Looks like Murphy put his helmet on to start warming up

I was talking about this with some folks the other day. What was the result of the hearing?

Homemade Meatball sub.

My mother passed away last week and my Dad thought it was time to start giving stuff away. He gave me a lot of my grandfathers service records from WWII along with some other things. The one thing that I have always wanted to keep in the family is a piece of flak that struck my grandfather in the chest on one of his 35 missions. The flak and his mission list is posted below. The picture of the mission list is a scan, but I have the real one that is pretty delicate, so didn’t want to handle it. I remember looking at it as a young boy in amazement and one of my greatest regrets in life is not talking with my grandfather about the war. I have no idea if he would have been open to it, but he died when I was 18 and I didn’t have the sense to talk with him at that age. I have some other things that I’ll post in the future, but this is the most treasured to me.

Total looks to be 2-2.5 inches of rain in just over an hour. Lots of pea sized hail and the 13 yr old woke up and asked if we were about to die since it was so loud.

Went from just a little hail to covering my yard.

Been going for over and hour in dripping with pea sized hail the last 15 minutes. We are over an inch of rain so far

pretty good rain in the Dripping area for about an hour. I would guess between .5 and 1 inch of rain between 1pm and 2pm

I bet it has to do with the new rules that the FTC implemented. If you want some fun reading then google 10DLC. Phone numbers need to be registered by the company that owns the number. Some cellular carriers are following the rules and some aren't. It is supposed to help SPAM texts.

Do we get a bracket of who is eligible to be on the committee and then we vote on that?

Yep, I don't even get pizza when I go to Homeslice.

Had the "is a taco a sandwich conversation with the 17yr old man child" after reading this thread. He insists that it is not because it is one continuous piece of bread and therefore not a sandwich. I like the way he thinks, but not sure I agree with him yet. It would also knock out some really good "sandwiches" if I choose to agree.

This right here. I love some thick bacon, but it is not the best for this type of thing.

I would just assume that any pastrami worth it would be on Rye.

You are absolutely right. I am self diagnosed dyslexic and probably passed down a lot of other crap, ADHD included. I use that damn red line to auto correct spelling all the time. It doesn't help that I am also color blind.

How the hell do you match DNA from a crime scene and not look for the guy?

My 6th grade daughter failed the English portion last year and the school said she had to come into summer school. We talked to a teacher friend in the district and told us that was bullshit. She was able to keep all her electives and they put her in an Inclusion English class. During class she was pulled aside at various times with other kids in the same situation and then made up the 30 hours during the school year. We didn't get notice this year that she "may" have failed so it seems to be a good thing. I don't know if all districts have inclusion classes or not. The silver lining on it was that we had been telling the school that she might have dyslexia for years. They tested her in 4th grade and she didn't qualify. We brought it up again when she failed and they did a more comprehensive test which showed that she does qualify for help with dyslexia. She will have to loose an elective next year as there is now a "dyslexia" class, but there are 4 electives and she is in the 2 that matter most so she doesn't care.

Former co-worker was murdered by his brother while moving his elderly parents out of the house about 10 years ago. The brother was going to have to move out as well, but they told him they would help him out and get him on his feet. Didn't matter he went back into the house came out with a gun and shot my co-worker in the back 5-6 times.

Someone just asked our flags at the front of the neighborhood be put at half mast for this guy.....

I am on the board of our Water Control and Improvement District(Similar to a MUD). Most of the area in our neighborhood is controlled by this entity and not the HOA. I initially got on the board to keep up to date with the things going on in our area. The amount of crazy and entitlement that people have started to actually voice in the last few years has increased dramatically. Residents wanted the board to pay to cleanup their personal property from the freeze. We had another guy request that we plant live oaks in the common area adjacent to his property so people walking down the sidewalk couldn't see into his house because they would forget to close the blinds. It is never-ending in the amount of things that people think they are owed or have a right too.

Wow...couldn't stop cringing/laughing at this one.

Small hail in dripping

Getting dark east of dripping

Wind going hard in 78737(dripping) and starting to get dark

Yep and people coming out saying it was a bad decision and they should still have it. You know cause they are selfish and want to have fun. Yeah, we all want to have fun, but not at the risk of a kids dying from a egg side piece of hail to the dome. There is not adequate shelter for the amount of people that go down there. It was the right call.
