  1. NOT SO FAST MY FRIEND! https://bleacherreport.com/articles/10122404-ncaa-power-5-conferences-to-allow-schools-to-pay-players-directly-after-settlement
  2. Fuckin A. You are a man. You are a great, big man. And maybe you tell the therapist you want to focus on those issues. When you find a rock, solid place to keep her in your heart, when you find that place where you have the freedom and joy of honoring her... I believe you will find that everything else will fall into place. Be strong! Be resilient! And I hope you find that one person, that therapist with whom you can give yourself the grace and courage to be vulnerable.
  3. Doc, when you are first introduced to a therapist, look upon it as their audition to you. Why should you automatically trust them? Why should you be expected to immediately open up to a stranger? That is crap. Ask any question you want. The therapist should be willing to answer anything. You are trusting your heart, your soul, your anguish to this person. And like any relationship, it will take time. Take a look at this website for possible questions to ask. https://mindwellnyc.com/questions-to-ask-a-therapist/ Trust is a 2 way street. THEY have to establish credibility with you.
  4. Are you getting him/her from a breeder in Livingston? If so, I can give you the breeder's phone number. She has been breeding and showing them in competitions for 17 years. They are high energy, loyal, smart, stubborn, learn fast, beautiful, great with kids and very much own the name, "Velcro Dog." Here is what the AKC says about them: https://www.akc.org/dog-breeds/vizsla/
  5. There is a fuck ton of great material in this gem. (I still have a First Edition. It was released in September 1977. Four months after I graduated from Lake Highlands). This book could supply a generation of outstanding flicks.
  6. Beauregarde has discovered that squirrels are his mortal enemy and geese probably taste good! (4 months old on May 4)
  7. About $300 from Home Depot. Warms the seat, cleanses, warm air blower to dry. Minimal use of Tp just to make sure. No walking around with small bits of fecal matter in Tp on your ass. Greatness.
  8. Regardless, it's gonna be great seeing these unis again on the same field.
  9. So, introducing 14 week old.... Beauregarde! My third Vizsla. Beauregarde is smart ... really smart. And the perfect shade of burnt orange. He sends his regards.
  10. Let's see ... If Kentucky had fired Calipari they would have owed him about $35 million. Calipari is going to sign a 5 year contract with the Toothless Hillbillies for about $8 million annually. An amount below what he would be paid at Kentucky. 3 weeks ago, Kentucky announced the start up of a new NIL fund in which Calipari was involved, La Familia. https://www.si.com/fannation/name-image-likeness/news/kentucky-basketball-john-calipari-launching-new-nil-fund-jon9 Gentlemen... there appears to be a polecat in the woodpile regarding this move.
  11. With regard to the Irate 8/Whatever Conference ... and our new Conference mates in the SECSECSEC... "I will think about them with that stupid look on their faces ... I'll finish my coffee, leave the paper for Sid to wrap fish in, and never think of them again." When you hate someone or something, that occupies space in your head... rent free space. They don't deserve it. The opposite of love is NOT hate but apathy. When they think of us, they can hate or fear us. As for us ... why think of them at all?
  12. First, it is Texas - ou. Second, the Deathstar is an abomination symbolizing all that is evil and unholy about pro sports and reflects the narcissistic hubris of a Jed Clampettian family. It is soulless, and is the antithesis of what one of the greatest college football rivalries epitomizes. Texas - ou is raw emotion, hatred, joy, laughter, tears. It is uncomfortable and subject to the elements. It is college bands, crappy State Fair foods, it is a hillbilly band playing its insipid two word fight song ad nauseum. It IS history and tradition. The Deathstar is nouveau turdition, it is fake, it is plastic, it is everything that cheapens not just college football, but life itself.
  13. So, my fellow Surlytians, I did not see this anywhere yet, so fearless leaders, merge if and where appropriate. Apparently, in January of this year, Dak Prescott received a demand letter from a young lady alleging Dak had engaged in inappropriate and unwelcomed acts of dilation & curettage ("rape") with her in 2017. Problem 1 ... it was sent to Mississippi State... and not him. Problem 2 ... since the civil statute of limitations has expired for sexual assault in both Mississippi and Texas, any claim at this point would be dismissed and in all likelihood, the attorney would be sanctioned by the court. Problem 3 ... with that in mind, the young lady's Rhodes Scholar attorneys make ... an extortion demand. Pay her $100,000,000 and we will forego pursuing criminal charges and making this information public. Ouch. Yikes. It is a clear violation to threaten criminal prosecution to gain an advantage in a civil procedure. So, Dak files a lawsuit in Collin County, attaching the letter and suing... not just the young lady.. but the attorneys as well. DOUBLE YIKES! This is NOT going to end well for the attorneys representing the young lady. Dak's attorneys will get her to flip on her attorneys, she will undoubtedly say it was the attorney's idea, the attorney's D&O carrier will defend... will pay some amounts to Dak which he will then donate. Her attorneys will get sanctioned by the Bar. A copy of the Complaint (with the demand letter attached is here): https://heavy.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/2024-03-11-Plaintiffs-Original-Petition-1.pdf
  14. HOLY CRAP! I'M DEAD NOW!!!! ????? Maybe only from the waist down!

    Dallas | Italian

    Gents, we went to La Stella Cucina Verace last night. it is across the street from the Myerson on Flora in the Arts District. Everything about the experience was incredible. Solo live music performer who understands she is background music. Smallish restaurant. Great atmosphere. As we were talking with the waitress, the GM came over introduced himself. Engaged him in about a 10 minute conversation. He went into who the owner is, how the owner goes to Italy at least 3 times a year to take in different restaurants, how the owner took the managerial staff to other Italian restaurants in North Texas to continue to get ideas. The food? Delicious. We started with wha they call, PB&J. It is prosciutto di parma, with burrata and a fig jam. Great flavor that came together. The entree we had was Agnolotti Pizzicati... a gnocchi filled with ossobuco, and a sage butter, veal reduction sauce. Damn near perfection. Complimentary house made Limoncello. Dessert was a Bundino Americano ... warm, white chocolate bread pudding with vanilla gelato. Prices aren't too bad. Exceptional food and service!
  16. Holy Fuckballs! I don't know why this story popped into my head tonight. So, l looked it up on here ... and bingo. Then saw the author was J.D. Horne. A University of Houston Law Center grad ... 1997. AND.. he was editor in chief of the Houston Journal of International Law. Well shit. I was Editor in Chief of the Houston Journal of International Law in 1984! I was going through some really old bidness cards I have kept around for decades ... and THIS was found! So, this story hits close to home! Rest well J.D. Horne you Mad Man! There are too few of you in the world today.

    LBGTQ

    Scratching my head on this one. After all, I've only helped get a number of LBGTQ young people get into treatment centers for much needed therapy. Have planned plenary discussions with LBGTQ persons to give at mental health conferences. Started planning an event in 2019 with many LBGTQ activists in the Dallas area before COVID hit. As a person on the Board of Directors of Mental Health America of Greater Dallas, helped plan this years Adolescent Symposium held 2 weeks ago. Oh... along with a well known doctor, gave a presentation to both Raytheon and Apple regarding mental health and eating disorders. Both talks were broadcast on those companies' internal networks to all of their employees in the U.S. Too many things to list regarding mental health, eating disorders, including interaction with the LBGTQ community... but... ok. So, Serak old sport, I'd be more than happy to match my credentials against yours anytime regarding work done in the mental health community. Oh... and if you want to put your money where your mouth is ... I recommend reaching out to Project HEAL. This 501(c)(3) is dedicated to eating disorders primarily in the LBGTQ community. I started their North Texas Chapter. You (or anyone else for that matter), can donate to them here: https://www.theprojectheal.org/donate Have a good day.
  18. Cars on the track boys.
  19. I am a Texas guy, living in Dallas. In the wayward days of my youth, I did engage in acts of inflagrante delecto with a coed from UF. But, that is about the extent of my knowledge of Gainesville. Unless we are speaking of Gainesville, Texas.
  20. Yes. Have written many articles about mental health, eating disorders, my daughter. Am now going after some bad actors in the community. Sometimes our soul finds us in the most tragic ways and its path is set before us.
  21. So, a recent update. Some of my daughter is now bonded with a shipwreck/coral reef just off the coast of Barbados. http://adadsjourneywitheatingdisorders.home.blog/2024/02/04/diamonds-in-the-undertow/
  22. Nice suit. John, Phillips, London. Rumor has it that Arafat buys his there. Or not. (you can tell by the sleeve buttons on the suit coat. A quality suit has buttons that actually operate like buttons. A real dandy leaves one unbuttoned.)
  23. Doc, I am in North Dallas. I have been through hell and gone in terms of death in the last 4 years or so. If you need a fellow Longhorn to escape with if just for a few hours, get in touch with me. I won't have any words of wisdom. I am not in your place or living your emotions. But just know .... you are not alone. I would simply say ... allow yourself to feel your full range of emotions. Don't hold back. At this time, don't listen to therapists. Give yourself the grace to simply ... feel, to mourn, to grieve. The manner in which we grieve is as unique as our fingerprints. You don't need to be strong for anyone, let alone yourself. All the best, Steven steven@dunnlawfirm.net
