  1. Through 2.5 episodes. Despite the difficult subject matter, im enjoying it. Questions im interested to find answers to: Early on in the initial interview he genuinely is adamant he didn't do anything wrong, but 7 mos in and he's still in jail (kid mental ward) and we've seen the video. Did the friend convince him to swap clothes and we find out he doesn't want to snitch? Seems like 7 mos in he would have broken. Did he actually do the deed? He seems way too smart to break bad, it just doesn't square. Will try and finish tonight
  2. I cut my brother off many years ago after a threat delivered in a phone call. We live in different states, but I refused to take his calls and blocked his # after the last threat. My dad financially supports him and he will inherit a 1/3 of the my parent's estate, with me and by brother as executors. That will a defining moment when he realizes he won't get a lump sum. He has been in and out of jail for various reasons, the most serious being purse snatching. He has slashed my ex-SIL's tires 2x, stole my mom's meds as she lay in hospice in my folks bedroom and overall been a menace since HS. He actually pulled it together to get a degree from UT-D after failing out of Texas. He's bipolar and the heavy drugs only added to the brain rot. He's on disability and bides his time in a small apartment in Bishop Arts, doing God only knows what with his time. He has been able to stay out of jail for several years and seems to be somewhat lucid. He talks to my dad weekly as that is his lifeline. Parents have the hardest time with it. I cut him off years ago from communication. When my dad does finally pass (he's 80), we'll cross that bridge. My gut tells me we will have an attorney be the go-between and we'll put him on a monthly stipend,but i know he's going to constantly be asking for more. He'll want to get a car and that may be his undoing. Following the Reiner murders has really struck close to home and at the risk of sounding callous, has been "comforting?" in my decision to refuse any and all interaction. My kids will ask where is Uncle X, they remember him vaguely as they were young, but now they are all late teens- early 20's and i explain it best i can without sounding like they would be in danger. It's just a risk I cannot subject them or my wife to.
  3. Really nice year in the market. 401(K) +20% depending on these last few days. Most other non-cash investments mirroring the S&P, so overall a good solid year. Im probably a little older than most on here, graduated Texas in '92. Im here to tell you younger guys, just stay the course. Put $50-$100, per week forever, whatever you can muster.... augment with consistent 401(K) contributions and pay yourself first when you get bonuses. As soon as your kid is born, open a 529 and seed with a couple grand. Then put $50 a week, you will never miss it. If you are lucky college will be paid for and with solid market gains, you will be good to go. Live good, but be smart....metaphorically "don't buy the couch" was advice a mentor of mine gave me 35 years ago. He meant it as a way to train me to be frugal but not dumb. Especially if you are married, pick your battles. Take care of your shit, it will last. Buy and hold your car, get it paid off, nix the Rolex, buy nice set of clubs and resist the urge to get a new driver every year. Keep track of your bills on a spreadsheet....handle all the bills and money yourself, don't delegate that shit out...you watch the money. Use Vanguard or some other low cost , low fee provider. I started saving and investing at 25, about 3 years out of Texas before I could start saving, up until that it was hand to mouth and where is the party?! When my generation was young all the books (Millionaire Next Door, 401(K) Millionaire , Dogs of the Dow etc..) all said if you follow a simple strategy of dollar cost averaging and consistently paying yourself first, you will be very happy by 60. Hard to be disciplined at that age when buddies were buying Rolex watches and leasing BMWs etc..but the system works. Just need to start, start now, be consistent and don't waiver. I only pulled out once, right after 9/11, but quickly got back in. Once kids and houses come in to play it gets harder but not impossible. Mrs JDhorn (no pics) and i have done well.... next year will mark 28 years with the same firm, slow and steady wins the race.... hopefully that advice will have an impact.
  4. What about HS early enrollees? I commented on @Im_smarter_then_you 's post that Cooper could not play, but maybe Im actually am not smarter than him
  5. Is Bryce Underwood playing in the game?
  6. Michael Terry was ranked a 5* athlete, I imagine he'll get touches at RB, as will Ryan Niblett. Between those two and the 2RB still on roster we will have 4 deep who can rush. What i don't have calculated is if this game will violate any RS participation max, as that would alter things. Overall Im really looking forward to a bunch of new faces getting PT.
  7. We have one committed to us right now. I think in time he’ll fit the mold you covet
  8. There were at least 2 walk in touchdowns missed with a drop or overthrow. There were another 4 at least drops in crucial down and distance moments with 10-20 yards of open field. I dont put that on Sark. Not saying completing half those plays makes us 10-2 or 11-1, but IMO Sark's offensive play calling is about 4th or 5th down the line....OL personnel, Mosely not seeing the field due to whatever, lack of quality RB depth, drops and flags are way up the list when writing the story of Texas this year IMO
  9. 9-3 in a 9 game SEC conference schedule is not the same as 9-3 in B12 or the previous SEC. what we are going to witness next year is unprecedented in college football. Spread 8 more SEC losses around this year and things would have looked a lot different. This is why there will be expansion to 16, no byes, first 2 rounds at home schools. 9-3 will be the new 10-2 imo.
  10. I like also the fact he’ll be 24 when the season starts next year with an ‘02 birth year. That maturity and experience, body development is hard to replicate
  11. We’re playing Michigan’s back up QB, so should even out.
  12. Ah the only comment needed reading that post….TAMU, where the women are champions and the men are cheerleaders
  13. Rpongett? HPSlugga, maybe BillinSinton?
  14. Dont believe he's Jewish anymore. COuld be wrong but i think hes a known atheist.
  15. no problems with the recline, just perfer the window up and am always a good row mate about it.
  16. You sound like a big pussy. "Oh im mad at the guy with the window cracked b/c i cant sleep on an airplane". What a complete pussy, give me a break. Nobody is flexing @Mittens on preferring the window over aisle. you and chewy sound like complete douchebags.
  17. Eh, get a window seat then. Im Courteous about it…with my Delta status im boarding pretty early. 7am flight Window is down until we take off. No one is alseep when we’re rumbling down the runway at 400mph and the constant intercoms with baggage reminder , pilot hello, flight attendant safety alert etc… i can crack the window enough to not be “that guy” and still not feel like we’re all in a coffin
  18. I used to be an aisle seat guy. I lfy damn near every week for business, now Im full window. Too many people these days are flying with the window down. Early morning flights or when the sun is out, its hot out , you name it....too damn dark and it can get a bit claustrophobic. Especially if I dont have a tight connection, window is it for me. Then when the plane gets to the gate and the ding event occurs, dont have to worry about standing for 5 minutes and if someone beats you to the spot, you are waiting in your seat anyhoo. I have found people in the row(s) behind me are very deferential to letting me out no problems. With the window seat, you can hide your backpack or soft briefcase easier from the flight attendants watchful eye, under your calves and not have to lose the leg room. Open and shut the window as i damn want. Recently had a Karen ask me to close it as soon as she sat down and I told her no, she asked to be moved, see you lady.
  19. Tell me you don’t know the south without telling me. I’m mean you only need one billionaire. I know for a fact there are at least 3 people in Mobile /Baldwin County alone who are members of Augusta. There’s more money there than you know. There’s a difference between rich and wealthy, there’s some wealth at the beach, Point Clear, Mountain Brooke etc.. Per capita, that isn’t bad for a “poor broke ass state” to have 3 guys who fly there at 9 and be on the tee box by 11. You just need one big cigar. I’m sure there’s more than one in Bama.
  20. Would Brad Spence also fit in this mix? I dont recall exactly where he played last year, DE or OLB, but might he fit the Trey Moore role of LB for us next year?
  21. I hope this is the type recruit that eats rocks for 2 years and blows up like countless OU LB's that grow into mini-Boz by the time they are JR/SR and get all the airtime on the Red River telecast.
  22. Insert Freddy Adu as a counter. Anyone here old enough to remember this too-good to fail phenom?
