  1. lol Come on old man, you don't chill in the Dill?
  2. regarding point #1- its not about the money.
  3. It could be that all the bartending led to the high social IQ, but I think its more likely the high social IQ led her to a job (bartending) that involves lots of social interaction. what is the bolded? Maybe I'm off base here or thinking of someone else, but aren't you a recovering alcoholic? If not I apologize. If so, nothing weird to you about her serving alcohol? Anyway, good job dad.
  4. The only thing worse than a man wearing tube socks with sandals is a man wearing sandals. Allowed exceptions: while at the beach or poolside.
  5. Ratio of me turning off lights in my house to me turning on lights in my house is easily 10 to 1, on a good day.
  6. Remember, it was a BP team that took out the shooter at Uvalde while over 100 DPS and other LEO hid with their thumbs up their asses. Which brings up the point-- if BP didn't have to do the job of Texas law enforcement, maybe they could do a better job of guarding the borders.
  7. I've thought about this with my 13 yr old daughter. I live in a small town, and everybody kind of knows everybody, and everybody "just loves" my daughter. She volunteers two saturday mornings a month at the local food pantry, unless she has something going on for school (band, sports, whatever) that day. She also of course has chores around the house, which imo aren't very difficult. Anyway, two friends of the wife and I have already told us she has a job when she's old enough: one is at a bookstore. one is at a wine bar. Either one would be a good job to work part time during high school, I think. She'll probably take one of them. She's also said she wants to be a camp counsellor at her summer camp when she's old enough. None of those I would consider a shit job but I think she'll be ok.
  8. Before we start cutting SS, we should cut Congress' retirement plans.
  9. It ain't worth the time and effort. Filing a lawsuit just brings more attention, and more sales, and gets the rubes fired up. Although the lulz of seeing MAGA men shooting and setting on fire their NBA stuff would be epic.
  10. She's been playing for two years (two seasons), just in middle school. Needs to work on her coordination. She can jump, but needs to work on her timing. Also on her motivation. She likes playing and being part of a team, but she's not into training or conditioning. We'll see. I'm not going to force anything.
  11. still not sure what that means. Maybe the wife had a stroke?
  12. Uh, I'd give that last server my huge tip.
  13. Watched the game with my 13 year old who is in to volleyball. She's tall and skinny for her age. I can hope can't I? Anyway, awesome job ladies. Hook 'em!
  14. The prepare your anus rep is intended for Penix, not you. If prepare your anus is a neg, I owe you one.
  15. this is the correct answer. The schools with the most NIL money will buy the best players.
  16. Sounds like a fun game to attend. If I didn't have a shit ton of shit to do this weekend and next week, I'd think about making the drive.
  17. HOLY SHIT WE"RE ALL GOING TO DIE!!!! oh wait, you said an X TWO point 8 flair. Nevermind.
  18. After my freshman year in college, I told my dad I didn't think college was for me. He got me a job with a contractor friend of his shingling roofs in Austin. I lasted a summer, then my ass was back in school for the fall semester. Pay was good for the mid 80s-- ten buck an hour under the table straight cash on Fridays, plus lunch daily and a cold beer on the drive home. Same pay the illegals on the crew got. I'd drive to the boss's house in the am, we'd go pick up the rest of the crew--same two or three other guys every day on 1st street, north of the river, a few blocks west of Congress (I think it was about where the city hall is now). Worked 50- 60 hours a week. Even at 19 or 20 years old, working on a roof in august in Austin almost killed me. I have nothing but respect for guys who work construction outside in hell holes like Austin now. That job motivated me to stay in school and get a degree, and then a masters, and now I mostly work outside anyway, but not shingling roofs.
  19. Love that movie. "go find yourself a spin cycle!" "yeah, go find yourself a spin cycle! Wait, what does that even mean?" "Man, look at the size of those maggots in the rotten meat!"
  20. lol. you won't ever convince me the snub wasn't due to the committee members saying "I'm not listening to that fucking war chant 50 thousand times during a playoff game."
