I know I am cheap but the food it pretty good and for that price it beats burgers and fries that show up at the mid-section within hours\u2026<\/p>\n<p>After Lunch we went to pick up tickets for the <strong>game<\/strong> Sunday\u2026 The OSU women BB <strong>team<\/strong> is in the WNIT and they are doing well\u2026 OSU is also doing well in hosting the games this will be the 4th they will have hosted in this and it is fun for us.&nbsp; The <strong>game<\/strong> <strong>last<\/strong> <strong>night<\/strong> was a real \u201cbanger\u201d.&nbsp; The other <strong>team<\/strong>, I guess, had determined to make it as ugly as possible and the refs were <strong>going<\/strong> to oblige.&nbsp; There were a <strong>lot<\/strong> of no-calls, bad calls and more than a few times the refs had to go the monitor to check out \u201cflagrant\u201d stuff\u2026 how they could miss bloody noses, and black eyes and people laying on the floor is beyond me.&nbsp; We won but not with out numerous bruises.&nbsp; I commend those&nbsp; girls they are a real bunch of fighters and never gave in to it.&nbsp; It was a good win and they have another chance at home to move on up the <strong>line<\/strong>.&nbsp; We will be there, will you?<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ishmaels.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/score.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px\" title=\"score\" border=\"0\" alt=\"score\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ishmaels.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/score_thumb.jpg?resize=546%2C471\" width=\"546\" height=\"471\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I then dropped the <strong>wife<\/strong> off back at work and I made some rounds of things to do.&nbsp; Went by Chucks to get a name for a tile man.&nbsp; We intend to redo the tile in our bath and maybe some other places.&nbsp; Some things we built in we do not like now and while we can, we will get changed.
