Ok so painting went way better than expected despite substantial frustration on my part. Again, I am a perfectionist and she is fuck it we will figure it out and fix whats wrong when its all over. Not exactly a good home repair match made in heaven. Nevertheless kitchen looks great. I really thought this would be train wreck from the start. She got 5 or 6 samples from Lowe's and proceeded to slap some on every wall in the kitchen so that there was no way this project wasn't moving forward. The focal point of the kitchen is a wall that had some grease spots on it that prompted this project in the first place. After just beginning to paint that wall it starts to peal and bubble. Professional painter was called 30 min into project. He is a friend of mine so at no charge he came and saved her ass by floating the wall and giving instruction on future bubbling. Anyway kitchen looks fantastic much to my surprise. We were basking in the glow of our accomplishment sipping wine on the couch watching a movie in satisfaction and exhaustion and then this beautiful conversation occurs. Mrs. UTEX90: I don't like the rug in the kitchen. Me. The one you just bought Friday and sent me to pick up? Mrs. UTEX90: Yes but it was second hand and only $80.00. How do you like this one? [Showing a pic on her phone] Me. What are you going to do with the one we just bought? Mrs. UTEX90: Probably give it to Goodwill. I'm starting to simmer. At the same time, Little Miss UTEX90 is sitting down to soup at the kitchen table. We just bough the table that morning (Sunday) from a guy who refinished it. Neither of us loved the table but we will throw a table cloth on it and make due until we can agree on one. We have been looking for 6 months and I am being picky. Me to Little Miss UTEX90: "Use a place mat at the table for your soup and drink. Mrs. UTEX90: What does it matter the table is a piece of shit? Me. Why the fuck did we buy the damn thing then? Mrs. UTEX90. We needed a table for Thanksgiving. Me. Well maybe we can sell it after Thanksgiving to someone else, there is no point in ruining it. Mrs. UTEX90. I would be embarrassed to sell that table for $20.00. Me. YOU JUST PAID ALMOST $200.00 FOR IT THIS MORNING. Put the rug on your resale site for $80.00. After Thanksgiving put the table on the resale site. Don't fuck it up worse in the meantime. TONE Between last night and this morning the rug is already sold for what we paid for the damn thing. Anyone want a poorly refinished round kitchen table? Couch is not for sale for obvious reasons.

My wife is painting the kitchen today in advance of us hosting family Thanksgiving, which in and of itself is stupid enough, but please stand by for future entries.

Wrong? I think we would all knight him. Or make him King. This shit makes me want Tyrian Lannister's ass to be the last seated on the iron throne.

And solicitors. Yesterday a guy rings my doorbell and dogs go apeshit. I am working from home so this is huge annoyance. I go to the door and there is guy holding a clear tub with a UNICEF sticker on it and a few dollars in his bucket saying he is collecting donations for UNICEF. Why would anyone put cash in a tub for some teenager? I can just go online and donate to any charity I want and be certain they actually receive the money and I have a paper trail of the donation. I am all for kids trying help out for charitable purposes but going door to door isn't the way to get it done. I'm damn sure not donating cash to some teenager's drug fund. GTFO.

It's like taking the icing off of a cupcake and putting it back and saying you didn't have one.

Went duck hunting his morning around Halls Bayou. Got two gadwalls and that was it. Plenty of birds flying but not many decoying.

Good luck to the young fellow. Some of the best days of my youth were spent waterfowling.

My daughter (no pics) is going to graduate in May and has been offered a job in Chicago. She is super confused about whether or not to accept the offer. It is a fair starting salary for Houston, Austin, or Dallas but I am concerned about the cost of living in Chicago as well as safety of a 22 year old moving north to a new city without knowing a soul. I am also not happy about the prospect of her being so far away but I guess we have to let them find their own way. I am certain she will get homesick but I want her to make her own decisions. I had never been to Chicago but went for 5 days this summer as a tourist. The weather was perfect every day we were there which I hear is a rarity. I had a blast other than being berated by some little shits on the subway but other than that I felt safe and the city was really nice. I would love any input from someone who has lived in the city can give me.

Coming into a thread with 69 pages certain that this has all been discussed but not having time to read the whole damn thing. (I am sure I will make some of you surly for doing this) Kids running around outside in socks without shoes. Little sayings printed as art decor all around the house. Opening the garage and finding the refrigerator open and 100% denial by the entire household that anyone got anything out of it. Finding a half drank soda or Gatorade in the house or fridge. People bitching on Nextdoor about how people drive in the neighborhood. Having to repeat myself. My dog continuing to bark after I get home when he can see it is clearly me and not an intruder. Big women in little shorts. Finding mold on cheese or bread. Putting utensils in the dishwasher handle down so they have to fondle the eating end when putting them back in the drawer. Not being in complete control of the remote. Someone sitting in my spot on the couch. Not being able to understand someone at a drive through window. Having unsolicited newspapers thrown in my yard. The "My Pillow Guy." People who get married during hunting and football season. (Not so trivial) Chit chat conversation. (And the people who want to continue it long after I have tuned out.) Finding a typo on something that was already sent. People who gossip. The price of bottled water in stores and tea in a restaurants.

I'll have to take your word for it. I'm not going back.

Truth. Makes me wonder how they hide all this shit from recruits so they actually don't see what the city is like. I was there for 48 hours and was in fear for my life about 8 of them.

The A in the aTm is killing me. I need a shirt like that to give to relatives for Christmas.

This is what I am hoping. Still think it may be USC but one can dream

This would have been a more productive use of time. Thankfully though, she keeps this task in regular rotation. She watched me install it. Made fun of me for being so meticulous about it. She plugs the damn in every weekend.

This was the activity at my first Cub Scouts meeting. I quit the next day.

Wife decided to trim the hedges on her day off while I was at work. She proceeded to tangle and cut the electrical cable to the covered patio I had built. Took me 2 hours to run the electrical line because I wanted it unseen! I am meticulous and she is spontaneous. Still trying not to get mad because she DID trim the hedges but FUCK!

I hate doing this but it has worked for the last 4 games. Baylor 38 Texas 30
