  1. Jealous of those of you who can retire early. I'm too conservative to pull the plug until my son gets out of college. By then I'll be 63 and hopefully in good enough condition to enjoy a few more decades. My dad retired at 62 and has been loving the past 23 years - traveling with my mom, visiting the grandkids and watching them grow, writing books. I don't have someone like my mom taking care of me, so maybe I'll kick it a lot younger than him.
  2. That's what happens when you snort PCP.
  3. Is there a law against it?
  4. My boy is crying because we’re making him do homework “that is hard”. Granted elementary English curriculum is shit, but his lack of resiliency is pissing me off. My wife has taken over because I’m on the verge of blowing up at him. OTOH, my daughter works her ass off. Her brother is naturally smart, but she puts in the hours to get her straight As.
  5. Unpopular opinion coming… Reduce to a B cup, add a small nose stud, blonde highlights and a sleeve tattoo.
  6. When you guys are planning for retirement, are you counting on social security income? I'm planning on retire in 12 years, and not counting on social security to be solvent. Getting anything would be like a cherry on top.
  7. Close
  8. What do you and your 2 lemon party friends charge right now?
  9. Our master bedroom and master bath are in a U shape, with the bottom being a very short hallway / nook. There is no door, but sound and indirect light still travel back and forth. If she goes to bed first, god forbid I have any lights on or make any sound. I'll turn on the white noise machine to mask any sound, shower in the light from my phone gently casting on the walls; brush my teeth with my manual toothbrush with the sound dampened by the clothes in the walk-in closet and shielded by a door. Any infringement of her delicate sleep is met by much huffing and anger the next morning. But when I go to bed a bit first, the lights are on, drawers being open/closed repeatedly, electric toothbrush humming, hair dryer blowing, glass jars clinking on countertop. And in her defense? "You should have gone to bed earlier the night before so you wouldn't be so tired and go to bed early today"
  10. kinky
  11. Every time I see this gif, I wish my parents had named me "that".
  12. Is that where South Austin's mom works?
  13. Oi! You can’t park there!
  14. I thought the turning point was the OU game… oh wait.
  15. Good things happened when we go deep and quit the dink and dunk shit.
  16. I've been using Google Gemini to clean up some vacation photos - getting rid of background people, adding little touches here and there. I've also been using it for work doing basic tasks for now, and want to figure out how to integrate it into workflow. Pretty amazing shit this AI thing.
  17. I know this is a Bourbon thread, but good whisky is good whisky right? I don't have a whole lot of bourbons in my cabinet - mainly Scotch, Irish or Japanese whiskies. Nikka from the Barrell is my current go to. Medium body, subtly sweet with a smooth finish. I usually drink it on the rocks, but lately I've been drinking it neat. Not terribly pricy at $63. I brought back a couple bottle of Kavalan whiskies when I went to visit my parents in Taiwan. I'm waiting for a special occasion to drink those. ~$200 /bottle is too nice to drink on a school night.
  18. Paying my home owner insurance using my CC without 3% "service" charge. I pay off my CC every month so it's nice to get $30 worth of points to go towards flights and vacations.
  19. And instead of hamburger meat, we'll be using tofu!
  20. Because Burger King food sucks, and... is a thing of nightmares.
  21. So the horse stable gets the good unit? Got it.
