  1. My dad passed away about 15 years ago. He and my mom had his/hers walk-in closets in their bedroom. My dad's closet is still left as if he went in there this morning and got dressed. All his clothes still hanging on the rods, shoes on the floor, odd boxes of stuff left in there. She just leaves the door closed. I guess one of these days we'll have to get in there and clean it out (when we clean hers out).
  2. Fired may be the wrong term, "asked to leave your position" not at your discretion, is effectively the same thing as a football coach who is "reassigned" to a different role in the AD.
  3. "Resigned effective end of the month" usually means fired.
  4. More fallout at aggy for the Journalism fiasco. https://www.texastribune.org/2023/07/17/tamu-dean-resigns-kathleen-mcelroy/?utm_source=articleshare&utm_medium=social
  5. I believe it does. The curb was kind of in the road, and it’s certainly hazardous. My wife’s car had a slow leak, so I took it to Discount on the morning we were leaving on a trip. They put a new tire on it under the road hazard warranty. I drove back home, parked and we started loading up for the trip. By the time we left on the trip, the low tire pressure light was on again. I had picked up a nail in the sidewall of the new tire literally in the mile and a half from the store to my house, and they replaced the same tire again at no cost.
  6. No kidding, he ought to consider trashing whatever printer he is using and get one of the inkwell printers. Canon Pixma or equal. It’ll cut his printer expenses by 75%.
  7. Our older house in old Littleton had a swamp cooler circa 2002/2003. Worked well except on the hottest of hot days.
  8. This gotdang soundtrack from ESPN drives me crazy when they turn up the volume on every positive play for the Angels.
  9. Coming here to post this. My family knows Kathleen through her work in the Moody College and we think quite highly of her and how she treated our daughter and family during her tenure as director of the J-School. So ugly for aggy and completely typical.
  10. $9.00 one way from Santa Fe to ABQ. Pretty cheap.
  11. This is a great thread and timely for my wife and me. Kids are done with college, we can’t permanently leave Houston for reasons, but would love a place in a different climate than hot and wet. Great thoughtful discussions on real issues like water and healthcare.
  12. The correct number of bbq pits needed is n+1 where n=number of bbq pits currently owned.
  13. They’re not called “bullet tanks” for nothing.
  14. I noticed that there wasn’t much gender non-conformity going on at the Outlaw Music Festival.
  15. Whiskey Myers tore it up at the Outlaw Festival last night in Dallas. Absolutely shredded. Great guitar lineup. Willie was Willie and great to see. Old dude can still bring it.
  16. To be fair, those are pieces from the outside of the sub, where water pressure was equalized. It’s the pressure equalization process that causes the problems on the inside of the pressure vessel.
  17. Currently staying in an AirBnB so this hits close to home. I will say this, I was looking to book an ABnB in a small Texas city, and found an interesting one but the host didn’t disclose the actual address until you had booked the place w/ deposit. Once I had the actual address it turned out the property had an active train track essentially in the backyard. I cancelled the reservation but they went ahead and kept the $60 or whatever non-refundable booking fee for holding the reservation for five minutes.
  18. My adult daughter (no pix) already has both tickets back to back to see these on opening day.
  19. Someone upthread mentioned R rating for nudity. So ScarJo? um, my friend would like to know this.
