    This. I need about 2200 calories per day to maintain my weight. That’s at my current weight of 176 and with my exercise routine.

    Do all three separate shots several times over. Maybe four times each. Just to be safe.

    Disagree. As Grace said in To Catch a Thief, they are just common people with a bank account. Don’t confuse royalty with being rich. The rich can lose it pretty fast and they have.

    Hard to believe some people just toss a jury summons. If I was the presiding judge I’d issue bench warrants for your fucking arrest and leave your ass in jail until you spent the time and money to hire a lawyer to get your ass out. Sorry, this is a lawyer talking and civic duty and all that.

    But two of those sazaracs will set you free. Not a bad use of $36.

    Pretty much this. I recall sitting in a History class at UT in 1981 and the professor, George C. Wright, said pretty much this during the run up to Charles’ and Diana’s wedding. I thought the same thing then and the same thing now. I do enjoy much of the history of the royals as it impacts history—Henry VIII, Victoria and empire, etc., but I don’t really care about family spats.

    I thought Oprah did a good job with the interview.

    Unless it’s changed, with DirectTV and all the genies and five televisions the cost was $360 per month. If I only had one TV it might have made sense to stay with DirectTV. I save about $250 per month vs my old DirectTV bill.

    I heard that but it was just gossip, correct? Surely he did not do that.

    It’s just not a painful injection. The shingles shots (also two shots and recommended for people 50 and older), by contrast, were relatively painful as the serum was slowly injected. The shingles shots gave me a decent fever and flu like symptoms.

    Crazy stuff has happened before. When she was born in 1819, Victoria was 5th in line. Her father died soon after she was born and all three uncles died without legitimate issue.

    As for leaving the royal family, is Harry really out? As in not in the line of royal succession anymore?

    It’s not too much of an exaggeration to say that most people have a medical issue that qualifies for 1b. Get a comprehensive physical with a full lipid panel and there’s likely to be something that puts you at greater risk. I have blood pressure and cholesterol issues. That said, I waited until last Friday to get my first shot to give others with more serious issues a head start. And availability in the Houston area has soared recently. I suspect when 1c comes along most people will have had the shot(s).

    I was only about 3 months old when it happened, but when i became old enough to understand it, the nuke scare was something we always thought about until Nixon’s detente policy was in place. We had those drills when you crawled under your desk and kissed your ass goodbye. While playing outside if we saw a mushroom shaped cumulus cloud in the east toward Houston we worried about a nuke strike. It was part of life then.

    I’m 58 and have lived in the greater Houston area the entire time except for my four years at UT. I’ve had pools a lot of that time. The December 83 freeze is the only thing that comes close. My family had a broken pipe in the garage from that one but no pool damage. I don’t recall ever seeing the extensive pipe/pool damage from a prolonged freeze in central/SE Texas that we got with this one. I’d say it’s more like a once in a lifetime event. 89 and 2011 had cold periods, but I didn’t see the extensive damage to pipes and pools like this.

    Got my first Pfizer shot today. Weird that I didn’t feel it all compared to the annual flu shot or the shingles vaccine. Zero soreness and no apparent side effects after three hours. CVS is a machine.

    I don’t disagree. But some of the syrahs over the years, especially the Pappa’s, have been other worldly.

    Wine

    My semi-annual case of Carlisle came in yesterday. This offer was all Zins. Their Syrah and petite Syrah are very good. They also have a few whites that are interesting. Most of their wines are under $45. I encourage everyone to get on the list. This is about the only Cali wine I drink now.

    It’s worth a read.

    Sounds like you are new to spinning. If so, yes. But it will not take long to get really into it. Most of the classes are not insane.

    You could have a nice drinking game with Jenn Sherman. Take a drink every time she says fuck.

    I have the exact same crack in my valve. My irrigation guy says the part is on back order. I turned my water off at the valve and then bled the device. I was unable to turn the water off below that point hence the broken valve.

    This. I’ve had shitty bagels in NYC and very good bagels in Houston.

    Not hipster worthy, but this little thing (it’s much smaller than it looks) was a life saver last week on a gas stove when the power went out and coffee shops were closed. It really only makes about two double shots.
