Morning all.
I have been sucking massively on my practice tests and the most important test of my life is less than a month away. Basically, I want to go sit in a corner and cry...but that wont really help me pass the test. Confidence is not my strength.

Hopefully everyone has a great Friday!

So i've been having fun with my boss the last couple of days. Yesterday I tagged us both at a less than reputable strip club. That got a few replies. Today I tagged us both in Vegas. So many people have liked it and replied, even his sister! I even had a buddy call and tell me his was at the Venetian and was cashing out to come meet me. I told him it was just a joke, that I was still at work in Cedar Rapids. Well I just checked us in at the Moonlite Bunny Ranch. I don't think my boss knows yet.

[MENTION=10405]Hawk8[/MENTION] - Would you do me a small favor and look at your season tickets and let me know which game's ticket stub Mark Grace is on? I believe you told me he is on one stub this year. Was Dawson on any? What do the stubs look like this year - I heard they have "artwork" on them, not cards like last two years.

You going to the 4/23 Wrigley 100th Anniversary game? I got my ticket sent to me today. [MENTION=2520]ChasHawk[/MENTION] - you still thinking about going to that game?

Someone may just become unemployed soon. I would stop this if I was you. :lol:

I can't bring myself to actually purchase tickets for this single A team they have assembled. I live right near the Kane County Cougars, and can watch a single A team for cheaper. It just seems like it will be a 100 lose season for the 100th season too.

I get off work late tonight but I will let you know which one he is on. Dawson is on two ticket stubs, I remember one is the 89 magazine cover of him and Dunston hugging at home plate and I can't remember the other off hand. The Grace is also a magazine cover if I remember correctly. The tickets are mostly magazine or scorecard covers from different decades. Each decade has it's own set if tickets. I will take a picture of all the tickets and post them so everyone can see them. I have listed all my tickets through August so far on stub hub, most of them under face value and I had already sold the 100th anniversary game tickets by just a few hours when I had seen Charlie's request, hope he finds some more.

If you look on stubhub, a lot of middle of the week games against lesser opponents are going very cheap. I plan on driving up to Chicago the first of June right after I leave the Tri Star card show in Houston and catching games that week.

Good afternoon. Colonoscopy completed and all clear. Celebrated with 2 Dunkin' Donuts/stomach not quite ready for coffee yet.

Did you have a endoscopy as well. It's where they go look into your stomach. And hope fully before they go up the back way :lol: But your out so you will really never know.
I had both done at the same time when I had my Hersey highway probe. :p

Interesting. Maybe I'll just have to see if I can save some money :lol: and which games you coming up for. I live about 1 hour from the park.

I don't know what the mark up on stub hub is but I have some games on there for $7 and $9 so they are probably about $12 to the buyer. I will be hitting the Tri Star show in Houston either may 30 or 31 depending on my work schedule, most likely the 31st and I will be leaving straight from there to Chicago so I should be there on June 1st and depending on game time on the 1st I plan on catching the games the 1st-6th

Mail day from [MENTION=2055]metallicalex777[/MENTION]

All three cards are for a new auto PC, in which I am identifying past, present and future stars to add to it. I am going to focus on the past and present stars first, but I couldn't pass on these beauties! One could argue Bundy being a star or not, but he grew up an hour from here.

GOod morning, guys. You all sleeping late or was the board down?

Alarm was set for 3:10 am. Went off, but there was no music. So, lucky me, I woke up a hair before 6 am and was late for work (by my standards) by 2 hours and by an hour by what the schedule says. Not a good day as that's two lost hours of wages.
