    So they got rid of a black woman and a Hispanic? Sounds like a win-win for aggy.

    It's a long drive from Katy to The Station. A comfort station along the way is a good idea. Especially with the Chicken Ranch shut down.

    Looks like a photo an older female friend (divorced) sent me the other day. Said she hit a curb and was losing air. I went and helped her and followed her to the tire shop where she not only got it fixed but replaced the one-month old tire on the other side because she needed them to "match" as far as age for her "safety". Rim wasn't damaged. Just some tire residue. $600+ for two tires because she said she can't be driving on generic-name tires. A day after she got it fixed, she called to tell me she hit another curb but luckily didn't pop her tire again.

    My wife hasn't done it in a while, but she used to give long unnecessarily detailed explanations or stories and then end with "so..." I used to make fun of her for it but now realize it's was just a woman tactic so if you try to correct her or call her out on something she can claim "I wasn’t finished yet!"

    About the same thing for me. On a long multi-stop trip I accidentally mixed up the dates when booking thru hotels.com and made the reservation for the day after I was actually going to be there. It was just an overnight stop after a full day of driving. The hotel had room but because I booked thru hotels.com I had to call them and have them change the reservation date in their system so that it would change in the hotel system and they'd get paid properly. Hotel staff was nice but I had to deal with some call center asshat for 2 hours just for them to get the date changed. Since we were stopping at the same hotel on the way back, I verified I had the date right for the return reservation (I did).

    Shit My Kid Says

    Modessit replied to ROFL BOX's topic in Lulz

    No, the proper response to "I forgot my..." after you've left the house, truck, whatever is to say "Oh well. Guess you'll remember next time." And then you leave without it. And he can suffer not having his phone, wallet, whatever. My kids have learned that if they want to have their tablets, Switch, or whatever then it's their responsibility to bring them, bring charging cords, and bring headphones so I don't have to listen to it in the car. If they forget headphones then they can't use their electronics (because even when they "turn the sound down" it invariably gets turned up again and I can hear it). If the battery dies because they forgot charging cords then they can look out the window. They always bug my wife to use her phone when their battery dies and I told her to quit giving it to them because it's for her, not them. They know better than to ask for mine.

    Black SUV was stolen and thief died despite people trying to get him out. Car caught fire and poof.
  9. Modessit
    Dude was gonna wreck regardless of whether he hit that truck. That's a T intersection and at that speed he was toast.
  10. Modessit
    Assuming the speed of the bike stays constant, she's fine. Helps that she held onto his shirt, though, so if the bike speeds up she would be pulled along.

    I once had a cat that got "cat aids". (I forget the actual name but they described it as "basically AIDS but for cats.) By the time it has symptoms to even know this diagnosis, it's too late for the cat and it usually dies within 48 hrs.

    The problem is he's supposed to be throwing footballs.
  14. Modessit
    Yes but I was trying to convey they were from the same branch rather than a cousin from elsewhere. The LFL mom was hot in college. Never saw the Nuggets mom back then so no idea.
  15. Modessit
    And I recently found out that cousin's sister has a kid who started this year as a dancer for the Denver Nuggets:

    But I've posted pics of a cousin's kid who I found out used to play in the LFL:

    I've posted a pic of my daughter. She was 8 months old and doing 'hook'em horns' in her sleep.
  19. Modessit
    Exactly. "What are you getting?" I always answer: "Why? Just get what you want." If she keeps bugging me, I tell her I'm getting "Food." Then she's pissed off*. I used to think it was because if she was thinking about getting the same thing then she would get her other choice and then eat hers and have "just a taste" of mine so she could enjoy both dishes. But then she learned I don't share from my plate. Now I think it's because she can't actually make a decision and is hoping what I'm ordering sounds good so she can get the same thing. It's also why she rarely will order before me because she's undecided. Unless we're at a specific place she wanted to go to for a specific reason - like pancakes. Then she knows what she wants before we get there. *I'm not getting laid anyway, so what do I care?

    At least now my wife won't want to go to Galveston this summer.

    Mythbusters did it better with the mega fire extinguisher.

    I tell her she's not my mother. I take the kids somewhere and tell them to pick stuff out for Mothers Day. They get things they think she likes. I veto some things (no, we're not getting her a pack of spearmint gum. Keep looking.) and make some suggestions. They got her flowers, chocolate, and some new slippers since she's been complaining about hers. I paid for it. She knows that. But I wasn't even in the room when they gave her their gifts. I got flowers for my mom. If the kids are old enough, let them shop for her. If she doesn't like the gifts tell her to complain to the kids. If the kids are really little, then you need to step up even if she already got the same thing. If she complains, tell her you bought yours first (even if you didn't).

    I heard he was more worried about the future of pork bellies, which is used to make bacon, which you might find in a bacon, lettuce, and tomato sandwich.
  24. Modessit
    Then she spends 2 hours redoing what took me 5 minutes.
  25. Modessit
    Yep. She even stops to think about it before asking my help with anything because she knows she's relinquishing control. Once I've agreed to help, it's now my thing, not hers. Saves me from a bunch of crap.
