    Quality dark chocolate 70-85% usually 1-2 squares is satisfying enough to not want to eat the whole bar. I like Theo's

    I am preparing for the Cowtown Half in FW, with the ultimate goal of running the Pikes Peak Ascent this August. Of course, I have zero hills or altitude to train in.

    I'm running the Cowtown half in February, then plan the Pikes Peak Ascent in August. Since I will be training in flat Texas, I should be totally prepared for it.....

    The Little Watch Shop on Shepherd.

    Yes, he's a lefty. Good catch.

    Have her try a Beretta Px4 Storm. My wife struggled with every semi-auto slide on the market except this one.

    There is an app called AA meeting guide. It will geolocate your phone and give you every meeting in your area along with the address and time it starts. It can also give you directions there. I don’t know of a specific meeting in CC to recommend, but this app will give you a lot of options in your area.

    Good call on the earplugs.

    Lots of articles on Dry January if you search a bit. See how you feel after 30 days. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/food/wp/2018/01/02/giving-up-booze-for-dry-january-heres-some-advice-from-the-experts/?noredirect=on&utm_term=.4c12f92d11d3

    I was just about to post this. Detoxing on your own can kill you. Call your doctor, go to the ER, something. For everyone in the initial stages of contemplating stopping, I can only tell you that I could not wrap my brain around it at first either. I was finally beaten into submission. There is a pretty amazing life on the other side of this thing. You only have to be open to the possibility.

    I forgot to add. My son has an ESP LTD Viper 400. It is a darn nice guitar. The EMG pickups actually really good. Easy to play. Not sure if it is "metal" enough for your needs. Sweetwater has the Viper 256 that I bet they could drop close to your price range. https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/VIPER256STBC--esp-ltd-viper-256-see-thru-black-cherry?mrkgcl=28&mrkgadid=3157640887&rkg_id=0&product_id=VIPER256STBC&campaigntype=shopping&campaign=aaShopping - Not In Stock&adgroup=Guitars&placement=google&adpos=1o2&creative=105593157841&device=c&matchtype=&network=g&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIx4mYr92i3wIVk7fACh1ZjgcmEAQYAiABEgKoxfD_BwE

    BC Rich Warlock or go home. ESP LTD, Dean or Chad's suggestion of Schecter all have metal guitars in that price range. Or get him an Ibanez and a can of Aquanet.

    The correct answer is to get both. I get that the LP is an icon and that you are getting great deal. But if you have never liked LP in the past, what makes you think that this time it will be different?

    Glad you are doing something about it ETHorn. I remember my last drunk like it was yesterday. I sat on the couch and thought "I just can't do this anymore. How in the hell did I end up here?" I downloaded a copy of the AA Big Book the next morning. I kept finding myself on every page I read. The following morning I was at my first AA meeting. That was a year and 10 months ago. Best decision I ever made. Good luck man. Keep us posted.

    It looks like he has cirrhosis of the liver and a belly full of ascites. Seriously.

    This shipped today. Can’t wait.

    That's right. Now I remember all those sail boat images SB posts....

    If you go with Musicians Friend, they have the same price (on Silver and Red) and you could avoid sales tax in Texas.

    Neuman Tree. We got ours at Decorators Warehouse. Our previous Neuman lasted 13 years. It was still a good looking tree and the lights worked, but we were ready for a new look.

    If you decide to go with Sweetwater, click on the link in the lower righthand corner and ask for their best price. They will certainly come down off of the website price. Sweetwater will also do a set up and a better set of strings for about $45 if you want them to do so. Maybe a Squier HSS strat. Would give her a variety of tones in a classic guitar shape. https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/StratCHSSPLW--squier-contemporary-stratocaster-hss-pearl-white https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/StratPHSICAR--squier-strat-pack-hss-candy-apple-red

    Here is the kid car advice I wish I had received. You and your wife each keep a nice car in the garage. Get/keep what you want. Use these for work, date night and other non-kid duty. Next, go buy a Honda or Toyota minivan. Park it outside, use it for all kid and family activities. Maintain it mechanically, but don't sweat the spills, puke, scratches, stains, etc. When the kids are older, go drive the van into a field, light it on fire and walk away. Trying to clean melted crayons out of a Cayenne Turbo on a Texas summer day sounds like a nightmare.

    First, it's great that you are reaching out. That was a huge hurdle for me. If you are on the FW side of DFW, here is another link to some meetings. Just pick any one that is close and at a time you can make it. DFW is huge but send me a PM. If you are in my area, I may be able to recommend a meeting or two. https://fortworthaa.org/?post_type=tsml_meeting At the very least, get to a meeting today. You can figure out the treatment center thing a bit later.

    Not the best lighting.
