  1. On a side note, one of the best investments I've made is buying a deep freezer and a vacuum sealer. When I see something like chicken or ground beef go on sale, I'm buying like 50 lbs of it and freezing them in two pound bags Seems like I see pork shoulder and chuck roast go on sale about once every 6 weeks or so. Also, the discount bin at Tom Thumb and Kroger in the meat department. I won't buy fish, chicken, or ground beef. But I've picked up a few rib eyes and flank steaks for like half price. You just need to eat them that day or freeze them as soon as you get home.
  2. We decided yesterday (before seeing this thread) to go the rest of the month with no fast food and no eating out. Partly for the money, but also because we're both and an age where we really need to lose some weight and exercise more often. One caveat is that we will spend more on groceries to get what we really want to eat.
  3. This! Chicken wings were great when they were a value option. With the price they go for now, you can get better bar type food for the same price. Also, not real surprised by this announcement. At least in North Dallas, if you want scantly clad women, there are better places. If you want want a sports bar with better food but not there girls there are tons of better options. I think the attraction that hooters had when I was in my 20s was that it was much harder to find the combination of sports bar with lots of TVs, good food, good looking women and food service. Wish they had one closer to Allen/McKinney
  4. Yeah, about the spiciest thing I can use without any side affects is the original franks hots sauce. I used to drown my food in some sort of hot sauce, but about 10 years ago I was under a shit ton of stress from work and personal life. Woke up in the middle of the night for about a week straight vomiting up excess stomach acid. What really sucks is occasionally something really random will set it off.
  5. You have no idea how much it sucks. I've pretty much had to cut out buffalo wings, really spicy mexican or indian food. Even real bloody mary's with tobasco can fuck my stomach up. Even with the prescription for heart burn from my doc, I can expect to be in heartburn hell for 4-6 hours. I'll sacrifice for crawfish and when the Hispanic family a couple of houses down has a quinceanera/birthday party/graduation/death in the family.
  6. Some trash nachos for dinner. Needed more cheese. And I can't do jalapenos much anymore so pepperchinis instead
  7. Did I make it in on page 1? I'll go 92- 70
  8. Anyone got a projected line up yet? I changed jobs and have been out of my normal baseball groove for awhile and barely read anything from spring training.
  9. I don't suppose anyone has heard about hulu yet? Gonna be pretty pissed if I pay the $100 for Victory + then they add it to hulu like a week later
  10. Used to love Rosa's (and Taco Cabana), but last couple of times I went just was very bland. Kinda seems like what happens when a chain place starts opening up a lot of places.
  11. Just sent my money
  12. I would be in for $15 or 10
  13. I like it, but I probably haven't eaten there in 3-4 years since it's not close to us anymore
  14. In and @Moderator Can we get this pinned?
  15. Yeah, my 5 and 11 year old kids don't know the difference between dominoes/papa johns/ pizza hut ect. I'm not buying Campisi's or Cane Russo for them.
  16. That was my first thought. That and parts of southern Louisiana that I've been too
  17. I've been wondering about stuff like Lockheed, and other, losing sales. Doesn't our Military Industrial Complex spend like a gazillion dollars lobbying efforts? And aren't a bunch of their factories in "Red" States?
  18. Is that a commuter train going straight through an oil refinery?
  19. Quick update. He's gained 9 pounds in three weeks we've had him.
  20. Left over sausage, three fried eggs and some tater tots
  21. I've been holding off posting this, because I wanted to make sure the dog was okay with our kids and other dogs. About a month ago, our neighbors got evicted. Then arrest on some drug related charges. A few days after they moved, their out their pity bull showed back up. I heard him crying at their front door and tried to get him to come inside with me. Eventually, I had to call the animal shelter They tried to get a hold of the former neighbors. As did we. But they really didn't want to have anything to do with him. Because he was a pitt bull and supposedly nipped at one of the shelter persons, he was going to be put down. We picked him up that day. TL;DNR people suck. New puppy
  22. This is where I think Doctors and Medical facilities should be able to refuse service to this dipshits. "Sorry, you didn't trust us, go home and die." Because, you know all these fuckers think "If it gets really bad, I can go to the emergency room."
  23. When my son was around that age (5 I think). Leaving the house, made it about 3 or 4 houses down then my wife realized she forgot something. So I make quick U-Turn and I squealed my tires a little bit. Heard from the back set "Fuck yeah." It took everything my wife and I had to no bust out laughing.
