    Dude, you don't even want to know how much we spent...but it is space well utilized compared to what we had before.

      "The Rams REALLY wanted this Win...and it showed. With Stafford's Final Drive...regardless of what people may say that penalties gave the Rams the win...they still wanted it more."

      Why is this even an issue when the refs clearly gave the Bengals a 75 yard TD earlier? That's not even disputed in Cincinnatti. Just evened it out even if the Rams were helped at the end. The game is played for 60 minutes, not just the last 2.

        That doesn't take into account the Rams final drive came with under 6 minutes remaining in the 4th quarter.

        4th and 1 on the Rams side of the 30 yard line and the ball is handed off to Cooper Kupp to get the must needed 1st down. This helped continue the drive with successful passes and limited rushes.

        Plays inside the opposition's 20 yard line with less than 2 minutes are always scrutinized.

        Many teams have experienced calls that either benefit or put them at a disadvantage.

        The team with the disadvantage is still given a chance to overcome their situation...albeit, the chances for success are low...it's still a chance.

        There have been times where I felt the game was given away in the last 2 minutes (in this case I don't believe it was) and it was a disappointment that caused:

        "undue heartache"

        That is why I decided not to get to a point where sporting outcomes cause me any undue stress.

        I would have been happy for Cincy & Burrow being the first player to accomplish 3 milestones within the same amount of years:

        -Win a National Championship
        -Win the Heisman Trophy
        -Win a Super Bowl

        2 out of 3 is quite an accomplishment.

        Instead, it was (in a cliche') "A Team Effort" by the LA Rams FTW!

        That's how I'm going to remember this game.

          I'm going to (er...might) show mine, as we've just commissioned a new coffee bar/storage/pantry area for our apartment, and Ed's Kitchen has some similar elements. She has enough sense to know this isn't the right time for a complete overhaul.

            Here's the biggest section of backsplash seated. Tech is coming back tomorrow to grout and seat the other corners

              Sure had fun on Sunday. This little one made it really hard to watch the game though, LOL.

                Ed, that's a pretty snazzy place you've got. You'd definitely have to lower your standards to live in my neighborhood. LOL

                I'm working on a backsplash for a customer three block from my house. They wanted to keep the existing tile counter tops and 2" backsplash. Tile was ordered online from somewhere in Spain. With the relief in this tile I'll have to be careful with the grout. Maybe use a cake decorator type grout bag.

                  I just woke up from a post-colonoscopy nap.

                  Nice work Roger!

                  The guy doing the tile seating is over 65...he's doing a great job! A couple of tiles were out of alignment though...my son-in-law (currently studying to be an architect) spotted some tiles which weren't laying flush. When I pointed out, his explanation: sometimes the cement expands causing the tile to stick out. I told my SIL and he rolled his eyes and said, it was like the when he departed. lol

                  He came in today and fixed them...I also found a couple more spots on the corner backsplash. It's very tedious work and takes lots of patience. We are going to inspect VERY well because once it's done...it's DONE!

                  I'm trying to review the play from the Cincy side that many fans were upset was called just before Burrow got sacked. If it was the running play where Aaron Donald stopped the runner and caused a fourth down, that was Donald's best play to get around the offensive lineman and wrap his arms around the runner to prevent him from falling forward.

                    Yeah, that propofol is some knock out punch! I don't remember a thing from mine, but I was under the impression it was a one man job. So your son in law had his head up in there too? I've heard some sons in law are like that.

                    Out of alignment tiles...is that like internal shingles? All of a sudden, what I once heard in a restaurant now makes sense: "Give that man the soft chair...his tiles don't lay flush."

                    At least it happened in the off season! How soon can you get back to Sportsball training?

                      The lady who induced me called it a sedative. I just remember her saying, "sleep tight!" lol

                      Son-in-law is ready to move out, I'm sure. Daughter loves living at home keeping her mother happy (and me too). Both are going to school via "Zoom", SIL an Architectural Design Degree and our youngest daughter a "Vet Tech". It's great she is going to school and working part-time at the local Brandywine SPCA.

                      I didn't take a pic but you can imagine an uneven tile surface. No shingle problems for this guy (thank God!). I can't imagine what it's like going out to dinner with you, Rob! LOL

                      Here's this morning's start up job. He's fixing the tiles in question then grouting. Should be a 4hr job.

                        Backsplash completed!

                        Now, as for a week later from the SB, I'm seeing all these incidents involving players...like the girl who fell taking pics...now, Stafford is a jerk.

                        Burrow thought the Rams hired "The Rock" when he saw him intro-ing the game. I guess he liked his shoes.

                        Arnold is contemplating retirement and discussing with Rams Coach his expectations.

                        There's also a video of the speech Rams Coach gave the offense before their final drive.

                        Even Chris Collinsworth said the Rams final drive was historic.

                            I just installed sequential turn signals on my Tacoma TRD Sport.







                            We have a final payment for the backsplash completion. There's some tid-bits that need attention in our kitchen. I'll have to get with the field manager to get a date for completion.

                                Whatcha guys doing this weekend? It's my wife's bday tomorrow so we're going to Chincoteague, VA for overnighter. It's a quaint little town about 110 miles south of us. Famous for wild horses!

                                We've been before but just for just a day trip. Got my wife flowers again...remember it was Valentine's Day just a couple of weeks ago. Next month is our 32nd wedding anniversary...so it's a busy couple of months!

                                I still haven't cut off xFinity...but it's on my "To Do List". LOL
