  1. My wife's cousin and wife fostered two boys (one born addicted and going through withdrawals). They were approached by CPS about fostering the boy's two sisters which they gladly did. They are soon to be the adoptive parents of the four children. They were approached by CPS that the mother was pregnant again (and still on drugs) and asking them to take the fifth child. They declined and it almost wrecked them emotionally to do it. They are really great kids that got dealt a shit hand.
  2. Is it their voices not being heard or is it that they aren't getting their way? Seems to me their voices were heard and studies were commissioned, they just didn't get the results they wanted. A trophy and medal for everyone.
  3. Just read that Mickey Kross, one of the firefighters that survived the collapse in The Miracle of Stairwell B (the one that didn't look good at all in the documentary) passed away 4 days ago
  4. There were also several smaller fires around the Derkaville/Hutto area
  5. I can't imagine finding out that while you were saying the Lord's Prayer with the injured co-worker, your sister and niece died right over your head on the second plane. Talk about feeling cursed.
  6. That's Kermit Ruffins playing
  7. The H10 feed came back live but not sure they realized it. One of the guys said he just found out his sister had a heart attack last night and was trying to find out his she is doing. They then went to constant commercial stream they are in now
  8. Pflugerville had 165 with a lot fewer students...we win?
  9. I heard that they already had plans for a replacement for Watts. Some young whippersnapper (at least compared to Charlie) of 64 or so.
  10. There has to be something that shows the road ahead, right? Some of those corners were blind and I don't see how you could memorize a non-repetitive track that well. Even rally racers have the navigator in-car calling out corners and severity ahead of time
  11. You won't regret getting the blower. It runs on a bigger battery (that can still be used by the trimmer) and puts out more air than my Stihl gas powered
  12. Have a Vietnam veteran in the office right now and told him of Mr. Galloway's passing. He said that that book and the movie are the closest he's seen to what it was actually like over there. Ed served two tours including having only been in country about a month before the Tet offensive. The quietest spoken man you'll ever meet.
  13. Try the cheese gordita crunch. It's pretty close.
  14. And the school board is only concerned about getting the new schools named after themselves and building athletic complexes that no one wants. It's a really well run school district.
  15. Somewhat obscure movie based on A Prayer for Owen Meaney...Simon Birch
  16. Are you sure a rapid test will work for where ever you are going? When we went to Turks and Caicos it had to be the PCR nasal swab and specifically not the rapid test. We went with some offshoot of CPL Laboratories and it wasn't cheap (something like $250 or so) but we got it back the next morning.
  17. Looked like he hyperextended his knee. Might have slipped on the board a bit Sent from my SM-G998U using Tapatalk
  18. You just can't teach prancing like that... it's a gift! Ummm....something about avatar and appropriateness
  19. Has anyone mentioned the fucking cat cafe from Tokyo hosted by Microsoft? The people absolutely fascinated by the stream need to be sterilized to prevent more idiocracy. There, I feel a little better.
  20. You know the song...It never rains in Southern California...until you get grandstand seats for the Rose Bowl parade on January 1, 2006. Then it pours for hours.
  21. Reminds me of the Texas offense during Cat's career here
  22. The Travis County text messages have started up again
  23. Just got around the watching the Chyna show. It was not the most uplifting show that I've watched to say the least. Is it just me or is Stephanie McMahon beginning to resemble Chyna?
  24. So...what happens if you test positive for the return trip? Heading to Turks and Caicos on Saturday. Had the PCR test Tuesday, both negative (wife and I both vaccinated several months ago). Just got a call from daughter who was at July 4th family party with us and she tested (quick test so chance of error) positive for Covid today. She was asymptomatic up until yesterday. She is getting the PCR test to verify the positive. She has an idea when she might have gotten it (Friday outdoor volleyball) as several people that were there have now tested positive. I'm just the old fart that doesn't understand things when I tried to get them to get the vaccine as they both (son and daughter) work in the construction industry.
  25. We have an in with a big supplier so we are usually able to buy at wholesale. We buy about $2,000 or so, get the wholesale price plus a 15% discount. Usually takes about 30-40 minutes to shoot them all and that is moving pretty fast (four tables with 2 people per table). This year, different story. Due to supply constraints, had to pay retail so got about a third of the amount that we usually get (still spent the same amount). Only took about 12 minutes to fire them off this year. Still was a pretty good show. One of these days, I'll retire from handling it all and just enjoy it.
