  1. Saw some of this over the weekend. The thing that strikes me as a bit odd is that even if she gets in the wrong uber car at 3 am, I think/hope that 99.9% of the population would stop significantly short of murder and dump the body. Really terrible coincidence to get the wrong .01% of the population pulling up at the same time you are expecting your Uber. Very sad for her family.
  2. We adopted a golden retriever a few years back and found out it had worms a few months later. We ended up paying more than you mentioned. I can't remember exact amount but I am thinking 600-800 range. Biggest hassle was there is a window of the treatment where you are supposed to keep the dog calm ( no running / jumping, etc.) so that the worms don't dislodge and cause a stroke or something like that. 3 or 4 years post treatment now and all is A-OK. Good luck!!
  3. That seems like the kind of thing that someone does because they can get away with it. They (agents and studios) have created barriers to entry that they hold the keys to and force people to pay the toll to do business. In a related note, the United Brotherhood of 2nd Key Grip and assistant Best Boy and Gaffers union will be watching this closely I am sure. Will be interesting to see if any kind of real reform happens.
  4. I don't know if the video exists or if it could be accessed but it would be cool to have your dad describe famous plays, or even little known ones, (like in the 1st video) with a split screen of him discussing his recollection of the play on one side and the video of the play on the other side synced to his discussion. Thanks for sharing.
  5. Big whoop, I did a simple google search and found these... where's my prize?
  6. Chick-fil-A waffle fries are terrible. I extol the virtues of the rest of their menu but those fries are trash.
  7. Robert, thank you so much for your timely and relevant contribution. i'd like to reward your effort with this visual stimulation...
  8. Hilton Head was kind of a whip in my opinion. When I go to the beach my preference is for it to be uncrowded. HHI was almost elbow to elbow with our fellow vacationers. Making matters worse was it was a heavy dose of New York, Philly & Boston residents. We were there mid to late July timeframe 6 or 7 years ago. YMMV. I agree that North Myrtle Beach would be preferred over "regular" myrtle beach. Avoid Memorial Day weekend at all cost. Trust me!! Wrightsville Beach, Nags Head and Duck are also worth checking out.
  9. OP, what makes you want to buy the 85 year old house? Location, unique characteristics, or just wanting a fixer upper?
  10. I've seen it mentioned on here a couple of times that carrots are part of the list of OK foods for keto / low-carb. I have always thought of carrots as high carb / high sugar veggies. Kind of in line with Corn. is if offset by fiber in carrots? I really don't even like carrots was just surprised to see them referenced as keto / low-carb. What am I missing?
  11. I like the show. Certainly some holes in the plot, but they do a good job of going back and providing some details while not spoon feeding too much. Secretary/assistant is easy on the eyes, as is the wife. Glad the 2nd season is guaranteed. Biggest beating on the show is aging rocker guy, followed closely by his son.
  12. I guess I didn't really convey my meaning well in my first message. My daughter went through this process last year. Competitive high school in Dallas area, she was in the 15-20% class rank and had good grades and test scores (those are the hurdles I was referencing, NOT the 6% auto admit limit). My wife and her were both convinced she had no chance due to the top 6-7% issue and wanted to go down the pricey college advisor route, etc. Her counselor at school and I both just said focus on the essays and let it ride. She got her acceptance letter into the program of her choice in January 2018 (not business or engineering mind you). I think it was that I had her add "Hook 'em!!" at the end of her essay. She remains convinced it had nothing to do with it. YMMV. Good luck to your daughter and your wallet.
  13. I like the idea of the aptitude testing that might help uncover some programs you might not otherwise consider based on that aptitude more than paying someone to help navigate the murky waters of college admissions. Double that if it the primary goal is just to get into UT. Your daughter will either have the test scores / rank hurdles met or not, the $$$$ to a college guidance service won't influence those factors unless they somehow guarantee National Merit level scores the next time she take the SAT / ACT.
  14. Make sure to hit up Six Flags over Madrid while you're there.
  15. Looks like there are two Scott Smiths? One coached at Plano West for the last 4 years after being at Lake Highlands for several years before that. He went high school in Plano years ago. The other one coached at Duncanville, Permian, HP and Rockwall and most recently has been coaching at Houston Baptist. He went to high school at HP years ago. This the one who is now at the private school in Frisco. Not sure which one is the MF'r that wanted Longboard's brother to kiss his ass but was denied the pleasure.
  16. Another vote for the Breville. If space is an issue, move. if more than $100 is a problem, don't be poor.
  17. Ewok will win it. Hurdles to that were for us to beat them Saturday or for Tua to have a good / great night. Nope and Nope Agreed with all who have said, the Heisman was on life support after the Vince snub and then dead to me after Colt.
  18. May have already been covered, but in the postgame interview on TV Lincoln Riley was on the verge of tears while talking about what a difficult year it has been. WTF, you have had to “suffer” through having the best offense in the country while losing 1 game by 3 points. No significant injuries that I’m aware of. Other than realizing the stench of okie never washes off what has made his year so difficult? OU Sucks!! And I’ll have some of what kingkoopa6 is having.
  19. We should have run the ball on 2nd down and 25 with 2 mins in 2nd qtr and let clock run. We should have gone for it on 4th and 10 at their 40 with 1 minute left before half. The net 20 of field position was meaningless against OU. We needed more pressure on the Ewok, force his hand a little more. He picked us apart as it was. Finally, we should have run the TD play more frequently.
  20. Q. What can’t the horns give you change for a dollar? A. Because we don’t have 4 quarters. Amirite
  21. Good season. Met or exceeded most expectations. Fix the stupid losses and the sky really is the limit.
  22. Def wish we’d won, but I’m surprised many Texas fans had higher expectations for this season than to play for the conference title. Now, next season, the goal should be CFP. Feels like we are finally moving in the right direction
