  1. "Deep thoughts by Jill Handey."
  2. I have in the past donated where possible. Had a good month during hail season a few years back & a single Mom with 2 kids (one a solidly autistic teen boy) was asking if anyone had received the junk mail coopin for a "buy 1 / get one 50% off" haircut from Great Clips (she thinks the one she got had been tossed into recycling & lost). Her ex husband wouldn't contribute because in his mind, "I already give you enough $ in child support". I met her @ the parking lot here in Drip (across from H.E.B. & in addition to the coupon, I gave her $ 250 cash & said she should get the kids some Schlotky's or TCBY next door & maybe pay a bill or 2. Now here I am having the wreck last year & income has trickled... I have benefitted GREATLY from the largesse of the Surly community & others & that has kept us afloat in our time of need. We visit the food bank(s) here in Drip & every time we go, my wife feels like it's a pride swallowing event (we were there just today after my 2nd round of retinopathy (eye) injections. I remind her that we should feel extremely appreciative these resources are available here instead of needing to go 1 hour away into Austin. In specific answer to your question, YES. & In so many ways, it is a life & mentally / emotionally changing event.
  3. I have referred this guy often .. been licensed for +12 years. Former roof crew leader of mine. José Rodriguez Puma A/C & Heating 512.567.3007 Has been to many Shag² member homesover the years. Tell him "that roofer guy with the missing thumb sent you.
  4. Except instead of 2 guys propping up a dead guy, Trump has an entire Admission % & congress dragging his lard ass around & saying "It's fine... everything is fine."
  5. At least DLR was mostly entertaining, however unlike Donny, Dave hasn't tried to hide his hair loss in such a shitty manner or taken an entire nation hostage.
  6. SCoTUS gave Biden unfettered ability to do just that... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Opportunity missed, I guess.
  7. :rage: I don't want to have to go through / around anything to do with that whenever I go to visit my Dad's headstone or maybe put a wreath there.
  8. ...as we have been told.
  9. I expect "builder" Trump will ensure the pedestals to be fluted / Romanesque & paint the high parts in Glidden gold "because Elegant / class up this shithole building." https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/fWGPsS0dh5k?feature=oembed] [/url] [/url]
  10. You're only *NOW* figuring this out?
  11. If this doesn't piss you off, there is Ø hope for you. Trump says he intends to 'fix' something that isn't in ANY need of modification. The Lincoln Reflecting Pool. I can only assume Trump doesn't like this spot because it is where MLK Jr. made his famous speech? Oh, & he ALSO wants an "Arc de Trump" somewhere in D.C. https://www.wate.com/news/watercooler/trump-suggests-he-and-burgum-will-fix-lincoln-reflecting-pool/ It is insanely crazy that these vast # of things fall under one main topic instead of standalone things. The destruction of America [both physically / figuratively AND institutionally] continues with willing participation from idiots & assholes.
  12. And? ...what are we not understanding & what is on fire there in the lower L?
  13. Unfortunately our Cub unit suffered from a few things. A Webelos 2 / AoL patrol decided to move en masse to a Troop that while in our area, wasn't the connected unit (P-101 >>> T-101) & that cut 12 full AoL Scouts from tre Troop & their Patrol leader didn't notify us until maybe 1 week before Blue & Gold / Crossover. Then, we had a District rep who was grwatly interested in spiking new Cub units & that was to the detriment of the 2 existing units & how new Scouts were recruited (assigned a singular elementary per Pack) vs. the prior & effective both units (us & the one other) "both units could attend the 3 schools on Meet - the Teacher / Back to Scool" & draw from that experience. With a new 3rd Lack, their CC (who came from our Pack as a Den Scouter) told everyone that "if you attend ____ school, you *HAD* to join their Pack & as a result we lost Cubs fom our Pack We also suffered GREATLY during Covid & I am of the assertion that was due to the (then) Committee Chair who never seemed to think the time was right to have a recruitment event (she was coming in as a first year CC & thought Spring was going to work but of course that's"windibg down for a Summer pause to Cubs) & all Dens initially were encouraged by National initially to Zoom in where possible & do handbook activities relevant to rank individually & with parents. As a result, our pack went from around 5 or 6 Dens + both Webelos for an August / September number of around 70 to 90 Scouts down to a combined 2 Webelos Patrols of maybe 4 (Weebs 1 & ONE AoL)) & one small Den for Bobcat - Tiger - Bear. & That was mostly comprised of the truly committed parents. As a result, the graduation upon to the Troop suffered & they are trying to recovered.
  14. One arm mainlining aggy tears, the other with u. Of O... but thankfully 1½ months apart. Don't want to risk an overdose.
  15. Need this 'Shopped with the kid a bit further to the L & a pillow on the Teddy's face.
