Pretty good SmackDown imo. I'm guessing Becky Lynch loses the title match with some contoversary (Like a foot under the rope during the finish), then beats the plop out of another gal to take her rumble spot and win.

Finally watched the original Halloween for the first time in my life recently. I know it's probably not gonna be a popular opinion, but oof... What a terrible movie. I like me some campy horror movies and even have a soft spot for just plain bad slasher flicks, but man... it was so, so bad. At my Brother's recommendation I went ahead and watched the Rob Zombie version as well. Actually liked that one a lot. I’d recommend 4 and 5, much better movies and still hold up pretty well today. You can skip the third because it has nothing to do with Michael Myers story and the second isn’t much better than the first. Thanks. I'll check those out soon.

If Option A is keeping the X Division Championship and Option C is vacating it for a World title shot, then what the hell is Option B? Option A: Vacate X-Division Title In Exchange For A World Championship Match Option B: Keep X-Division Title Option C: Vacate X-Division Title In Exchange For A World Championship Match AND Set The Precedent That Whomever Is The X-Division Champion Heading Into Destination X Can Do The Same

There's a Bigfoot statue on etsy that I'd kind of like to have, but other than that I don't really want anything. Not saying that to try and be cool either. I genuinely get way more enjoyment out of giving gifts than getting gifts. Besides, I have everything I need and almost everything I want, so I'd be absolutely fine just enjoying other people opening gifts and such.
Actually having a good time putting together a game system bundle for my Nephew and just grab a bunch of stuff off WWE Shop's Black Friday sale on behalf of his folks.

Super pissed right now...
Internet and TV are both down. Frontier says they can't fix it until Tuesday.
Have to use mobile data just to get online at all.
Flipping ridiculous!
Calling them in the morning and telling them that if they don't fix it today, I'm cancelling service and signing up.with Spectrum who can get me a better package for the same price I pay now and install it before Tuesday.

Just wanted to chime in a little in the whole wwe stars of yesteryear vs wwe stars of today debate...
We really don't know how talented or not talented today's wwe superstars are. They are micromanage and stop/start booked to death. They simply aren't allowed to truly shine because wwe management has a hand in every aspect of the on screen personas. Creativity and individuality have been sacrificed in favor of a largely plug and play style of good guy vs bad guy. Sure, there are a few genuine stand outs who break through the molds, but by and large, everyone plays one of a handful of basic character types with small variations.
Yesterday's stars seem more memorable because they were allowed the opportunity to be unique. There was only one Big Boss Man. One Jake The Snake. One Million Dollar Man. One Ultimate Warrior. One Mr Perfect. They were larger than life personalities and remembered fondly because they were created to be memorable. Today's stars aren't as memorable because they simply aren't allowed to be as unique.
I firmly believe that if wwe would simply allow their superstars greater creative freedom today, you would see a much more memorable, much more "must see" product.

Yup. Tried every place within reasonable driving distance of me that regularly stocks halloween candy (and a few that dont) except one Walgreens. Loads of any other type of candy all over the place, just no one with the one I was after. Wal-Mart's always had them before, but never restocked when they'd run out in years past. I'm sure I probably just missed them and that that four or five other people in the world who like that stuff grabbed em all before I could. Lol. There's a "Ye Olde Candy Shoppe" near me. Let me look tonight & I'll get back to you. Would you happen to know the name of them? I know exactly what you're talking about, but I can never remember what they're called. They're called Necco Peanut Butter Kisses. Couple other companies make them, but the Necco ones are much better (the other ones tend to be pretty hard or way too chewy). Much appreciated, but no need to go hunting for them on my behalf. Definitely wouldn't kill me to skip em this year and the current craving will subside soon enough. Besides, there's probably one or two in my Nephews Halloween stash he'll be happy to get rid of. Don't think any kid has ever gone trick or treating and not gotten at least a couple of them. Lol.

Not so much pissed off, but severely disappointed and bummed the flip out that Halloween has come and gone now and I was never able to find my favorite Halloween candy anywhere in my area this year. Most people hate the things, but I love the peanut butter taffy (the brown chewy nuggets in the black and orange wrapping) and can only ever find it at Halloween. No one around me seemed to have any this year and I'm craving it super bad right now. Have you tried Party City? Yup. Tried every place within reasonable driving distance of me that regularly stocks halloween candy (and a few that dont) except one Walgreens. Loads of any other type of candy all over the place, just no one with the one I was after. Wal-Mart's always had them before, but never restocked when they'd run out in years past.

WWE can do whatever they want to the network but I don't believe more people will subscribe. I think it's safe to say that subscriptions are saturated - if you are going to be on the network, you already are on it. I think this is a fairly accurate assessment. Sure, subscriber numbers are always fluctuating a bit, but by and large I'd agree that most people who want it already have it. They seem to want to model themselves after HULU, which is a big mistake because they're product isn't the same. HULU has a whole bunch of new network TV series and movies every season that continually attract a much wider audience than any wrestling related product ever will. But hey, if there's one thing that inevitable in the world of media streaming it's that prices will always go up eventually.

I'm no expert myself. Just keeping things fairly simple with my media server build. OSMC is a form of Kodi specialty built to run on a raspberry pi board (actually, I do believe it or something very similar was once referred to as XBMC). I haven't gotten into customizing things too much beyond making my own posters, info files, and thumbnails for a bunch of tv shows. Did set it up to have my wrestling collection nicely displayed and easy to navigate within the osmc system though. But, it's been my understanding that the interface for osmc is very customizable for folks who like to tweak things while being really easy for people who want just want an easy way to stream their own ripped or downloaded media. This isn't the exact guide I used to get started, but it's pretty good for anyone looking to learn about the process... mediaexperience.com/raspberry-pi-xbmc-with-raspbmc/

Has anyone used the Disc to Digital service from Vudu? If it's what I'm thinking of, yes I have done it before. It's the $1 for SD and $2 for HD correct? $2 for SD and $4 for HD actually (last time I checked). My brother uses it all the time. Does a few from his collection every paycheck. Really easy, just open the app and scan the barcode on your case. Biggest drawback is that they limit you to 100 a year for some reason. Otherwise, it works pretty well and a gairly cost effective way to really easily convert your collection to digital. Personally, I've been working on setting up my own home media streaming with a nas connected to a raspberry pi running osmc. Lot more work that way, but I prefer the ability to customize the interface and such.

Theyd have to cut the gum a little bit with any extraction. How much will just depend on how far down the tooth root goes. Most people will never even notice the small incision. Even if it needs to be cut more than usual, gums heal pretty fast as long as you care for them properly. Least to a point that you won't notice any pain anymore. They may or may not be willing to put you under during the procedure. Depends on the doctor (Most will, especially in the case of a patient with severe anxiety). Also depends on the cost. Some insurances won't cover it as it wouldnt be deemed necissary. For me personally, I had to pay out of pocket for the whole thing because the one doctor Medicaid covered in my area couldn't get me in for over eight months, so local anesthesia was all I could afford. In your case, just check with your insurance and see if they'll cover it. If not, you can probably still get it, but would have to pay for that portion yourself. As far as implants vs dentures go... implants are more of a permanent replacement for sure, but they can get really expensive and very few dental insurances cover it. A partial denture is much more affordable and very often fully covered by insurance. But, you might also do fine without it at all as far as eating normally goes. Personally, I could get a denture if I wanted, but since you can't see the missing teeth looking at me and I can chew fine, I'm just going without for now. So, id say that if implants aren't an option, just see how things go once your gums heal as to whether or not to get a denture for the gap. I will definitely need dentures or something, as they are pulling EVERY tooth. Not one could be saved, they said. With that in mind, and so many needing be extracted at once, I sure hope they will be me under. ![:(](http://www.wrestlingfigs.com/images/sad.gif) That sucks, but also makes dentures way easier to deal with. But, that also means they'll almost certainly be willing to put you under for the procedure. My Grandpa was missing all his teeth. He literally never went to a dentist until he was in his 60s and actually pulled most of them out himself. Only went to the dentist at all to have the last four pulled and get dentures for eating steaks and such (which he hardly ever used even for that). Having all of you teeth yanked at once will probably lead to some greater than average discomfort or pain, just based on getting all done at once, but it's still more than likely going to be a pretty routine procedure that your oral surgeon has done hundreds or even thousands of times, so try not to stress too much about it. Biggest hurdle you'll have is the wait for the swelling to fully subside so dentures will fit as they should, but even then it's likely you could get some temporary ones that fit a little looser while the gums heal.

I can echo the advice above. Don't look up stuff about the procedure online because the online world is filled with horror stories. But, if you already have, remember that it's mostly the people with bad experiences posting about it online. For everyone saying how horrible it is, there's easily ten other people out there who got through it fine and just moved on with life without needing to post about it. That said, I had a full extraction done earlier this year. They numb you up well enough that you don't really feel it when it's happening. You gums will take a while to heal, yes, but after a day or two of tenderness, you probably won't even notice. Just follow all the aftercare instructions they give you (soft foods for a few days, avoiding the area when chewing and brushing, and probably a salt rinse a couple/few times a day) and you'll be fine. Literally millions of people get teeth taken out every year and while it can sometimes go haywire, nine out of ten tooth extractions go really smooth and easy. Thank you! I am not looking online, but at the same time, I am in search of similar situations as I have not had a tooth properly extracted since I was 16 (30 now). My situation is really severe and complex I was told, in part due to a lot of the teeth in back being chipped down to, for lack of a better term, stubs. My Q to you is this: After your gums healed, what was the next step? Did you have implants or a plate/dentures at that point? And how long did it take your gums to heal post-op in order to enter that next step? Thanks again! I think I am being put under entirely for my extraction, FWIW. Unfortunately, with no insurance and having to live off ssi for income, I couldn't afford any sort of replacement for the teeth that were pulled. So, I just have a gap now. Sucks, but bad teeth run in my family and despite brushing a flossing properly, they probably won't be the last ones needing to be yanked in my life. The doc did talk about implants and while every case is different, some patients are able to get the posts for implants put in the same day as the extraction. Would be impossible for mr to say what type of timeframe you'd be looking at if you wanted to go the implant route. That's something you'd need to talk to the oral surgeon about before the extraction. I looked into it a bit myself and it seems like most people would be between six months and a year from extraction to fully healed and installed implant. But most folks are able to get back to eating and brushing normally way sooner than that. A denture in place of the missing tooth/teeth is much simpler (and cheaper). You only really have to wait until the swelling is 100% gone in the gums. You'll be swollen a bit for about a month technically (maybe less, maybe longer depending on how much gum needs to be cut and your bodies individual rate of healing). But, you'll only really notice the swelling for a week tops. Most likely only a few days. Some patients are even able to get a temporary denture pretty much right away that would be replaced by a better fitting one once the swelling is all gone and your gums get back to normal. Again, that's something you'd have to talk with the doc about because everyone is a little different. Bottom line though us just don't freak out about it. Easier said than done, I know. He'll, I'm agoraphobic and have massive extra levels of anxiety with any sort of doctored, so I was freaking out like crazy. Whole thing was over in less than an hour for me and I barely felt anything at all (and I don't take pain meds even). You'll be fine ultimately and probably just have a bit of mild pain or discomfort for a few days to a week.

If Michael Cole could scream "what a moment" at least a few more times just to get across his point it would be great. Horrible horrible commentator who ruins so many decent moments with shocking screaming To be fair, most of the commentary issues are due to Vince McMahon constantly yacking in their headsets and his insane idea about selling every moment like it's the greatest thing ever. Left to their own devices, I'd bet that Cole and Graves would be an excellent commentary team.
