  1. I definitely want to do it and my wife (no pics) is on board. I’ve just never taken on a project like this before and not sure what the order of operations would be. Won’t even know for sure what all needs to be done until I lay eyes on it myself. Going to do some research on it. I feel confident about doing some of the mechanic and wiring work myself. I imagine this will be a project I complete a little at a time as budget allows.
  2. My Father-in-law is giving us his 59 Chevy pickup. He’s had it since he was a teenager and is only the second owner. Its currently in a friends garage in Georgia who’s worked on it here and there over the years. The guy is going into hospice so he’s got to get it and wants to go ahead and pass it down. I know it’s going to take some work and $$ but I’ve always liked the idea of something like this. From what he says, the engine still runs the body is pretty much ready to be assembled and painted. The cab is on it, from the pictures I’ve seen the bed needs to go back on. I know we’re looking at some work still but I’ve no idea what I’m getting myself into. I feel ok with doing some basic mechanic and assembly work but I’m clueless about paint and body work. Any advice is appreciated. Pic for reference but I’m not sure this is even the most recent picture.
  3. No, not at all. Some of us still go to BBG too. Some of us just had a vision for a new group that wasnt necessarily the clubhouse style AA.
  4. Suburban group in Plano is another legit one. My home group AA101 in Rockwall is a fairly new group but is a strong one.
  5. I've got several tubs of antique porcelein dolls. Some were hand poured and painted by my stepdad's grandmother, but then there are others that were manufactured. Some are by a German Manufacturer called K&R. I've found a little info on the web that says they were made up until sometime in the 1940's. Would be interested to see what some of those are worth.
  6. My teens have been doing their own laundry for a few years. They each have an assigned "laundry day" to get their stuff washed and dried.
  7. Someone pointed out that Kayce's dead son is buried there, could that make it designated as an Indian burial ground?
  8. I'm in the same boat along with Josh Allen and Kyle Pitts....frustrating.
  9. Saw these last night. Did not want to try.
  10. That is true, and I'm not against rehab (I made a trip there myself). In my case, I wasn't willing and honest when I checked out and found myself drunk again within 90 days because I took the middle of the road approach. I knew the solution, but wasn't willing to fully surrender and be completely honest. I've seen this experience in many others along the way.
  11. I'll third this, rehab is a place to dry out and hopefully get introduced to the long term solution, but it doesn't work if they aren't willing or ready. To quote the spiritual experience: "Willingness, honesty and open mindedness are the essentials of recovery. But these are indispensable."
  12. He stopped doing his laugh on purpose because he didn’t like people mimicking him. https://www.vulture.com/article/eddie-murphy-changed-beverly-hills-cop-laugh.html#
  13. My youngest was a private adoption (basically surrendered to us by birth mother). SD was not in picture. If i recall, our attorney had us run ads in local paper looking for him and the non-response was considered is surrender of rights.
  14. Yeah, a text to column to separate the pre-fix out would be easiest. There may be a way to incorprate the "Right" formula to where it only searches by the "right" 5 characters, if the format for the part numbers and prefixes are all the same number of characters. Example being: =Right(SK-A-050,5) will return A-050.
  15. I saw this last week while touring the Colosseum. I wonder how many victories they claim here?
  16. Thanks for this. I have talked it over with both my sponsor and Grand sponsor and both have said the same. The kids may not see it all now, but I suspect theyll see the big picture when they're older.
  17. This may turn into more of a vent session for me, but how do you guys with kids deal with family logistics and AA involvement? My kids (13,15,16) have told their mom and step dad that they don't feel like a priority in my life and that they are backburner to AA. Their step-dad even told me the other night I went form "Raging Alcoholic to obsessed with AA and church". I've tried to have this conversation directly with the kids, but the perception I get from them is they are good with things. I emphasize with them constantly that I am available to hear anything they have to say. Sometimes I think this is probably more their mother and I not seeing eye-to-eye. I have committed meetings I attend each week (usually when the kids aren't with me) and I don't talk to them about AA unless they ask. There have been a few occasions over the past few years where I have missed a function due to an AA commitment, but they have bene few and far between. To me they are a priority.....I also know they don't get sober me without AA.
  18. I have memories from my early childhood of sing along to this record with my Mom. I don’t think you could get that many people in the same room to record a song today, so it was definitely a historical moment. The part about Stevie leading Ray Charles to the bathroom had me rolling.
  19. My in laws live inland from gulf shores/orange beach area. I haven’t been there during spring break but there are lots of condos scattered along the beach. If you’re just looking to sit by the water then it’s not a bad area. Some decent restaurants nearby too. Will probably be more families than college kids except the bros at the Florabama.
  20. You can also use a sumif formula, it sums the total in column c if column a matches column A11 and Column B matches B10, you would do the same in column C.
  21. The full show is also available on Apple music. Gave most of it a listen yesterday. I noticed that too, seemed unusual for him.
