    Something along these lines started a blow-out family fight at Thanksgiving dinner last week. What a mess, I'm sorry to see someone else dealing with it.

    Was politely told today that I am no longer in the running for a job I interviewed for two weeks ago. It is really starting to get ridiculous.

    So, had a job interview today and had to cancel. Felt great in the morning yesterday, then went to do community service with the youth group I volunteer with. In the sun the temperature was in the mid-70's, so I wore shorts and a tee-shirt. They moved our group to shaded area half way through... started shivering and getting chills almost instantly. Around 730-8 I started getting really tired/dizzy, and couldn't get myself warm, ended up in bed by 930. Called the recruiter's office and apologized for cancelling last minute. Today, the chills are not as bad, but I still am light-headed and foggy. I hope it passes quickly.

    Joe at Warrior assured me it was the same color I was seeing on the Islanders and Oilers gloves before I would order. haha

    If by equipment sale you mean overpriced game-used sticks then, yes, there was an equipment sale. Honestly anything worth buying will end up on eBay in the next couple of months the same way it has the last few seasons. This was an event held by PensGear in the CEC to clear out the store's merchandise. It was not a true "Equipment Sale." All of the used and new gloves, helmets, sticks, skates, pads, etc. go out the back door to two or three eBay retailers. Here's a link to a thread on LGP describing the sale: LINK TO INFO

    "Brass" is the same color the Penguins use...

    I'm almost 24 now. The thing is the doctors will not put me on a "just in case" medication. Since I do not get them often enough I'm left to depend on Excedrin Migraine to take the edge off of them. I have to avoid caffeine, chocolate (I'm allergic to it anyway, so this is a no-brainer), and bright lights (hello tinted visors) all the time as they're all triggers. And then there are the ones where there really was no trigger it just happens. As soon as I feel my hands start to go numb, or the aura appears I pop two pills, and get into bed. Perhaps the worst part, however, is that my mind feels foggy for up to a week after them, it's miserable when I have something I need to really be sharp to do well.

    One of the worst migraines I've had since I started having them in 7th or 8th grade. Couldn't see much of anything for a few hours. Tried the sleeping trick for the worst of it, woke up and promptly vomited. Now every time I sneeze I feel like someone is driving an ice pick into my brain... Finally, let's not even get started on the pressure behind my eyes.
  12. JoeyJ0506
    Same things the Islanders have on their gloves. I have the carbon on mine and I was told that the color is consistent through all three materials.

    They allow you to replace the tendon guard if it gets worn out.
  14. JoeyJ0506
    Amen. I had one on Tuesday and my mind is still a little foggy from it. The only option I have when I get them is to get into bed and hope I can sleep through the worst of it. Heaven forbid I wake up and the room is spinning.

    I ordered 25 pucks and some other things from IceWarehouse last week that I really needed to be delivered before this Sunday. The original delivery estimate said they would be delivered by the end of the day today. After I woke up this morning I checked the delivery status only to see they will be holding the package until Monday. Looking at the route the package has taken I see that it was shipped 4 hours towards the center of the state yesterday before being sent back to the PA/Ohio line early this morning. This is why I much prefer FedEx.
  16. JoeyJ0506
    Fair enough, thank you in any case.
  17. JoeyJ0506
    JR, could you give some general options to look at putting into a custom skate? After getting properly fitted at 5 stores I got the same response that, "to get a good fit you need to go custom...retail will only fit well on one foot or the other." I have a shop that can do the order, but I know you have a vast amount of experience with Bauer customs. I know alot depends on the needs of the individual's feet, but what do you think is a "must have" in any order? Thank you in advance.
  18. JoeyJ0506
    For those of you that have gotten customs, what are some options that you would think need to be included in an order for anyone getting them? I know alot is personal preference, but beyond things that need to be done for your own unique feet. If you were to tell a buddy, "you just have to get this in your order," what would it be?
  19. JoeyJ0506
    Did the ink run when you put it on? How well do you think you can control it around the wordmark on the cuff?

    When people do not return phone calls, txt messages, or emails. I'd like them back right away, but I am not naive. But, typing out a simple, "yes," or, "no," on your phone or computer keyboard, or calling me back within 24 hours is not unreasonable.

    My grandmother (dad's mom) passed away last evening. For her it is a blessing as she has been going quickly down hill over the past month and a half. I never really had a relationship with my dad's parents, but still the sudden sense of confusion and urgency that has been thrown over my family is not good at all. Also, trying to make all of the viewings and funeral on top of my classes, work, and other responsibilities (Same goes for my brother and cousins in college) cannot be easy with all the funeral arrangements falling right in the middle of the week.
  22. JoeyJ0506
    both

    I'm up to 5 pairs of his (Sykora's) gloves, and all but one pair are missing at least the padding in at least the right-hand glove. I'm kicking myself for not trying to talk the guys at Sauce Hockey down on the price of the Minnesota Wild pair they had about a month ago... Fortunately I was able to pick them up from a random seller on eBay. But, he also told me he would not be getting anymore Rangers' gear for a couple weeks. But, if you eBay search for Rangers' gear, there is a ton of it on there.

    Petr Sykora Eastons from his time with the Rangers. One-Piece Fingers Short Cuffs Mesh Gussets Back-Hand Pads removed on both gloves

    +1 When I saw that the first thing I thought was, "man, one hard shot off the outside of the post and that house is getting hit." I wouldn't be worried about missing the net so much as a wayward bounce off the post. That being said, factoring in crazy bounces... I feel like all those windows are in play as well.
