The Kitchen Table

Big day for the Big 10!!

9 years ago

I am a Wisconsin Badgers fanatic, since both of my kids are alums and were in the marching band. We went to the magical city of Pasadena and the Rose bowl 3 times, all losses. But I still had the best time all three times. Then lost last year to SC. So this win against Auburn was mighty sweet, especially after being decimated by Ohio State in the Big 10 champ game.

Michigan State and Ohio State also won, with Ohio State on to the inaugural national championship game. Congrats to all the winners, and to the losers--you have nothing to be ashamed of. All of the games were exciting and great fun, which is what sports are supposed to be.

75% of FSU's players walked off the field without shaking hands.
They should be ashamed. I was ecstatic watching the Ducks
annihilate FSU. I wonder what FSU will have to say about
Winston now that he's gone.
Fun to watch Ohio State beat the so-called #1 team.
However, I think TCU or Baylor should have been #4.
The "committee" had too much latitude in their selection
process. The choices were too subjective.
Go Ducks!!

I'm happy for OSU for it's victory over Alabama yesterday. My team, Penn State, is in the Big Ten. If they couldn't win the championship, I'm happy that another member of the Big Ten has a chance. Looks like it's a NE team against a NW team in the Championship game.

Are two 10.5 inch pendants too big for a 58" peninsula?
Q

I don't think so -- you are filling 21" out of 58", so it's roughly 1/3 pendants - 2/3 open space, but you are the one who needs to be satisfied. When uncetain, a mock-up helps (my DH needs them for everything) -- get a paper plate or cut out a similar sized circle from poste rboard, tape some string to it, mark the height of the pendant, (make 2 if you need to)then tape to the ceiling and stand back. Looks like the shade is semi-transparent and light in color, so the aren't going to be a very strong presence. That let's you go a little larger than if they were dark, very heavy or bright colored.

How big of a range top for a 10 feet island?

aaaand I don’t even have a fan over the stovetop....eeek ....how have I managed to live ...happily...like this..... for 19 years?. And I'm guessing that if you actually cleaned your ceiling you'd find it is not quite as clean as you think. When I moved into my NY place the previous owners did lots of stir fry cooking with an inadequate hood. And this is with a stove against the wall. It took me over 2 weeks of daily scrubbing to get the grease off the tops of the cabinets, the walls, under the cabinets, etc, yet at first glance the place looked clean. There's a very good chance that the range you grew up with, and the one you're using now, have nowhere near the power of a BlueStar. Agreed!

Be sure to follow through on all the physically therapy after the knee replacement. Its going to be a bore and some pain when the therapist flexes the joint to increase its range of motion. This part is absolutely necessary if you are to arrive at a fully functioning joint. The first week is the worst where you lay around and for several hours per day with your leg in a machine that slowly flexes the joint. On the plus side, you'll catch up on a number of TV shows. It could be a good time to rent movies or have Netflix. You could read all those books that you might get to someday. That someday has arrived! (My wife has had both knee joints replaced one at a time and 2 years apart.) By the way, my wife knee joints were replaced 10 yrs ago and are trouble free. She has been happy with the results. Today, she rarely thinks about those joints.

That was sad, Linda. Very poor sportsmanship. But you could also say that some of the Duck players were poor sports with their taunting Winston with the "no means no" chant.

Yup, lot's of kinks to work out in the playoff system, that's for sure.

Not only was it great for the Big Ten, but the SEC got pelted around but good. Nice to have some of that SEC smack talk toned down just a bit, if only for a little while.

The state of Alabama is in mourning, lol. Those were great games to watch, and congrats to the winning teams. I went to bed before the Ohio v. Alabama was over, sad that Ohio wasn't going to win. Robert left me a note to see first thing in the morning..."OHIO WON!"
