    On one of the first pages, I talked about this book and it deserves repeating. This journalist spent a year at Washington, Emory, and Davidson in the admissions department learning about how selections are made and how merit aid is given. It's a quick read and really eye opening about the entire process. Because of my kid's chosen major and her academic profile, we tailored her college list based on what I learned in this book. As a result, she's gotten into every school so far and all but one has given her the maximum amount of merit aid.

    Lalas has a deal that you can park at the church across the street. It’s the best place to park for both of them.

    My goal is $120,000 in each account since that roughly covers 4 years of in state tuition/room/board. I am about $5K shy of that goal for my oldest but she'll be there by graduation. I will continue to contribute to her fund through her junior year of college. I made the mistake of doing the age-based option for the first 10 years and that had a shitty return since it was so conservative. Once I switched to just an S&P 500 index, it took off. My youngest is in 6th grade and already has $80,000 in her 529 because her account never wasted time in the age-based fund.

    I've spent an obscene amount of time in Tulsa and OKC over the past 15 years. Everyone I've ever met there has been some of the nicest folks I've met...and it never feels like the fake cordiality in Texas. I have the same experience in Austin. But both states are ran by complete assholes for assholes. I think the disconnect is spending most of my time in the larger cities around college educated people and projecting it onto the entire population. I can go 30 minutes outside of my neighborhood that went 85% for Biden and be surrounded by Trump caravans. We went out to Enchanted Rock a few weeks ago and my kid had never seen a Trump sign before. She was like where the fuck did you take me? Is this child abuse?

    The difference is they use Maris Piper potatoes. There's no substitute that gets that same texture.

    Everything about cowboys is gay. It's good they're finally coming out of the barn.

    When the other gangster boss lady showed up, Sophia knew he was playing both sides.

    Junior Brown is now 3/3 acceptances and was offered $22,000/year merit award at the University of Maine. I had forgotten she’d applied there. So, now we just need the Colorado schools, Vermont, and UMass to get off their asses and make a decision.

    There’s the $5 Butt Stuff Tent in Denver.

    I guess the remaining insurance carriers in Florida are gone after this storm. Entire state is gonna be financially fucked but at least Disney World will be open the day after.

    So, how does the training of OB/GYNs work at Texas medical schools since abortion is part of the required curriculum and that can't be taught in Texas? Run

    If I have to buy canned chili, I buy this one in a box. It's by far, the best of the premade chilis. It's in the refrigerated meat section.

    My kid got her registration card last week. She turns 18 on the last day of early voting so we will go vote as a family then. She asked if it's kosher to flash both middle fingers and yell "FUCK TRUMP" as she exits the polling station. I said, you'll be an adult, do what you want.

    The cherry on top of Trump getting his ass handed to him is the GOP is going to have a negative bank balance and owe millions in unpaid bills across the country. The only business Trump has successfully run is his fleecing of the GOP of all their money.

    There was barely any fog. I had prepped my kid for not being able to see the band but it was only about 10% of their past shows.

    Just got back from Sisters of Mercy. They’ve been really good the past two times they’ve played Moody. BLAQK AUDIO opened and I liked them a lot. It’s a post new wave side project from the AFI frontman.

    My company is currently sponsoring some of my employees for their citizenship. With a fucking legal team behind them, it takes 3-4 years and our incurred cost is around $20,000 per employee. I would imagine if Juan Sanchez is doing it himself, the process isn't as streamlined.

    Was Biro intentionally moved to center forward or did he just decide to take it over the last 5 minutes? He did more work there than anyone and almost won it for us.
