    Commercials with a door bell ringing.  WTF, do commercial maker people not have dogs?

    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.

    Alright, Duck season Youth Weekend is just a couple of days away. This is the last year that my son has to participate as a shooter. There were some ducks in our wetland last weekend and this last cool front should have brought more, so looking forward to some smoking guns this weekend. 

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

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

    Columbus is a complete shithole full of rude idiots and fat, ugly women and I've made a terrible mistake?  Just spitballing.

    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.

    Man. I'm not sure how to interpret that...one would think that implies he already knows where he's going if they are positive they will have a decision after their final visit. I would *think* that means OU is just a fun trip since it was so recently added?

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

    Did not think trimming the hedges was going to be literal at first. 

    This would have been a more productive use of time.  Thankfully though, she keeps this task in regular rotation.

    Well if it was unseen then how is she to know that it was there?

    She watched me install it.  Made fun of me for being so meticulous about it.  She plugs the damn in every weekend.

  8. 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!

  9. This will probably not make anyone else's favorite but 1989 when Peter Gardere won the game we had no business winning was huge for me and many fellow students.  The 80s were rough for the die hard faithful but I will never forget winning that game or the 3 to follow.

    Really like Sam as a person and loyal Horn.

    But have strong concerns about his mental capacity at an elite D1 level.

    Saturday will tell us A LOT.

    This is where I am.  He needs this game as much as anyone.  He could grow a lot in minds and hearts with a solid performance.    I'm not confident but I'm hopeful.
