Congrats Steelers fans.

I'm a funny/clever commercial addict, so I kept track of every one that made me laugh and/or sniffle. I have to say that if I was judging the commercials on just how touching they are, Budweiser won, hooves down, Bonz. I think I cried when I saw the pony's older buddies pushing that wagon. :D And the reaction of the cowboys during the sheep streaker! Hilarious! Ameriquest had some really funny ones, though. The hospital setting with the doctor's aide guy zapping the fly...what was the catch phrase? Something like, "Don't believe everything you see," along those lines. And the one on the airplane, the lady straddling the guy. LOL All of the Bud Light commercials were pretty funny, too. Some others I really enjoyed - The hamster mascot (McDonald's) Sierra Mist (airport scanner "beep") FedEx (caveman) Michelob Ultra (the darker side, guy tackles girl, vice versa) Oh, Sprint was GREAT! (crime deterrent phone one & couch on fire one) Jack in the Box (feeding pigeons [people] ciabatta bread) Sharpie (pirate with hook costume) Nationwide (old Fabio) Another one of my favorites was the Emerald Nuts one, but I missed the "L" word! Evil-eyed Machete Enthusiasts Recognize A L??? Druid Networking Under The Stairs Also, the McGyver blast from past (MasterCard) and the boomerang thief (Outback restaurant) I know, but it's only once a year! :D Brenda

I thought I would check in before leaving for the weekend. Yesterday was a day from hell. I am asking you again for prayers and support for my family. What I am going to tell you is almost impossible to believe. It concerns two of my nephews. One is ninth grade, the other away at college, finishing up his senior year. Last week my brother and his wife received a call from the ninth grader's school, saying that he had suffered an "episode" and recommended taking him to the doctor. To make a long story short, he had gotten extremely stressed out at school (he is always on the honors list) and just cracked. They described it as a manic episode. He is seeing several doctors and has gotten better, went back to school yesterday. When talking to my mother yesterday morning, she said she had started receiving some very bizarre emails from our other nephew, who is away at college. She didn't want to bother my brother, because of everything they had been going through with the younger son. I asked her to forward them to me, and gosh almighty, they were more than bizarre, really out of it, almost suicidal. So I told her I was going to track down my brother and/or his wife at their work and let them know. To make a long story short, this nephew has also suffered some sort of manic breakdown - they tested him and did not find drugs or alcohol in his system and will be committing him to a mental hospital for evaluation. My brother is with him, as my sister-in-law had to stay home with the other son. I was hesitant to post this on a forum, but I believe in prayer and that it can help heal, and my poor brother and his family need it in the worst way. They are just stunned and in shock. They are the last family you would think something like this would happen to. Very stable environment, very supportive of their children. Thank you for letting me share.

luann, I posted the price with tickets. And sadly, having season tickets does not guarantee super bowl tickets unless something has really changed drastically since Tampa. There is a lottery, some win the opportunity to buy tickets, some do not. Most who win buy them and sell them to vendors. I have been following and booking Steeler Super Bowl packages since I first started in the travel business in 1977, I cannot believe how expensive they have become.
