  1. So I've always wondered -- do you think she really needed those braces, or they were cosmetically installed for dramatic character effect?
  2. Somebody on KUT gave a cautionary remark that if the melting snow/ice doesn't all dry up today it could re-freeze overnight and cause delays on Wednesday. fwiw, I'm looking at the downtown streets from my office right now and it looks like they're drying up pretty quickly.
  3. My blood pressure has slowly been creeping up over the past 10 years or so (turned 50 this past December). I'm right at what is now the "elevated" number of 120/80. My doc hasn't prescribed any blood pressure mediation, and I've been holding steady with a combination of exercise, decreased sodium intake, and some supplements (l-citrulline and beet chews - who knows how effective they really are, but whatever). One of my best friends has been taking blood pressure medication since his 30s. He has hereditary high blood pressure, and he's been taking the same blood pressure medication that doctors have been prescribing since the 1950s or so. It's kept everything in check.
  4. My commute was fine. My neighborhood streets were slick in some areas and the layer of snow/ice wasn't worn though yet. But 183/Mopac to my office downtown was fine. Most of the traffic was driving in the 45 mph range to play it safe, which was good to see.
  5. Anyone make the commute to downtown via MoPac? Wondering when to head to the office.
  6. Blow piss up one’s ass?
  7. Guys, it’s really cold outside.
  8. “Got a wife and kids in Baltimore, Jack.”
  9. This post is all over the place.
  10. For Central Texas, my weather app currently shows a less than 15% chance of precipitation in Austin for the next couple days. Chances are higher south of us into San Antonio, but looks like maybe the streets in Austin will be fine tomorrow morning.
  11. Today I learned that pulp management is a thing.
  12. No shit. When I clicked on this thread I was expecting an arena league highlight.
  13. Surprised those remnants haven’t hit the portal by now.
  14. That band and that song sucked donkey ass. They never “hit it big.” But glad they helped you score.
  15. But I said, “What about Breakfast at Tiffany’s?”
  16. You could’ve been their Chris Knight.
  17. Del Boca Vista Seniors League.
  18. aggy would never let something like that happen.
