  1. What do people that live in places like Des Moines NM do to survive?
  2. Well they think they are which is probably all that matter when there are some many denominations claiming to be the one true faith.
  3. Better line-up than I expected even with Rodney Redes still existing.
  4. Post hike meal at Storm's in Lampasas is a requirement for us too
  5. I don't think any area that has an aquarium, 5 museums, a Trader Joe's, the Naval Postgraduate School, an airport with 8 non-stop connections, or freaking Pebble Beach qualifies for this thread. I would move there in a heartbeat, but I'm not moving to Memphis, TX.
  6. It's the Borderlands, so now it's time to argue about nachos.
  7. I'm 35thish generation WASP so no interesting background here, but the wife has a lot to be proud of and truly has experienced the American dream. Her grandma was born in 35 in Zacatecas and her great grandmother thought that she was needed at home doing chores so she never allowed her daughter to attend school to learn to read and write Spanish or really do anything but cook, clean, and run the ranchito (even at 88 now she can still kill/clean a chicken really fast, but now she usually just buys em pre kilt. Age ruins everything) Grandma had wife's mom in 65 and then in 80 paid what little money she had to have her cross into the USA to attend high school and live with family in Los Angeles. Mom gets to LA as a 15 year old and is told she needs to drop out and get a job to support her LA family so she does. Wife is born in 95 to a 60 year old deadbeat dad and her 30 year old mom and then mom eventually leaves and takes all 4 kids with her. They eventually reach Texas where mom works in a poultry factory until she has to quit due to the pain of being a factory worker for 30 years. My wife saw all of this and knew she didn't want to live that way so she did great in high school, got herself her BA in Spanish, her masters in Education, and now teaches a 2nd grade class that is half in English and half in Spanish which she thinks is the best job on the planet helping kids like she was keep their culture. She's been through shit I can only imagine compared to my Andy Bernard Baylor legacy life, but she "made it".
  8. My brother in law moved to Acuna and knocked up his dad's new wife's daughter (so his step sister) and now commutes back and forth between San Antonio where he works in construction and Acuna every weekend....finish high school kids. Also just play it safe in Mexico and you'll have a great time. How many people do you know that have been to Mexico and how many people do you know that have been murdered on those trips to Mexico?
  9. It was one of my favorites too but my mom used cream of chicken instead of cream of mushroom.
  10. And don't forget Chester's Fried Chicken either.
  11. Anyone know how to watch the game on Tuesday? I have tickets to the home leg, but can't make it to DR in the middle of the week
  12. This team is so damn frustrating so far.
  13. I'd take another one if they'll give us one.
  14. Hell I'll donate to that cause. Build the wall!
  15. That's what's great about fruit. Even when you don't try in a year they produce.
  16. Yeah please delete the one I started as my dumbass apparently searches like an 80 year old. Or maybe we'll get a lot of rain with two threads
  17. Hurricane force winds hit Corsicana so that's no fun.
  18. Ended up being a great storm for me south of Waco. Wind wasn't too bad based on our fence configuration , no hail, no nadoes, just a crap ton of rain. Peach tree is blooming. Plum tree, blackberries, and dewberries starting to wake up too. Spring is here in Texas bitches.
