    And note that we’re purposefully targeting citizens of our allies, like the UK and Germany.
    We are a hostile nation to all of our former allies now. And an ally to only a handful of nations, including Russia and Hungary.
    Bottom line, we completely switched sides overnight.

    Bingo

    This is becoming some concerning / worrisome S

    I've got to call BS...no way that's real....is it?

    Well, I can only say that I was going by what he told me.  I met him thru work, had to have been in the early to mid aughts.  

    I was chatting with him and of course we veered off-topic, talked about football, told him I used to have a 7-11 Slurpee trading cup of him, he saw my Longhorn koozi and he brought up the hit and the bruise.

    I didn’t know this was common knowledge. I just assumed he was parodying the average Dallas $50,000 millionaire. 

    I did too

    D1, P1, and I don't think it dawned on me that it's really a mixture of both until several years ago

    It's all a coke.

    Absolutely correct!!!

    They're all "cokes"

    The next question is "what kind of coke?".......coke coke, or Dr Pepper, or Pepsi, or whatever.......

    But wtf people still drink cokes is beyond me.......switch to water for a week and you'll never want soft drinks again

    - same goes with sugar in tea......go a week without sugar and that will become your norm

  5. In all fairness, I don’t know or care squat about the WNBA, but…..

    Chennedy Clark does look a little “off”…….based on her profile pic, so acts of unprovoked violence should come as no surprise, and….

     Matt Barnes speaks the truth, about teammates in general

    Our front yard is a problem. Our neighbor planted a tree on the edge of their property and it shades our property. We sodded maybe 5 years ago and each year our bermuda grass thins because of lack of sunlight. It pisses me off, but I don't think I have any options.

     

    That's a real shit move by your neighbor.........planting a tree which will ultimately effect their neighbors lawn, without discussing with the neighbor beforehand.

    You could gently hammer some copper nails into the base of that tree in the eyes of darkness.......that'll remedy your situation in due time.

    You listen to the tee box and just noticed that?

    Time to get back on the wagon 

    Nah, I've been noticing it for years, but just tolerate it

    Last week I was probably just in a surly mood, so felt the need together it off my chest

    I have a few misophonia issues 😠

    I have seen all my teams win a title now except Longhorns basketball. Been close a few years with some deep runs. No idea when or if that one will ever happen. Would be really cool if it ever does.

    Longhorns football is the best it has been since the end of the Mack Brown era of the 2000s. We have a good shot in the next years, including this year. Rangers now have a good future ahead of it for the next half decade. Stars looking very good. Finally some good around here for my teams.

    Man, I pretty much said the very same thing to everyone I care to speak to

    Texas basketball is the only one still out there lingering around......but it WILL happen in due time (hopefully while I'm still alive)

    It seems that replacing the elliptical with something would be the only change? What’s wrong with the current workout? I just quit running due to stress fractures in the foot and psoas muscle discomfort. 

    Thank you…….I’ve always felt that I’ve been doing pretty damn good for a number of years.

    Reckon I was just seeking verification from others that I’m doing OK

  10. Very long time daily reader, but very rare poster 

    Figured I’d add a little to this thread, and apologize for length of post

    Little boring history:

    • fixing to turn 60
    • 5’8,  162 lbs
    • non-smoker but having trouble stopping dipping 
    • former quite heavy drinker, stopped cold in Jan 2014 due to pretty f’ing bad seizure (4 months rehab) - turns out had a few untreated minor ones before big one 
    • Prior surgeries:  left ankle x2, left knee scope, fake left hip, fake right hip, right knee full blown, right leg open fracture tibia and fibula, right wrist/right elbow, and right shoulder that I refuse surgery on

    Been truly exercising for 30+/- years

    • Exercise: used to run, but had to give it up after hips…..and told to get treadmill and start strenuous walking…..did that for 20 years but recently had to stop and move to elliptical
    • Daily mornings during work week:  40 woodchops, 2 sets per side of straight side planks, 300 crunches, 35 mins on elliptical 
    • Every night:  30 mins of flexibility/stretching exercises

    No soreness

    I admit that I exercise mainly because I don’t want to be a fat-ass, but also because I’d guilt myself to death if I didn’t or if I even skipped a session

    Other than the woodchops, I can’t do much with weights (shoulder and elbow); however, I’d appreciate any feedback / suggestions about where I can improve on the aerobic side of things 

  11. Not sure if anyone heard one of the weekend shows replay the firework blast at Globe Life Park on Thur or Sat

    It was hilarious how loud it was inside the stadium……sounded like a bomb blast.

    I’m too stupid to find a replay, but if a smart person can find it, please post it.

    :)
