  1. When I think about the leadership in Kerr County, the first thing my mind jumps to is DEI.
  2. I’m the definition of generic white guy, a moniker that my wife has bestowed upon me with affection, and I also don’t get it. It’s just a lack of humanity to me.
  3. I didn’t realize that she actively preached. I always got the impression that she was more involved in pastoral counseling than preaching. As a disaffected churchgoer, I’m curious what denomination she preaches in if you’re comfortable sharing that info.
  4. What the fuck? Is this dude having a mental break? That’s some sick shit.
  5. Don’t disagree with any of what you posted and my wife and I have had many conversations covering these exact points. Unfortunately, these aren’t my parents, it’s my in-laws and, while well intentioned and very kind and generous, are the most passive aggressive people I know. It’s an odd family dynamic that none of the kids feel comfortable having frank conversations with their parents. My wife is the baby, by a lot (she was a later in life ooops!), and is treated as such by the rest of the family despite her being the most assertive member of the family. As far as additional heirs go, none of the kids have children and won’t ever have kids (probably a lot to unpack there that out of three children none had children of their own). At some point if this issue doesn’t get worked out, the wife and I have discussed walking away from the house and letting her older sister just have it as she’s the only one of the three siblings that wants to hang on to it. It’s not worth it to us to create a tense family dynamic with her siblings. We’re already the black sheep of the family that don’t live in the PNW and don’t have a desire to do so.
  6. 3.5 years since posting and Dirty’s is still humming along and not a single shovel of dirt has turned. At this rate, Dirty’s might outlast Project Connect.
  7. El Paso is perfectly safe. Wife and I were there for a wedding not too long ago and stayed downtown. We walked around after dark and never felt unsafe.
  8. GTFOH with that shit. He had an agenda and that agenda wasn’t debating in earnest. This is some crazy sanewashing of what his “debates” were all about. Just listen to the clip of right before he was murdered where he interjects about gang violence when asked about mass shootings.
  9. Dude, you’re sanewashing. How are college tours spreading right wing propaganda “good to have?”
  10. The estate and the other side both have plenty of funds to make us whole. Our challenge is that the parents don’t look at it as a business transaction. They are very emotionally attached to the house and offend easy when it comes to having a conversation about why it doesn’t make sense for us to have an ownership stake in a lake house that requires a 5 hour flight and a two hour drive for us to use. For whatever reason, they don’t have the same attachment to their place in Hawaii or else that would be another conversation that would have to be had.
  11. I’ll be following to see how this plays out for you. Wife and I sit in your sister’s seat and would love to find a resolution where we don’t become co-owners of a lake house 2,000 miles away from us that we have no interest in having an ownership stake in. In general, we don’t want to be on the hook for maintenance and upkeep on a house that we visit maybe once per year, but her parents are adamant that the house be left to all of the children. We’ve tried to delicately approach the subject, but it has been a difficult conversation for us to have with her parents since they are very emotionally attached to the house.
  12. So sweet. Countdown to foster fail?
  13. Has Elon launched any penis rockets in the last 24 hours?
  14. The Gypsy Poet suggestion is a really great one. Fantastic pizza and it gives me an Austin vibe. Coincidentally, it’s located on Austin St. If the family goes to the HMNS (less than a block from the ZaZa), make sure they hit up the butterfly habitat. It’s an add-on to the general admission and well worth it.
