  1. Kids ruin stuff........always have and always will.......same as puppies. FWIW, I'd leave it as-is and leave it where it is, or maybe move it to a garden area. Then, y'all will have a story for years to come, when visitors ask "what happened to the bench".........or you'll smile about it for years to come when you glance at it.
  2. I've dealt with situations similar to this, and it's really not that difficult of a conversation as you anticipate. Just call the friend, and ask him how the heck he's doing. Apologize if you haven't been in touch recently, say he popped into your mind, so you wanted to touch base. Just have a conversation...let him be the one to bring up what's going on, and go from there. It's honestly not as difficult as you fear.....I promise.
  3. Suh is a dirty ass player…everyone knows that. But, “Taunting” is the gayest penalty in all of sports
  4. Oil the blades every now and then.....this problem will disappear
  5. Amen to this.....but my situation differs a tiny bit. My neighbor refuses to remove his trash carts from the street, most always. I live in an unincorporated area of the county, so no enforcement of code compliance rules...however, everyone else on the street does the right thing and puts their carts up, like good humans do. Plus, his yard looks like shit, and he mows with knee high rubber boots on. I hope bad things happen to him, and his wife who doesn't seem to enforce any home rules.
  6. Pretty much any movie where Christopher Walken is involved (minus musicals) Some of them (movies) may suck as a whole, but his role is worth worth the price of admission.
  7. I did leave that out, but not purposely. What you're saying is dead-on correct, and I'm obviously not well-versed enough to have ventured into this discussion...I admit that. Just fed-up and wish they'd just simplify this voting situation.....then move on to more pressing things, like our out of control property taxes. Please forgive my rant
  8. I truly don't understand why I keep getting ripped over my post. I just did a poor job, of actually saying what I really meant......just think they need to simplify, what should be an easy voting process: - have an Election Day, with polls open from 5a - 8p - being early voting, 2 weeks prior, same hours, 7 days per week ** and no, you should NOT have to vote, at the polling location in your precinct....but voting should be done, AT a polling location......and drive-thru voting is the height of all laziness - for those that are bed-ridden, or are hospitalized, etc.....they can request mail-in ballots Good grief...people want to make things so complicated, when it doesn't need to be...jeez
  9. SB 7 is all common sense stuff. Those bitching and complaining about the voting rules, are just people looking for reasons to bitch and complain. These are all rules, that should have been in place, all along. FWIW, I’m as Independent, as Independent can get.....so, I have no bias in this game.
  10. 😆 I get your point!! I should have left the steak one blank, because I don't really eat beef anymore. Trying to transition into a vegetarian lifestyle.....but bacon, man......
  11. This battery test actually works!! First I'd ever heard of this. I was afraid to test it, because I've always been afraid a battery may blow up if dropped on concrete But, damned if it doesn't work
  12. I'd much, much rather be going bald, than being a fat ass. Being a fat fuck just sends a negative message to society, regarding ones laziness, cleanliness (body and home).......just sends an overall piggish image.
  13. SIAP Neighbors that don't retrieve their trash bins from the curb, on same day they were emptied. This really pisses me off. And of course, 2 of my neighbors are the offenders on my 8 house street. Ours are emptied on Wednesdays, about 7:30a.....I'm looking outside, and their bins are still at the curb, blown over.....and 1 fucker just left, and had to avoid his to get out of his driveway.
  14. HA.....I'll say the lowly, bus station skank. She's quite obviously not classy, or sophisticated, or educated, or a debutant, or high society
  15. That there is the absolute best advice. Not one person better to talk to, than Lee Trevino.
  16. Word on the street is, E. Lancaster is the Fort Worth skank paradise.....Harry Hines is in Dallas
  17. I'm not an attorney, but been dealing with this issue for a very long time. I work in a white collar environment, and employees are either "exempt," or "non-exempt." Supervisors and above are exempt, and everyone else in non-exempt. Exempt employees are strict salaried, and will make the same salary if they work 35 hours, or 50 hours, etc.....however, I do want to say that if a salaried employee abuses this, and consistently fails to work 40 hours, this will absolutely become an issue with them. Non-exempt will absolutely be paid time and a half, if they exceed 40 hours, whether it was approved or not......however, this will become an issue with them, if they worked OT, without prior approval from a supervisor or above. Lastly, as far as designated holidays.....if a non-exempt employee works on a holiday, they will be paid time and a half for each hour.......but, as stated earlier, this will become an issue, if they worked it, without prior approval from supervisor or above. If an exempt employee works on a designated holiday, he/she and their direct manager will figure out a fair way to work in some comp time.......never a big deal. There's really no valid reasons for employees, at any level, to get all pissy about stuff like this.....unless of course they're being taken advantage of.
  18. I’m no Texans fan, but Watt’s diatribe was A++ superb. I’d give up a small toe, for the Cowboys, and Horns, to have a roster of J.J. Watt minded individuals. Way to speak your mind, Watt!!
  19. You sleepwalkers are some creepy-ass, weird MF'ers. I'd divorce a spouse, break-up with a girlfriend, or send my kids to boarding school, if they ever started shit like that.
  20. Yes, this And he needs to scoot that front seat back, because he's crammed up against that steering wheel, and looks like a pussy.
