Biggest high school in Fort Worth, but this was over 35 yrs ago. Probably 50% white, other 50% were black/mexican/other Great mix of socials/athletes, stoners, ropers Great times

He came off sounding like a prick, which was a little off-putting. Normally seems like class act, but was a little prissy today

I did do a bad job of writing there What I meant was, I’ll take highs of 108/109/108, anyday, rather than highs of 30/29/30.....over 3 days. Cold weather sux

108/109/108 in Benbrook I’ll take that any day, before 30/29/30 But 80/80/80 would be pretty kick-ass

Saw this segment on the news tonight.....her smile, and genuine joy, were downright awesome. I hit record to show to my 2 kiddos tomorrow.

Indeed I am, but, after 54 years, I’ve met many “transplants” that are a helluva lot better Texans, than the trashy “natives” that we run across daily.

You summed up the way I feel about dipshits that boast that they’re a “Native Born Texan” No one, other than that dumbass, gives a shit that he/she was born here.

NFL - Would never miss a Cowboy game (1-15 or 15-1, doesn’t matter) - I’m a useless human on Sunday’s, because football is on until 3:30 games are over. Will watch 7p game if compelling NHL - I always know standings, watch about 1/4 of Stars games live, rest of games I record, then fast forward until crunch time. Playoffs live MLB - always know standings, will watch last couple of innings of Ranger games if close. Playoffs live (though obviously rarely happens) NBA - meh.....Mavs games pretty much same as Rangers I’d never miss a Texas game, not even for wedding or funeral Guess my response doesn’t even address OP’s point.....so I’ll add that my guy friends probably would answer the same as I did

The Shield The Sopranos Breaking Bad I’ve never seen The Wire, but have heard of it’s greatness.

Lotta sunglass snob / Tom Cruise wannabe’s on here. Just grab a few pair of Vans, and be done with it.

I wasn’t trying to be an ass with my question.....I just get a little thin-skinned sometimes. After 27 years, have had a few self-proclaimed “victim of the system” types call me “government man,” and crap like that. My bad

Curious.....what jobs qualify as “small government types?”

This is a great topic, and sorry for being wordy. In my line of work, you don’t get rich, but our retirement is kick-ass, and guaranteed by law. Guaranteed monthly income + free health insurance for life (same plan we have now). Our retirement is “rule of 75,” so I’ve been eligible for the last 2 years. If I retired today, my monthly income would be just a little less than I bring home now. However, my plan is to wait until summer 2024, and my monthly retirement income will triple. Reaching eligibility was a great feeling, but way too early to leave. I’ve had several co-workers retire upon eligibility, then are either bored or poor, and come back P/T.....definitely not my plan. I love yardwork, so what I’d like to do is get a couple more mowers/weedeaters/blowers, and get about 10 yards - just for pocket money. My brother and a few friends are all retiring around same age, so I hope/pray we start playing golf again, too. Gotta stay fairly busy.....can’t stand thought of sitting around the house.

I am indeed a cold weather pussy. In my building, A/C is so damn low, I keep my portable heater cranked up. My only point has been that it’s hovering in the upper 90’s, and people here in the metroplex are acting like the seal from hell broke. Guess I just have old man thin skin, and can tolerate heat, way more than cold.

As I said, I’ve lived in N. Texas (Fort Worth) all 54 years. Oh, and the actual hottest summer, 1980, I mowed lawns.....never saw any lawns catch fire. I wasn’t here to start a fight, was just making a point. Just never heard people bitch so much, so early in the game.

In 54 years, I’ve never heard more people bitch and moan about heat, more than I have this year. I’ve lived in N. Texas all these years, so yes, I do have the right to make fun of all the wussies, crying like bitches. Jesus, it’s not even hot yet. I’ll gladly take 110, doing full day of yard work, over 25, hanging Christmas lights. Toughen up, homos.

SIAP When it’s 90+ degrees, news anchors who feel the need to REPEATEDLY remind viewers to stay hydrated, wear light fitting clothes + hat, and to seek shade when you’re outside. They say this no less that 5 times during an hour show. I assume that an average news viewer is 20 or older, and if they’re too feeble minded to know the simple ways to keep cool on hot days, we’ll then...... Along the same lines, news constantly reminding viewers to wear life jackets when in pools, or out on the lake, and wear seat belts in the car. I guess it’s just too insulting to say, “look dumbasses, if you can’t swim, stay out of the water.” Do average citizens really need these elementary level reminders? Just let Darwinism work itself out

Mind blown (even worse when they use the hand gesture) bro / brah bae shade next level

Fort Worth, all 4 deceased, but..... dads side = Dowie & Papaw moms side = Grandma & Grandpa

Totally agree. I like Survivor, but I hope they eventually wake up, do away with teams, and just go individual from day 1. Oh, and do away with this ghost island type crap.

For those with the new update, I just figured out how to delete a series...this is how I did it. While on live tv - Menu - click left to Recordings, hit select button - hit select button on View Playlist - click left, and scroll down to Manage Recordings - hit select button, then scroll to Series Manager - scroll to show you want to delete, hit select button - click left to Series Options - it will then bring up the screen where you can click to Cancel Series, then hit select button

I have to give credit to my local Petco. About 6 months ago, they stopped asking that crap.....now, it’s just a yes/no question on the debit/credit card screen.

Anyone who actually has to take a “break,” after 9 holes of GOLF, is either an out of shape fat-ass, or a novice dumbass who doesn’t know how to sneak booze on to the course.

I need to embarrassed along with you on this. I’m a Ticket P1, but when I do listen to music on the radio, I prefer JackFM

I’m a terribly shallow motherfucker, and have never really considered these to be life’s “great questions.” Question #1 was answered after I found my first porn magazine.....probably around age 7 or so I’ve never once even contemplated question #2.......only dorks like Davey & Goliath think about shit like that As for question #3, I assume everyone has given this a tiny bit of thought at some point, but why the fuck worry about it? I figure as long as I don’t commit heinous crimes, I’ll probably end up OK.....maybe
