CBD gummies and other sleep aids
I use CBD for sleep and anxiety and have found it to be very effective. I take the tincture and do a 25mg dropper at bedtime and occasional half droppers during the day if I’m stressed out.

2021-2022 Astros Offseason Thread
Don’t get me wrong, it’s more important to get better starting pitching. But a good amount of the time we were scoring on station to station hitting, which is hard to maintain. That’s why I hope we go after Story or Semien to replace Correa.

Which we saw in some of the games in the WS, getting on base with a bunch of singles, but not able to score them

2021-2022 Astros Offseason Thread
Anybody else kinda worried about not having more power in the line up? Brantley and Gurriel are already seeing drops in their power and I don't feel like any of the young (outside of Tucker) outfielders are gonna be more than around league avg slugging. Bregman has been avg to below avg the last couple seasons. It puts all the pressure on Yordan and Tuck to drive in runs, especially if we don't replace Correa with a plus batter.

All Encompassing Mortgage and Real Estate Thread
Are building costs coming down at all lately? I know lumber has started to fall back after the craziness of the first part of the year, but has that made its way back to the consumer yet? We are thinking of doing a screened in porch on the house but wondering if we should wait a bit more to let things normalize...or is that a fantasy at this point?

Hey real estate moguls - what’s going on in the housing market?
How huge are the bedrooms in your house? I live in a 3 bedroom house that is less than a third as big as yours lol

Hey real estate moguls - what’s going on in the housing market?
my wife and I make a combined 50k less than you and have a 1900 a month payment with zero issues...no kids, which does make our situation simpler, but this feels like you are bordering on an unhealthy level of risk avoidance. There are always things that could come up, and I'm not advocating for living fast and loose like so many Americans, but you are holding you and your family back with this level of conservatism IMO.

Bijan Robinson is special
I see a lot of Cedric Benson in him. Short legs, low center of gravity with a choppy stride. Very quick to top speed but not a burner. Can juke you or truck you. But Bijan has even more wiggle and is an elite receiver. To me he’s the most talented RB we’ve had since Ricky.

population decline
It's gonna be really bad for China in the next 20-30 years when all the people who were born prior to the one-child policy start retiring. Especially as their average age of retirement is 54 (they have been talking of raising it for years). Impossible to fund all those people with a much smaller working cohort. Who knew that top down, unilateral policy making might have unintended consequences?

Building a Custom Home-question about upgrade costs
That's good to know. How does that change for instances where we are selecting from certain models, not truly customizing from the ground up?

Building a Custom Home-question about upgrade costs
So my wife and I are considering building a house on her family's land south of Austin. We went to a custom home builder and got some prices for fully built out, but it was with completely basic options. Like stained concrete for the floors, basic It came out to about 300k. My question then is, how much should we expect to pay on upgrades? We aren't needing top of the line everything, but say nicer faux wood floors, upgraded bathrooms and kitchen, etc. It feels like we'd get to a 100k extra in a hurry. Just looking for general ball park costs before making any decisions.

Texas BBQ
Looks like I didn't see this in time, but I HIGHLY recommend Smokin Oak BBQ in Taylor. Its a trailer at the old Taylor High, which they have turned into a shopping and dining area. I admit that I am biased, since I grew up with the guys who run it, but to me it blows places like Louie Mueller's way out of the water.

I can think of at least half a dozen during the Strong era that were worse. Top of the list being the 50-7 vs tcu where they were up 37 at half.- 2021 Houston Astros Thread

yeah I got rained on for 30 minutes while out on the golf course in Round Rock yesterday. The fact that it is even possible for that this time of year is great.- 2021 Thread of 3 Putting
I'm dancing with breaking 80...just can't put two good 9s together. Have had 9s of 40, 39, and 38 recently, just coupled with mid 40s on the other half. Tantalizing...- Anti-anxiety pills
I have been dealing with a good deal of anxiety lately. I am on Lexapro (escitalopram) daily, but lately it hasn’t done the trick. I have had some good results from CBD oil. Take a couple droppers a day and it definitely has mellowed me out more than I thought it would.- 2021 Thread of 3 Putting
