  1. How do you figure he’s mailing it in? George was in 4th because everyone moved out of his way. He made one pass. Hamilton was in a DRS train and Toto has come out and said their car is shit following. He’s had a podium. But, sure, he’s mailed it in.
  2. The dumbest one I saw on this rumor was Charles and Lewis. Anything for clicks..[emoji849]
  3. Taking the wife and my kid to the show. A concert at red rocks is a bucket list item for the wife and I. Kid is old enough to go now and he’s just picked up the guitar. Really looking forward to it. Those of you that have been to Red Rocks - what’s the parking situation? Go early and tailgate?
  4. The simple fact that Fatty still thinks Beto is a bigger POS than Greg Abbott is laughable.
  5. Any recs for a foam cannon to go with a power washer? I know Ryobi has one, but I read that their soap is $8 a wash. I know nothing about foam cannons… Can they use cheaper soap?
  6. I consider myself one of the lucky ones. We have the means and ability to hire an advocate ($100 an hour). I am able to work from anywhere in the world, so I’ve just stayed home. I have no clue if I’ve ever been formally allowed to be a remote employee. My wife has a great job, so if I ever was fired, we’d be ok. There are so many parents that don’t have the same resources we do and their kids are suffering. I left out the bullshit by the Gen Ed teachers at his school. I’m one of the first to say not all kids need to be in a normal Gen Ed setting. Mine was terrible and it did him and the other kids no good being in there. I still believe in the class he was placed in, but it needs WAY more and better resources. The administration needs to support these types of classes. Also, if anyone needs basic advice or info on anything related to IEP, ARD’s, or referrals of advocates / attorneys - let me know.
  7. Tapatalk is killing me with the extra posts. My apologies.
  8. I started with Google. Found a few and then found one that fit. If anyone in the Houston area needs one, I’ll find her website and send it.
  9. Double post
  10. Hi! I’ve been through hell and back with Fort Bend ISD Special Education. Once you request testing, they have 90 school days to complete it and then 60 to implement findings. It took us from basically early November of my sons first grade year until Spring Break to get him out of a general education class room. During that time, he was illegally suspended three times. I should have sued then. We were put into the Behavioral Support Services class at a different school. That went w pretty good through 2nd grade. I will say that we had an AMAZING teacher. The rest of the admin and teacher in that school - not so much. The kids in this program don’t fit typical special education. Their outbursts are often violent, so they get labeled as bad kids. They get forgotten for things like bench mark testing. This teacher fought for these things. Beginning third grade, Fort Bend found it brilliant to move us away from the ONE teacher my son bonded with and moved us to a school that would feed into his middle / high school. The principal told another parent she didn’t want this program on campus. They didn’t set it up correctly. They had a new guy that had never run a BSS class running it. My son did 10 worksheets from August until Thanksgiving. He was assaulted by the teacher. He was bullied and insulted by the teacher. The teacher took away bathroom privileges. I could continue…. We hired an advocate at this point. I highly recommend you use an advocate any time you meet with the school. The asshole was removed and our second grade teacher was moved over. The district had a meeting with us and formally apologized. We were given 40 hours of compensatitory services. One of my sons friends is around 400 hours of compensatitory services. My son is now home. He’s killing it doing online public education through Connection Academy. He will not set foot on a Fort Bend Campus again. I’m looking at GED at 16 or whatever to junior college or tech. School was ruined for him because he didn’t fit. TLDR: FortBend ISD special education is trash. Get an advocate for any ARD meetings, as they know all the rules and everything the district is supposed to do for you.

  13. Bad day for Charles:

  15. My wife and I have been through hell and back with our son and schools. At one point the asst director for Fort Bend ISD special education department was thanking us for not suing them. My son is now in Connections Academy - the online public education school. He’s killing it and happier than ever. My biggest advice is that if you can afford it - hire an advocate for any and all ARD meetings with the school. Also, as soon as you start public school (if you go that way), ask to get the testing process going. It is a long and slow process.
  16. Porn goes before premarital sex…
  17. Nope. Fuck him. Seeing #1 sitting on the side of the track is awesome.
  18. No, they don’t. The Ds control the Senate of and when Manchin’s owners tell him to be democrat.
  19. We went to battle field Vegas. I shot the .50 and the mini gun. The .50 is mounted but it’s still awesome to fire. I did one of their machine gun packages and added on the mini and .50. The wife also shot and loved it.
  20. All of this is to force Congress or the Supreme Court to act?
  21. My rep (TX-22) folks:
  22. Really? They are going to start this at 10pm Vegas time? Wow.
  23. I wonder how much a corner balcony room at Cosmo will be that weekend.
  24. Trump won’t pay for what he’s done, but maybe, just maybe there is enough to keep him from ever holding office again.
