you think of Frank Martin?" Easy answer, in three parts... I still can't believe he was hired at Kansas State. I am thrilled he is gone. And I sincerely hope his like never again darkens our doorstep.And best wishes to Coach oscar Weber and his young team. A gentleman is now back at the helm, and I'm again watching K-State basketball.
i don't think i've ever heard the phrase "darken our doorstep" before

in the end, EMAW will always win.
Sprint center is a dump compared to other venue's which includes parking, easy access, eating places, etc.. Downtown kc in missouri is and always will be a dump next to a part of the city which is dangerous to even drive thru. Better venue's are available. kc won't see my money at anytime. The only reason sprint was built downtown was the kc star and their self greed and their need to support their greed on the taxpayers of that area.
