  1. Waiting? I think you meant wanting... And yes, I too agree
  2. haha, nice Ran that fucker full blast, again, fucking up the paint job, again. The gas key is now hidden and I'm the designated turn-er on-er of the fireplace henceforth
  3. To bring this thread back on topic: I have busted my rear completely redoing our fireplace mantle, tile and the whole wall it's on. It looked great (see woodworking thread in hobbies). part of the reason for doing it is that my wife, for the second time, ran the fireplace full blast with the damper closed. Soot all over it. I was going to have to repaint it again and we wanted something different anyway. We're on about a week since I rebuilt it and it was completely done. Guess what happened on Friday night when she was drunk?? Well yeah, obviously we had sex. But guess what else??
  4. My first assumption is you are joking, but just in case you aren't: With all the respect in the world, if those are your questions then you aren't ready for marriage. Women aren't men. Men aren't women. That's on the whole obviously there are outliers and no one person is identical. So unless you have an outlier of the outliers that's the reason why to your questions. No woman is perfect. No relationship is perfect. As guys we know damn well we aren't perfect. Find someone that can handle your flaws and that you can handle theirs. Took me a long time to really understand that.
  5. There is at least a pair down near my house in Pearland. See them pretty regularly
  6. There is zero reason to not keep both of them. We need elite relievers. I actually think if 2/22 is right, go get Neris back too. But again, not my money
  7. My dad used to dub videos all the time. We had hundreds of them. He'd find a movie he knew no one liked and then would record porn over it and just leave it on the same shelf. Worked great for him until the next door neighbor's kid was over and my mom leant them a movie they wanted to see... Pretty sure it was less than 3 months before they finally got a divorce (the drinking and wife beating were higher on the list of reasons to be fair). But I still always found the porn thing funny
  8. Clearly they thought she was fucking around. Really didn't take long for people to react and help though. Also, in a place like that people always think someone that works there will help.
  9. Come on, like any long-term closer deal has EVER been bad... oh... wait...
  10. Sam Jones has 10, is he also better than them? Robert Horry has 7, is he better than Jordan? Stop it man. Rings are great and they matter. But again, you and I both know that list of players I wrote are better. And it's kind of silly to argue it. If you want to do a "in their era list" then cool, Russel probably goes higher. I don't do that, and I think it's kind of silly to do it the way you do it. Either way, there is no basketball skill argument for him over those guys
  11. Cool, you have an opinion too. If you think Bill Russell is better than Kareem, Wilt, Shaq, Dream, Malone, Giannis or Robinson then I don't know what to tell you. Those guys would eat him up 100 times out of 100. That's guys from multiple eras and one that actually did.
  12. Correct? I think you're getting the point. Genuinely don't care if people agree with me. I'm content in my belief and that's all any of us have because we don't actually know. But Wilt had half the team and owned Bill. You can pull some stats up that make you think it was closer, but it just wasn't. Rasheed is the perfect comparison, they had very similar games. Y'all are underrating the hell out of Wallace much more than I'm underrating Bill. Reading comprehension man, that's not what I said. I said I have to look and see what those guys skills were and what type of game they had. Do you really think George Mikan could hang with the top 200 guys in 2023? Wilt absolutely could play in today's era. So could Oscar Robertson and a number of guys. Russell was great, and I have him in the top 20, but this "he's the greatest center of all time, or top 5 all time player" is fucking laughable.
  13. Google Calendars all day. Perfect tool for me. And iphone has a google calendar app so you don't need to use the native one. I think the app works very well, but yes I do 95% on my computer.
  14. I will never understand why guys will allow this to happen to themselves. Get a calendar, agree with your wife to put all events there, and do the same for your stuff. There is zero excuse and you don't have to look bad if you forgot, just look each day for 8 seconds at it. Then if it's not on the calendar you have an amazing out. My wife is the one that does this to me, and having the calendar makes my life so much easier. I've gotten out of going to all kinds of stuff because it wasn't on the calendar and my plans were.
  15. That's a lot of jumping to conclusions, but have fun. And I've always done that but you don't have to. That's my criteria. Do I think a guy's game would change given like conditions. I think Russel, with every advantage of today is Rasheed Wallace. You don't have to agree, but my belief is educated and has basis behind it. I think Wilt gets even better in today's game. Wouldn't have the outlandish statistics, but would still dominate. And no Bob Pettit isn't better than Tim Duncan. There you go
  16. And if you put Rasheed directly in his shoes he does the majority of that except he's probably still a dick head. As a basketball player they are a lot more similar than you are stating. In fact, basically the same guy IMO. As a person, obviously that's where the conversation stops. Bill Russell would not be a "very good" player in this era or the Jordan era or the era before that. He just wouldn't be. Yes he won 11 rings, he also had 6 other Hall of Famers and a Hall of Fame coach. He also played in an era with 8 teams for a lot of that. And in an era when most teams had 1 or 2 black players, or even none. Sorry, Russell is easily the most overrated player in NBA history. Still a solid guy that cared about people and tried to make a difference. Doesn't make him a guy that should be considered top 10 all time. It's all opinion, and that's mine.
  17. Pretty damn accurate one at that. Tell me where I'm wrong
  18. You beat me too it. With all due respect, 3.1 mm on a one year arbitration deal is about as benign a contract as exists. Spending 40mm a year for 10 years on a guy that falls apart in year 3 is how you kill a dynasty. Paying a guy 3mm does nothing to anything
  19. I think it's that and how bad he was the year prior. He was a solid utility player last year that played great defense. Those guys don't typically have repeat years like that. But 3.1mm is nothing, and if that's hampering our budget then it just is what it is. You can't go buy a better player on the market for 3.1MM
  20. The creme de la creme of it is fuck to duck. But the most annoying is iOS never knowing if I mean well or we'll. The grammar context is easily there, they do it properly with so many words.
  21. Not quite done yet, still needs another coat of paint and grouting of the tile, but the mantle is built and tile is up! Reminder I'm squaring off the right and replacing the doors with shaker ones later on, so the look will be complete then. Also going to paint my frame for the frame tv a better gold. The sand gold just doesn't work Build done: First coat of paint: Second coat of paint:
  22. Team probably directly lobbied for that day off in scenic Cincinnati. Get some shitty chili and chill
  23. Well isn't that nice, my wife doesn't return shit. She says she will but it's always on me. Frankly I don't care, it gets done, but if I didn't do it, it wouldn't. But I actually am a believer in the buy both possible sizes if I can't try it on in person and return the one that doesn't fit.
  24. Luckily I have zero ego when it comes to weight lifting. I'm tall with long arms and bad knees. I just want to get rid of this fat blob I have left and put on some lean muscle. I have zero need to be Arnold or even Ryan Reynolds. I just don't want to be fat anymore And stretching is my biggest issue of all issues. I have to figure out how to get that in. It's probably the most important thing I can do for my joints and sadly I just haven't done it for a very long time
