  1. Lets drink when this is all over. Also, if someone can bring 1997 era Denise Richards, that would be fantastic
  2. Me too. Some times I could eat Mexican food for breakfast, drink margaritas and whiskey. Follow it up with Cajun and Whiskey for dinner. And be fine. Other times, salad, water, mild food and it would set my heartburn off. I blame Tom Hermann
  3. I actually have the prescription version. And it still hurts pretty badly sometimes
  4. That was me and coffee around 35. I love coffee but I get the shakes after like 2 cups. Used to be able to drink it all day. Also heartburn. That has fucked my enjoyment of so many foods.
  5. Do you still use mayo with the avocado? I did this once with both the avocado and may at it was a bit much. Made one with guac sans mayo and it was pretty good. Still think I like the basic with Dukes mayo and an heirloom tomato the best.
  6. BORING!!!!
  7. Also, almost ever major college has the same thing for any sports that are broadcasted. Last year, was driving for vacation and listened to a Vanderbilt baseball straight from their sports website. Listened to a Georgia football game a couple of weeks ago when I was driving from Dallas to Galveston
  8. So, I don't think we got an update? Did you bang you cousin or not?
  9. I'm beginning to think that Ukraine is getting reliable intelligence on when Air Defense Systems are being moved. The attacks seem random in location, but overall strategic. Like they have a list of 10 of targets each day, and know which ones have air defense and which ones have a Toyota with a machine gun in the back. Might be causing some of those defense system to be in constant movement rather than actually defending anything.
  10. When we finally took out the carpet in our house, we found used box cutter blades.......
  11. Thanks for the suggestions! I loved Dan Carlin's WW1 series. I think WW1 is probably the most under studied war in US history (other than maybe 1812?)
  12. Yeah, we got lucky. The unit wouldn't turn on at all. We had a1air come out and they spent about 10 minutes looking at the units before telling us we needed a whole new unit. It was February, so I said no and bought a couple of window units. Don't know how my wife found Medley, but the tech came out. Spent about an hour or so and cme back and basically said "They're right you need a new unit. But that's not why it won't turn on. You have a fuse or wire (or something, I don't remember) that's burnt out. I can get it up and running for about $200. I'll be honest with you, once it gets into the upper 90's/low 100's its probably not going to keep you house under about 85. But with the window units, it can get you through summer. Help y'all plan a little bit and call us in February when we're slow and probably give you a better deal." And when we did have the sales guy come. it was about 10K less that what a1air quoted. And he could have easily upsold me on some stuff, because I asked about duct work and a bigger unit. He basically told us that it would be a waste of money for how our house was set up.
  13. Medley. We live in Allen, and I think you live close. We had an excellent experience with them the several times they came out before we finally bought the new AC. Very professional. Never felt like we just a sales ticket for them. I don't remember all the details, but the day they were supposed to come for the new install, there was a part that hadn't arrived yet. My wife complained to the dispatch person a little bit, but I knew they're were some shortages and stuff still trying to get back to normal from Covid. They offered to come install some window units if we needed them They called the day before the rescheduled install to say they didn't have the part yet. I called and basically said something like "We have four dogs, 4 chickens and two cats. We have two kids in school. We both work full time. This isn't like having having someone drop off a package. We have to schedule this install around alot of things. I think this incredibly unfair of you." Wife got a call from the owner about an hour later saying he would drive to Ft Worth and grab the part and meet us at the house the next day. He said they would make it work, but might need to work a little different hours. Basically work from 10 - 5 instead of 9-4 as originally scheduled. I want to say they took a couple hundred bucks, but I don't really remember.
  14. My guess is that is that they will whittle down air defenses, and the first day it's below freezing in St. Petersburg and Moscow, we will see about 100 Flamingos completely destroy the electric grids of both cities. Probably followed up by the Kerch Bridge.
  15. Pretty much same thing happened to me, but we really did need ours replaced. Found a local company who I could talk to the owner. Alot cheaper with a much better service
  16. This is me. I never have to actually go to my work, but at least once a week I will go for a few hours because I can't always focus at home. I usually do all the easy stuff at home with the TV going on in the back ground and save the stuff I really need to concentrate on to do at the store. In my case, I can also get some advice on certain issues from my coworkers, and that is easier to do in person.
  17. I was able to that last year for both our Home Owners and 6th months of car insurance. All of cards except for one have some sort of reward, but I can pretty much pay them off every week. I also use the upside app for gas. Probably not really worth it for most people, but as much as I drive for work I wind up getting $7-8 back a week. Cash it out about once every 3 months and its a decent night out for me and the wife. Or a bottle of good whiskey
  18. Soo... He was the only he was the only guy in a class full of women learning to cook... Reminds me of college. I signed up for golf as my PE credit. I was talking to my dad about it he asked what the other options were. One of which was Dance. He stopped me and said "You chose golf over being the only guy in a room full of college girls wearing spandex...smart"
  19. I remember when my grandad let me open the gate by myself for the first time. Definitely a big deal for me at the time
  20. Shit. That was back when I ran 3 miles a day outside. You see how white I am now
  21. I've been hesitant to post this, but since many of you have posted about your dogs crossing the rainbow bridge, I thought I would share. This is Rose. I never really loved dogs before her. I mean I liked them and all, but not like close. My ex was a vet tech at the time and the week after the VY 4th and five, she got to work and someone had tied this dog to the handicap sign in front of her work. It was raining and in the 40s. Dog barely made it She called to ask if it was okay to bring him home for a night so she could keep an eye on her. Fine. Whatever just make sure it doesn't piss and shit everywhere They damn thing wound up falling asleep on my lap. The next morning I'm at the kitchen table drinking coffee and answering emails..and the mutt falls asleep on my feet Ex " I'm leaving. Help me out the dog in the crate." Me : no Anyway. Her daughter called me a few months ago. I hadn't talked to her in probably 10 years. She found Rose's collar and ashes and brought them over to me. I definitely had to wait until everyone was asleep before I opened the bag with the stuff inside.
  22. I don't know if it's still true, but I seem to remember FedEx routed most of its packages through memphis. So even if I shipped a box from Plano to Arlington it usually went to memphis first. Even it was like an overnight or 2 day package.
