The only reason I can't say pens, is a have bought some nice Cross brand as graduation gifts, but my wife's company buys probably 1000-2000 of those really good MIMA pens for advertisement every month.and brings about 50 home. Medium point, nice grip, love them. CHIEF

Yep. He is a cool dude, I've seen his full name, I can't imagine having to spell that in kindergarten. I've known him since about 1996, when he was still on Hancock. He comes up to Cresson and runs on their track quite a bit. I heard the magic number on I-35 was 176 mph. I love the picture he has on the wall of him going through a corner at 202 mph during the Silver State Classic, the right front wheel is off the ground, and that picture is from the early 90's, which was ridiculously fast at the time.

There are plenty of attractive single mothers out there who aren't looking for love, they are looking for help. They will throw that pussy down at the drop of a hat. There are plenty of young guys that will bang them silly, but they ain't gonna sign up to be a step parent, they just want to fuck. I guess you could say that both parties have ulterior motives. That is kinda what goes on around here. All the young men, I know, I tell them to be sure and wear a condom, no matter if she says she is on birth control. only take it off in the bathroom, by yourself, and throw it in the toilet and flush it three times. Cause "baby trappin' " is a thing around here as well. CHIEF

American Happiness Reaches Five-decade Low

Sure as shit would hate to be the repo man. CHIEF -
SW, that owns the exotic car dealership out at Cypress Mill and 620, is another guy like that. He is a very dark skinned Sri Lankan. The first time you meet him and he has an absolutely perfect Texas accent will make you do a double take. CHIEF

American Happiness Reaches Five-decade Low
CHIEF replied to Harrison Bergeron's topic in Daily Texan
I think this is more of an urban problem. Out here in the sticks, where people have plenty of opportunity to fish, hunt, camp, play golf for relatively low green fees, grow a garden, etc. People are pretty damn happy. They aren't crowded up, like in cities. The only ones that seem to be unhappy, out here, are the social media addicted Karens on Nextdoor. CHIEF -
All Encompassing Mortgage and Real Estate Thread
CHIEF replied to UTPhil2006's topic in Business and Markets
This is the issue with concrete. The EPA went after Portland cement mines heavily to reduce industrial pollution. Most portland mines have been around for about 100 years and retrofitting can't be done overnight. All of the current stock has to be shipped, by rail, out of Mexico. The transportation costs are what drove concrete prices through the roof. CHIEF -
All Encompassing Mortgage and Real Estate Thread
CHIEF replied to UTPhil2006's topic in Business and Markets
Either interest rates need to drop back down, or building costs will need to come down, that is the only two ways to make homes affordable for young buyers again. Starter homes, in my area, are around $250k. The difference in mortgage payment between 6% and 3.5% is a little over $300/month. That payment eliminates quite a few potential buyers. Labor and materials are outrageous right now. I'm not sure labor prices will ever go back down. I have no problem with labor being paid what they should, it lets the construction worker have discretionary income that gets churned back into the local economy. But material costs? Those guys have been around long enough that they are still profitable with prices dropping back into 2010-2018 prices. One of the guys that owns part of our small, local, concrete plants is a friend of mine. He lives in a $2 million house on the river, has about two or three $100k trucks, wife has a $120k car. He bought those when concrete was about $110/yard. Concrete went over $200/yard in our area, and is back down to about $175/yard. When construction nearly slows to a halt, concrete, lumber, and roofing materials will have the room to drop prices drastically and still remain profitable. One of the suppliers is going to have to feel enough pressure to break ranks. Personally, I would like to see both a drop in interest rates and material costs come down as well. CHIEF -

Pecans for me. When I was a kid, my family would find all the pecan trees on our deer lease and pick them all up for candy, pies, and cakes. I have nine pecan trees now, and get at least a couple of hundred pounds off of them each year. Mrs. CHIEF shells out a couple of gallon bags and sends them to a work colleague, that is probably her best work friend, that lives in New Jersey. CHIEF

Move over Idiocracy, we're (maybe) doing The Thing as well

The only way researchers and scientists should be allowed to be in that situation for 13 months, should be the ones that are coupled up with another researcher or scientist going. Send them off with a smile and a 55 gallon barrel of Astroglide. CHIEF -

Our local guy, Josh Weathers, just put out a new album. I've only heard the title track, it has a very early 90's Brooks and Dunn type feel to it. Not al lot of artists putting that out right now. CHIEF -
We are headed down to Punta Cana for a wedding the second week in April. Like OJ, I will be out on the golf course looking for the real killers. CHIEF

I was just refuting the claim that legal residents have the same rights as a full-blown US-citizen. I think it is obviously not the case. CHIEF
