  2. My wife has big time allergy issues so we have had to get hypoallergenic dogs over our 30 years. We had a Maltese that was dumb as hell but that stupid dog devastated me when we had to put him down in 2018, I still can work myself into tears if I think about it too much. About a year ago we got a miniature poodle (not a toy), she is smart as hell, not yappy, alerts you to someone at the door just enough to not be annoying. It took years to teach the Maltese to do basic stuff and 1/2 the time he would just look at you confused. The poodle picked up everything we have ever tried. We had to put child locks on her food cabinet because she figured out how to open the door. Not even sure how she reached ha.
  3. We have been avg to bad for a decade and have more money than anyone, of course we are a target. If only there was a way to shut them all up.

    My old college roommate left the stadium at that time to beat traffic. He got so much shit from everyone after the game, I'm not sure that he even watches football anymore. It broke him.
  5. Got my Raptor build date - Sept 21st. Should be here by end of Oct. Code Orange.
  6. We bought a house on the beach on the west end of Galveston, proximity was key for me. I need to be able to work down there and come up to the shop if needed -so being about 1 hour from my office is nice. Galveston gets a lot of hate, but i love going down there, sitting on my balcony, drinking and just watching the waves.
  7. i hired a kid that was an asst manager at CFA, was 19/20 years old. In less than two years that guy now runs my warehouse and all shipping logistics for overseas freight. Dude just gets it.
  8. Speaking of West Galveston, I just bought a house on the beach, ready to start surf fishing soon. Helpful hints or forums to get started? TIA.
  9. It is better than the first one. Margo Robbie is a smoke show. If that is enough for you, watch it on HBO max.
  10. First as a student Stanford 86 First as a kid was 76 aggy game.
  11. Its an epic clusterfuck of teenagers this week too. Can't wait to get out of here.
  12. Goodbye and Good Luck ! To make it thread related, the message the remaining 8 get to hear when calling austin and norman.
  13. Tell us you don't live in the Katy - Cypress corridor without telling us.
  14. My point had nothing to do with wins or losses. Our home schedule is an abortion: rice, ull, tech, osu and the kansas twins. Who caaaares. I could not care less about the Big 12 or any of the teams outside of OUsux. I want Texas to win, and i will watch, but this conference is an albatross around our necks.
  15. We need to get out of this fucking conference.
  16. Huh? No that’s not what’s happening at all
  17. What did you do for hard core fasting? @49, I'm fighting my ass off to stay under 250(5'11). Just two years ago, I was a comfortable 220. Really simply. I ate once a week. Thats it. Drank water and took vitamins. I did one long 22 day fast, which was a bit hardcore, but mostly, just ate once a week.
  18. Holy shit this. I don't know how many times i have heard "it was easy for you". Fuuuuuuck you, you still fat fuck. It was hard and it sucked balls.
  19. Everyone tells you you are going to fail - the fat ones secretly want you to fail so they don't look bad in comparison. Everyone tells you what you are doing is crazy (and what i was doing was hard and a little crazy - i can detail it if anyone cares). I stopped telling people what i was doing to lose weight, my mother was convinced i was going to die. I straight up started lying about what i was doing, i started telling people i was just eating healthy and exercising more. And yes the first 50-70lbs everyone is one board (those who didn't know about the fasting) but as i got closer to 200lbs , people who before weren't bothered by me skipping meals started saying things like, "you are already pretty thin and healthy, you can come out with us drinking and pizza this one time". There is a huge social aspect to eating, for me that was the hardest part, i was still cooking my family meals, but i wasn't eating them. There is a lot of brain power thinking about "what are we going to eat for lunch", "what are we doing for dinner" that takes up a big part of most peoples days. It is hard to get away from mentally. It is hard, it isn't fun. But i ate literally whatever i wanted for 15 years, so now, i have to pay for it. I have accepted it, I cant eat like a normal person, its okay, after 3 years it doesn't even phase me anymore. I ran the Houston marathon in Jan 2003 at 194lbs - by Dec 2007 i was over 320lbs - there are reasons, but its all bullshit - i just liked overeating.
  20. On TOS there was a fasting thread, and i talked a bit about some of my hard core fasting. I lost 150lbs in about 8 months and after almost 3 years I'm still 125 down. So went from 345 to 195, and i hover around 225 now (I'm 6'1 and 53 years old). So not close to skinny, but can tie my shoes and run a 10k without dying. All that to say I have some experience being fat ( i had a decade of big time obesity and a life time of needing to lose a few). I understand them. Those fatties know they are fat, they have just given up and don't think they can fix it. Every minute of the day they think about their weight, they don't go on family vacations, or if they do, it is reluctantly. That guy debated about going to the astros game because those seats are small and he knew they will be in the next person's way sitting there - but someone convinced them and they couldn't tell them why they didn't want to go. They wake up every Monday morning saying today is the day it will change and they fail by lunch. Over and over, decade after decade they fail. All that failure is just a beating and have given up. They have accepted their fate - they are committing suicide, and they know it, and they hate themselves way more than you hate them.
  21. I dont disagree, i don't particularly like them. I just think for resale in the future, a high spec car "needs" them. I just have a lowly 2018 T that i bought certified last year, it doesn't have PCCBs.
  22. I think your build, being that track focused with buckets, rear delete, aero, carbon fiber etc, probably needs ceramic brakes as well IMO. It is beautiful.
  23. Yah now that i read my post, i didn't mean it quite a snarky as it sounded. Let me rephrase, what are you using honey for? i haven't eaten breakfast in 30 years, so that's probably it.
  24. How much honey are you people eating? I probably have had the same container of honey in the back of my fridge for the last 10 years.
