  1. Where has the DE from UTSA been in these games? I don’t think I’ve heard his name called once…
  2. Colin from Accounts was really good. Oz buddy told me if I liked it to also checkout Fisk.
  3. I do miss LHN for the post-game show...
  4. Looks like it just dropped - just stared watching the last episode... 2 hours long...
  5. What conference are the refs coming from for this game?
  6. Out of the blue, I just received a certified letter today from my appraisal district that my hearing happened in July and my house had been appraised 90K over the value. (I had used https://www.protestingpropertytaxes.com/ and just submitted their report for an affidavit hearing). While I had indicated I a) wanted to see their appraiser and 2) wanted email notifications of everything going on on the form, I heard nada until I got this letter. Stayed the same final value as the 30K I got off of the appraisal last year so I'm pleased...
  7. “Elko is waiting for SEC time… “
  8. “I’m starting to wonder if we have non-aggys calling in…”
  9. So any post-game shows? I guess that’s one thing I’ll miss with LHN being gone…
  10. When I had my first sip of it (not knowing), I told wife our maker must be screwed up and I'll buy a new one. Of course she likes it as well as the Houston blend... Yuck...
  11. Why the hell does HEB put their brand of K-cup coffee - Texas Pecan - in the same color packaging as Snickernut Cookie? Argh. Anyone want 99 unused Snickernut cups?
  12. Maybe because of the FSU game today?
  13. Got this from a friend in the Baltics. Zoom in is NSFW…
  14. Oil giant Halliburton hit by apparent cyberattack disrupting systems | CNN Business "Host all your apps and data in the Cloud - It's safe, I promise..."
  15. So is it better to have your different policies with different providers? Cars with one, house with another umbrella with a different one? I'm thinking if you have car insurance with one and have a claim, am I correct in assuming that claim wouldn't affect your homeowners? If you have separate policies but all by the same provider, does a claim against one - like a rental property - affect your primary homeowners policy?
  16. You can say that again!
  17. Pre kids, wife and I lived in BKK and the with kids, 3 years in KL. Would easily live in Thailand (Hua Hin or Koa Samui) or in Vietnam (Danang or Hoi An) in a heartbeat if kids weren’t in the US at school…
  18. Twin boys (HS football players) will be sharing one car that just had a full crawl-over by a mechanic, new tires, rear diff, water pump, timing chain and belts so not too worried about the car but more for peace of mind. Also have family in N. Dallas so they have that as a halfway point if needed and I don’t see them driving much other than home for Thanksgiving and Christmas. From the Texas border across OK and Ark, it a whole bunch of nothing - compared to Houston to Dallas or Austin to Dallas - where if you have an issue, it’s gonna be a long tow… Add ice and snow in the winter and 18 year olds… Even if it takes a while for a response, it’ll be faster than me or a relative having to drag ass up there with a flatbed to get them which is why I went ahead and bought AAA Premier… Flights from IAH to Bentonville are a bitch to get at decent rates and if you go via Tulsa, it’s still 2 hour drive across a bunch of nothingness. Don't care about the rest of the AAA benefits beyond the towing as I already have lifetime Gold at Hertz and tons of miles from Marriot and Chase…
  19. Yea, I already have a portable jumper and air compressor in their car and the campus parking offers free jumps and assistance to students if parked in a campus lot. My concern is that there is a whole lot of nothing between Fayettnam and Dallas and the few town that are along the route don’t appear to have more than one repair shop in them (if any). Water pump blows enroute, tow it to Dallas, Tulsa or Fayetteville where I have options rather than the one-toothed mechanic in some one-stoplight town… I “think” they now know how to change a spare now but I wanted a backup plan for them. (Changing a tire in the driveway where I have a 4 ton hydraulic jack and impact tools isn’t the same as on the side of the road with trucks blowing by at 80mph…) (Yea, I purchased the AAA premiere plan this morning for them and mom (no pics)). Of course, I jinxed myself as it takes 7 days to kick in and we leave on Wednesday to dump them off…)
  20. Thanks- that was my thought to get my wife as primary and one of the kids as the dependent as the wife will usually be in the car with me but might make some solo trips and one kid as the other should be in the car with the other one and as long as you are in the car, you’re covered. I figure it better to get towed back to a larger town with some options than to be at the mercy of the one mechanic on the reservation looking to have you pay for their kids college as well…
  21. Searched but didn’t see a previous thread… kids going to school at UArk and the drive to home is about 500 miles. Not much in terms of population once you get into Ok and Arkansas where you can get car repair if needed so was looking at getting an AAA membership for the kids as you can get a “premier” membership which will give you a 200 mile tow if needed. I already have towing coverage on my insurance and Chase card but don’t think the tow will get them more than to the nearest town. Any thoughts on if it’s worth the membership? (I tried to get one because it says you get an additional member added to your account “for free” but when I went to sign-up, they were still charging something like $26/year for the “ free” added member…) thoughts?
  22. So 300M X 4 = 1200sq meters? 😁
