  1. 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
  2. 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
  3. 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
  4. CHIEF Jr. said if you need some routine boat maintenance, he would be down. Just haul him around for the weekend. CHIEF
  5. 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
  6. Crema del muchacho. NTTAWWT. CHIEF
  7. 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
  8. 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
  9. 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
  10. 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
  11. 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
  12. 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
  13. The Roman Orgy at The Magic Time Machine was my first memory of Austin. Went to it the same day I saw Ralph the swimming pig at Aquarena Springs. Moved to Austin in 1991 and left in 2006. Pearl's Oyster Bar with 10 cent shrimp and 25 cent oysters was still a thing. First time Mrs. CHIEF and I went to Cancun, we flew out of Mueller. I feel old. The HEB at 620/183 was about where the Total Wine is at this time. 620/183 was a four way stop, even 6-7 years after we were married. CHIEF
  14. Or a Queen themed community for gay men. It could be called...."Somebody to Love." CHIEF
  15. They really need to open up a nursing home/hospice care facility at their locations, and actually call it "Wastin' Away Again in Margaritaville". You know some of the community members would find it humorous and ironic, and like to stay close to the friends they made. Medicare could pay for their Margaritas and Delta-8 vapes. CHIEF
  16. The only black mark on my credit right now, is a $6600ish Chase card I never received a bill for. They won't tell me what was charged, or where, so I told them to pound sand. It happened in the last year, and I have not applied for a credit card in over two years. CHIEF
  17. Yep. Imagine trying to impress all the gals with, "I'm the starting quarterback for Texas A&M" and still not getting any takers. CHIEF
  18. No fucking "swim up" bar at the pool? Hell naw, hard pass. CHIEF
  19. I'm 54, and an only child, CHIEF Jr. is 24, and an only child. I was kinda on the fence for a while, but finally decided to have a child when I realized that if I didn't there would be no one to inherit my parent's and my wife and I's shit. I got lucky, healthy kid with no health problems, never has been in real trouble, loved my hobbies, and took them up (wrenching, hunting, fishing, etc.) at a young age. He is the glue that has held my marriage of 29 years together. Things got a little "rocky" in my late 30's, when I moved to Granbury for work. At that time, without him, I think Mrs. CHIEF would have stayed in Austin, and we would have split up. After my father passed in 2019, I did not realize how much my Mother needed me. Not financially, but spiritually, and emotionally. She has no interest in dating or getting remarried. The last thing I would want to happen, is for her to have to do it out of necessity. I am essentially "the non-romantic Man of her house." I take care of her property, run errands, put out real estate signs, and lock boxes. Stayed with her when she had COVID. Help with financial advice. She will never go to a nursing home, I will see to that. If she becomes physically unable to take care of herself, I will move her in with me. I love her dearly. She and my wife are the two most important women in my life. CHIEF Jr. feels the same about his mother, and I love her enough to want her to be able to make the same choices my mother is able to make. You can have, or not have children, and both could be considered selfish. You don't want them because you don't want to have to spend the time and effort on them when they are dependent on you. Or, you have them so you can depend on them in your later years for their love, care, and companionship. My mother is only 71, she has a good 20-25 years left. It would certainly be lonely for her to be doing it all by herself. For us, having only one, was a choice. We didn't even have enough to replace ourselves, my parents didn't either. My son will get the accumulated wealth of both my parents, my wife, and myself. How many he has is completely up to him and his spouse. Or, he may never get married if he don't hurry up and get his ass out of school, and quits being so picky. CHIEF
  20. Call me crazy, but is it possible that even the main Russian TV pundits think that Kyiv hasn't been bombed, railways, and train stations? That so far this has been a surgical strike? Holy shit. I thought all of that came out on their state ran TV. Everything the guy is requesting has already been done. Talk about clueless. CHIEF
  21. We have a friend with a High Security clearance, he never says anything outright, but has alluded to there being close to 50 Russian subs sitting on the bottom of the World's oceans. CHIEF
  22. This is just cold blooded. CHIEF
  23. I watched all of his HUDL. Would like to have seen him go up against guys over 250 lbs. A couple of defenders looked close. He always did well with the elite in 7 on 7, but a lot of holding and jersey pulling is allowed. Definitely excited to see what he can do against DI talent. CHIEF
  24. Ours is kinda symbolic as well, kind of a "Communion/Last Supper" gesture. Jesus was the Lamb of God, slain for the sins of man. But lamb chops and good Merlot are definitely an upgrade over the communion crackers and Mogen David from church. CHIEF
