    Smoking ban at ISU

    Yes, you seem to be full of tolerance and love towards others. :biglaugh: By the way, where was I whining about anything? I was just saying that if smokers want to kill themselves off 10-20 years ahead of nature, who am I to stand in their way? That's not whining, it's just wishful thinking...

    Smoking ban at ISU

    So it will increase the danger of secondhand smoke to someone who already is exposed to firsthand smoke? Does that mean it will just kill off smokers faster? Sounds good to me.

    Football Season Tickets Split

    The first person would get credit for their donation amount and ticket purchase, the second would only get credit for their donation amount. This would be a pretty worthless setup, BTW. If there are two of you that are donating and splitting tickets, you might as well just donate at the same...

    Building a Fence

    Correct. They will not actually locate the property lines for you, but they should be able to provide you with a plat map of the area or subdivision. Another possible solution would be to check with your local post office. I know when we built our house in Johnston, the post office had a...

    Building a Fence

    Your city's Building Department should be able to provide you with a plat map that would show the dimensions of the property.

    Recruit this Guy

    Reminds me of that McDonald's commercial back in the 90's with Bird and Jordan playing horse. "Off the wall, over the rafters, through the window....... nothing but net."

    Building a Fence

    The link I attached lists the fence requirements in Johnston, so I would assume the city of Des Moines would be something similar. http://www.cityofjohnston.com/docs/documents/Fence%20Regs_Johnston%2005-17-07.pdf

    Gene Chizik Does Not Laugh

    This shirt is a much cooler idea than the "Bo-lieve" shirts that Nebraska has come up with. Good grief, how lame.

    NU's Cody Glen to LB

    I agree. The Huskers have some decent players on the DL, but absolutely nothing at LB. I think they are just looking for warm bodies to fill holes on defense. I know Husker fans here were raving about one of their LB recruits, but these are probably the same fans who thought Steve Octavian...

    NU's Cody Glen to LB

    Heard on the radio here in Omaha earlier this week that Cody Glen is moving from RB to LB for the Huskers. Not really much of a surprise since Castille and Lucky are both better and will get the majority of the touches. I think it's more of a desperation move due to the fact that the LB position...

    Spring Game Do's and Dont's

    This week's sign that you might have a drinking problem: getting so drunk tailgating for the SPRING GAME that you throw up on a complete stranger's shoes. Good Lord.

    Your office coffee mug.

    My office coffee mug is the paper Starbucks cup next to the coffee machines in our building. I guess I'm not much help.

    No single-game tickets for Huskers at ISU

    If I got to my seat and discovered a Husker fan sitting in it with a hillside ticket, things would get ugly in a hurry. Too many cheap ISU fans already do the same thing, please don't encourage the visiting fans to do it too. IMO, the sooner we eliminate hillside seating altogether, the better.

    Favorite Golf Courses (That You've Played)

    My list might appeal more to the weekend hacker, such as myself. Nice places, but you won't have to drop a car payment for greens fees. Landsmeer Golf Club - Orange City, IA. Pretty nice links style course on the northeast edge of town. Plymouth county residents get 1/2 price memberships...

    Getting back to Iowa!

    You might want to check that cheaper property taxes statement. My best friend from college lives in Houston and has a house worth roughly what our house in Johnston was worth, but his taxes are 2 1/2 times what ours were. They're going to make up for the loss of income tax somewhere.
