  2. My wife sells stuff on WhatNot. I think that's what it's called. Her niche, so to speak, is Disney and Harry pansy pussy Potter stuff. She does ok as a hobby; however, those that do it full time probably rake in some cash.
  3. I've had many a sports injury - 2 ACLs, 2 broken ribs, dislocated foot/ankle, broken wrist, dislocated shoulder twice, herniated disc in my back a couple of times. I think it's perfectly ok to get doped up for a few days when recovering. It's 2024. I want to think most doctors will understand the length of time a painkiller is needed, then cut it off after that point. I state this because in Knoxville, I had a doc that would - quite literally - just fill prescrips left and right as needed. I seem to recall his degree was from Guadalajara or somesuch. Luckily for me, I don't have an addictive personality or genetic disposition for such, so I could easily walk away. I can see how those with that kind of disposition can get easily addicted. Anything over 2 weeks, IMO, needs remediation.
  4. Got you for 3 bricks. Thanks for helping those in need.
  5. Yes sir. A female friend and I were looking for an apartment one year. Long story short, she had the cash and credit score, so she got more of the say-so. One of the spots we looked at was a block from the field. I damn near resorted to begging her to pick this spot. I did get a cool pic one time of Troy, Aikman, and Irvin standing side-by-side from about 5 feet back once. I need to see if I can find that.
  6. Lol. I brought this play up to Carl Eller once on a business trip. He's still pissed about it. Said Pearson interfered. I argued for a second before I realized he was about to beat my ass.
  7. Does 8-10, 19-13 get us in assuming we win out at home, lose out on the road, and lose a 1st round game in the Big 12 tourney? I just realized that the top 10 teams make the Big 12 tourney. I'm perfectly fine to be corrected, but I feel like that would make the decision somewhat easy on the NCAA. Take the teams that make the tourney unless the 9th or 10th seed loses badly in the 1st game. I believe 7 plays 10 and 8 plays 9.
  8. Cool. The one time a year that I root for the effing Vols they do this.
  9. Lol. @Jameslaw121
  10. Good Lord Disu.

  12. My wife asked for laundry service for Xmas. FWIW, I do my own laundry; she takes care of her laundry and both kids. I believe we sent in about 10-12 bags. The cost was $350 including tip. I guess it was worth it; however, instead of having my wife's closet full of unwashed clothes, we now have a room full of washed and neatly folded clothes at the foot of the bed.

    Getting old sucks

    I couldn't remember the GD Netflix password the other night despite the fact that, I've entered it at least 400 times over the past few years. It's my youngest son's birthday. It's only 4 digits long.
  14. If this turns out to be some sort of supernatural series, it's really going to piss me off given all the references to the first season. If you're going to go that route fine, I guess, but take away all the Blair Witch toys and reindeer antlers.
  15. Cool. As a Narcos superfan, I'll have to give this a shot.
  16. So, yes. I was trying to impress a girl at the local rec in middle school, and broke her nose in the same manner
  17. Excellent analogy.
  18. Every female (and most of the males) are absolutely miserable. Do Inuit women ever smile or do they just sit around humming all the time? There are exactly 2 1/2 redeeming characters on the show - bar owner, kid cop, and pothead, ex prof. I thought Lafonda was going to step out of the plane as dad cop looked exactly like Kip. /random thoughts from a flu-riddle brain
  19. I'm sorry to hear that brother. I damn near teared up reading it. I hope the best for you.
  20. Lol. I just now saw the last 2 mins and assumed Abmas had 50 pts. Well done Max.
  21. Thanks for the advice. I have such weird physical reactions to medicine, that I'm incredibly averse to taking anything. My doc put me on something about a year and a half ago. It may have been Clonazepam as that sounds familiar. I ended up losing about 10 lbs due to severe nausea that lasted the entire 2 months I took it. As I mentioned, I do consider myself very lucky. Especially after reading some of the other posts. My family life is great. I'm financially secure. Hell, despite my admissions, even my job isn't too bad. I'm just at a crossroads as a teacher, and am worried about being burnt out in a field in which I'm stuck.
  22. I'll try to make this short as it's my first foray into this thread. I feel for those on this thread that are dealing with death and more serious issues. My thoughts and prayers, though I'm not particularly religious, go out to y'all. My anxiety lately has been through the roof, and I cannot explain it. I read somewhere that one is basically set, personality-wise, by the time they're 25. Until about 5 years ago, absolutely nothing would have caused me any stress or lose sleep. Hell, I went through a 5 year custody battle over my daughter and rarely lost a minute of sleep. It kind of motivated me. I'm very, VERY lucky in that I never get depressed. I have extreme empathy for those that do get depressed when things go south. Thankfully, that's not me. When I moved back to the Dallas area 7 years ago, I had an incident which seems to have triggered some sort of non-stop anxiety train. I'm a teacher. Long story short, I had a principal that had given me nothing but high marks for 2 years. In the spring of my 2nd year, my writing students took a "mock STAAR" test to prepare for the real one. In a low income school, our results were 1 percentage point below the district average (suburban DFW). (Side note: both math and reading scores in my departmentalized grade were lower than this.) All of the sudden, I'm considered the worst teacher on the planet. Principal chewed me out. I had a nonstop line of school and district folks in my room to teach me how to teach. Since then, I just cannot handle any sort of criticism. I have extremely good relationships with my students and their families. My test scores are always fantastic. In all honesty, I cannot think of anything that would be a negative mark against me. But, I just can't handle anything that I perceive as criticism. Earlier today I took care of all 3 of the classes in my grade due to illness. I busted my ass and went FAR above and beyond what most would do. I get an email from my principal that has the tiniest hint of criticism, and here I am, up later than normal, drinking bourbon, and typing out personal stuff. Essentially, I sent my class to the computer lab with login codes that didn't work. I didn't need a page-long, fucking email about it. But, JC, how about just mentioning it in passing tomorrow and/or thanking me for taking care of all the extra shit today. According to my new Amazfit watch, my resting heart rate is 53. After receiving the email, it sat at 111 for over an hour. I love teaching, my students, and my families, but this crap is about to make me turn to driving a truck or somesuch. I'll stop the tl;dr now. Thanks for letting me vent. p.s. My doc put me on something 2 years ago for anxiety. it just made me nauseous for 2 months before I finally gave up on it. I'm not sure pharma is the right path for me.
  23. Thanks. I'll have to check it out.
  24. Earl is a badass, but slightly before my time. My first thought was of Butch Hadnot.
