In the Awesome thread, Ghost mentioned re-reading my dad's World War II memoir over Memorial Day. Others chimed in with some kind words. Thanks again. "Pappy" is the name my dad gave to his best friend during the war. My dad called him a hero for taking him under his wing and mentoring him from the start, protecting him.

Okay, so this came up in the Complaint Thursdays thread this week and since a lot of you seem to know your alcohol, figured I'd ask this here. I'm primarily a vodka drinker; I enjoy the clean taste and versatility in mixing, but I'm a little bored with it. I also enjoy light rum in a mojito during warmer weather, but I'd like to try whiskey or scotch. So what I'm hoping you guys might be able to help me with is: just how does one begin drinking whiskey or scotch? I'd eventually like to get to... Читать дальше...

Your Sabres roll back in action tonight against the Blues of St. Louis.

In fake news today, it was reported that Jason Botterill had a talk with some of the team and told them that if they can beat St. Louis tonight it will make the Blues want to acquire Kane in a trade that much faster.

Other headlines from around the league:

The NHL has announced that NHL.tv single team packages featuring the Sabres are free for the remainder of the year. Читать дальше...

I'll start it off with baseball playoffs beginning tomorrow! I hate the idea of one-game series as too chancy, but I love the idea for the tension and excitement.

I have a very extensive music collection and I tend to build playlists from the Library to discover lost tracks or simply to have some fun. I’ve done New Wave, British Invasion, Ladies Names, One Word Titles, Colors, Funk It Up and even Days of the Week. I’m now building a best of the best rock/pop playlist. My goal is to choose 1 song from most of the best bands/artists from the 60s, 70’s, 80’s and 90’s with a couple of other great songs thrown in from lesser acts.

Let's discuss favorite beers.

I'll start off by labeling myself a beer geek, NOT a beer snob. That will be evident early in this post. I cannot pick a favorite beer. I can't even pick a favorite style of beer. There are so many varieties that it would take a lifetime to acquire and sample them all. And I am doing my damndest to try. I'll start by saying what I don't like. I don't like fruit flavored beers. Well, *most* styles of them anyway. There are a few Belgian styles that use fruit that I enjoy. Читать дальше...

WATCH | HC Chris Taylor announces captain and assistant captains for the upcoming 2017-18 season.

Since we have a hit thread about complaints, I thought maybe we could have a thread for Fridays where we reflect on good things, positive moments, rave about a restaurant, new additions to your family, etc.

I guess my initial rave would be:

Fridays, for many of us, are the end of the work week - which is great! For others, Friday is also payday!
