- There should be a category of Books ST Obsesses Over -- nm - Baron Enero Jan 3, 15:24
- I wonder if Cook Books or Self Help will be categories…travel? I guess my question is…Are the category based or all “story” related, in some ways? -- nm - Flavorize Jan 3, 15:03 1
  - I'm seen this done in many different ways, it helps to keep it a bit broad, to allow for tailoring to different reading taste. - ty97 Jan 3, 15:12
- Bill Finger better be one of the 50 -- nm - Peglegpete Jan 3, 15:02 1

- I've kept a lot to myself during the pandemic, but some of the stuff I've had to research and write about is soul-wearying. -- nm - The Allfather Jan 3, 14:56 2
  - ugh, I need to just....get away from it, take a break (I know that's not possible but I kinda slightly envy the people who are ignoring the pandemic) - ty97 Jan 3, 14:57 1
    - They may say that they are ignoring it, but no one is getting away from it wholesale. They're just filling it up with rage instead. -- nm - Qale Jan 3, 17:54
Wes, that sounds terrible. Best wishes to her and your family. - The Allfather Jan 3, 14:52 12
- Big hugs to your wife, you and your family. I hope she makes a full recovery very soon. very scary. -- nm - Pippy Jan 3, 15:16

  - thanks everyone. -- nm - groiny Jan 3, 15:09
- First, I wish her a full recovery from myocarditis. That is possible. Secondly, I wish her husband's looks would improve. She probably won't get that -- nm - crash davis Jan 3, 14:54 3
  - improve? - groiny Jan 3, 14:55 2
    - "please" is probably very accurate -- nm - crash davis Jan 3, 14:58 1
      - is that dogs barking I hear? -- nm - groiny Jan 3, 14:59
- thanks, she keeps trying to do stuff, but just can't for long. - groiny Jan 3, 14:54 3
  - What sort of symptoms does she have that keep her bedridden so much? -- nm - The Allfather Jan 3, 14:57 2
    - heart palpitations, feels like she has someone sitting on her chest, body weakness, dizziness. -- nm - groiny Jan 3, 14:58 1
      - It's tough and I just wish I had something else to say. Keep taking care of each other -- nm - con_carne Jan 3, 15:18
- this -- nm - Beaker Jan 3, 14:53
I know I'm keeping four. I'm thinking Michael Thomas as a potential #5, if one of my dead RBs comes back as a RB1, I might keep him. Then at that - crash davis Jan 3, 14:52 16
- I have 3 mortal lock keepers. After that it's going to depend on circumstances. - Baron Enero Jan 3, 15:31 3
  - What do you want for Javonte? -- nm - samara Jan 3, 16:44
  - If you have Javonte Williams, Gordon will be ejected (FA)—Javonte is the real deal -- nm - Flavorize Jan 3, 16:30
  - I mean, we're all acting like 30 guys won't go out for the season before next August. -- nm - The Allfather Jan 3, 16:00

  - I think we need a new rule: Ship teams get no draft! -- nm - Spawn Jan 3, 15:00 1
    - Go away!! 😘 -- nm - samara Jan 3, 15:16
- I figure I have between 8-11 keepers..but I'd trade with Truman if he wants to for one of his QBs -- nm - Beaker Jan 3, 14:55
- I feel like we're all getting bogged down in semantics. - The Allfather Jan 3, 14:54 7
  - We can be exactly on par with them if you just say, I get the option to make a call with your first round pick, which is the 6th option in that round. - Will Hunting Jan 3, 15:09 2
    - In a fixed roster world, there basically has to be another pick going the other way - Reagen Jan 3, 15:14 1
      - Right, which is the way it's always been. You make that call (Kelce and a 15) for a 3rd and 11th (keeper pick used) - Will Hunting Jan 3, 15:32
  - The range is I'm giving you my 1-6 pick (and whatever my keeper pick to keep him is) for an asset and a draft pick back. - Will Hunting Jan 3, 15:04
  - *blink* -- (edited) - znufrii Jan 3, 15:02
  - I'm fine with things, even if I am expressing them poorly. -- nm - crash davis Jan 3, 14:55 1
    - otoh smoked salmon is perfectly acceptable trade bait -- nm* - budice Jan 3, 14:56
