  1. They don't have the payroll to keep them all.The portal transfer market is paying millions, not hundreds of thousands. Proven players at positions of need are gonna get poached. Having an outdated offense isn't going to help, especially at receiver. CHIEF
  2. It's gonna be funny when all of the redshirt aggy recruits, that were bought and paid for to sit and wait for their turn, hit the market again. The hundreds of thousands that it took to buy them, will turn into millions to keep them. Their roster will be picked over like buzzards on a carcass. I think they were amazingly (not-amazing for aggy) very short sighted. We may be possibly seeing an end to an era. The only recruits will be bonafide day-one starters, or have a senior in front of them. The new roster model will be to cherrypick and tamper proven guys into the portal for 30-40% of roster turnover. All the proven, VVS diamonds, will be cherrypicked. aggy will be left with the SI-2s. They can't afford to keep them all. CHIEF
  3. We're already to that time of the year where we have to work at night, and sleep during the day. The only bright spot was the United Grocery, in Seymour, has a shit ton of baby formula. CHIEF
  4. We should have CHIEF Jr.'s back shortly. We made a run to the lease this weekend, put a 275 gallon tote with a water trough at our new spot. CHIEF Jr. and his buddy Clark filled 3000 lbs. worth of protein. The only feeders that have any activity are the ones with water stations. There is absolutely nothing to eat except the protein. We have changed out cottonseed for alfalfa, to try to give the deer a little more moisture. All the tanks are dry. The only water is from cattle troughs, and our water stations. It was 117 degrees on Saturday afternoon. CHIEF Jr., Clark, and I had to find somewhere to cool off. CHIEF
  5. The issue, if you crackdown on the corps, is that there will be no repercussions when those positions are outsourced to another country. That's what you get with a "Global" economy. Both political parties are big promoters of "free trade". The corps are the big winners, the employees, the big losers. First, it was manufacturing, now it is service centers. Why do you think Third World Countries are teaching all of their school students to speak English. The overall objective doesn't seem to be to bring Third World countries up to First World countries, but to level everyone off as a Second World country. American workers have no leverage with the current trade agreements. It's why wages have stagnated for so long. Most Americans aren't working to put food on the table, they are working for new cars, fancy houses, and vacations. It can be summed up in the old saying: Hard times create hard men, hard men make soft times, soft times make soft men, soft men make hard times. Americans are soft men at the moment, about to make hard times because of our trade agreements. CHIEF
  6. Morris Neal’s doesn’t have outside seating, or a “eat in your car” area. The only reason I didn’t mention it. But both of my mothers brothers and I eat there after crappie fishing at Lake Pat. It’s as good as Burger Bar. Every time I eat there, every Lawdog in town is there. I guess they know a good burger, the ones on this site certainly do. Barrera’s Mexican food also has a great burger, but not a stand. CHIEF
  7. This model, to me, gives the most flexibility to the employee. It is in their best interest to stay productive and efficient since they are either rewarded with less work hours or more income. It's not the answer for all, or even most vocations, but for manufacturing it could be a real boost to "made in the USA". CHIEF
  8. Fuck, Mrs. CHIEF is 18 years older, and looks 20 years younger. That woman looks like she is in her late 50's. CHIEF
  9. I had a friend, that had a philosophy that people should be paid by the widget, and not hourly. If you could get your 100 widgets completed in 4 hours, that's how much you worked. If it took you 10 hours, that's how much you worked, or you were paid only for the widgets you completed in an 8 hour typical work day. The objective was that employees, not employers, would be the one that determined their hourly rate, and that workers would strive to become more efficient to work less hours, or work longer hours to produce more widgets. CHIEF
  10. The Ukes need to rig an explosive with an electric trigger that only detonates when a washer or drier is plugged in. Let the orcs get it back home where it blows up their entire family. CHIEF
  11. Being a homely 56 year old widow, with no children, has to do a number on her mental health. I'm not sure how long her late husband has been deceased, but it was probably the last time anyone made her feel desirable. Shit like this is getting less rare, and it's only going to get worse as many women are choosing careers over marriage and children. Gonna be a lot of 40-60 year old women being taken advantage of, since it has been decades since anyone has had a romantic interest in them. Living around a lot of retirees I see it happen from time to time. Desperation, from the lack of a romantic relationship knows no bounds, especially from those that need them. This gal needs a mental eval, and the prosecution needs to take that into consideration. The only bodily harm that has occurred, since the escape, is her self-inflicted gunshot wound/attempted suicide. She has followed a sad path, but for obvious reasons. CHIEF
  12. Not nearly as out of touch as your sarc meter. CHIEF
  13. Herd's in Jacksboro: https://burgaholic.com/post/81075551993/herds-hamburgers Burger Bar in Cleburne: https://thetexasbucketlist.com/2017/12/the-texas-bucket-list-the-burger-bar-in-cleburne/ Jesse's in Mineral Wells (it has seating though): https://www.facebook.com/jessesdrivein/ Cupp's Drive-In, Waco: https://www.facebook.com/cuppsburgers/ All of these are pretty spectacular. CHIEF
  14. I would have asked Mrs. CHIEF to take care of it, and gave the kids 10 minutes to draw a crowd. She is mean as a snake, and strong as an ox for a regular sized gal. I already asked her what she would do, and I knew the answer, "grab the outside ears and slam heads together hard enough to crack skulls." Legal trouble? Yeah, probably. CHIEF
  15. That sounds like an extra verse to Roger Miller's "You Can't Roller-skate in a Buffalo Herd," I’ve never laid pipe in a hobo camp. I’ve never laid pipe in a hobo camp. I’ve never laid pipe in a hobo camp. But you can be happy if you've a mind to... CHIEF
  16. Are they going to ship it back to Russia? Would NATO consider confiscating it as soon as it left the Black Sea? It is stolen grain from Ukraine. I never thought I would be rooting for Somali pirates, but, here we are. CHIEF
  17. CHIEF Jr. said if you need some routine boat maintenance, he would be down. Just haul him around for the weekend. CHIEF
  18. Kinda like when they were 100% gonna smear Texas the next year, in Nebraska, after getting screwed over in the Big XII Championship? According to them that that was a foregone conclusion. LOL, how did that work out for them? I guess enough time has passed for them to get another banana in the tailpipe. CHIEF
  19. Crema del muchacho. NTTAWWT. CHIEF
  20. DL: Mr. Depp, you have a special box, correct? JD: Yes, I have a special box, it was given to me by someone special I will not name. DL: Did you, in fact, use this box to carry cocaine? JD: No, I didn't use the box to carry cocaine, but it looks like it could carry some cocaine. LOL CHIEF
  21. She is a tail twister. She deals with every department's "fuck ups" even before it gets to executive level. She has saved them dozens of clients, millions of dollars, and tons of embarrassment. When a vendor gets slow paid, they call her. She pays them immediately with her company Amex, then rattles the accounting department's cage. A building doesn't show up on time, she is on the field superintendent's ass. Human resources issues, she fixes them, phone issues, she fixes them, sales issues, she fixes them, delinquent accounts, she fixes them, logistic issues, she fixes them. The list goes on. She knows how to do every job in the company, what is expected of those employees, and knows where the problem lies. The CEO, and COO don't even know that. Now the niece on the other hand, might have to get a little bit more "dirty" to get the same treatment. Sorry to brag on her so much, but she is no nonsense, and gets shit done. I am very proud of her, and what she has become. When I married her, she didn't get a raise one year, while working at the State due to tardiness, she was mad. She was only 21, but I told her I agreed with her boss. Get the fuck to work on time. That changed her, she was never late again. CHIEF
  22. Mrs. CHIEF was the third person hired at her company. It was because she went above and beyond for those executives at her previous company. She wore many hats, and takes pride in her companies success. She was a peon at the first company, hired as the head account assistant at the new company, and now is the executive assistant to the CEO, and head of the CIS department. She is the "eye of the hourglass." There is nothing that goes through that company that she doesn't have a hand in. So doing favors is definitely a two way street. She is basically entrenched so far, that she can't be fired easily. She isn't a morning person, so no one contacts her before 9 am, she can take off anytime she wants, and for as long as she wants, with pay. Hair appointments, long lunches, mani/pedi, doctors, etc. I'm FIRE, but do real estate 2-10 hours a week, but she chooses not to be, and with the setup she has at work, why would she want to. I agree that the companies that take a "you're just lucky to be here" attitude are gonna loose out. But an employee that is willing to do what it takes to help their company succeed will be rewarded. She went from $12/hr., a HUGE decrease from her State job in Austin, to over six figures. But, she went from a cog to a very vital, and integral part of "her" company, as she calls it. She feels she has ownership, participates in profit bonuses, makes important decisions, guides company policy. Success in employment, is like success in the rest of your life, you get what you put into it. CHIEF
  23. No, Willie Mae. Her father thought she was going to be a boy, but surprise. They were the previous owners of the big dairy that my cousin now owns. During WWII, she had German POWs that did the milking while she went, each night, to wire B-24s at Convair in Ft. Worth. She and my great-grandfather actually sponsored some Ukrainians in the 1950's. They came over and worked for them for about three years, then, they were granted US citizenship. A majority of that family now lives in Salt Lake City. CHIEF
  24. If I would have suggested that, she would have taken her left hand and held her right forearm steady, and slapped the piss out of me. CHIEF
  25. Someone needs to give Vlad the same "bright side" analogy I gave my great-grandmother when she came down with Parkinson's. You can always get a job at Sherwin-Williams shaking paint. CHIEF
