    Getting old sucks

    This post really hit home for me. I was actually thinking the other day how much I'd love to see the parents of my friends and tell them what an impact they had on my life. Most of my childhood friends moved back to the Houston area, and I don't get to see them much. I'm close to Austin, and if I go to Houston it to see my sister and my niece/nephew. Getting a chance to hang out with old friends and their parents would be awesome. Aside from them being the baseball/basketball/soccer coaches of my youth, they would drive us out to the fire station and play basketball with us and 12 other people, go on bike rides out to a golf course and buy us frozen lemonades, go to the nearby school and be All-time QB in a 2 hour game of football. I remember it like it was yesterday. I took that shit for granted, but when I had my first child at the age of 34, I vowed I would be the dad to do those things with my kids and their friends, so that when they all became parents, it would motivate them to do the same and be the dad people remembered. I'm 45 now, and I have 3 sons. I've coached all but 3-4 seasons of whatever sport they were playing at the time. I've mellowed out over the years in terms of how serious I take it. I'm a competitive person, but this is for them, not me. Be as good as you want to be, take it as seriously as you want to take it, but remember Daddy for making it fun. They're are mostly into soccer these days, and I run my ass off out there with them in drills and scrimmages. I try to take them on bike rides, but they aren't into it as much as me. When it comes to swim parties, I'm the adult that shows up in a bathing suit and plays Marco Polo and lets the kids jump off my shoulders while te adults do their thing. It helps me feel young, but I know at some point they will appreciate it for different reasons. A week after turning 45 I really hurt my knee jump roping with my 7 year old at a school event for students and their dads. Been putting off an MRI, but it's time. I'm not ready to admit I need to slow down, and hopefully it's fixable and I don't have to slow down. But yea, getting old sucks.
  2. Fucking cock tease in Driftwood. Radar showed a big blob of rain supposedly over my house.
  3. Due to me being a dumbass, I have a working full-sized dryer that I no longer have use for. It's roughly 12-15 years old (not sure when I bought it), and it looks used. Some rust spots on the top. But it works just fine. Perfect if you have a kid going to college or getting their first apartment, or if you find yourself in need of a functioning dryer and don't mind the fact that is is used. It's yours for free if you come pick it up. I'm in the Dripping Springs area.
  4. And that's why Days of Thunder was badass.
  5. This. I tried to explain what happened to my kids while eating breakfast yesterday morning. Asked them if they know why they do lock down drills. I completely broke down. Cried every time I thought about what happened. All day. Today I woke up in extreme anger. I'm fucking done. Time to make other plans for where I raise my family.
  6. Well as long as there wasn't malicious intent, that's all that matters. People never get hurt without malicious intent. I'm literally looking on Zillow for the past 4 hours trying to figure out where to move.
  7. This exact same thing happened to my FIL in Dallas about 25-30 years ago, except without the clever comeback. Highly successful doctor mistaken for a yard man at his Highland Park house. He is still quite proud of that. And if you think about it...
  8. I'm a little the same way. The upside is it makes the 5th or 6th time I watch it just as good as the first. One of the last overseas trips I took before Covid hit had the entire MI catalog as an option. I started at #3 and just kept going.
  9. From Hamm's wikipedia page: He lit a pledge's jeans on fire, shoved his face in the dirt, and struck him with a paddle over his right kidney,[19] before leading the pledge around the fraternity house with a hammer claw around the pledge's testicles
  10. That's hilarious. I hope someone asks him when he got his money and he can admit it was before he ever signed. Too stupid to know any better.
  11. I'm almost 45, a father of 3 boys aged 10 and under, and I just cemented my status as "loser" by having to google to make sure this dude hadn't gotten into comedy.
  12. This sentence made me laugh. Glad you clarified that you were describing a realistic scenario
  13. We recently got 4 chickens. Apparently the completely cracked out dude that sold my wife the chicken from his parents farm/puppy mill/rabbit mill gave my wife a rooster by mistake. Sure looked like a rooster to me when she brought it home. My wife claims no way, he knew we didn't want a rooster. 5:45am on day 2..."COCK-A-DOODLE-DO!!!" My response: "Well, that would explain Big Momma's poor egg production" I was quite thrilled to be able to use that line as intended. My wife was not.
  14. I don't remember anyone asking me to have my shit together, and at no time have facts ever come into play on this website.
  15. He won his bowl game in 2013 and finished 9-4.
  16. Preparing my butthole for what the 2022 appraisal will bring out here in Driftwood.
  17. His ideal weight if he was 11 feet tall
  18. Good info. It's a pretty damn cool looking spider.
  19. PSA there are Zoom interview spots open this evening for Global Entry approval (TSA Pre included). I just had my conditional approval email yesterday and checked on interview schedules. Everything booked for months, expect tonight starting at 530pm. Log into your account and check
  20. Not an expert, but I think that's part of the widow family (i.e. extremely dangerous). They can have all sorts of different markings other than the classic hourglass. P.s. are you still alive?
