Child rearing is expensive business.

I’m the same on maintaining our current vehicles. In fact the wife drives a 10 year old Honda that she loves. It is well maintained but had a paint issue. We were going to trade and looked around. In the end we simply refused to pay the numbers the dealerships in our area were asking. She instead elected to repaint it at a discount auto paint shop we have in town. That set us back $2k, but they shot the same pearl paint and clear coat the factory uses. We just hope they did a better job than the factory did. But, it is paid for. The same with my truck. It is 7 years old, but again well maintained. I’ll drive the wheels off of that bitch before I drop $75k on a new one. I can relate to your nest egg as well. I was able to retire at 55. Which at the time I had myself in good shape. House paid for, as well as the land it sits on. However as time has moved on the buying power of my nest egg has been reduced. I’m not smart enough to to know the exact reduction of buying power. I just know that when it costs us $40 or more to eat at a chain steak house, we don’t go as often.

I’m a retired guy who lives on a fixed income. Arguing about the politics really doesn’t help me. I can control my expenses on items that are want not need, but food and fuel is difficult. I struggle to understand how people are buying a couple of $75,000 vehicles, a home, raising children, and still have money for estate planning? Either they have well paying jobs, or they are in some serious debt. Especially since I spend a lot of my time looking for value, as I’m sure many of you are as well. To be honest I’m worried about my future.

That was fucking brilliant…

Has a bit of Fletch overtones. So far I’m enjoying it.

I need to read those. How much does the series deviate from books? Similar to Tinker Tailor?

The mic catching the chick yelling paint it black you devils just put that song over the top. I love that album.

Forget spelling. Player interviews back in the day could be brutal, especially the defensive linemen. The inability of a university athlete to string two coherent sentences together was amazing. When the Dexter Manly episode came to light it exposed everything about D1 college football.

The irony here is an FSU fan posted it…

So far as Tennessee, the people I know from there have always called them the “Vol’s”. I don’t believe I have ever heard anyone call themselves “UT”? I’m sure there are some, but “how bout them Vol’s” is pretty much the standard response when they win one.

The store is a tourist trap, but damn the bathrooms.

Does anyone actually believe it was budget cuts?

Crossed paths with her not long ago. We have some mutual friends that go back a long way. She lives a quiet life in Grovetown Georgia.

I tried to like it, but it didn’t work for me. The chemistry between Damon and Affleck felt forced, which is odd considering they have worked together before. That was a good cast, it should have been much better.

If you’re old enough to remember. Buddy Hackett’s HBO special was solid. Up until that moment you had to catch him live to hear his stuff uncensored. HBO brought him to America, and the guy had style. Redd Fox’s HBO special was the same. When those two guys were unfiltered they were fucking awesome. I know they get lost because it was so long ago, but they were really fucking good.

Saul Zaentz Is the primary reason. He was a piece of shit. Though he apparently was savvy enough to get Fogerty to sign a terrible contract. Fogerty was young, fresh out of the army. Had he not signed that contract CCR probably doesn’t break up, at least not until they exhausted their streak. And Fogerty would hold a far higher place in R&R lore.

I just did the same thing. The show works for me.

New season drops sept 4th.

Georgia will be a different team without Brock, but they’ll be efficient because of Carson. Bobo is still Bobo, so the play calling will criticized by both fan and foe. However they have plenty of talent, and they will be physical. A tough schedule will challenge them. Getting them at DKR is huge for us.

I stole your line. I was with a buddy of mine in this little shitty pizza bar tavern that has live music here in town. During the set change a couple walks by me and the guy sees the boots and asks me “what are those?”. Your line just popped into my head and I blurted out “panty droppers”. They busted out laughing and bought my buddy and I a round. From here on out that’s what I’m calling them.

Western Diamondback. They do have a model name, I’ll post it for you, but I’ll have to dig up the order form. And like you they shipped to my home. The photo really doesn’t do them justice. These are the first pair I have seen that used the Rattler on the adjacent seems that form the top above your foot. Every other pair I looked at appears as if they used a glue line, or hidden stitch to form the top. Almost like they were trying to hide the seem. The problem with doing it that way is your eyes are drawn to the mismatched pattern of the skin. By acknowledging the variation with the use of the rattler, it is far more pleasing to the eye. And the pattern difference becomes irrelevant. That little change makes a huge difference when seen in sunlight. I also can’t say enough about the fit. If memory serves me they took 6 measurements not including the standard shoe sizing gizmo. I have worn them 6 or 7 times and they feel better each time I put them on. They are comfortable as hell.

The Doors simply didn’t age well. From what I have read I’m of the opinion that Paul Rothchild was probably the biggest reason the first five albums really weren’t that good. Robbie and Ray have been quoted many times on how Paul was a creative problem with the band. Maybe it was a coincidence, but LA Women, by far their most successful effort. Only happened after Rothchild was gone.

Yeah, I missed that one.

I don’t have a problem with it, I’m just not sure I fully understand it? It’s like a solution that is looking for a problem.
