  1. Yes. Have written many articles about mental health, eating disorders, my daughter. Am now going after some bad actors in the community. Sometimes our soul finds us in the most tragic ways and its path is set before us.
  2. So, a recent update. Some of my daughter is now bonded with a shipwreck/coral reef just off the coast of Barbados. http://adadsjourneywitheatingdisorders.home.blog/2024/02/04/diamonds-in-the-undertow/
  3. Nice suit. John, Phillips, London. Rumor has it that Arafat buys his there. Or not. (you can tell by the sleeve buttons on the suit coat. A quality suit has buttons that actually operate like buttons. A real dandy leaves one unbuttoned.)
  4. Doc, I am in North Dallas. I have been through hell and gone in terms of death in the last 4 years or so. If you need a fellow Longhorn to escape with if just for a few hours, get in touch with me. I won't have any words of wisdom. I am not in your place or living your emotions. But just know .... you are not alone. I would simply say ... allow yourself to feel your full range of emotions. Don't hold back. At this time, don't listen to therapists. Give yourself the grace to simply ... feel, to mourn, to grieve. The manner in which we grieve is as unique as our fingerprints. You don't need to be strong for anyone, let alone yourself. All the best, Steven steven@dunnlawfirm.net
  5. Cops don't ask for insurance cards anymore. They can look it up on their system. I was gonna throw the bullshit card on this, but did some quick research on the line, and found out that is pretty much accurate. Who knew? I learned something new today. https://clearsurance.com/blog/do-cops-know-if-car-has-insurance
  6. Mrs. Paul's Frozen Fish Sticks? With frozen crinkle fries you put on a baking sheet and toss in the oven? THE Friday dinner for Catholic families in the Midwest.
  7. It never leaves you does it Brat? Whether in your case it is your grandson, or in my case, my daughter, that hole is always there. On Christmas Eve perhaps it is the worst. The long night. The darkness. Perhaps one candle lit. The ache where your heart is supposed to be. And yet, waking up on Christmas Day, the sun is up ... and perhaps, you feel that hope, the endless possibilities of the future. And you know... you know, you must surely go on filled with a greater resolve. You find greater joy in our Longhorns being relevant. In the future. You bastard Surlytian Assholes had better have given your kids a HUGE hug, kiss them on the cheek, tell them you love them. For one day ... they will leave you as surely they must. But until then, they are yours. They are the best parts of you. Merry Christmas you Bastards!
  8. This. With both the Duke alumni and UT alumni embracing him, his future post football life at whatever he decides to do is incredibly bright.
  9. on a lighter note, some of the best uniforms of all time in this video... and the number of flags which would be thrown today on these hits would be epic.
  10. ????? Heathen. Now I am no Chili-Czar like many on this thread. But, when I make my chili, I put the beef, or pork, or venison on the grill to brown it up. I use charcoal and usually hickory. This adds just a bit of smokiness to the chili.
  11. For those of us suffering from mental health issues, or who have had beloved family members taken, holidays can be so mentally and emotionally exhausting. Sometimes, small snippets of relief are found in the most unusual places. Stay strong Mental Health Warriors. Give your children a big hug and tell them you love them... every day. https://adadsjourneywitheatingdisorders.home.blog/2023/12/18/the-best-of-trees-the-worst-of/
  12. According to "Echoes of Texas Football: The Greatest Stories Ever Told," Coach Landry flew 30 missions over Europe surviving one crash landing. This is an incredible article with some great pics: https://www.historynet.com/how-legendary-nfl-coach-tom-landry-honed-his-fighting-instincts-in-world-war-ii/
  13. Was in Section 342 ... we heard maybe 5 words that mohron said. The rest? Just glorious booooos, loud laughter. SECSECSEC ... boos and laughter. IT WAS GREATNESS!
  14. Unreal... Someone's head should roll on this. There are truly some miserable bastards who deign to breathe our air. https://athlonsports.com/college-football/dead-longhorn-found-oklahoma-state-frat-house-before-big-12-championship
  15. From Far North Dallas... about to start a pot of chili, Messikin food tonight... Section 342 tomorrow ... FUCK 'EM AND FEED 'EM FISHHEADS!!!
  16. That ou pile up reminded me of this clusterfuck ... 2013 Pamplona Spain. NO DEATHS! Surprisingly.
  17. regarding aggy, past failures HAVE dictated future failures ... for the past 84 years.
  18. From Far North Dallas, about to pull the bird out of the brine ... after a walk contemplating the complexities of life ... remembering the joy Longhorn football has brought over the decades ... to missing those no longer here and yet, who inspire us to keep going, to become stronger every day ... And oh yes, remove Tech's Testicles with the lid of a dull edged, rusty Campbell's Soup Can ...
  19. Wow. This comes from a man who was forced to face, and then chose to face, his own demons. As alcoholism was stripping away everything most of us hold dear, for reasons we cannot possibly understand, Sark was granted a second chance at life. For his own redemption. The scientific community cannot fully explain why some people recover and many others don't. The persons with whom I have spoken who struggle with addiction issues or mental health issues, explain that even after recovery, the demon is still there every day. They have just either discovered or had revealed to them stronger coping mechanisms to keep that demon at bay. Every day. Sark has already overcome perhaps the largest obstacle he will ever face. That is the type of man you want leading your program. That is the type of man you want inspiring the young men on the team. People will always bitch and whine and gripe and complain about Sark. After all, it is so much easier to stay on the sidelines throwing rocks at the man in the arena. (and besides, we are Surlytians... that's what we do!) But, the vibe surrounding this team, its "culture" is reminiscent of a past time of success. Toxicity is gone. A new era with all of its potential and promise of pride and greatness is here.
  20. You Magnificent Bastard... As much wiki can be relied upon as a source ... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Sanders
