  1. Ah ha! Yeah, that is worse than suicide. i dont mess with her grocery shopping. i did that one time, ONE TIME in the past and learned to never try to be helpful with the groceries again.
  2. yes that is the alternative. but am trying to keep everyone home as much as possible.
  3. ok, need help with assisting the wife in shopping. she is resisting switching to online shopping. i have no idea why but she has not embraced it at all. So, can you use Favor for HEB? i know they started a program for seniors but is that just the hotline? What about everyone else? Can you just order on Favor? Any other good methods? Shipt? Instacart and HEB curbside are weeks out. I keep telling her to go ahead and order on those for the available dates but she keeps dragging her feet and then the dates keep bumping out. So anyone help you can provide so i dont have to reinvent the wheel, i would appreciate.
  4. thank you!
  5. does anyone have a good stream?
  6. Does anyone have a link to surgical masks (not N95) that they would recommend?
  7. recs on best home delivery for groceries in the Austin area? pros and cons? trying to convince the wife that she can farm this out and still get what she wants.
  8. Today was a good day... For YOU! LOL
  9. i totally bought in at first and then FUCK YOU! lol...
  10. hahaha... that made me laugh. thanks. i needed that.
  11. yeah, i totally get it. i am helping financially support both my brother and sister at this point. neither has a plan moving forward other than big plans that take a year or more to develop before income starts rolling in. just go get a job!!! i wouldnt do it except if i didnt, my mom would and thats a whole other stress.
  12. deep breath my friend. this too shall pass. we are going through a lot of the same issues. one son is graduating and is off to Seattle. trying to find housing half way across the US has been interesting. the other is trying to find a house to lease next year after failing to secure the one he is currently leasing. daughter is frustrated because the girls she wants to room with want to rent furnished and she doesnt. neither are giving in at this point. my brother is going through some pretty bad addiction issues. my sister is out of work and living in a penthouse in LA with no plan for future income. meanwhile i am being asked (because its my role) to solve everyone's problems and trying to work on my cases at the same time. oh and did i tell you that we traded in my wife's suv for a new one over the weekend? and then she decided that she didnt want this new one anymore. so we drove out to bastrop to exchange vehicles only to find out that they already sold her old suv.... oh boy....
  13. #kindawhitepeopleproblems
  14. No Minnesota accents. Lol
  15. from my point of view, she made a few mistakes: 1. She never differentiated herself from Bernie - this was critical to her success. She should have positioned herself as the candidate that bridged the gap between the moderates and the progressive. Progressive Social Policies married to Capitalism. But instead she went with "I'm with Bernie" 2. Well that worked until she freaked everyone out with her M4A plan. People do not pick candidates based on their policies. The more specific you get, the more ammo you are giving to your rivals. Just pick good, general plans that are kind of vague and non-specific. People pick their candidates based on their person, ethics, morals, personality, effectiveness, and whether they believe in them.; 3. And then when it was time to start pointing out the differences between her and the Bern, she chose to attack Bloomberg over and over and over again until it started feeling way too personal. She didnt realize that she was helping Biden and hurting herself. She should have been balancing her criticisms of Bloomberg with showing how she is different that Bernie and Biden. I love her and thought she would make a great president but she made lot of tactical mistakes along the way.
  16. <= Pic she moved to Texas with her family in 7th grade so no accent.
  17. Same for us other than wife is from Minnesota instead of Asian. Everyone wants a revolution until they are in power and then revolutions dont look like such a great idea anymore. Your reasons are almost exactly our reasons for moving from Warren to Biden. It will be interesting to see who he picks for VP. Harris? Abrams? Klobuchar? I would love Warren but dont think it will happen.
  18. My progression: Beto -> Warren -> Biden Contributed to Biden this morning and have requested to volunteer. I am #RidinwithBiden
  19. you mean the social services that America really, really, really likes.
  20. Voted my girl Warren today! Felt good. Let's go Liz!
  21. Agreed! Capitalism when married with progressive democracy is the best recipe to motivate and inspire people to innovate and work. It's the secret recipe in America's success. We do not have that right now. Capitalism has to be held in check by a democracy that includes regulations and freedom and a court system, etc.. That's what Warren wants. Socialism/Democratic Socialism/Communism etc (not that these are all the same) do not have the same sort of mechanisms in place to inspire or incentivize innovation, invention or entrepreneurialism. My guess is we agree on more than we disagree on but just come at it from different starting points and maybe end at different points as well with lots of overlap in the middle.
  22. I don't agree with Bernie's approach, philosophy, background, personality, pretty much everything about him except a few of his policies that he shares with Warren. But Warren comes at those policies from a capitalistic perspective. If I gave Warren everything she wanted, we wind up in a totally different place than where we would be if Bernie could have everything he wants. Pete - no experience - life or political, no anything except a lot of snark and a really off-putting elitist, spoiled, bratty personality. This election is not about policies for me. Its about ethics, morals, experience, leadership. And I think Warren wins on all of those. And I think we would be fine with Biden, Bloomberg or Klobuchar as well. They are all good people with good experience. Of course, I would vote for either over Trump. But I would prefer not to if given the choice.
  23. Im hoping Warren can turn this around. She is my favorite by far. Followed by Biden, Bloomberg, and Klobuchar. Bernie and Pete aren't even on my board.
