  1. That was a hot box. I'm 39 and I enjoy it. When I went to a regular gym I got caught up alternating the same workout routines and it became boring. I like that every day is a new workout I probably have never done before. My class has the young guys that are really serious and good, and some older guys like me that I can workout with end be pushed by.
  2. Hard to believe right? Also, it's somehow a bigger bachelorette party destination.
  3. I was probably the weird/bad roommate my freshman year. I lived in Dobie in a 2 bedroom suite with a living room in between with 3 friends from HS. My mom came down a few weeks after I moved in for my birthday and for my bday present she gave me 2 live hamsters and a cage (wtf!?!?). I didn't have the heart to tell her to take them home with her, so I kept them. I was good about feeding/watering them, but not good at cleaning cage. After 2-3 weeks, they were able to chew through the cage and get loose. I was too cheap/lazy to go buy another cage, so I just let them free roam in our dorm room. I left them food and water in a corner, and they would only piss/shit in one particular corner. I would take whatever free sorority crush or random college free tshirt and leave in that corner. They would pee and shit on it and when it got bad I would just wad it up and go throw it away in the laundry room. They lived there for a couple of months, and for some reason would crawl into one of the roommate's bed when he was asleep and would always freak him out. I finally talked some girl into taking them. My roommate that I actually shared a room with bragged to me how much smarter he was than me and scheduled all late classes so he could sleep in every day. Every morning I woke up I would blare "Winds of Change" by Scorpions on my computer then password lock it before I left for class.
  4. They have to be making more than that. I remember Richie Whitt (sp?) wrote that article about all of the hosts turning their back on Greggo after he was booted and it said Greggo was making $500K at the time. That had to have been over 10 years ago too.
  5. Just got off the phone with our vet. He said from the MRI there is a mass in his right nasal cavity that has spread to some other part of his sinus. He said the next step is to decide if we want to go through with treatment, or make him comfortable the rest of his life. If we go through with treatment, they he will need a surgery for a biopsy to identify the type of cancer, then they will formulate a plan of chemo/radiation etc. Since our vet isn't an oncologist, he couldn't give us a recommendation on which path to choose and instead referred us to a vet oncologist who will be better equipped to make a recommendation. I will call this afternoon after they get his records from our vet to schedule a consultation. Our vet said there is no cure to eliminate the cancer, and his vision would most likely not come back. I'm not sure which choice I would prefer. It will be 2 years tomorrow since we had to put down our last dog who had degenerative something or other where her spinal cord started deteriorating. According to the vet, she was completely pain free but her back legs were 100% paralyzed. The vet left it up to us to determine her quality of life and we kept her around for 6 months. She had good days and bad, but in hindsight I feel we kept her around a little too long selfishly. This time I am hoping (selfishly) that the vet doesn't leave us with such an open ended decision about his life and tells us what we should do. He is adjusting amazingly to being blind, so much so that I am constantly checking to see if his eyesight has come back (it hasn't). He can navigate our entire first floor and enter and leave rooms on his own, find his water bowls, and goes straight to the back door and barks when he wants out. We never let him out alone, but he can walk across our back deck to one of the only 2 spots of grass we have to pee, then he walks around the pool to the other spot to take a shit. I took him on a walk the last 2 mornings, and he walks confidently down the street. He can even remember where a curb is (5 houses down) that he has to step over and starts high stepping as he gets closer. He will even go sit at our front window where he used to always sit and wait for another neighborhood dog to walk by and bark at them. He can't see them now obviously, but our other dog (who never used to bark at the other dogs walking by) will sit next to him and bark once to let him know a dog in his his yard and let him go crazy barking.
  6. Just took him in for MRI yesterday. They found a mass in his sinus cavity that is most likely cancer. Could also be a fungal something but unlikely. Waiting for our vet to call for next steps but the MRI place said it would probably be a biopsy.
  7. Speaking of little details, when you play Texas Hold 'em, after each hand the dealer picks up every card and stacks them before handing them to the next dealer.
  8. I do not, but I have one you can borrow
  9. Hopefully next week follows the party bus story line
  10. Our 8 year old golden retriever, Colt, woke up Sat morning completely fine, and by late afternoon was completely blind. So far we have been to our normal vet, and an eye specialist, and back to the eye specialist tomorrow and MRI next week. I'm not sure what best case scenario is for all of this, but it obviously sucks.
  11. This one is pretty sad, so apologies in advance. Our 8 year old golden retriever, Colt, woke up Sat morning completely fine, and by late afternoon was completely blind. So far we have been to our normal vet, and an eye specialist, and back to the eye specialist tomorrow and MRI next week. The tests show he is 100% blind, doesn't even react to a flashlight in his eyes. So far he has been drugged up on our bedroom floor and sleeps most of the day, but we occasionally have to lead him outside to piss/shit. I have the routine down and am able to steer him out by walking in front of him and snapping my fingers and calling his name and can get him outside to his typical shit spot, let him do his business, and back into his bed in <5 minutes. I get home from work yesterday and my wife is trying to lead him out to use the bathroom. For some reason she is behind him with her hand on the base of his tail talking to him like he is a blindfolded human. "A couple more steps Colt" "Watch out for that chair on your right Colt" "Turn to your left Colt" The whole time she is directly behind him and he is trying to turn around. I was pissed because the dog is already freaked out and now she is confusing him and screwing up the routine we have made for ourselves and admittedly snapped at her that the dog follows the source of her voice, and doesn't fucking speak English beyond "Colt", "Sit", "Treat".
  12. Saw Twitter exchanges last night that make it look like the reunion should be a good this season.
  13. DKR has a food truck in the stadium, over by the LHN setup.
  14. According to Twitter they start serving food today. I'll probably stop by for a late lunch/early start to weekend.
  15. You don't happen to be playing 10/30 are you?
  16. 5/6 parts are out, but behind a paywall. +Rep to anyone who can post them here.
  17. Not sure if something is off, but when I click the link it only gives data through Aug 2017.
  18. That was huge for him getting a strong and semi-strong team in on his side.
  19. You could tell he didn't watch the game. He said Sam went out after a few drives (it was first drive) and also said Sam was immediately in street clothes on the sideline (he was in pads until halftime when they reevaluated him).
  20. I don't have kids, and I say much worse about my wife on here than anything that's been said of ex-Hamm.
