  1. Overall, she is exponentially more responsible than me, so I’m not mad.
  2. Can report that Chicago PD responded to a wellness check within 10 minutes, no dogs were killed. I realize something was amiss when my daughter didn’t text or answer her phone on her way to ORD for her 8 am flight. She was out with friends last night and my wife immediately went to “oh fuck our baby is bleeding out in some alley” but my first thought was that she broke or lost her phone. Turns out that she overslept. “Dad, why is a swat team with a battering ram outside my apartment?” “Yeah about that…” $180 for a new ticket, AA gave no fucks (nor did I expect them to.)
  3. I mean, I've said some shitty things while drunk, but damned, Rudy.
  4. I'm buying a larger house and am dissatisfied with the furniture selection in my town. Our decor is somewhat rustic, with natural naked and stained woods and leathers, and I am searching for a Houston store that sells high-quality stuff. I'm also looking to completely redo my home office slash man cave. Can anyone recommend furniture stores in Houston that I might otherwise overlook?
  5. On my list. One of my favorite authors.
  6. So you’re saying I get 20 more years? Awesome. Prospect theory in practice.
  7. Coincidentally, I began taking Straterra about 6 weeks ago, on the advice of my psychiatrist. Too early to tell the overall effects. I didn’t even realize there were non stimulant options.
  8. My stepbrother has a contract with the Texans; last week, on the spur of the moment, they asked if he wanted to fly to New York and back on the team plane and sit with ownership during the game. He texted me a selfie from the stadium with one word. Ouch. I went into the wrong business, that guy gets paid to fly around the country on private jets, and go to all kinds of concerts and events.
  9. I just got the call. “Well Dad, I'm going away for a while. I'll call when I can.” Flat and lots of sand.
  10. What the fuck is wrong with you, Pooka? https://www.beaumontenterprise.com/news/article/xfl-player-arrested-beaumont-police-chase-18540702.php
  11. Unfortunately, my wife has great hand-eye coordination and she is strong like bull.
  12. “If you do it I swear I'm gonna throw this fuckin remote at your fuckin head” - wife, when I walk in on her watching Sex in the city, right before I neigh loudly.
  13. True. Admittedly, it is a strange flex to love a truck for its simplicity and lack of tech.
  14. Ditto, this week. All from random Texas phone exchanges like Hitchcock or Port Bolivar. I'm a salesperson so I’m not mad, but I have to wonder what the hit rate is on that method.
  15. My FIL owns a large full-service repair and transmission shop. I asked him point-blank what he would buy and he said Tundra. He has replaced about 10 transmissions a week for the last 30 years. When he and my wife talk shop they speak in transmission and engine models. His shop is full of Dodge, GM, and Ford pickups, but rarely a Toyota. The shop guys all have well-maintained Tacomas/4 runners with 300k miles His daily driver is an F150 platinum, but then again he owns his own shop. I love my 2018 Tundra for its reliability but if ride/economy/luxury were a priority I would probably own a different brand. I'm already thinking about getting an EV for daily driving and just keeping the truck for towing.
  16. Awful. We're decorating 14 dozen at church this weekend, but it's the desert course at our luncheon.
  17. I can't wait to see Mcdaniel win a SB. That guy is different for sure. That whole Jets game was surreal - how many players are built up as scrappy injury-prone fighters who love the game enough to fight back from a two-year hiatus, win a roster spot and become a starter, get miked with a dedicated camera on them…and rupture their Achilles? There was even a romantic interest in his bromance with Chubb. Anything better than having to listen to Tyreek squeak.
  18. Scary stuff man. Did you go with the defibrillator option on the pacemaker?
  19. Not only that but his head is screwed on straight. He's boring like Pitre. They live on the same street and carpool to work. The perfect Texan QB for the foreseeable future.
