    I may have finished my lifetime allotment of booze while still in my 30s, but I chortled at that bottle of Pappy soaking the ground.
  2. A friend of mine just pivoted from project management to business development, and he takes customers fishing every Friday.
  3. I can afford $4 gas but I can't afford $2 gas. /SETX. Redacted- completely assholeish tone deaf selfish statement about royalty checks.
  4. Thanks. So far the other carrier is being reasonable, and the body shop says they have had claims handled by them that haven't been difficult.
  5. Bump. About $5m in contracts to book the next two weeks. Turned out to be the best sales year in my career x 4.
  6. That is how it's done. I love it.
  7. Amen. Headed to my home group, this on the stereo.
  8. Help me think this through. Especially in light of C-Man’s previous post and a suspect carrier. On Monday my wife was sitting at a light in a pouring rainstorm and was hit from behind by a lady who I suspect was distracted. I arrived 10 minutes post accident and she was hysterical - 25 yrs old, telling me she drives for door dash and has 3 kids. I just wanted to make sure she didn't need first aid or an ambulance as all her airbags were deployed. Per her address on the accident report she lives in a rough neighborhood. I've been praying for her as it appears this accident impacts our lives far less dramatically than hers. I've got USAA and the at fault driver has Dairyland. My research suggest Dairyland is a non-standard insurer for high-risk drivers, and the witness who was cool enough to stick around until the v police arrived and gave me her information said that the at fault driver had SR-22 insurance, which seems sub optimal. Reviews suggest that carrier sucks. The at fault driver was cited for failure to control speed. I've filed a claim with dairyland, but right now I’m leaning towards filing with USAA and letting them hash it out with the other carrier. I'm going to use a reputable shop and am about to have it towed over tomorrow, and either get a rental from USAA or have my wife use her late mother’s car. Wife got hit hard - we immediately went to one of those neighborhood ERs and she had scans to rule out fractures, and she's taking toredol. I told her that's what they give banged-up football players so they can get back on the field. Whiplash, back pain, neck pain - at this point I'm ready to unleash my lawyer for justifiable pain and suffering damages. Lawyer said for my wife to give him a dollar and keep him in the loop, he is essentially my surrogate dad after my own passed away. So, should I just have the car towed to my preferred shop and unleash USAA? At what point do I ask my lawyer to take action?
  9. Yes. It's not heresy anymore. Great brisket and it's so damned convenient.
  10. I'm so excited about the Amateur Autopsy club I just joined. Wednesday is open Mike night
  11. A point she made today. Largest law enforcement agency ever. Yikes.
  12. Well due to my job I found myself sitting 50 feet in front of Kristi Noem as she delivered a private event speech to the ICE industrial complex caucasians this morning. I didn't fact check her speech but I suspect some was true, quite a bit was “alternative facts”, and a lot was pandering to her good friend the president. Much emphasis was given to combatting the cartels, securing the industrial base, cybersecurity, and blowing up antiquated procurement methods in favor of increased agility. Again, the audience was a bunch of contractors and software types. My company publicly abandoned facial recognition tech in 2020, but holy shit there are a lot of AI and spacial surveillance firms with terrifying use cases just drooling for contracts. Y'all know me by now, this isn't my vibe. They let a dirty liberal hippie in the henhouse. I'm sure if P.J. O’Rourk was still alive he'd say something like giving AI and data to government is like giving whiskey and car keys to teenage boys. I may disagree in principal with this administration’s tactics, but make no mistake - she's a hell of a politician at a podium. Just trying to preserve America for her 4 grandkids, and the family whose mom was killed by a no-good undocumented driver in an auto accident. After a day in DC, I need a shower. And a 12-step meeting.
  13. Bumping to recommend Tony H’s autobiography which was released last week. (Anthony Hopkins, I'm not violating any traditions considering he published his story.) Was in the marsh by myself fishing, enjoying the pre-cold front sunshine, and listening on audible and I'll be damned if it wasn't a powerfully moving story.
  14. Lol my psycho ex was a Sweetbriar Vixen. Not because of her, but I still think pink and green are great school colors.
  15. Yeah I realize that and corrected my post. Like I said I don't really watch unless it's the Astros or if Im entertaining clients at Globe Life.
  16. I was really surprised to learn this is Don Mattingly’s first series.
  17. My nephew died by suicide 2 years ago. His brother is a blue Jays fan. I don't even watch baseball much but I want the Jays to win to give my sister’s family some joy.
  18. Flying in Sunday for client meetings next week at 1 Madison, any special places for a leisurely Sunday evening around Madison Square Park/Flatiron district? Anything to see in the 20s? Not my usual haunts. Hell, I'm staying in a nondescript Hyatt simply because walking distance to work and no yellow flags in concur.
  19. By my math my wife has made approximately 364 gumbos since we met, and she is going through a particularly trying, stressful time. Coincidentally or not, this week’s pot was an outlier to the mean, easily in the top 2%. Damned near perfect. I'm trying to isolate what she did 7.28 times since 2011. Just when you think you know someone…lagniappe. Medical researchers have their mice, I have a cajun woman.
  20. Man, I’ll never forget that morning when you wrote some gibberish post and ended it with I’m going to rehab. You're a miracle, friend. Sincerely happy for you on stringing together that many days. I ain’t judging about your lack of meetings because I didn’t have the pressure of small children whenever I finally made it to AA, but if I lived where you did, I would absolutely be in AA heaven with all of the conferences and meetings in Aberdeen, Southern Pines, and places like that. I know it’s not your immediate area. many giants in the program are either from or retired to that area. Then again, I love that stuff, and my late great grand sponsor Dave C was part of that lineage.
  21. From my daughter in Chicago. This is on the north side. She does lean towards hyperbole but still…
