  1. Sorry for what you are going through. If you're in the Austin area and are considering in-home euthanasia and want a recommendation please DM me. We've had to put 3 pets down over the years--one cat at the vet, a dog and a cat at home--and at home was so much better. Your pet is in peaceful, comfortable surroundings and the ability to grieve/celebrate/heal in your own home vs a vet clinic is worlds better.
  2. I dunno, the tiny, shriveled penis as Donald Trump approving the political message was pretty fucking brilliant.
  3. Yep. What they did was despicable. And if you dig deep enough, dangerously irresponsible. Willis wasn't a great actor. But he made the most of what he had & lucked into a couple of damn fine parts. That's any actor's dream. There are worse ways to go in the end than not remembering your past regrets.
  4. "She got the covid jab!"
  5. If he did I never found it. But he wouldn't let another random cat near our yard. His owner is certifiable & "rescued" so many cats & dogs she damn near had a petting zoo. Stuart was almost 18 when he passed. Damn good run for an indoor/outdoor cat. He spent at least 15 years checking in on us.
  6. Derka's last posts reminded me of a recently deceased neighbor cat, Stewart, who favored our porch. His house was across the street, but he'd hang out most days in our patio chairs, look in the windows for our cats & dog, & just generally was a cool dude. Oh yeah, he kept an eye out for Amazon deliveries.
  7. He's on 102.7, the ESPN affiliate. He's lost whatever he had of his fastball and is pretty meh to insufferable. 3-4, and then Ed Clements walks down the hall from the KLBJ-AM Q-Anon studio and joins him for an hour. If you're stuck in traffic there are worse options.
  8. I just ventured over to an okie state forum (rideemcowboys) and a poke fan is bragging that they're currently leading ou 7-0 for the top HS players in the state of Oklahoma for 2026. Gundy's building a monster!!
  9. Yeah, Jeff Ward this afternoon was comparing Jerrah's presser yesterday w/ any random Trump moment in front of a microphone. They're both decrepit narcissists who don't have any plan or clue about what they're going to say in front of a microphone or a camera, the only thing they know is they HAVE to speak. And worse, they think people NEED to hear them or even care about the nonsense coming out of their mouths.
  10. And he's to thank for one of the best B&B bits of all time.
  11. That's what you call using up all of the runway. Peace, Ozzy.
  12. Looks like trying to watch scrambled soft core on Skinemax around '92 or so.
  13. Rewatching it again on HBO and just finished season 2. It's so damn good and essential. It serves as both a harbinger of things to come w/ the uncertainty as everyone--the crews, the stevedores, even the police--fight to stave off extinction by what's coming, but also shows step by step how the decline of industry led to generations growing up with slinging drugs as their only way of making money. You get the whole history of the game, and see how even those like Avon & Prop Joe who seem to be in charge are really at the mercy of the Greeks & the other international suppliers.

  15. The perfect Christmas ornament doesn't exis....
  16. Watching it now. I'm kind of ambivalent to Billy Joel's music. I recognize he's written some damn fine melodies & pop songs, & has been an entertainer of fine standing, but I've never owned any of his records or seen him live. But he does come across as fairly open & reflective in this doc. I don't know enough about his story to know if he's whitewashing his past, but he doesn't seem to shy away from talking about many of his past mistakes in part one.
  17. I'm pretty sure that was actually at the BXII championship game against CU.
  18. The timing of this during SEC media days is, well...
  19. The MAGA cap inference on the nightstand is so choice.
  20. Y'all can share the celebrity tales, but how about the local young teenage girl in every HS across the country who went to a party where everyone else was hooking up except for her so she went to the refrigerator and took out the (carrot, cucumber, kielbasa...whatever the most common phallic item was in the area) and got caught masturbating with it. And in some twists, it got stuck inside of her and she had to go to the ER to have it removed. I always heard this was Stevie Nicks.
  21. I'm legit shocked Trump didn't pull out a sharpie and try to autograph the trophy first.
  22. I think it's G.E. Smith.
  23. I mean, as soon as Keef hits that first note on his overdriven acoustic guitar it's on.
  24. MIL sold to Kerrville about 4 years ago after the FIL died. Sold the ranch in Harper and moved to where here friends were. We were thrilled for her to have access to medical facilities, HEB, etc just a few minutes away vs her living 45 minutes from anything at the ranch. She had a great place in a 55+ gated community just a half mile north of the Guadalupe. We helped her get settled and were visiting every few months or so and were really impressed w/ how cute, accessible and friendly the downtown was. We loved walking along the river park that has now been destroyed by the floods. She was only in that place a few years (long enough to renovate it) when she moved out to the Tierra Linda ranch area. She just couldn't get used to living that close to people so she found a house on 5 acres ("it's turnkey!"...she's spent the last 18 months gutting the place). She's about 5 miles from downtown Kerrville now. It does seem to be a very retiree friendly & equipped town. It's not a place we'd ever retire to (no place in Texas fits that mold), but it does have a lot to offer.
