  1. I think it's funny that he thinks his offspring would want to fight for him. Or do his bidding in any way. Or even talk to him. Track record says otherwise.
  2. Just like Bert Auburn, you think you're good at your job as well.
  3. That is ALSO what she said.
  4. It's a shame we don't have an option to take this attitude with your posting.
  5. I'll give my own anecdotal evidence and let folks do what they will with it. I will say I attempted to get back onto ADHD medicine as an adult and didn't like it, so I slough through life without it. Anyway. I am adopted. My records indicate that my father was 6'1 or so, and my mother was 5'10, if I remember correctly. I was always the tallest kid in class when I was younger. My mom was a former teacher, she knew I was ADHD, but docs wouldn't prescribe me Ritalin because I made straight A's in elementary school. Finally my mom found a psychiatrist was like "Yeah, this kid is classic ADHD" and prescribed Ritalin to me when I was in the 5th grade. At the time, I was 5'10", and doctors had projected my growth in the 6'7" or 6'8" range. I took Ritalin through HS, and from 5th grade to puberty, I only grew 5 inches, and I'm now a hair shy of 6'3". Now, that worked out for me, because man, 6'7" would not have been super cool, but 6'3" works out just fine, assuming Ritalin did stunt my growth. Not sure if my genes are of the 6'7" variety or not, but also anecdotally, my wife is 5'3" and our son is also generally the biggest kid in his grade thus far. He's 7, most folks assume he's like 9-10. We'll see how tall he ends up considering he's got his mom's 5'3" weighing him down. If he also ends up around my height, well, maybe I did have those 6'7" genes after all.
  6. I'm all for violence, but I'm not super keen on seeing a Final Solution implemented on an opposing QB. Unless it's at A&M or OU, maybe.
  7. How long can the oil industry shoulder 60 dollars per barrel without laying the fuck off people and shutting down any field expansion, or even re-working older wells?
  8. That's a weird way for the guy to beg his peers to buy his family baseball tickets for Saturday and Sunday.
  9. To be fair, I'm still watching it happen. I'm just enjoying it now because it's happening in College Station.
  10. You say "the government" but it's really just one asshole. Sure, he's at the top of the government, but he fucking hates the IRS more than you do...
  11. I'm not so sure. I think it more likely that they'll eventually riot in the streets while enduring all of the pain regardless. Sigh.
  12. Some some prognosticators, maybe it was the Bank of America CEO, say they think the bottom is when the S&P hits 4800.
  13. I think the US Govt (elected and appointed officials) will be more keen to stay this course longer than the American consumer. But maybe I'm wrong. Maybe 40% of Americans are too stupid to realize what has caused the deep recession we'll all be living in 6 months from now.
  14. Well, it’s certainly changed location since the current head coaches office is in the Sourh Endzone.
  15. “I still want to see deadly accuracy down the field.” Oh, it’s so easy to just develop that, Quinn Ewers out front shoulda told him.
  16. The little girl? Some on this site would say so.
  17. I mean, the world didn’t end during the Great Depression, World War II, the Spanish flu, the dark ages, the black plague, ice ages or even extinction level events. But it sure as hell got unpleasant to live here for extended periods of time. Real unpleasant. I, for one, do not wish to live in interesting times, and there is a reason that is a Chinese curse.
  18. Why are you arguing with GRUHorn?
  19. Came to post this. Even with normal inflation and the rapid cost of living increases, I don’t think 100k is going to give you the retirement you want/need. And that’s before you throw in the possibility of elder care for yourself (and not your kids).
  20. I googled hongo and hard shell and found this Reddit thread. Looks different but maybe it’s a leftover root structure: https://www.reddit.com/r/lawncare/s/r4G8e1yjot
  21. Did a treee used to be around there?
  22. My guy basically laughed at the idea of the first oil change before 100 hours, fwiw.
