  1. I'm about to build a whisky shelf/cabinet out of black walnut starting in a few weeks. I was planning on doing Rubio but have never tried. Glad it has a ringing endorsement here too
  2. Also think it's important that 1 movie may be objectively "better or higher quality" than other and still not be something I want to watch over and over again. I personally consider that the hallmark of a what it takes to be a good movie for me. But I can say one movie is "better" but I'd rather watch something else.
  3. Bring it on is almost a perfect movie. No shame at all that I love it
  4. My guess is that JS gets tossed in the compost bin
  5. See the problem there is that my wife is the life of any party. She can make shit parties ones people don't forget. And that night I didn't want to take any chances lol I think that's the difference btw what this thread is at it's best vs. the divorce thread. She has some qualities that drive me crazy, but they are 2% of the day vs the 98% where she's awesome. But that thread wouldn't be as funny. Honestly, in retrospect it's more funny to me that even though she never listens to me, the one time she did it and then retained it, it was the wrong information
  6. I really think (not an uncommon theory) that Framber's issue was the clock. He wasn't in good enough shape to deal with it. Looks like he might be from those pics above. He was overthrowing in rushing his pitches. Hopefully that gets worked on easily in ST. I think Javiers issue was trying to prove he was worth the contract and trying to be a star. He just needs to be himself and pitch. I believe both will be fine this year and learned from last year. But that could just be my hope
  7. A few months ago we had a holiday party for work where our international team was in town and I was running the show. We originally were at one place and move to another. Somehow, despite texts, email, verbal conversation that week and day of telling here where when and how to get there, she went to the original place instead. Mind you, I told her one time MONTHS before the original place. Of course she goes to the wrong place, then complains that I didn't tell her it moved (easily 3 verifiable in writing things day of, including 2 texts up from where she was complaining I didn't tell her), and she was running late anyway because she always is from work and then had to back track 35 minutes and was an hour late. I can't stand people being late. I take it as complete disrespect to me and the event. She really does try but work days are hard for her because she works at and owns her own salon. But man, I had a hard time that day not being pissed.
  8. Pressly has never struck me as the type to cause the boat to rock just because he didn't get his way. The Astros made him who he became and he knows it. I actually think he's going to have a lock down lights out season just to prove how good he is.
  9. https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/39492323/former-mets-gm-billy-eppler-suspended-fabricating-injuries Not sure if posted elsewhere, but this is kind of crazy. Mostly because I think every single GM does this. Kind of like sign stealing and roids, but even more prevalent ;-) ...
  10. And that is where us Astros and Rangers fans can go kick some ass together
  11. I said pretty and kind, didn't say hot. And as the old saying goes: It doesn't matter how hot she is...
  12. I was surprised there wasn't a mutual option for his 40 year old year. I assume he'll need to play that year to get to 3000 because of the COVID year
  13. Yeah, I have no idea if the manager was racist or not. There were other black players on the team that didn't agree. Joe was rumored to always be a pain in the ass, and that's what the manager said was the reasoning. I mean it was 1971, a racist old white man isn't really a big stretch (his nickname was Little Dixie for goodness sake). But neither is Joe was a pain in the ass and didn't want to be held accountable. But just accepting either as fact seems a bit unnecessary. From everything I've seen, seems like Walker was just a prick more than a racist, but again, late 60s/early 70s, racist was in a lot of people's DNA even subconsciously
  14. When I was in college I had been dating my girlfriend from HS for almost 5 years. She was pretty and kind and could do book smart for class, but she had no common sense or general knowledge she sought. The lack of common sense got to be pretty grating and I was on the verge of ending it. Had a roomate come home after working for Boeing for a semester internship. Her: "Where have you been?" Him: "St. Louis for the semester for an internship" Her: "St. Louis, Chicago?" Him: "No" Me: "We have to talk" That was the final straw. Seems petty but it was a long time building. She's still a sweet person and I hope she's doing well out there with someone else dealing with that shit
  15. Doors are built. Hinges are on most of them and they are all sanded up and ready to be painted now. My to do list is ridiculous to get this all done in a timely manner.
  16. You knoowwww where we haven't gone in a while???
  17. But what was your point this time? That Dad's don't know what it's like to watch kids for long hours? I've spent easily 20X the time with my kids that my ex wife has.
  18. I have a ton of 40 I need to post somewhere. It's all FMJ and in ammo cans I moved them to when I moved last time to make it easier. Sold my 40s and standardized on 9. Anyone know a good place? Here?
  19. My wife calls to me from other rooms and I intentionally ignore her until she comes in the room I'm in. She knows I'm ignoring her because I've told her I can't hear for shit so I only know she's making noise at me. I used to try and listen, yell to her I can't hear her, she'd try 3 more times, and then I'd have to go where she is. This works so much better. The worst one is her knowing where I am, knowing I'm in the middle of shit, and calling me so that I have to stop what I'm doing, take off ear protection if in the garage, take off gloves if needed, and answer a call. Instead of just walking where I am like I do for her. That annoys the ever living shit out of me
  20. While my kitchen is getting redone I'm building a new vanity for the master bath. I'm going to have extra quartz from the kitchen so they are going to install the remnants for me in the bathroom. Which means I have 2 ish weeks to have this built and installed so they can put the counter on and install the sinks for me. One of these days I'm going to figure out sketchup, but not there yet. Paper and pad works fine
