  1. I wonder how much he has to refund to his customers. His monthly sales numbers are shockingly high I'm told.
  2. I've got a great view of one entire block of the parade route from Chase Tower looking west down over the Plaza. I'm guessing I see a couple of thousand people in that space.
  3. I’m anti liquid smoke as well, but he puts it in the water pan. I can’t imagine it would make a difference either way.
  4. Same here except I got Covid in June. Very mild case. I’m getting the seasonal flu shot on Thursday (when my firm provides it) but my PCP is agnostic on another Covid booster. I’m leaning toward no more Covid boosters.
  5. My 86 year old mother wears some type of alert device around her neck in case she falls. We also have the Snug Safety app on our phones that requires her to check in on her iPhone each morning or else I will get a text that she failed to check in.

    Not necessarily an old thing. I’ve had them since early childhood. Eye doc says not to worry about it.
  7. Luckiest inning ever for the yanks.
  8. Depending on how many I’m making, I may go up to a minute. I also just put them on a plate with no paper towel. I too see no difference between this method and the quick pan fry. It’s way less messy and one less pan to clean.
  9. Microwave the tortillas in a bit of vegetable oil. They come out perfectly.
  10. We need a Star Chamber. That’s hyperbole. Maybe.
  11. The decision was made before the meeting. The meeting was pretty much all about the logistics of carrying out the final solution. Much of the discussion was how to get the bureaucrats to coordinate their departments to achieve the extermination of all Jews in Europe and then how to get rid of the bodies. They discussed the method of execution (gas) and the method of disposal (industrial furnaces). The film shows, among other things, that it's no small feat to murder and dispose of that many bodies.
  12. It is a great film. I found it interesting that a handful at the meeting were not so fired up at the mass murder of millions. The one army guy got nauseous and had to leave the room. The lawyer that wrote the Nuremberg laws was against the mass murder but was fine with sterilizations and state sponsored apartheid. In the end, they all had to go along with Heydrich’s plan. Heydrich got his due but it cost Lidice and Lezaky dearly. And I still love the parable of the son whose parents die and how he cried over the one he hated, but not over the one he loved.
  13. Not sure “very rarely” is best way to say it, but I haven’t seen the numbers. Off the top of my head I can think of the Atlanta child killer (Williams?) and the DC snipers. One of the guys was named Malvo IIRC. Now this guy, apparently.
  14. I was in the Crawford Box this afternoon and Alvarez’s home run was about a foot above my outreached hand. Their pitcher pitched a great game. Great win by the Astros.
  15. Sure, many institutions, leaders, and countries did bad things hundreds of years ago. And there are bad actors in every place still today. Shocker. My point about the Church’s consistency in petitioning for all of the mistreated and maligned remains. And that point was made in response to what was a statement that some churches single out only the unborn for their prayers and don’t include the poor and others that should get attention.
  16. You’ll be glad to know that Catholics still include the poor, the mistreated, and the downtrodden in the weekly petitions in addition to petitioning for the respect of all human life from conception to natural death.
  17. Yep. And the bird’s nest wigs.
  18. Alabama is not good.
  19. Both of these teams are not very good.
  20. I went to the Country Music Hall of Fame a few years ago and there is an excellent exhibit on her. They have one of her old dresses on display and she was very petite. I always imagined she was on the taller side with that voice. She had a great life. RIP.
  21. I doubt it. Here is the official Catholic teaching from the Catechism and this is where I stand. So, just to be clear, I don't disrespect or hate people that are homosexual-I have several friends that are homosexual, and I believe it's simply wrong that I must somehow reject the Church teaching and declare that homosexual sex (or extramarital heterosexual sex for that matter) as not sinful, or be labeled as a hater or just a bad guy. As far as sin (according to the Church) goes, it really doesn't matter if you are an unmarried heterosexual or homosexual, sex outside of marriage is sinful. Chastity and homosexuality 2357 Homosexuality refers to relations between men or between women who experience an exclusive or predominant sexual attraction toward persons of the same sex. It has taken a great variety of forms through the centuries and in different cultures. Its psychological genesis remains largely unexplained. Basing itself on Sacred Scripture, which presents homosexual acts as acts of grave depravity,140 tradition has always declared that "homosexual acts are intrinsically disordered."141 They are contrary to the natural law. They close the sexual act to the gift of life. They do not proceed from a genuine affective and sexual complementarity. Under no circumstances can they be approved. 2358 The number of men and women who have deep-seated homosexual tendencies is not negligible. This inclination, which is objectively disordered, constitutes for most of them a trial. They must be accepted with respect, compassion, and sensitivity. Every sign of unjust discrimination in their regard should be avoided. These persons are called to fulfill God's will in their lives and, if they are Christians, to unite to the sacrifice of the Lord's Cross the difficulties they may encounter from their condition. 2359 Homosexual persons are called to chastity. By the virtues of self-mastery that teach them inner freedom, at times by the support of disinterested friendship, by prayer and sacramental grace, they can and should gradually and resolutely approach Christian perfection.
  22. This. It’s largely the meddling wealthy donors that are fucking up our football program.
  23. Whatever your views of the LIV tour are, I think it’s chicken shit if Augusta National (Ridley) doesn’t invite all past champions, including Reed.
  24. RT is an aggressive little minx. Someone raised the idea that she might not drink the day after potion. How would having an illegitimate child help her? I would think VT would then have to make his new son the heir and RT’s options would be limited.

    You’ll need those prayers. Especially if you string it with poly. Sounds like you are in your 50’s. Tennis elbow can be a serious thing as you get older. I developed it about 7 years ago (I’m now 60) and it took 20 months before I could play again. The Volkl racquets are known for being arm friendly. I now play with an old frame I found online-the Prince EXO3–it was recommended on the Tennis Warehouse forum. It makes a huge difference. I can hit a few balls with some Wilson or Babolat racquets and my elbow immediately starts to hurt. And use a multi string no matter which racquet you choose.
