  2. You Magnificent Bastard... As much wiki can be relied upon as a source ... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Sanders
  3. You are my Fucking Halloween Hero Year Round.
  4. Fuck me... that brings back memories of ... the late, great BLUE FRONT RESTAURANT. Owned by a German family, 5 or 6? sisters worked there ,during lunch would sing songs in German. IT was greatness. https://lakewood.advocatemag.com/blue-front-ii/
  5. Going to be posting this in the Daily Texan part of this board as well since it deals with physician assisted suicide for mental health issues. An incredibly divisive, controversial topic. This article came out in the Washington Post this past week. Your boy here is mentioned in it, has a photo of me and my daughter. (I tried to squeeze in a surly reference but it ended up on the cutting room floor). [I hope it's not behind a paywall. If so, let me know and I will see what I can do to link the article, gratis] Anyhoo, on November 17, a number of mental health professionals are meeting in Denver to start a new discussion on this issue. And yes, I will be in attendance. Greater tomorrows always start with that first, hesitant step. https://www.washingtonpost.com/style/of-interest/2023/11/01/anorexia-suicide-controversy-jennifer-gaudiani/
  6. From Mickey Mouse Hell in Orlando with my son, his wife, her family ...
  7. Some days are just meant to be more difficult than others. https://adadsjourneywitheatingdisorders.home.blog/2023/10/30/to-my-morgan/
  8. While considering multiple wives (crap... I couldn't even handle one!)... oh, those pesky Samoans and Mormons!
  9. KING KONG DAMMIT SUE!! The fucker.
  10. Even women ... after 4 or 5 days every month.
  11. From beautiful Asheville, North Carolina, where Willie Nelson performed 2 nights ago ...
  12. So, my friend and I got to the State Fair about 8:45. Had no trouble driving there because of the secret way with no traffic. (Only hint... you have to drive through a gravel parking lot with lots of potholes). Zipped through the "Game Tickets" entrance without stopping. Friend picked up her on-line purchased coupons (no line either!) Went to the Fletchers behind the stadium. The line moved pretty quickly, plus we each had a beer while moving through the line. Met friends of hers at a nearby IPA bar thingie. Entered the stadium at 10:25. Gate D, It took less than 3 minutes to get in. Wrong team won. ou sucks. Oh.. and for you animals and the rules.

  13. From Far North Dallas, excited to be going to the game tomorrow with a hot, 20 year younger than me, MD/PhD ... (who looks upon me as a kindly, dad figure .... FUCKKKKKKKKKKKK), [no pics you heathen]
  14. 1. I still have my shirt like that. 2. Everytime I see a pic of you on here I think, "If Jesus was real cool" he would look like you. OH... and there should be a dude walking behind you at all times playing a loop of Crosby, Stills and Nash songs on a boom box as your "theme song." 3. Hook 'em.
  15. The solution is simple. But, the challenge presented to you brings intrigue. The solution? Find some Godless, red polyester wearing, toothless heathen on our side and say, "Hey Sport, I have a ticket on Satan's side. Let's switch." The challenge? See how much you can get him to pay you for that exchange. [Some initial advice ... use lots of small words.]
  16. uh.. no mention of grass or ass? What the hell?
  17. The best part about her is the speed lane right down the center of her tongue. Prevents any "slippage."
  18. I had been to every Texas - ou game since 1978. Then... the year 2000 hit. My daughter was in the Indian Princesses at it just so happened that our weekend camp out was the weekend of the game. So, I had a choice ... go on a life enrichening experience with my daughter or go to the game and keep my streak alive! Let's just say... the corny dog were watered down and the beer sucked at the game! uh... yeah... no. The campout is at Turner Falls in Southern Oklahoma. So, here we are driving north on I35. Of course, my daughter wants to be in a car with 3 of her friends, soooo... I'm driving by myself. That sucks. And as we drive north, this army of cars driving south all with Ou flags flying on the cars is coming toward Dallas. I don't know why, but I start to think, "uh oh." Well, we crossed over the Oklahoma border and all of a sudden, the cars driving south come to a stop. The road is empty. I soon learn why. About a mile later, there is this horrific car accident. One car is literally cut in two. And a corpse is lying on the other side of the road with a tarp over it! Holy Cow. Well, we get to Turner Falls, the dads are all talking about, "Holy shit... that was unreal!" Very sobering. The girls are running around, laughing. As we all know, gameday, the skies open up.. it's cold as my first wife's left nipple. One dad had a portable radio (remember, this was before cell phones were what they are today)... and I caught the half time score. uggggggg. For the first time in my life, I am glad that I am not at the game. The whiskey and cigars at the campout were still good. But, man, that was a painful weekend.
  19. From Far North Dallas, while thinking about women's vaginas ...
  20. For people in the twilight of their chronological years, the word "Anthill" brings back memories of "The Anthill Mob." {For that matter, since Coach "Prime" is trying to get trademarks on 1,000,000,000 sayings, perhaps I should reserve that one. I could definitely see the LB crew becoming known as ... "The Anthill Mob." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V_NR_ZXoGF0
  21. uggggggg... Sometimes the words are just not there. But, an unsolicited suggestion here. Start making audio recordings of you just talking with him. Get him to talk about his relationship with you, thank him for being there. Tell him how much it meant to you. A recorded transcription of the most important things in his life he can recall. Maybe then, find one of the more poignant stories he tells ... and play this for your kids. Let them here a message of past love and commitment and courage from your "real dad." In that way perhaps you aren't going to sound like a nag or a ghoul. The voice will be that of a man who made a difference in so many people's lives.
  22. I strongly believe that everyone handles their own adversity, their own obstacles, their own pain in individually unique ways. To compare your situation or obstacles to what you perceive other people's obstacles is a non-starter. Their obstacles are theirs. Their emotions, their strengths, their weaknesses, their pain, their resolve, are uniquely theirs. Yes, getting help for mental health issues is incredibly difficult. And to find a skilled professional who "clicks" with you is as difficult as finding a spouse. So many therapists are so fractured and in pain. In fact, many go into therapy to seek help or solutions for their own problems, through their patients ... counter-transference is very real. Why shouldn't you absolutely grill your therapist with any and all questions you have? They are asking you to trust them. They first need to establish that they are worthy of your trust by opening up. You are you. Embrace who you are ... your feelings, your emotions, your strength. And if you fear the ramifications? Remember what fear is. The only place that fear exists is within our thoughts of what might occur in the future. It does not currently exist and may not ever exist. And to let it control our actions and feelings is near insanity. Fuck fear! And if you get hurt.. and you very well may. Falling does not have to define us. As long as you pick yourself up and look to the future with even greater resolve.
  23. Fuck me. I am in tears reading this one. The strength in the human heart, in the soul can be so inspiring. Thank you to all who have opened up and contributed on this incredible thread. For me, it was like giving me a new suit of armor, a new sword and even greater steely resolve. Sometimes, in the most unexpected places, in the most unexpected ways, a light comes to you. And on a website filled with some of the most irreverent, assholish, reprobates known to human kind... comes this incredible gift. Again.. thanks to all.. And Hook 'em.
  24. YOU MAGNIFICENT BASTARD ... You had me... what a touching tribute and then, you pulled a Lucy and Charlie Brown on us. Well played sir.
