  1. I grew up dipping my CFS with gravy in ketchup and then one day the thought of replacing the ketchup with cholula hit me (alcohol may have been involved) and it was like and I grew up in the greater Brownwood region FWIW.
  2. Where did you find them?
  3. Planning to spend a couple of weeks in Scotland / Ireland this Summer with my wife and our 3 kids (2 in college and a 10 year old). Trying to figure out lodging, probably easiest to rent an apartment instead of multiple hotel rooms. Is Airbnb and/or Vrbo the way to go or is there some Brit or Euro version that is a better source for me? I'm a bit afraid of getting scammed as I've seen a few listings noting "Hacked account / Fake listing". @txduck87 @Brisketexan @Chewbacca @Incredulity @Hagbard Celine Anyone else who has experience with Airbnb or Vrbo or Brit / Euro equivalent specifically in Scotland / Ireland, any guidance you can provide is appreciated.
  4. The lady in the office next to me has a family place on Dauphin Island. I can ask her for any pro-tips on that specifically. Generally, I would say that anything down that way (Miss / Bama / FL panhandle) the weather can be a complete crapshoot for Spring Break. Your "beach" vacation could be exactly what you think of (nice weather, etc.) or it could be 42 degrees and windy as hell. I've had both experiences down there at Spring Break and the bad weather variant really puts a damper on the week.
  5. Sounds like he ( and some other Surly spawn) is taking the right approach. Wherever they end up, do your best, have fun, and then go be a self sufficient, good citizen!!
  6. I was waiting for at least one of them to look at the camera and bust out laughing when they mentioned Kyler Murray as a possibility to join their fraternity.
  7. Checked and didn't see this posted anywhere. Apparently this has been out for about a year, but i saw it randomly last night and thought it was great. 7 of the 10 guys who are Heisman winners and Pro Football Hall of Famers sit down to have a discussion. Obviously seeing Earl is awesome, but the others are cool to see also. Just a bit over an hour and worth it!!
  8. Wasn't it something on Austin360 or something like that? I'm thinking back to '96, '97 range probably.
  9. What is the point of her working and earning very little? I get if she was a caretaker of minor children, but if your youngest is 22 it does seem like there could be a bit more of a contribution to the resolution of this situation. Are there extenuating circumstances that make the work she is currently doing, all she can do? I get that she may have gotten used to not "having" to contribute to cover "needs" but the circumstances seem to have changed significantly.
  10. Could you just set up a GroupMe group with all employees?
  11. Not normally an advocate of ducking obligations but cutting up the credit cards and stop making payments toward that debt might not be the worst decision you've ever made. When they eventually call you to collect you can explain that you do not have the money to pay them but you would consider trying to pay some "settled" amount in exchange for forgiveness of the rest of the obligation. Let them twist for a bit (months most likely and when they reach out again make the same offer). I'm not sure exactly what that process would look like but I know they can't throw you in jail, take your house or dock your pay over unsecured consumer debt. Are these cards issued through your bank or just the Citibank, Capital One's of the world? It would certainly kill your credit but if you already have your house financing secure and reliable transportation, or the ability to pay cash for cars in the near future, I would think you'd survive and have a monthly surplus of 1,600 instead of a deficit of 1,300. ALL OF THIS PRESUPPOSES THAT YOU ARE NOT CONTINUING TO SPEND MORE THAN YOU BRING IN!!! I don't have any idea what effect this strategy might have on the FAFSA / Financial aid for your college student. Is the son, spawn of both you and your wife, or just you and an ex? Sorry you're in that spot and good luck!!
  12. Maybe I am misunderstanding what NoName is trying to say but I think DVR should be replaced with VOD (Video on Demand) throughout that explanation. Either way, the concept he describes is correct. Your goal is to watch the versions you have recorded so you can skip the commercials.
  13. My uncle gave me this calendar for Christmas 1986. April and especially February are most etched in my memory. That water droplet (you'll know it when you see it) was of particular interest to me. Sad day if SI is really done. Not so much for the current content but for the memories it holds in our collective minds. My 10 year old has been going to the mailbox looking for it every day even though I have told him it's probably not arriving. Was the final episode the Michigan over Washington cover?
  14. The guy in the office next to me is reasonably high up the chain of BMD's for A&M. As an example, we are in Dallas and Bjork came to our office to meet him on the day his hiring was announced. Immediately after that meeting my co-worker came in to my office and said, "we've made a huge mistake, that guy is an idiot!!" ha ha He's happy to have him gone.
  15. https://www.sportsmediawatch.com/2024/01/amazon-bally-sports-streaming-deal-diamond-sinclair-rsn-bankruptcy/ Amazon investing in Diamond / Sinclair / Bally, etc. Expected to begin distributing their content via a prime video channel (subscription required).
  16. Is Core Teamer new, or just new to me? EDGE 😄
  17. So Oregon (lost twice to Wash) is 2nd Georgia just lost to Bama is 3rd Bama who lost to Texas is 5th Texas is 6th beat Bama and who just lost to Washington (beat #2 Oregon twice) who was 2nd and is now 9th Penn State is 7th lol I know this poll has its place, but the snapshot from today seems out of touch
  18. I think that is the tough part. These protests can't start as a few hundred that grow to a few thousand. They need to start as at least tens of thousands growing to hundreds of thousands. Anything less and they all just get arrested. Building the initial tens of thousands without being ratted out is close to impossible. Really sad situation for the average Russian and I can see how many just choose to flee if they have the means, or just keep their head down and hope for this to end. Obviously I know there are shitbird Russians who support Putler, but there are also a lot who just don't know what else to do but try to keep living their life and hope they see the end of this before their life is destroyed.
