  1. Ittly DQ is still operational. Many stops there over the decades for me also.
  2. Prolly talking out my ass here but this game has the potential to be the 2004 12-0 loss to ou. We were all sick to death and thought the run was over. The next year VY became himself… whoever said above, if our receivers catch the ball we win the game. Also if Ewers sees Bijan on the wheel we win. Not to mention don’t be stupid in rushing the punter. Very disappointed, but starting over right now feels like giving up on the next 3 years already. I’m sick of this!!
  3. Buy small notes from the doorman or bellman at your hotel for a small exchange fee. He should have plenty.

  6. Did you know that Beto doesn't care that Messcin Drug Cartels are sending enough Rainbow Fentanyl to kill every Texan 10 times over?

  11. Love the thread. Whether we agree or not, I don't really see the choice any of us have but to hope that this stuff is true and that somehow Sark can put it together. “Hope is the most powerful force in the universe. With hope you can inspire nations to greatness. With hope you can raise up the downtrodden. With hope you can ease the pain of unbearable loss. Sometimes all it takes is one person to make a difference.” — William H. McRaven
  12. 4th Texas Cares draw last Friday (7/29/2022) S>2500 N=185.0 This is my history... Had a mild case of Covid in October 2020 Pfizer/Pfizer back in Feb/March 2021 Texas CARES in early Sept 2021 S>2500 N=51 Texas CARES in early December 2021 S=1615 N=31 Boosted Moderna mid-December 2021 3rd Texas Cares draw on (3/30/2022) S>2500 N=196.0 Jump in my N-antibodies between 2nd and 3rd draw must mean I had Covid sometime between my early December 2021 blood draw and March 2022. Late Feb-Mid March 2022 I was fighting an upper respiratory infection, sore throat, pink eye, hacking cough. I took two covid tests (both negative) and flu and a strep test (all negative). Symptoms finally cleared with steroid dosepack and 10 days of antibiotics. That had to have been it despite the 2 negative tests. Antibodies (both types) are still rocking along. Doesn't seem like an additional boost would do much for me, at least until the "updated" version comes out.
  13. What happened?
  14. DO NOT FORGET THE SHIT STICK For real though, good luck and hopefully the worst won't occur.
  15. First shot definitely appears to have either missed or been a misfire of some sort. I don't see how no one else (security, etc.) was hurt who was standing between him and the gunman. Shot gun blasts typically not that precise. RIP Abe
  16. hope things turn out better than expected.
  17. I told my wife the news and she said, "where QBs go to die" my response: but also a little this...
  18. We have a now almost 20 year old son with a late July birthday so most of what I reference is from research done almost 15 years ago. At the time probably 25%-33% of June or later birthdays delayed the start of kindergarten. Breaking it down further, boys from middle class and up families it was something like 70%+ delayed kindergarten start. Girls and less affluent boys and girls the numbers were in the low teens or even single digits. We had our son do kindergarten at a church school and then do kindergarten again at the local school so he wasn't just repeating exactly what he did the year before. He had a great overall academic and athletic experience through school. Chances are he would also have done fine had he not "redshirted" but we remain happy with our choice. We also have a current 9 year old son with an end of April birthday. We did not delay his start to school (mainly because we are now old AF). He is doing fine overall but he is definitely less mature than a lot of his peers. Looking around he is the second youngest kid (boys and girls) in his grade at school which tells me that the statistics of how popular "redishirting" is, at a minimum, holding steady, if not increasing. He has a couple of boys in his grade who are more than a year older than him. Tons of variables obviously but it is pretty common, especially for Summer birthday boys.
  19. Dude, we ARE in the CWS for the 2nd straight year. Sucks we’re losing to the ags but c’mon man!! no argument on football tho
  20. I have a co-worker who relocated from Canada. He is a US citizen but his wife and kids were not. Once they moved to the US in 2019 they began the process of applying for green cards for wife and kids. Also applied for SSN's for wife and kids through the same process with the immigration lawyer they were using. Due to general government delays and COVID, the SSNs were not issued until 2021. He filed his 2020 taxes claiming his kids as dependents at the extended deadline in 2021 after he had received the SSNs. Additionally he amended his 2019 return to include his kids as dependents under their newly issued SSNs. Yesterday he received a letter from the IRS stating that they were denying the "dependent" status for 2020 because the SSNs were not issued until 2021. Presumably he will get a similar letter soon regarding his amended 2019 return on which he also claimed his kids as dependents. His immigration lawyer isn't offering any advice or assistance. Seems like there should be some vehicle to allow for the dependent election as long as it (SSN) has been applied for but I don't know. Does anyone have any experience with something like this or a referral to someone (CPA,etc.) that he should talk to?
