  1. My kids call me “special”. Is that the same?
  2. Really looking forward to this. I read the Odyssey during high school and loved it. Not as much as the Illiad, but still excellent. I don’t remember the part where he came upon the undead. Really hope he doesn’t skip with part with the sirens and then Odysseus and his son killing all the people in his house. BTW, there’s a POS book called the Lost Island where it presupposes the island with the cyclops was actually off the coast of Venezuela or some Caribbean country. It’s stupid and don’t waste your time reading it.
  3. Turns out the burglar with the flashlight was my robot vacuum / mop moving around and its light reflecting off the glass door. I just figured it out because my ring camera detected motion. I turned on the camera, and since it was still light outside, I could see robot scooting around. Whew.
  4. Watching my kids having the time of their lives even though it’s only 8 degrees outside. IMG_1607.mov IMG_1605.mov

    Getting old sucks

    When I wear contact lenses, I need to change the text on the phone to largest and boldest font. And my arms are still too short.
  6. Saw this in a grocery store and thought about you all.
  7. I have Asian friends who voted for Trump because… lower taxes. The don’t understand that lower taxes don’t offset tariffs, increased inflation, increased national debt, etc. Nothing’s free. Costs at least $1.05.
  8. Googie architecture is awesome, and unfortunately disappearing.
  9. It’ll fall off the first page after he retires from football. In 2027 or 20 years from now if he pulls a Philip Rivers.
  10. South Austin’s mom approves.
  11. We’re on our annual ski trip and I had a few bad falls on the first day. The first one I landed on my right with my first pounding into my ribs. The second one I did a Superman and thankfully had googles on because I partially landed on my face. Anyway, I think I bruised my rib and it hurts to stand up straight / bend down / get into and out of bed. Guess I’m done skiing for the rest of the trip.
  12. We have a ring camera in our kitchen pointed towards the back door. Someone was in our backyard last night pointing a flashlight into the kitchen. I thought the chances of people wandering in would be lower since we lived in a gated community, but nope. Anyway, we are 4 days into our vacation with another 6 to go. This is in the back of my head wondering if they’re gonna come back tonight.
  13. Happy Festivus you smooth brained twats.
  14. You sound like a miserable twat and I have a real problem with you. Happy festivus.
  15. Quick browse of Dolphins forum and overall they seem optimistic about Ewers. One thing they brought up was his poise and knowledge of the playbook, and gave him a little grace because he had less than a week with the 1st team.
  16. No one would waste film on my face. Unless you’re casting a role with someone uglier than Steve Buscimi, then I’m your man!
  17. I donate $50/mo to my local NPR station because they do good work, and NPR podcasts are SOLID. Then find out that I need to donate more for “bonus” episodes. I mean, really? Also, really liking a person’s voice and on-air personality, then googling them to see… yup, they have a face for radio. That’s right I’m talking about you Wailin Wong.
  18. Next year… https://texags.com/forums/5/topics/3230826/1#discussion Look at the dates of those posts.
  19. Traveling for vacation. (Always) getting out the door late, traffic on the way to the airport. TSA preboard not working for whatever reason and going through the regular line like a peasant. At least we’re leaving from a small airport and no lines. Also, people who decide that standing in the middle of the concourse because all of the sudden they need to check their boarding pass. Get to the side. Idiots.
  20. Congratulations! Good that you’re seasoning with aggy tears and not their favorite other liquid.
  21. The white hoods are gonna show up on texags if not already.
  22. Going to the office 100%. Commute is < 30 minutes each way so enough time for a few podcast, audio book, or just to decompress. There are perks around the office, lots of free food, snacks, drinks, drinking whisky with the cute gal in marketing. My wife WFH and prefers it, because honestly, it takes a woman a lot longer to get ready to leave the house. She’ll leave during the day to get a haircut to get her nails done, but she’ll also work late into the night to make up the time. After bonuses, we make about the same amount, so I guess we’re in a win win situation

    Family Games

    Someone gifted this a few years ago. Variation of UNO, but you can’t predict how many cards you’ll get. Every push of a button is either a sigh of relief or feeling like the world is against you. Does she get stuck in the dryer?
