  2. Upgrading in Oak Forest would probably be our ideal scenario, it just seems impossible to find something I’d actually want to buy and zoned to the schools we’d want that isn’t outrageous. Even a fixer seems so high that I don’t think I could justify it. It’s really just a question of mixing affordability, good schools, commute time, and reality. I guess at least we don’t have Austin prices 😅
  3. I prefer the Columbia UT polos over the Nike ones. I find the size is more predictable and they aren’t as boxy.
  4. I’m at risk here of starting this thread in the wrong place, but I figured this may be as good as any. Looking for some advice on some different areas on the edges of Houston proper… currently own my house in oak forest but with a growing family, I want a bigger house that’s not stupid budget-wise. We like some parts of Jersey village-ish (5-7 min up 290 from us currently) both inside and right outside the beltway. We have some friends about to move clear lake so I looked that up and was astonished to see I could get the same amount of house plus a pool for 200k less or so. I work downtown so basically anything more than 10 min outside the beltway is a no-go, but do any of y’all that are fr clear lake or other fairly close, comparable suburbs have any input? 550k is about max what I’d want fo spend but seeing the same thing (or better) for under 400k is awfully tempting. Just trying to really work a pros and cons list outside of the obvious
  5. Numbies in this context = numbers, as in getting lots of engagement numbers (retweets, replies) on Twitter.
  6. just watched Band of Brothers
  7. I think you answered your own question. I have no problems at all with this he one that I bought on the Walmart sale.
  8. I’m just here to say that I have a strong feeling bottom left could suck the chrome off a trailer hitch.
  9. Holy shit, dude. Respek!
  10. I bought one from Walmart recently while it was on sale and have a hard time believing there would be a better quality black stone option. It’s better made than most propane grills I’ve had/used, especially at that price point. Maybe your Lowe’s or whatever just had a lemon on display, but mine is super sturdy and I have 0 complaints. YMMV I guess but I wouldn’t spend an extra $100 for an upgrade even if that were the case.
  11. While this wasn’t directed solely at me, I’ll say that I’d been looking/waiting to buy one for far too long and this was the best deal I’d seen, especially considering the hard top lid (~$100 on its own otherwise) is included. I don’t think you’ll see a deal that’s appreciably better.
  12. William Walton tackles Sooners by the hundreds! Aye, and he consumes crimson tide with fireballs from his eyes, and bolts of lightning from his arse!
  13. The bottom line is that this thread is almost too stupid to read. I know a few normal aggies (2%ers to be sure) but man does their collective just poison the well for the rest of them.
  14. Prepare for your ~2 year old to all the sudden seem MASSIVE though compared to the baby.
  15. I’m on paternity leave so I have a little time on my hands while my oldest is at daycare and wife/MIL are taking care of the baby. Also have a need to stock my freezer with easy meals once MIL leaves and my leave is up. I can’t validate authenticity since I’ve never been inside an elementary school in SA, but these got high marks from everyone. Newborn was going nuts around dinner time so I forgot to top with extra cheese and onions, but that’s a quick fix for next time.
  16. Thank you for this, I think that’s exactly what I needed to hear. We were both just leaning toward having it snipped at first, but a lactation consultant was pretty adamant that based on my son’s tie, which while not impeding his eating still seems pretty severe, would reconnect and be problematic again later unless we did the tongue exercises/massages and the full cut with the laser.
  17. Anyone’s kid have a tongue tie when they were born? Trying to figure out the best course of action re: snipping vs laser. Kinda leaning towards clipping on the advice from our pediatrician but would love to hear anyone else’s experience with either. Doesn’t seem to be too bad except it hurts my wife to feed, but he got back up to birth weight in 3 days so he’s able to eat ok.
  18. Pretty sure this one is a Douglas too. Every good Longhorn dad needs to get their kids one of these. He just happened to grab this one out of his bin before I put him in his crib tonight, so good timing.
  19. I have a photo reel set up as my iPhone background that changes periodically that’s just all my favorite pictures in my photo album. Always nice to see when I open my phone.
  20. My cup runneth over, for the second time. Definitely a different feeling than after having the first - now that we’re home I’m not fully consumed by him like i was with the first, but looking forward to the connection that builds and to see the bond my two boys will form. My almost 2 year old has no idea what’s going on right now, but I can’t wait to see the switch finally turn on and have him realize the gift he has in a little brother.
  21. There were beans in my chili, but my wife asks me to put beans in there, and she is having our second child tomorrow so clearly I’ve been laid at least twice which is pretty great.
  22. Unrolled thread if you don’t want to deal with Twitter: https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1674033127323316225.html
