    Democrats have incompetent leadership, refuse to learn from mistakes, and are generally out of touch as a party.  Republicans are well organized evil.

    Outlook is not so good.

  2. just finished the Haunting of Hill House based on recs in this thread...i have to say that was extremely well done. every ep had an entire film's worth of genuine fright moments. i jumped. a lot. lol.

    well acted, especially the women... and is it me or did Henry Thomas grow up to have a weird face? 🤨 almost looks like botched plastic surgery or something, his mouth is shaped weird.

    anyway, for a horror show it packed a surprisingly emotional punch in the end. the 'bent neck lady' reveal was legit 'holy shit!'

    I'm a terrible person but one of my favorite ever teams on Amazing race were the sisters, one of whom happened to be a midget...

    Charla Faddoul

     

    yes! the fights they had with Colin and Christi were epic! i remember one fight at an airport in Africa, the taller one screaming some obscenities in Armenian at Colin and spitting on the ground like an old world gypsy curse or something. my god she was furious 🤣

  4. i always felt that for The Sopranos to be true to its essence, to be an honest and real character study, a show that didn't 'cheat' the viewers after our years of watching... that Tony had to end up either in prison or dead. 

  5. i loved The Amazing Race for many seasons. loved the adventure, the difficulty, enjoyed when the contestants would really embrace other cultures, and when it would become incredibly uncomfortable, seeing how different people would handle it. but...i lost more and more interest as the teams became more 'famous' and contrived themselves - contestants from other reality shows, NBA wives,  etc. i preferred when it was regular people, but i realize i am probably the minority. teams like Danny and Oswald, Chip and Kim, Blake and Paige, Colin and Christi (GOATs imo lol)

    we also like competition cooking shows, everything from BBF to Hell's Kitchen. 

    def prefer more straight competition than scheming/lying type. 

    haven't watched a 'real life' type show since probably The Osbournes 😄

  6. republicans oppose higher order and critical thinking skills.

    that literally explains everything. 

    i mean shame on me but i legit did not know that these knuckleheads ADMIT IT AND PUT IT IN WRITING.

     The movie has lots of women talking about some of the male talent on display. Girls not normally into epic sci fi but have some weird thing about Timothee Chalamet or the other male leads.

    Timothee Chalamet seems like a very nice young man. very nice. 😊 

    also, the fact that he is close friends with Pete Davidson tells me he's probably pretty chill despite his european aristocratic good looks lol.

  8. Nirvana completely unnerved Shiv and made her go nuclear, i would not have thought it was that easy to push her over the edge.

    kudos to Roman for refusing to sign on to airing of personal dirty laundry...'makes me feel unwell'...'so take me to reason court and sue me' 😄

    Logan is SO mean to Roman. and he just takes it.

    Ken makes me nervous just watching him!

    this show is so good.

    Our house was built in the 1880s and had had a few additions since. Our master bedroom is actually the largest room in the house at 510sf (only reason I know this is that we had plans made up for the addition). It’s pretty badass with a sitting area, full fire place, venturi transom, and many large windows designed to be a breezeway to catch the gulf wind. The other bedrooms are standard size by modern standard.   Our current master bathroom is the old trunk room so it’s pretty small. We are going add a new 210sf master bathroom over a rear flat roof that has been giving me issues.  Our old bathroom will become the bathroom for the new bedroom being built over a side flat roof on the other side of the house.   The original owner was a cotton trader who made a lot of $$ exporting to Europe.  It later become an embassy.    We are lucky in that it all pretty original with all the OG woodwork still unpainted.  

    Yep. We have a parlor, masonry ice house (where they used to store blocks of Ice back the day), formal dining room, etc.  my office is now a play room, hence why we are adding a new one.  

    Will be four.  So each kid will have their own room and bathroom. Plus a guest area. 

    so is your house on the Galveston historic homes tour? we did that once and the homes were just amazing! i loved seeing how they'd been modernized but somehow completely kept all the historical character. and seeing the engineering of how some of them had been raised after 1900 hurricane. 

    my favorite was an upper floor condo in an old railroad station downtown. there was one on the east side that still used the original kitchen! rest of the house had a/c onstalled but the kitchen was open and just channeled the natural breezes. no thank you! lol

    I thought if we scored before half and made it 21-10 that might do it. 

     

    I have a general theory about teams that can't hold a lead: once they get ahead, just turn off the TV and wait a few hours.  That way you're spared the agony.  

    even better...my one aggy friend is also a gambler and frequently bets on Texas games. 

    after getting burned with ou and osu, he informed me today's he's figured it out...he bet Texas to lead at half and then lose the game, paid 7 to 1. he's thrilled. cocksucker.
