  1. I feel like I should already know this, but what is your topic? You're not the pegging guy are you?
  2. I've thought about this also. Probably the same with the spunk and egg bank for someone who wanted to save them for later...
  3. We saved cord blood for our youngest (7 y/o) and just got the bill for this year's storage this week. I suppose we will continue to keep it but I don't even know what the use case would ever be or how we'd get it if we needed it. I have also wondered before if it (youngest's cord blood / stem cells) would be useful for our other kids or my wife or I if we ever had a need. I know I've heard stories before where a couple had a kid who had some specific illness and they ended up having another kid in hopes that somehow that new child could somehow help the existing sick kid. Any thoughts from anyone?
  4. Kindle is a better reading experience. Now, if your wife reads on her phone because she already has it in her hand (riding in car, train, plane, etc.) and would now always have to keep a kindle with her to use it in a similar fashion, you can probably pass on the purchase. If she just reads in bed and could just as easily pick up the kindle instead of her phone she will thank you for it.
  5. A rout? Thanksgiving weekend 1989 home loss to Baylor 50-7 and it wasn't that close. This was the same Baylor team rebounding from a loss to Rice 6-3 a week earlier. Times are certainly not great now but those were some dark days on the 40 acres.
  6. I heard from a friend who teaches in a Dallas suburban district who told me that they (teachers and students) were shown a video last week that instructed all that if they needed to sneeze that they should remove their mask and sneeze into their elbow so that they would not have the sneeze particles all over their mask. Am I missing something or is that about the most idiotic advice possible you could give a 6-11 year old kid?
  7. Sorry to hear that Brisket. @Anastasis our 7 year old had what you described about a month ago. Middle of the night wake up, feeling bad, mild fever, etc. Woke up feeling fine but we kept him home just for good measure. They told us to get him back in school we needed a negative PCR, or a doctor note that it was something else entirely or wait 14 days. We had him do a PCR test that morning but were resigned to him being home for 2-3 days while the results came back. As a shortcut I went and did a rapid test on myself thinking there's no way he'd be positive if I was negative (no symptoms at all for me). Of course my rapid was positive. Shocked, I called my wife to tell her to go do a rapid test. She did and was also positive (again no symptoms). We both do PCR tests that also both came back positive. Meanwhile the 7 year old's PCR test comes back negative. 14 days later as we are prepping him to go back to school my wife is talking to the nurse for the 3rd party that is managing the school's Covid response and the nurse says, "most likely your 2nd grader gave it to both of you, we see family after family where mom/dad/older siblings test positive but the 12 and under kids never test positive after having maybe a night of waking up feeling sick or a bad afternoon and are better the next morning." Moral of the story you and your wife should definitely get checked.
  8. We submitted through our bank's portal last week. They (the bank) has 60 days to review and pass a recommendation to the SBA who will have another 90 days to review before a final decision.
  9. Thank you. Do you know if this will be accessible after the event? Can't do that time today unfortunately.
  10. Sweet return. Near the end it looks like there are at least 20 players for each team on the field. Amazing he made it through.
  11. About 10 years ago I finally came to the realization that the Cowboys had become the Raiders with Jerry taking the role of Al Davis. Entertaining from time to time but never will be a real threat for winning consistently. I still watch the games if nothing else is going on and even hope that they win but I have no expectations whatsoever. Really like Dak and hope that his career doesn't end up being wasted. Last night when they opted for a 58 yard FG down by 25 rather than going for it was my signal it was time to turn the TV off. At least the horns have been disappointing for a decade also so I have that going for me.
  12. Went to the Stanford vs OK State Fiesta Bowl several years ago (my 9 year old at the time was a big Andrew Luck fan) While there walking through the concourse saw Jim Plunkett taking a pic with an elementary aged OK State fan holding a sign that said, "My dad's secretary went to Stanford". Pretty funny visual as the kid surely had no idea who Plunkett was and Plunkett had full failed smile.
  13. So, my son has football game scheduled for Friday night in Beaumont. Any thoughts of how likely that may be?
  14. So La Joya has two 6A high schools (LJHS and LJJuarez-Lincoln) and also a 5A (LJ Palmview) high school. The town's population shows to be around 4,500 people. How is that possible?
  15. Hopefully when baseball season ends, globe life will stop sponsoring this and it will die an abrupt death.
  16. 60% 80% 100% of those girls can no longer gain acceptance to the 40 acres so the daily talent parade will unfortunately be lost for the foreseeable future. I, for one, do not think this makes us a better university on the balance. and 2,3,1,4,5
  17. Back in the day, MNF was the highlight of the football week. It's certainly lost some magic but we'll always have Cosell and Dandy Don.
  18. You lost me right here. ha ha It's like you've never been here before
