Not saying your cousin is one of us, don't know the guy at all. You will however get sound advice here from folks who know crazy, have seen crazy, and probably listen to crazy at least a couple of times a week. It's funny how I used to be the center of the crazy or felt a need to be surrounded by it, but now am the guy my normal friends come to when they need help with crazy. They must see the miracle of change better than I do because I know I still need to go to meetings weekly or I'll be the one they're talking about. Damn I'm grateful for another day sober.

I was thinking more, "when masturbation's lost it's fun, you're a fuckin alky". Wait what? Yeah, I had to get rid of an issue like that. Mind you, I drank hard because I was too big of a mess/pussy to leave on my own and forced her hand, but we seem to attract crazy in all sorts of forms when we are in the shit.

I've been lucky enough to be on vacation without the ability to watch any matches. I picked the right time to be out of touch with the world. Fuck Mo, I can't wait to watch his press conferences. I can only assume they've been very helpful for player moral and team building.

I've gone by what all 4 of my Dr friends showed me when they got there placements, plus a friend who recruits for a large hospital system. The ortho and the urologist each started out at 500k in Oklahoma and now pull in 1 million plus 7 years out of school. The anesthesiologist started at 400k and the one GP started in OKC at 300k, but has built a million dollar practice. The GP basically gets to pick and choose his patients, doesn't accept shitty insurance because there is such a demand for family Dr's in the Oklahoma City area. In 7 or so years he's at a place where he doesn't take new patients unless they are friends. It may be hard to recruit to some areas, the medicare/medicaid rates don't compensate what they should, as well as shitty insurance, but these guys have all been good business people. The recruiter never brings any GP into the system for less than 300k and that includes part of rural OK. Without going cloak on this, the system sucks and some Dr's get screwed, but this is a business. I don't feel bad for the money issue when this is your chosen profession. I'd love to go to law school and fight the good fight, but it doesn't the pay the student loans. You have to earn your place defending insurance companies, other shit corporate types, or have an established family practice to make a living starting out. There is also no guarantee that you will. Every Dr. I've known in America feels entitled that they're going to be very wealthy and that the system owes them. I've never met one that is willing to change the system or go against what possible future earnings are they believe are coming to them. Good on the ones that do, but I'd love for them to step up and be heard.

Who gives a fuck honestly. Dr's are one of the few professions that never have to worry about paying back student loans. You walk out of school making a minimum of 250k, and thats if you're a shitty GP in Oklahoma. I'll get excited when teachers, social workers, and other integral parts of society that don't get paid shit go to school tuition free.

Just brought tears man. Thank you for that. I spent the week in S.A. with my daughter who flew over from Spain with my ex wife. The first couple of years after the divorce were hard to be present because of the obvious distance, but my drinking went to 11, and I was drowning the pain of separation. Thanks to technology and the program, we have the best possible relationship we can. It's a miracle. Most people don't understand the connection that comes from being truly present and that we have can have such a bond even being so far away. The ability to be grateful for the moments I do get and truly making each moment count is pure joy and love. We are damn lucky. Prayers for your boy. Hope is a beautiful thing.

Except he knows that can't happen because his cabinet if full of ass kissing equally corrupt cronies. All of his schtick is tired and disingenuous.

Sucks for KDB, he's class. While tremendously talented, I'm waiting for Mahrez to start acting like the whiny cunt he is. It's only a matter of time until he gets his feelings hurt and acts out. Pep don't play with that shit. He is incredible at keeping his young stars heads in check, but Mahrez will be a test for him.

I see the future anytime from Trumpkins when Brennan speaks out. "He's the only former CIA director to have his clearance revoked!" "He has no authority to speak and proven to be un-American!" "No credibility! Sad!" These fuckers do anything to believe that Cheetolini, and only Cheetolini, speaks the truth.

He's a great man manager and that is fine for short term, but that is not what United need right now. United are desperate for a guy who will come with a long term strategy. United and Barca are the only really big clubs that thrive off of home grown player development with big name additions. It's their identity. The turnover we're going through has to stop. Neville spoke about in the podcast I posted and he's spot on. If we go the way of Madrid or City, turning over teams every 4 or so years, we're fucked. Sure we can buy some titles, but that isn't who United are nor is accepted by the supporters. It's now or never to right the ship and only someone young like Pochettino or an unknown British guy are the way forward. There will be pain going forward with a rebuild, but better take the pain now for the sake of the club than be another Sheik/Rooskie/Chinese outfit. We're fucking United.

Didn't see another San Antonio thread. Taking my 9 yr old daughter on an extended weekend this week. Last minute trip and something different as I have never been to SA either. Only plan I have so far is Alamo/Riverwalk Schlitterbahn on Monday Looking for food, Tex Mex obvi, but she's an adventurous eater and will try anything. It doesn't have to be kid oriented, but I'm not taking her to high end steak house. Is there a farmers market worth checking out? Best tamales or local specialty? Anything that will be a memorable/unique experience for a little girl? Bi-lingual family, her first language is Spanish if that helps get her somewhere cool. We are both blonde haired blue eyed aryans, but mama is the Latina. She's dying to go to Mexico, but I'm not taking her to Laredo.

CSB Have a friend who lives in a village outside of Genoa and takes that bridge to work daily. Spoke to him about 45 minutes ago as he was heading home on the old mountain highway. Normally he's a jovial little Italian fucker with a high pitched voice. Dude sounded like Ben Stein. Never heard someone in shock like that before. That bridge is very busy and it's absence will fuck up a lot in the city.

http://www.secondcaptains.com/2018/08/10/episode-1236-gary-neville-and-second-captains-premier-league-night-with-cadbury-2018/ Great shit right here. Interview with Gary Neville on the best soccer podcast known to man. All things United, and great insight from someone who know's his shit.

Same shit different year. Pogba is lost and lazy. Lukaku can't finish his chances. Alexis kill attacks going forward by taking the ball into the middle every damn time. Our defending is atrocious. De Gea is our lord and savior. God bless the Spaniard and Real Madrid for choosing the wrong keeper to buy. Fred looks like he could be a spark, but I am weary of getting too excited. Mika looked like a genius at the beginning of last year. Happy for Shaw to get a goal, but he had a 10 minute spell that should have cost us. 2-0 is great for the points but it should've been 1-1 draw or worse. We have all the talent in the world, but we do not look like United. This season will be another grind. I might as well just start watching mid table Serie A matches and fall asleep in the middle (Forza Grifone! Genoa Genoa Genoa!). Fuck me.

Looks the same squad as last year. I can't stand this shit style and Mo. There are going to be some painful watches mid season. Fuck my football watching life.

Understatement of the last two seasons. I'd say at least 25.

Standard United kit is Red White Black I'm not sure how I feel about this version. It's not bad. We've worn Red-Black-Black in the past, but mainly in Europe.

Wolves are the sleeper of the year. Way too low on those rankings. Half the damn Portuguese national team are on that squad. They'll be salty

Come on United! I pray to the football Gods that Fred is worth shit, Pogba keeps his value to sell next year, and we find a defense somehow. Thats all I ask today. Greatest day of the year. Fuck Friday matches they shouldn't ever happen, but whatever, United are on. The pride of all England, the cock of the North!

Manure? Really? I've never heard that one before, but it's sad. So happy the PL is back. Let's get this shit on! Alexis was horrible last season. He is the greatest of all time doing the same thing over and over. Get ball out wide left, immediately cut inside, kill all space in the middle, stop flow of attack, then run like mad to gain back possession. At least he hustles I guess. I miss Mika, but Jose didn't like him and he wasn't happy. Sucks. The deal was kind of a wash to me. This whole squad will have to be changed again when Jose leaves.

I have come to realize their defense strategy is have his attorneys admit to the crimes one by one so we just get overwhelmed and don't care anymore. It has worked with propaganda and getting people to believe the policy lies, but I have pray it doesn't work with the law. I love following this stuff, but the "wow! this is unbelievable!" shock at admitting to crimes has worn off. The case is so massive I forget some of the shit that happened.

Good stuff. It's amazing how it works. We were reading the part at the end of Bill's story where he talks about fellowship/AAs all around us the other day in a meeting and it hit me. I sure as shit wasn't a believer in God when I first came in, and still don't care much for organized religion, but I'll be damned if everyone at that beginners meeting, especially the anxious new folks struggling to sit still aren't a little piece of God. There's hope in those rooms and I can feel it all around. When I'm worrying about some work/external bs and look at men/women who a few days ago had been overwhelmed with despair, hopelessness, or whatever horrible thoughts brought them in to seek something different, it makes my soul happy. Hope and the will to live is a beautiful thing, especially when you know what the other side looks like. Much love.

Ha! I wish I was that clever. I'm all in though. If any fanbase could do it, it would be United. The forming F.C. United of Manchester is still one of the most beautiful things I've ever witnessed in professional sports. I hate that the Glazer cunts own United, but such are the times. For the most part, all of the big clubs now have shit ownership, but it beats a sheik or a dirty Russian. Hehe. If we have a slow start to the campaign it will get ugly fast.....and Jose will blame the players and lack of transfers. I love his cockiness, but his lack of willingness to take responsibility for anything is insufferable. I hope money starts pouring in.

I love Valencia, he is the man, don't get me wrong. My point is how long can he continue to play the minutes he does and still be effective. Mo has killed Luke Shaw, but brought in shit with Lindeloff (I don't care how its spelled, he sucks), and doesn't know how to build talent. Home grown talent mixed with big purchases are the hallmark of United and Mo really doesn't care to continue that culture. He wants "professionals" he can just plug and play his boring football. He was never a good fit and can't wait for this era to be over. I understand he brought some standing in the transfer market after VanGaal, but it was always going to be short term. Leave that revolving door shit for smaller clubs, this is United. Evra's years of passion and great play are the only thing that has almost allowed me to forgive him for his Champions League debacles against Barca. He was awful in those two finals.

WTF is a "Bold"? As in, Bold decision to have a team play in the sticks? Bold and terrible color scheme? Wow
