  1. I didn't think it was possible to be "inside" a tornado - I thought it was like a vacuum in there. Is that what he actually means, like being in the eye of a hurricane?
  2. Yeah, he's 41. Been through some shit in the last few months but other than the (probably) benign brain tumor, he's healthy.
  3. I mean, the rule about being 24 hours fever-free is what I would assume, but again, I don't know if that applies to this particular illness. A loved one is having brain surgery Thursday (here in Austin) and while I would normally not worry a ton about something like coronavirus at this point, this whole situation has me worried more than usual. I assume his immunity will be compromised for a while.
  4. My dogs are major chewers. Water buffalo horns are favorites. For plush toys, the only ones that've ever lasted more than a day are Fluff n'Tuff brand. The beach ball is the best one because it doesn't have a head or limbs for them to chew off instantly, but others that have lasted a long time (more than a few weeks) are the caterpillar and hippo. In Austin you can get them at Kriser's on Great Hills, but they also have them on Amazon.

  6. Rocket's back living that cone-free life, at least till it's time to operate on the next hip. He's recovering really well, considering he had part of his femur removed. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  7. Last weekend at Jason's Deli I saw a kid pick up a salad bar plate, lick it, use tongs to get a bunch of shredded cheese and put that on his plate, glance at his mother next to him to make sure she wasn't looking, then ditch the tongs to stick his hand in the shredded cheese and put more on his plate. So that's how we're all going to get coronavirus.
  8. I keep going back to this. Makes me laugh every time.
  9. I may be in a cone but Edgar will get this caterpillar over my dead body. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  10. It's definitely easier to eat without the cone. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  11. We tried the donut the last time he needed a cone and it deflated within a couple of hours. Had better luck with the soft cone but I think it will be too short for where his incision is this time. I wish we could get away with something smaller than the regular e-collar, though. Our house isn't big and he whacks it into everything just trying to get around.
  12. Rocket had the first of two femoral head ostectomies yesterday. This one was on the worst side, the one where his hip was basically permanently dislocated because the joint was nonexistent. He's grumpy but less about pain and more because he can't jump on Edgar and keeps wacking into everything with the cone. They'll operate on the other side in a few months once this side is healed up.

  13. I've read both 'Salem's Lot and The Stand. About an hour and some change into the Gunslinger, I tabled it and am relistening to The Stand. Hard to pass judgement without finishing it, but that first hour was hot garbage. I tried several times to read The Gunslinger and have never been able to get into it. And I'm a well-documented fan of most of King's work, and The Stand is one of my favorite books ever. This one just didn't sit right with me.
  14. Ohhh the Boots Riley film.
  15. Don't know this one, but was it done by the guy who did The Lobster? Because it sounds like him.
  16. BEST PICTURE! Holy shit!
  17. Agree completely. I was expecting it to be one thing and it took a completely different turn. It has to win Best International Film tonight.
  18. It's not going to be easy with this big gangly pissflap who moves like…hey, what do you move like? I move as slowly as a Mississippi detective investigating the murder of a young black man, sir.
  19. Hits All of these:
  20. The yoga Instagram girl falling off a balcony while filming herself trying to do a stupid stunt is the most Austin thing I've seen so far on this show.
  21. I had to stop watching during the eating contest scene. For so. many. reasons.
  22. If someone said to me, "Austingirl, give me the best example you can think of of the most Surly/Shaggy way to derail a thread," it would definitely be someone (presumably) accidentally posting a link to besthugecocks.com in a thread where everyone is mourning a beloved dead celebrity.
  23. LOL I guess it isn't an inside joke. Funniest thing I've seen in a loooong time.
  24. Am I missing a joke with the url at the top of your post?
