This is a go around to the CA (and other states) no online sports betting laws. They call it predictions and skirt the laws. Mostly men are addicted to this stuff but it impacts entire families. It's no bueno no matter how you slice it.

I don't trust any of these guys. It's gambling. Period. End of sentence.

Amen. Especially for people only posting things like "sigh" and/or "wtf" without context.

I was cleaning out my mom's garage under her supervision when I came across about 100 Cool Whip containers.

"Ma, what are you saving these for?"

"Oh, when I die I want you to divide me up (her ashes, not her body) and bury them in the backyard."

Okey dokey!

No one is going to start that episode saying he "the type of guy to brighten up a room just by walking in." Just sayin. 🤣

I chuckled. Rarely do I chuckle during a football game. Just sayin. 🤣

That and asking your friends the age old question, "Who died this week?"

Wow, that Dandelion website is impressive. Beautiful chocolates.

Ha! No chocolate smell but she'd drive by the big Oroweat factory on the way home so we'd tell her she smelled like hamburger buns. As for the reject chocolates, one piece each night after dinner.

FYI, when I was a teen my mom worked in payroll at the Sees factory in South City. Every Friday, each employee went home with a 2 pound bag of reject chocolates. Best job ever!

Guittard is mostly a wholesaler. Their claim to fame is a Swiss process which allows the dried chocolate to appear shiny...which is what high end chocolatiers want.

🤣🤣🤣 re your Boston friends!

Guittard's history is interesting. They're a big deal in the world of chocolate. Sees is their biggest customer. The It's Its factory is in the same area. Yes, still here. San Mateo.

I didnt know anything about D.O. Mills or his legacy on the Peninsula. He practically own all the land which is now Millbrae. So many things named after him and his family and the developer (Trousdale) to whom he eventually sold his land.

This is one of those times where I love The Google Machine.

I grew up in South City in the 50s and 60s. I remember the cows on the west side of the 101 from San Bruno Avenue to Millbrae Avenue. The east side was always airport. Used to be called Mills Field.

This is what happens when no one can tell you "no."

Term/age limits for the Senate. Four terms (24 years) or 70 years of age. Then buh-bye.

Seriously impressive spread. Save me a piece of the coconut cream.

Wow! Just wow.
