  1. Not even enough hair for the cotton candy combover. SAD!
  2. I had a couple of random hookups like that in college
  3. Pretty much in my family they go hand-in-hand. I am not paying for my kid to go to an out of state school or private school just for some “college experience”. If they have a legitimate reason, eg a particular career path or pathway to a prestigious grad school that a given university would facilitate, we will definitely take that into consideration. Some of the SEC schools will give highly qualified Texas HS graduates in state tuition, so there is some leeway with that. In addition to college having gotten so expensive, for grants and government subsidized loans, the parents’ financial statements are required, even if the parents are not supporting the child, I think up to age 23 at least. So a kid trying to do it on their own could end up with a crushing amount of debt
  4. They don’t participate in CAP. It is a great institution in its own right, especially for STEM. Richardson is a lot cheaper than Austin, and they give really good scholarships.
  5. Do you currently have any kids in college, or recently graduated?
  6. If they are paying their own way or have scholarships to cover the whole nut, they can go wherever they want. Otherwise, my wife and I definitely have a say. Not sure I’ve met a parent who felt otherwise
  7. Won’t those all have an automatic sell trigger if it drops below a certain point?
  8. I’m old enough to remember when people lost their shit the first time Reagan gave a salute.
  9. Given when his injury occurred this is expected
  10. And if you worked shift work, either coming or going at least half the people headed the other way were drunk
  11. Definitely the chemicals. I was watching a show in college about superfund cleanup sites and one of the areas they panned across was where we crabbed 😳
  12. If he leaves Chicago, he’s headed down to New Orleans
  13. Did you point out that, while fairly feminine, he just wasn’t feminine enough?
