  1. And that woman will be richer than all of us on this thread in 10 years with that sort of investment discipline.
  2. The LCRA map this morning was strange. Based on what I saw at my place, I thought the whole city was inundated. Turns out Bull Creek was about the bullseye, a little south or north was almost nothing.
  3. Got an inch and a half in my rain gauge near Bull Creek/2222. I’ll take it!
  4. It is known
  5. Seems like a good way to frame someone for a crime, too.
  6. Staying up by the fairgrounds, so went to Toast for breakfast: Got the Aebleskivers to start (a cross between pancake and beignets): And I went with the BLT with an egg for my breakfast:
  7. Last festival food pic, soft shelled crab PoBoy: We also had some other things we didn’t get pics of, but all in all, great to be back.
  8. Actual Fest foods. Yakiniku Po Boy: Shrimp Yakisoba (6 year old requests it every fest): Spinach Artichoke Casserole, Alligator Sausage PoBoy, Cochon de Lait PoBoy:
  9. First (and only, TBH) lucky dog of the trip.
  10. Hit up Molly’s Rise and Shine for breakfast. Chicken Biscuit: Fancy “McMuffin”: And my wife got the “carrot yogurt”:
  11. The good thing about coming to NOLA with young kids, they eat early. And since Parkway now closes at 6:00; you can actually make it there for dinner. The James Brown: not going to win any beauty contest, but did win a poboy competition.
  12. On the ground for JazzFest tomorrow. Kids were starving, wanted “noodles” so we googled for something close to the airport. Wound up at Bain Mi Boys, which is connected to a Texaco Station on Airline. Ordered Oysters Rockefeller Fries And a Bang Bang Shrimp Bahn Mi All in all, great start to the trip.
  13. $250 for GA? Does it come with a guarantee I’ll get laid for that price?
  14. 1.21 gigawatts? Try the Twin Pines Mall.
  15. Dear Quinn: Don’t quit your day job. Writing is not your strong suit. Just win.
  16. Counterpoint: When the average baby boomer has most of their net worth tied up in real estate; they should sell to access the equity and live off of in their twilight years.
  17. Good. I honestly think one of the issues, structurally, with our workforce, and by correlation, housing market is people who should be retiring and downsizing not doing either. Hope this makes people who should retire, retire, and that in turn makes the retires sell their huge suburban home to go live in an "active senior" community.
  18. that’s what she said?
  19. Half true.
  20. Look at Frost. I have a HELOC through them. Knowing roughly what you paid and roughly what your home is valued at, you'll be golden. The only hiccup when I did mine last December - the house appraised for TOO much and if I took out the most amount of HELOC I could I would have had to pay for title insurance. I asked what's the most I can get without title insurance. The answer was $500K. So that's what I have now, and I am only using a small portion of it for the remodel. Edit to add: This put me in the Frost Private Bank. too, which is nice.
  21. I don't think TCAD has successfully linked my shaggy profile with my Law Firm's tax bill, so I should still be safe from web crawlers.
  22. I own a commercial property (not saying where), and it had a 0% increase. Same exactly as last year. Crossing my fingers that they just keep ignoring my commercial property for years to come. But when it does get increased, I'm going to have to raise rent on tenants (including my own law firm) to cover that, since we are pretty lean on rent rates to be competitive (we are 100% occupied currently, which is nice).
  23. He’s a birdbrain.
  24. Mine is posted. Up 68% from last year. It’s still probably less than I could sell it for, but I ain’t moving.
