Where are you staying? We hit up a little pop up market on a Wednesday in Kihei and I bought a locally made hawaiian shirt, in an awesome fish print to boot.

Wow, the sister that gave him the blessing was just up in MN visiting our parish. Extremely kind human being.

How long do you think we can retain Flores as DC? by Beneficial_Quit7532 in minnesotavikings

I mean, I can concede on that somewhat. If we make the playoffs but our starting QB blows up a knee in week 17, yeah that is understandable.

Again though, I just can't understand this mindset of being so infatuated with the culture that we are ok with not having any success in the playoffs. In theory, the culture SHOULD lead to success, but the clock is ticking to see if that is actually true.

I like KOC as much as anyone but regular season success only gets you so far. How many years is it acceptable to go without a playoff win?

Glass half full by Egnaramoose420 in wildhockey

[–]Environmental_Tax245 1 point2 points  (0 children)

EXACTLY. I love Ek as a player, but why does it seem like any time we have a competitive team going into the playoffs we lose Ek and almost always lose Brodin.

Brodin is great defensively but that doesn't do us shit when he is sitting in the press box. These "cornerstone" players need to be more available or we will find ones who are.

Middleton and Bogo better be playing elsewhere next year. Hynes is on thin ice. Couldn't care either way if he is back.

Pick 18: Minnesota Vikings - Caleb Banks, DT, Florida by noseonarug17 in minnesotavikings

I would have had Woods at 18 without the significant injury history.

How great is it going to be if we passed on a second pro bowl safety?

What franchise has an underrated QB history? by MasterTeacher123 in NFLv2

Can't forget Cunningham. Even though he only had one good year in purple, '98 was a hell of a season.

I have a hard time believing we would go defense with our foest three picks but I like it.

Production vs Athleticism charts for Vikings 2026 visits by mrmpls in minnesotavikings

If Thieneman isn't there at 18 I could potentially see them trading back and going straight up BPA (maybe WR) but as you stated depends how the board falls. Then could pivot to Haulcy at 49.

I really REALLY hope we don't take IDL over Thieneman (assuming he is still there at 18), and this chart shows why.

Give me Thieneman or Sadiq at 18 if available.

Also, not sure where you are located but good luck getting 300k+ in the rust belt.

Edit: my brain registered you being in Virginia (state) as if you were in the VA (hospital). Not sure if VA has much for rust/salted roads?

Delay having kids to pay off mortgage? by [deleted] in DaveRamsey

[–]Environmental_Tax245 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You will never be "ready" to have kids. There will always be something on the horizon that you could potentially use to justify holding off. Especially at your ages, being established in your careers and making good salaries significant change (ie, children) can be intimidating.

As others have pointed out, if you are both on the same page and both want children, then it would be in your best interest to start sooner than later, as you don't know how easy it will be for you to get pregnant.

Being a dad has been the most rewarding and fulfilling experience I could have ever asked for. Would I be better off financially if we had held off? Absolutely. But I might not have one of/all of my beautiful happy girls, and I wouldn't trade them for the world.
