  1. Lufkin, unfortunately.
  2. Currently doing a Mon-Wed Fredericksburg trip here. We tend to start early and crash early, and we’ve been loving the non-weekend crowds. Wife has never been here before, so I’ve been content to just let her wander all the Main Street shops and get her chick-stuff fix. My souvenirs so far include some Der Kuchen Laden goodies and a case of Viognier Reserve from Becker. Comfortable old stuff: Been 15 years for me, but I was enjoying a Scotch Egg and an Enchanted Rock Red Ale within 5 minutes of pulling into town, and complimenting the brewer on his product. An afternoon bottle at Lincoln Street every day has been mandatory. A rowdy evening at The Auslander was great. New stuff (to me): A day-killing lunch at Vaudeville was insanely good. Amazing service and product. Drinks and snacks at Chase’s last night were a wonderful capper on the day. They are introducing a whole new menu today, so we plan to be back at 5pm. Breakfast this morning at Emma + Ollie was a great time (pastries acquired for the road tomorrow). Gonna close out our trip at Der Daiwel tonight and cap the trip off in Metal style. There’s a possibility of future business endeavors in this area, so…looking forward to future trips. Off to downtown Austin for 2 nights before heading back home on Saturday. Not a bad week at all, I guess.
  3. Thanks for the tip. Will check it out.
  4. Thanks so much for the further info. I will inquire further into the two guys I mentioned above...or maybe just go get two opinions on my condition and weigh my options. My left eye started to go wonky in '97. Took a good 6 years of so before soft contacts were just damn uncomfortable. Tried the hard contacts for a while, but the left one would just spin on my cornea's "peak" and jettison itself after a few blinks (also quite uncomfortable. I discussed corrective procedures with my ophthalmologist throughout the early 'aughts. He was very familiar with Keratoconus, but, like you, did not treat it himself. He seemed to think I was lucky that I only had one eye with that condition. He also seemed to think that, unless my eyesight was substantially altering my quality of life, not too worry too much because of the possible drawbacks of any surgical procedure. Thus, my left eye is fucked, but I still get by. After 14 years of that, however, I was hoping to see if some relief might be available. Never heard of corneal cross linking before this thread, but...I will damn sure look into it. Thanks again!
  5. Been looking around on my own for a cornea specialist relatively close to me (I’m in Lufkin). Found Dr. Singh in the Woodlands at Eye Specialists of Texas. Also found Dr. Verstringhe in Conroe / Woodlands / Tomball with Houston Eye Associates. Anyone have any experience with either of those places?
  6. Nice response. Truly appreciated. Are you in the industry?
  7. Yeah. That was weird.
  8. Oh so tender and loving. The reach-around was my favorite part.
  9. I would love to know more about this, too. My left eye is completely fucked with keratoconus.
  10. Is that goofy fucker still a thing? Jesus…..
  11. Cool story, bro.

    Yeah, you did!
  13. I once projectile vomited fresh crawfish nachos all over a chick’s bathroom. Seems like I scrubbed down those walls forever. They were delicious going down, though. Couldn’t tell you where they were from, originally. You’ll be happy to know I had sex with her, though. We had Anthrax turned up so loud, that no one else in the house could hear us. A few nights later, her friend quietly snuck into my bunk and fucked me too. Twice. For the rest of the week, people asked why the hall bath smelled like seafood. I never said a word. Good times.
  14. I gotta say…this totally wins the What The Buck storytelling award for the day.
  15. You might be confusing me with someone. And that someone prefers fake titties. And fake titties are just wrong.
  16. I can’t wait for Buck to find this thread, tell you all how shitty your taste is, and then tell a long-winded story about his mustard-related experiences.
  17. Super garlicky potato salad, you say…? You might be in for a fun night. Let us know you’re still alive today.
  18. What? That sucks. Anyone know the reason?
  19. Blanco Cafe on St. Mary’s just north of Houston.
  20. I don't think this guy knows exactly what a "Jew" is. "Jew Technology" totally cracks me up, though.
  21. It could have been a Hispanic Jew. He already told them he couldn't tell the difference.
  22. Self awareness is a beautiful thing. Kudos for that. Thanks for sharing, and for providing some additional info on Carr's book. Knowing your lifestyle, had you pegged as an extrovert. I wouldn't think you'd be shy about public speaking. I know it scares the shit out of a lot of people, however, and I commend you for powering through on something that made you so uncomfortable.
  23. Will check this out. Care to elaborate on the main points?
