  1. Might be too much, but I knew a guy that was given about that much by his dad, told to learn about investing, and pick some investments around that age. His dad helped of course, but while his brother went flashy, he started reading about warren Buffett and value investing. Ended up getting into investment management as after college and now runs a hedge fund. That’s probably not your intent (the hedge fund), but I hope to do something like that when my kids are older so they’re more financially literate than I was earlier in my career. It’s a bit different learning about this stuff in your late twenties than understanding investing, time value of money and the market before college.
  2. Just finished my Spain itinerary for an anniversary trip. 3 nights Barcelona, 3 nights Seville, 2 Madrid and 1 Toledo. After readying this, we’ll probably be stetched thin by travel days, so any must see/eat recommendations by city would be helpful. I think we’ll plan on a devour tour in either Barcelona or Seville. Hopefully the night in Toledo isn’t wasted, but we’re coming from Barcelona to get there and I figured we may want the extra time since it will take half a day before we’re there.
  3. Headed to Spain following Vegas or e would definitely be in play. Also, it looks like you prepay your meal now...not sure how that’d play out with the credit. Maybe I’ll switch Momofuku to dinner and kill beauty and Essex.
  4. I like China poblano and tequila, but left out some context. We’ll be there for our 10 year anniversary and I’m looking for a couple upscalish dinner places. No restrictions on cuisine, but they have to be Cosmo due to resort credit.
  5. I have some resort credit to burn at Cosmo to burn through, but Bardot is definitely on my list.
  6. Best restaurant at the cosmopolitan? I’ve done Scarpetta and most of the mid-range. Was thinking of trying beauty and essex and Momofuku (lunch). Zuma seemed like a good option, but the wife and I don’t really like super loud restaurants and I read they like to turn the music up to pretty insane levels.
  7. I’m a stomach sleeper and had this issue. It went away when I got a new mattress and pillow - not sure which did it. That said, I once fell asleep on a cheap mattress in our guest bedroom. I woke up from the nap and both my arms were completely numb - couldn’t even move them. Freakiest feeling ever and caused quite a bit of panic.
  8. I bet $200 on the land thieves to cover. Last two tx/ou games were awful and it was 100% clear Mack had given up with the BYU game that year. Figured Mack + case was easy money. I was wrong. Last time I’ll ever bet on Texas in my life...at least against them.
  9. Can we start a countdown to aggy hiring urban?
  10. Lol...+1 month. Oops
  11. I’m a couple weeks late. Any idea if they still have it?
  12. Haven’t been to popeyes in about 15 years, but used to think it was the best of the national chains. It’s sad to hear its gone to shit.
  13. I saw the same thing the other way at the end of game 4. Fans jump to refs to cry too fast (other than 2015 Texas vs. OSU).
  14. Costco? I live near Dallas Deep Cuts and like it quite a bit. It has a bit of a hipster vibe, but the owner knows his stuff and has great products.
  15. I had it done last year. Recovery wasn’t as easy as I was told, but I guess I was one of the lucky exceptions. Solid pain for 2-3 weeks and pain during sex for about 4 months. It was at least effective and I’d consider that worth the trouble.
  16. I’ve been to the Texas OU game in Fair Park. I also lived in the Fair Park area for 4 years. Does that count?
  17. Hopefully you capitalized and told her it must be her subconscious telling her something
  18. James or John?
  19. That looks phenomenal
  20. So you don't have to stand in line if you just are getting something to go. Seems a bit like idiocracy to me
  21. Coyote and bobcat sightings are about 50% of my nextdoor updates. The rest - 49% loose dogs and 1% I’m scared of black people
  22. Not sure why residents seem surprised. Surely they all know living on an active volcano may have consequences.
  23. Hutchins has a drive through? Why?
  24. Thanks...I can’t keep track of anything
