  1. I’m almost to the stadium. Sitting a few sections over in 13. How does this work? I yell Muledick when it gets quiet enough? PM if have any interest in a beer with a fellow Stros fan.
  2. We were sent to La Castela (http://restaurantelacastela.com/) based on a recommendation from a Madrileño we met during some other travels who said it was his favorite restaurant. Take recs from the waiter based on what's good. We were the only tourists there, and it was probably the best meal we had while in Madrid. It's a tapas bar in front, with restaurant in the back. I would say skip the tapas bar to save room. I've sent others who had similar experiences. Madrid has a bustling live music scene, and it's a good way to do as the locals do. We went to a place called Cafe La Palma that was really cool. Obviously you would just need to check schedules of places when you're there. Suggest doing a guided food tour in San Sebastian. There are hundreds of tapas places, and of course not all of them are good. We did a private tour. The guide takes you to the best places, orders their specialty, takes care of paying, etc. The history lessons while walking around are of course an added perk. I could go on. We spent a month in Spain for our honeymoon. Such a badass place. Eat all the jamon iberico de bellota.
  3. I'm stuck here in Dallas. Will be sporting my Stros gear tomorrow and Saturday. Section 13 tomorrow, not sure on Saturday yet.
  4. Same problem here. My small workaround was to go to my most frequented threads (LOL pics, Holy Shit pics, stupid shit wives do, etc) on my phone, then emailed links to those threads to myself. Now I just go to the email and can navigate to the front page of those threads. Obviously still sucks as it's no help for visiting new threads, but it's somethin'.
  5. I'm a complete amateur in this arena. Grew up mowing lawns and basic landscaping, but never had to "care" for my own. Fast forward and I just moved into my first house. The backyard is in very bad shape. I will be hiring somebody to help me level the lawn. Not sure whether I'll have them do sod as well or if I'll take that on. My first question is in regard to these little piles of excavated dirt that are everywhere (see below). A little googling seems to infer they are just from earthworms. I would assume that would be a good thing? My concern is that they are infant graboids that will eventually grow up and devour my family.
  6. I have kind of the same issue, but noticed that the only part of the site that is blocked is the LULZ home page. I can go to any other page, and I can visit threads in LULZ via direct links that I emailed myself from my phone. Don't know if there is something on the LULZ home page that raises a red flag, but just FYI.
