No paper today

I remember as a kid I used to deliver newspapers.  We had a morning paper AND an evening paper.  Its weird thinking back on, and something that's going to blow my daughters mind when I tell her.  But first I'm gonna have to explain to her what a newspaper is.

I always liked getting the paper especially on Sunday. Big cup of coffee and some toast and just crawl into the news. Stuart with the funnies, comb through sports, classifieds, arts section. 

Dropped it five years ago as it just wasn't getting read.

McClatchy owns the CO and also the Raleigh News and Observer. You know what is also killing newspapers? Read up on any of the biased, anti UNC conspiracy peddling witch hunt that the garbage N&O has spewed out about UNC the past 10 years. People have too many options now and won’t waste their time reading crap.

I don't get how newspapers and magazines are still in business. Books, that's fine. They should always be around.

In 2011 my company did a large expansion onto a newspaper building.  When they came to us with plans to expand we were like "WTF?"

I don't get it either.  At this point I have to assume that both magazine and newspapers are living off of commercial customers who put them out for their guests.

Actually a good idea. But, be careful when flushing, it doesn't break down like TP.

Yeah, it would only be used as a last resort.  I am really not thrilled with wiping my behind with inked up paper.  :)

In truth, we are in decent shape.  My wife always buys in bulk, and she had just finished a shopping run, so we are good for a couple of months.  And I actually found some on the food lion shelves today and bought it for my mom.  I have a feeling that within a couple of weeks, the shortage will ease as people realize we aren't going to run out.

      T-Mac Jerseys?

      Not totally inaccurate, haha Except that kid wasn't as excited as I was.  I was yelling louder, and more, and running around the room in circles until I almost passed out from exhausting and was trying to catch my breath for a good 10 minutes because I'm way too old to be doing that, LOLOL Oh, and I tweaked a muscle in my shoulder from all the punching the air I was doing too. For as awesome as that pick was for me, it really screwed me up for a few days between my shoulder and lost voice (Wrexham securing back-to-back-to-back promotions Saturday afternoon contributed to that though too).

      Getting Pierce jr isn’t forfeiting the pick they just had 2 1sts this year.

      Full disclosure and the real reason.... I'll be seeing my Nephew in basically one month from today, and while I've gotten him stuff from my other teams the past year, I hadn't been willing to saddle him with Panthers stuff yet, that's now changed lol. So if the jersey would get to me before I see him, I'd get that and him his first Panthers onesie/shirt so I can get a picture of us together in them. If it wouldn't get to me by then, I'd just wait to get the one I prefer.  So yea, my rush is really just about trying to get a picture of myself in it with my Nephew in Panthers gear too.
