  2. Furk, man... we *REALLY* need a delete option.
  3. Daaamn... what kinda advertising were YOU looking at??? Sent from my SM-G950U1 using Tapatalk
  4. The power of advertising: When I was a kid, I would try to duplicate the same "look" of applying toothpaste to the brush. I have no idea how much I wasted & recall when I was around 10 years old, I must have spent 15 minutes at the sink trying to recreate this with the swirl & tapered off tail.

  5. Hmmm... I wonder what the deductible is.
  6. "Mom, Dad... we just caught our college tuition!"
  7. My 11th grade daughter has gulped more than her fair share of Orange - ade & does not want the shot. My 9th grade son DID want it & is getting his booster this Friday. My wife doesn't think either of the kids "needed" the shot. You & I are essentially in the same situation, different school districts.
  8. Because apparently we have rulez, America likes to fight enemies that actually LOOK like enemies. The % of dead in Afghanistan that looked... well... like everyone else - that's forever an un-knowable figure. Gone are the days where one side dressed X while the other side dressed Y.
  9. Everyone hates lawyers... ...Right up until the moment they need one.
  10. I was expecting the Sheriff to say "Why did he shoot him __ times? Because that's all there were in the magazine."
  11. Do you recall where you were / what you were doing when you read that post?
  12. I spend around $ 20.00 / week on the lottery; Mega Millions, Lotto Texas, etc. & Like you, the thought of "well, SOMEONE is gonna win it, right? Can't win if you don't play" stuff. My rationale is that if I drank coffee, I'd be spending more per week on that than I do on the tickets. I use it as mental health, however. I call it my "License to Dream" & very often calm myself or put myself to sleep @ night building things or spending that lottery loot without regard for looking @ the bank acct. Then I also re-prioritize & recognize that even if I had $Billionaire$ type money, you only have so much time. As much as I'd like to own a boat (example), I would only have so much time to actually USE the boat... so it is smarter in my situation to simply rent one for the 3 or 4 times a year (max) that I would have the time to go out & use it. I drift off into functional financial planning... like "Yeah, I'd love to spend my summers in West Glacier & winters around Mile Marker 10 down in the Keys..." but instead of owning & letting sit there unused around 6 months of the year, I'd do the BnB thing or lease it or... whatever... & then I start designing the exterior look, move rooms around, think of paint schemes (a mint green trim with flat white roof & the majority of the outside walls for the Florida house, different boulder & wood styles for the mountain house, etc) & before you know it, whatever was stressing me out is gone or I have finally drifted off to sleep. So, yeah... I play the lottery partially for some mental escapism.

  14. 2 Shops in Austin; one is on Ben White, the other is on 183. I assume you had whatever shop fucked up - I assume you had them fix it?
  15. If they can't get parts, they can't get parts. Different shop won't help that. If everyone is delayed in getting parts, then may as well wait on your parts that will support a fellow Longhorn.
  16. I worked for YFS (before they became YFR) back in the 90's. I'm an old timer... learned this in the "company history" part of the deal.
  17. It keeps the sun out of Texas' eyes. Sent from my SM-G950U1 using Tapatalk
