    Bringing some friends with us. Going to send him a link to pay. Before I do, @immamac, are kids also $20 each. Will inform him of the SWAG rule as well. Thanks

    I've got a shiny nickle for the first person to post a shamepaint, with Alex Jones on the aggy roller coaster.

    We are planning to attend for MS-ST. Will be the wife and I and possibly our younger son. We're traveling from 4 hours away, so I'm not sure I can help with food and have it show up in reasonable condition, but if you have ideas for something that can be put together with reasonable ease and will travel well, let me know.

    See Twicehorn's post above. That's close to what a turnover order and appointed receiver seeks to accomplish.

    My brother! I ended up taking accounting (to finish my business foundations "minor") at HCC after I walked. I barely was hanging on and have never grade-grubbed in my life. But I remember talking to the professor before our last exam that summer and telling him I had been accepted to law school and I needed this credit to graduate. I promised him that I never would do any accounting or bookkeeping for anyone or any business if I just could squeak by in his class. I did . . . barely. And I've been true to my word since then.

    It possesses the personal information of hundreds of thousands of morons, as well as hundreds of thousands of bots. Now I doubt that information is worth $2.5B. But it might be worth, say, tree-fiddy. /signed, and English Major

    This, except a lot of veggies will be beautifully roasted at 400F in 12--15 minutes (in my experience). Depends on the veggies though. I certainly can see carrots taking a bit longer.

    It'd be weird if it didn't.

    For thickening, you can also add filé at the end of the cook, which helps thicken it up. I drop about a tablespoon into the pot. /edit: I see this was covered. Carry on

    I know it's going to be hard with her being so far away. But it really is great. Having kids in college is great. The stories you'll hear are great (and the ones that aren't, you may not hear about). The first time you visit after move in feels so good, and you'll likely get a sense of that maturing process that occurs from her being on her own for a while. Trust me when I say that these are good things, and you'll be so happy for her.

    With frozen crawfish tails, what could go wrong? I'm guessing, the roux process involved many drinks (understandable), and by the end of it all, the chef passed out and the gumbo sat out, cooling naturally on the counter. /ICBW

    Mike never had that problem.

    I remember having that talk with my now-wife's dad. I talked to a good friend of mine ahead of time, and his advise was pretty priceless/funny. He said, "I didn't ask for permission. I asked for his blessing. I was going to marry her regardless of whether I had his permission." He made a good point. So I went that route. It went fine. Her Dad and I always have gotten along well.

    Username checks out. And, yes, they seem like they like to have a good time, which is a good social outlet for my son.

    UT Water Ski

    Cross posted from the Surly Dad thread. My kid went over his first ski jump over the weekend. He survived, which was my goal for him. Otherwise, it was a yard sale. Ski Jump.mp4

    My wife (no pics) tried out her freshman year. It was in January (1992). She was in a borrowed wetsuit and couldn't feel her extremities. She couldn't get up on the ski and didn't make the team. Bummer because it would have been fun. Nice private lake to practice on.

    Yeah, I have found that mine likes to figure out what he likes by doing. He's been slalom skiing most of his life. I did not encourage this. Ski Jump.mp4

    Yes, we do. Rec. Sports. Div. 2. South-central region. It's been a fantastic way for my son to meet people. No tryouts like in the 90s. All are welcome to join, learn, and/or compete. They use a private lake in Taylor called Frame Switch. Boat and gear provided. Dues are $350 per semester or $500 for the year. They raise money to cover travel and hotels, etc. He just went over a ski jump for the first time in last weekend's tournament. He survived, which was my goal for him. But it was a yard sale. Snow ski trips in the winter. Great group of people. They are super-welcoming of people of all skill-levels. Texas Water Ski Team

    Based on what I read, if your TxTag account is active and in good standing, there's nothing more to do. Just checked mine, and it seems fine.
