Which of our teams will have the largest margin of defeat, hoops or baseball?

We might be ahead if we would have kept those runners on first. Who did the scouting on their catcher?

have had mail in my mailbox that was wrong. I stick it the right mailbox

As a USPS worker, this is frustrating. When a customer says something like “I can’t count the times I receive someone else’s mail in my box.” My response is, I’m sorry that has happened, but I have never heard any complaints about misdelivered mail at this address.” Then the customer says they deliver it to right mailbox themselves. That’s when I let them know if the customer is fixing the problem without our knowledge, we don’t know that a problem ever existed.

How stressful is the work? Just wondering because of the saying "going postal" .

It can be stressful at times, no different than many other jobs. Much easier if you are able to stay focused. Life on the carrier’s flight deck taught me to stay focused, so that’s something I do well.
Late trucks (whether those are USPS or Amazon) have the greatest negative impact on us in our day to day work, and can cause a good day to suddenly suck really quick.
The “going postal” term is a crock. Multiple studies over the years have shown postal workers do not have more of a propensity for committing violent acts than any other workers in the US.

I worked the flight deck of an aircraft carrier and now have two decades of employment with USPS behind me.
It’s no different than thousands of other places of employment. There are good and bad workers and there are some not as intelligent as others in our 600k + workforce.

Wish the ASU starter hadn’t been injured. It was a pitcher’s duel before he left the game.

re: What is the most famous crime/murder in your area?

Megan Sharpton murder. Not wildly famous, but happened in my hometown and I was a classmate of her mother. I believe Oxygen and a few others did docs on her case. She was sweet girl just beginning to figure her life out, would have been a great nurse just like Holly Bobo.

I haven’t seen official stats but it wouldn’t surprise me. Our basketball defense is as bad as football’s. It’s like our football defense makes every opposing qb look like a Heisman candidate.

I’ve always been a fan of Sade, a Knoxville record store manager introduced me to her when she was debuting her first album.
Never have liked Billy Idol. If his songs ever come on, I change the station.
My first wife was a groupie for the Black Crowes, so never liked them either, lol.

Yeah, I live in middle TN and it was all over the news for quite some time.
Damn shame. Probably would have made a great nurse. I didn’t know her but have a life long friend from Parsons that knew her family. Good people from what she told me.

Traded my BMW for a Mazda in 2011. I’ll never drive anything but Mazda again as long as they stay focused on a quality product.

I’m old enough to remember seeing Jeff Malone play and thought the very same thing. SEC POY as a senior and Coach Boyd said our best chances of winning were just letting Jeff shoot as much as he could.
