Yes, and lending his name to that product probably made him more money then his entire boxing career. The most unbelievable thing about him the physical transformation.

I remember him more of a teddy bear. I was a kid when he started his comeback. I knew his grill and all his sons being called George for decades.

New George Foreman Grill is supposed to come tomorrow.

Snow happened today, but it all melted where I live.

People were driving like idiots on the freeway during the snow showers based on the video I seen on the news in Wisconsin today. I gathered, there was 48 vehicles involved in multiple crashes today due to snow on the roads. With snow on the ground, it looked like people were going 60 MPH on the highway that caused a 18 car pileup including the highway snow plow turned over.

I wouldn't be much help. It has been over 8 years, and I have no clue. Glad you found someone to help.

The answer was/is....You can log in using the user id and password we established in the Spring of 12th grade.
Then there is a lot of confirming or editing of the info. we put in to the FASA system the first time around.
It's faster the 2nd year then the first year.
I did all of that and then tapped on "Save"
The FAFSA system confirmed that it did indeed "Save" what I did.
The new financial stuff is yet to be done.
Another night! ;)

I go back a little further then that. I couldn't find the picture that I saw of him when he was getting ready to fight Ali. He looked like he was mean enough to bite through a 1" chunk of rebar. He had some massive muscle buildup too.

1619057546273.png This is as close as I could find to the Foreman look back in his prime.

Now back to the grill. I do like mine but the one thing I don't like is that if you can find replacement grills you have to pay as much as you would for the entire grill. I hate that. And you can't find them. Amazon shows them listed but there is no button to push to buy them that I can find. My grill mechanically and outwardly looks almost new, but I have to buy another complete grill just for two simple grills. It is a huge waste of resources and a good operating grill. You can give it to Good Will, but with a bad grill it is really nowhere near as easy to care for as a new one. This is my third one. This one is easier then the first two because with those the grills were not removable. That meant that you had to attempt to clean them without submersing them just with a sponge while all together as one piece. What a pain that was.

@Figgy1 , can I borrow your frying pan? Doesn't have to be the big one....a smaller one will do. Stores don't open up until next week, so it's still by appointment only for this week. You can only make an appointment for one person in most cases, and you can bring a child if the child is under 12. So A's shoes seem to be too small...which of course, we bought these at the beginning of the school year, so more than 6 months ago, and he has definitely grown. Next week he has vacation and he is REALLY missing Oma and Opa, who he hasn't seen since September, so we decided to let him go for one day to see them. You can only have one guest per day here, so he's going to go there on Monday and spend the night and we'll pick him up Tuesday. The only problem is that my MIL is notorious for looking for things like holes in the shoes, stains on a shirt, loose threads, etc and then she lectures me about how I could let him walk around like that, and how I should have gotten new ones a long time ago, bla bla bla. Well, we just noticed the toes of his shoes seem like his toe is wearing a hole in them...he didn't say anything about it himself, but we need to get him new ones before he goes to Oma and Opa's on Monday. So I look on the websites for the different shoe stores so I can plan in an appointment, and there's no way to add him to the appointment, so I figure I'll call, explain that he needs to try the shoes on, so he has to come with me, and see if they will let me make an appointment by phone. I'm explaining to my husband and he cuts me off mid-sentence and says "He's 12. Just tell them he's 12." It's so frustrating that he does this all the time. He doesn't let me finish what I was saying and he tells me what to do when I've already got a solution, he just hasn't heard it yet. AND his solution is to lie, which if there's one thing my autistic son won't do, it's lie/break the rules. So that's not a good solution because if we show up and they say "He can't come in with you unless he's 12 or under" A will freak out. He WILL NOT go along with a lie if I tell them he is 12, and if I tell him ahead of time that we have to pretend he's 12, he won't go. He'll worry about getting in trouble if he's caught. So I tell my husband that won't work, he KNOWS that won't work, and that he interrupted me saying I was going to call them and explain the situation. When I tell him it's frustrating for me when he cuts me off, he interrupts me and says "You're right. I'm sorry. You should call." in a really fake tone, like he doesn't really mean it, but he wants me to shut up. And that's how he's told me to handle his mom in the past...."Just pretend to agree with her. Tell her she's right, and then ignore what she says and do what you want anyway." So he interrupted me to tell me insincerely that he's sorry for interrupting me. I don't even think he heard what it was that upset me. He thinks I was upset with him for telling me to lie about A's age. He just doesn't want to talk about it, so he pretends to have changed his mind and he now sees what you mean. But the fact that he interrupted me while I was telling him it was frustrating that he interrupts me, tells me he wasn't really listening, just telling me what I wanted to hear so I wouldn't argue with him. In the grand scheme of things, it's a minor annoyance, so small frying pan is fine.

@ajrwdwgirl , not sure if you saw this story on the site here, but I know you mentioned in the past (when you and hubs went to a Disney convention in CA), that you liked John Stamos. Well, according to WDWMAGIC he's filming soon in WDW (for an American Idol "Disney Special" TV show in May). Thought you might be interested. :)

George Foreman and former Three's Company actress Suzanne Somers who played the dumb blonde in the sit-com gained more fame and fortune after boxing, acting. George had his grill, Suzanne sold her thigh master. I still recall Suzanne Somers back in the day demonstrating her thigh master on TV.

I am so very sorry. I would politely tell your mil to shove it and explain you couldn't get shoes because of the lockdowns if she dares to say anything. As for your dh MEN:banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead: mid sized frying pan on it's way. Just a thought can you order the next size up of the same shoe and get them before A goes next week?
