  1. Agree with everyone here. Give it, dont lend it. Allow her to make the decision on whether or not she pays you back. If she gets her shit together, she will. If not, well it is what it is. In the end, it's your family. And you always help family. If it were me and my brother asked for $1500 in a situation like this, I would give it but on one condition. That he seriously sit down and talk to me about his life and ways to improve his situation. For me that would be in person, not over the phone. If you have already had these types of conversations with her in the past in trying to help her (and you feel this time is no different) then just meeting her somewhere and talking. With no agenda at all. At least that.
  2. Mellisa Stark still hot at 48. She was a total smoke show on that madden documentary back in her 20s though.
  3. I don't agree with trading Bout for her just like I wouldn't be OK with trading him for Sean Penn if he were caught "spying" making his stupid movie earlier this year in Ukraine Doesn't matter who you are. Don't be fucking stupid and think you are above it all. She was going INTO Russia just like Sean Penn was going into the Ukraine. Both deserve whatever they would get sadly. I am not OK with Bidens admin offering Bout and it will cause a firestorm here if it goes through. Don't even get me started if Russia wants more of their other criminals freed for Griner and we have to strong arm our allies to release them too, all for a celebrity making an extremely stupid mistake that may change policy forever. She was going INTO Russia and was caught. Fafo.
  4. I don't think so. It's a lot different over there. You can get a lot for much less. 400k can get you that especially if it is not on the coast.
  5. Inside. The walls enclose the entire property. Not pictured. 2 houses, a 2 room apartment and a servants quarters. All behind me. All enclosed. Maybe a fourth of the property is shown here. Her dad built it 30 years ago. The grass is from a river bed that he went and cut out and then grew it and let is spread. This is basically a leave me the fuck alone and let me live out my life in peace place to visit.
  6. 20220729_110833.mp4 Try making yourself leave this. Had coffee every morning out here. See those walls? That's 15 foot high concrete walls. There is nothing better in this life than that.
  7. Just got back from a week at the in-laws about 25 miles east of Mexico city. Highs in the low 70s and lows in the low 50s. Rained every evening starting around 5 pm. I had to talk myself into coming back. Of course when I did get back just now, my ac was running at 10pm having set it at 85 when I left so I could save some money. Not a good week to fuck with me, Texas heat. We are almost done with you. You get 2 more summers to get it right. Then adios mother fucker.
  8. Took some profits today from an s&p 3730ish entry point in my 401k. Went full 100% stocks in back in June from 75%. Feel pretty damn happy with myself so far this year. Most of my trades have been positive albeit conservative.
  9. I can't say it. I don't even know her
  10. I'll be voting in the midterms due to abortion vote. I normally do not.
  11. There's gonna be some angry mother fuckers on here 4 months from now. 8-4 is a marked improvement and in my view a realistic goal. 9-3 is tops and 6-6 also in the realm of possibility.
  12. They are speaking to the level of the average American voter. It works and will continue to work.
  13. LivelyOffbeatAtlasmoth-mobile.mp4
  14. Oh for fucks sake. This, with 2 unproven commodities at Qb and no clear cut starter at the most important position in football.
  15. It's funny you mention this. My wife and I started looking at homes in some specific Mexican cities this month. We are looking to buy in an 18 - 30 month window. It's amazing what you can get there even now.
  16. My views keep slowly changing as I get older and more cynical. I've always believed people want to control others. That's a given. What Ive started to come around to is many people NEED to be controlled. Add to that, and what I find the most disturbing is I am beginning to believe people WANT to be controlled. What other way of thinking could lead a significant part of earth's population, not just the US, to not only listen to this bulllshit but to actively seek it out and live by it. Independent thinking and freedom of choice is scary at times and for a significant portion of our human race, not an option. The Giver? Too extreme?
  17. Loved season 4. Thought it was the best season since the first. The dramatic buildups in multiple episodes was noticeable and well done. What I really thought hit the nail on the head was the devil worshipping aspect that took over the town. Growing up in amarillo Texas I can tell you in the 80s that bullshit was front and center. Totally believable even with how far they took it. Anyone else remember this supposed devil worshipping place circle of trees out past Tascosa country club. I remember... I also remember my mom telling me she had no problem with me playing d and d but that I needed to only play with my good friends and not make a big deal about it. Any way. Great season. Loved Eddie. Loved One. Those 2 stood out to me.
  18. That's what she said
  19. I must have one
  20. No one. Congress spends it where they wish. How is Congress being accountable to the public working since about 1980? And honestly, the public is the same. No one wants to be the generation who has to show some austerity. So all of us, congress, the public, kick the can down the road. We need to try something else now because nothing will get done until something breaks and then it's too late. I read something years ago that said a 50 trillion deficit is when it breaks. Where are we now, 30 trillion?
  21. Just as good, acc. Summer session.
  22. The fed should have a third mandate and set the amount of the yearly federal budget. It is impossible for either party to correct our deficit spending now. It is not in their best interest as politicians to do so. I would think congress would jump all over that. Someone explain to me why that is a bad idea.
  23. Not expecting deflation. More like the fed actively seeking deflation.
  24. And can someone explain to me why bond yields are dropping on this news? Do the markets think we will have a recession first and therefore the fed will stop raising rates earlier than we all think. Am I right to think the 2 year is based on where the market think rates will end up in the short term?
  25. So someone tell me why having deflation in 2024 and 2025 to offset this shit is bad. My economic knowledge comes from 1 macro and micro econ course taken in the mid 90s at acc.
