  1. More awesome replies. Thanks for your humorous and misplaced anger. If you do not like it being pointed out that staying in a place where you will eventually have everything you ever worked for taken by these idiots I do not know what to tell you. That is their goal. This board is going to have plenty of stories of this happening to them as they gain more power in government and grant themselves more power to bring pain to the people not with them. Since you obviously read well you would know I specifically said my move was not for political reasons and I am not here because of some burning desire to be here. It’s not hard to look up exactly why I left the mainland. Good luck finding me drinking or hanging out in bars. The only time I spend talking in public is at work. I go home and keep to myself and do what I came here to do.
  2. Good Lord…Yep that’ll get someone to leave!
  3. I see references to him, but I guess I must have missed exactly what he did. I gather it was something embarrassing.
  4. I still have the “Bend Over and I’ll Show You” sweatshirt somewhere. It was a matching one with the first half of the quote worn on a sweatshirt by an ex-gf. That scene gets me every single time.
  5. Look he tried to google it, but that didn’t help. Just gotta try everything at that point!
  6. I left long before this period of craziness and beginnings of fascism taking root from one ocean to the other. It’s not cool what is happening, but history has shown clearly that good people are the ones that will be targeted. MAGA isn’t targeting other cult members. It’s the people with good intentions who do the right thing that are going to suffer the most. Thankfully right now these clowns are running Mussolini style garbage. If they ever replace Dotard with a functional adult then that will be when the real pain begins all across America.
  7. Awesome.
  8. I am going to state what I think. If you do not like it put me on ignore. My stance will not change whether you like it or not.
  9. And I’m okay with that should it happen. I made a choice and will deal with the repercussions if they happen. I do not think he is a bad person for staying nor do I think he’s bad for being a business owner. However, if you stay you know what is coming. That’s it. You can’t complain when the moron brigade comes in and decides to take everything you have worked your entire life for. These clowns are not going to stop at just being in charge politically. Business owners not on team moron will be in their sights.
  10. I do not feel bad for this. Sometimes people have to hear some hard words at times.
  11. Don’t complain about what happens when you willingly choose to stay in the midst of it. Staying for business and money is, well, that’s something.
  12. I hope that by this time next year that those of you who have not yet left the state will do so. History shows that this will not end well for the state or its inhabitants. Some of y’all are at a stage that reminds me of a phrase a coach said to me years ago. Either take a crap or get off the toilet. Find your way out and never return to live there.
  13. There is no way to spin losing Soto to the annual failboat in Queens as a positive. He is, barring injury, going to be one of the top 10 hitters to ever play the game. He’s competitive and performs well in big spots. Basically the opposite of Judge. I have no idea what kind of teammate he is. It seems a bit odd that he’s on his 4th team by age 26, but that doesn’t much matter. The Yanks should have pushed that offer well above an AAV of over 50 per season. Fried is a good signing. The starters need a lot of help. So does the batting order, but Fried is a good one. The Yanks still have e a better chance to be in the World Series than the Mets. I hope Soto enjoys getting pimp slapped year after year in the playoffs by LA. If he wanted to leave he should’ve stayed in the AL where he had an actual shot to be in the Fall Classic. That chance is near zero going across the bridge and having to see Ohtani and Co. every single year.
  14. @Vic Mackey to the white courtesy phone.
  15. lol no. Anytime I mention places like this the reaction is invariably “something, something paradise.” I always say that what someone might see as paradise is what someone else from there just sees as home as well as where they earn a living. I spend a good deal of time listening to people talk about where they are from because of my job so I look at things a little differently. I see it as a cool place that lacks an HEB. That part, however, is not cool!
  16. Haha no. I had stop through my hometown here in Texas because I’m moving from New York to there. I have yet to come across a grocery store anywhere in the US that is as good as HEB. Someone in New York tried to argue with me and say Wegman’s was just as good. That was some good laughs. The only grocery store I have been to that was even close to an HEB was the Carrefour I went to in Tahiti. It was still a couple of rungs below HEB, but they were pretty cool. Any grocery store that wants to have a crepe machine making them fresh each morning is good in my book.
  17. I have not been in an HEB in three years before yesterday. I would sacrifice all of you to be able to take one with me to Hawaii on Wednesday. Not having any truly great grocery stores outside of Texas makes you really appreciate HEB even more.
  18. It’s about that time for the city to be super crowded for about three and a half weeks.
  19. Arizona State beats…It doesn’t matter. Making the playoffs was good enough. Still might as well win the whole thing while you’re there!
  20. I’m flying out of there on Wednesday morning. I don’t anticipate any issues, but it’ll be because I am there 5-6 hours before the flight leaves.
  21. Does anyone here foresee his getting captured, sent to trial and then being acquitted because several of the jurors will have been denied coverage by UHC or their own healthcare plan? I put the odds at -800 on an acquittal of murder. This seems like it will be like some murders that occurred in the Japanese army more than a century ago where underlings killed those in power because they were harming people through their actions.
  22. I hope you will go through there again at some point during the holidays. I drive out in the morning to stop for three days in Lampasas. Last time I will ever set foot there. Want to meet my almost three year old nephew before I fly out and see my almost 6 year old niece for the first time in three years. New York has been good to me and I learned a lot from so many people from all around the world. Time to learn about new cultures and explore new parts of the world and blend in all over again. It was really nice to have met you Penelope. You’re a really good person. Keep on traveling and making the world a better place. Keep doing you and being the coolest Texan I know!
  23. I am aware of which one is the big island. I just didn’t feel like creating a whole new thread and used this one instead. I was just out there the first 10 days of November to find an apartment. I’d rather be on the actual Big Island, but the job and convenience of travel to other destinations is on Oahu. My next move will be as far into the South Pacific as I can get. For now though Hawaii is good by me. I can’t even recall the last time I read about Rocko. Whatever happened to him?
  24. I’ll be honest. I do not wish violence or death upon people, but this man enriched himself at the expense of millions of Americans. Millions of people whose lives and those of their loved ones were forever altered by UHC and their ilk not stepping up to help those in their time of need because profit mattered more. I think the best way to treat this man’s death is to just ignore that he ever existed and if they ever find the culprit, well, fine. If not, well, that’s fine too. I’d have NYPD spend the same amount of time investigating this as they would a street mugging.
