  1. My brother, sister, and I own the family cemetery in SE NM. We ended up with it as the family ranch put together in the late 1800s has been split up through the years. 6 generations buried there. We're going to form a trust to put it in--cemetery ownership/operatorship has never been my ambition.
  2. Meh. I had horses growing up, have been around them most of my life, and don't want to kill them to eat them. But because it was served, and it would be an offense to refuse, I've had it in Europe and it didn't bother me. Also had whale. That didn't bother me ethically, but it tasted terrible. I haven't had dog because I haven't been to rural places in other countries where it would be expected that I eat it. I can't say that I haven't had cat, but don't know that I have--I've done business in countries in which it very well may have been served, but in those countries, I just eat what's put in front of me without asking questions.
  3. Kiefer was at a medical appointment the day fire engulfed her neighborhood and her children couldn’t find Aggie β€” who was prone to hiding β€” when they tried to rescue her. β€œThe one thing my mom asked was: β€˜Did you get Aggie?” Carolyn recalls. Many pet owners struggled to reach their domesticated animals during the frantic rush to evacuate from the Palisades wildfire in January. Aggie, who is about 5 years old, was gifted to Katherine Kiefer by a friend during the COVID-19 pandemic. Social media users have been so touched by the pair’s reunion video that many have been asking for daily updates. The family’s $30,000 GoFundMe campaign for Aggie’s vet bills had topped $21,000 by Tuesday afternoon. The cat has undergone several blood transfusions and is now seeing a specialist. β€œShe was basically skin and bone, and in a state of absolute starvation,” Carolyn said. The family will officially be reunited with Aggie when she is released from the hospital Thursday. Kiefer said she’s anxiously waiting, and she has a message for other pet owners: β€œDon’t underestimate cats,” she said. "Skin and bones, in a state of absolute starvation." Just like TAMU's athletic department with the Jimbo contract hanging around their necks. Looks like TAMU needs to jettison Reveille and adopt a new mascot.
  4. After rabbits. They’re yummy.
  5. I thought one of the more unhinged Texags lunatics might do that with Jimbo. He is what is crippling everything currently. Not his culture, not his players, not the remnants of his program. His contract. It is a dark cloud over everything the TAMU athletic department needs to do. They have to hit that nut first in their fundraising and donor commitments, and only have margin above that for their current and future needs. If they had a lick of sense, everyone who sniffed that contract should be strapped to a SpaceX booster and jettisoned to the sun.

  8. You previously posted a discount link for Tyrwhitt. I used it and love the shirts. However, the ones I bought are designed to be tucked in, which is great when I'm in an office environment. However, I often want the more casual look. I went back for more and the cheapest promotion they had emailed me was for 3 shirts for $149. After online chatting with Dee, a customer service person (you have to ask their virtual chatbot to give you a real person), she gave me this code: https://www.charlestyrwhitt.com/usot99 That should get you any shirt for $39. I ordered a bunch of casual shirts (basically untuckable oxfords), in both cotton and linen. Big upgrade in the casual wardrobe.
  9. Got a chuckle from me because the only things we were allowed to watch at Mama's house were Gunsmoke, the news, and Lawrence Welk.
  10. My SIL is a paramedic/firefighter. He says the majority of his calls are to repeat customers.
  11. So that’s the reason I had food poisoning from Chipotle a month or so ago ….

  13. This man is very smart. Manufacturers should make this option available on every single pull-start machine. https://x.com/daysofnoahgen6/status/1899294427564081536?s=61&t=y24cLAxRGy73J6BPsctsHQ
  14. Fell to 21 in Baseball America: https://www.baseballamerica.com/stories/college-baseball-top-25-rankings/# Preseason No. 1 Texas A&M appeared to have the perfect get-right opportunity in its final week of non-conference play. The Aggies played five home games against mid-majors, including three against New Mexico State, who BA picked to finish eighth in the 10-team Conference USA. But Texas A&M won just three of those contests, improving its record to an uninspiring 9-6. There were still several encouraging individual performances for the Aggies. Junior shortstop Kaeden Kent went 7-for-20 with three doubles, a triple, two home runs and nine RBIs, true freshman outfielder Terrence Kiel II recorded eight hits including three doubles and senior lefty Ryan Prager spun seven shutout innings. As they desperately search for the form many expected of them in the preseason, the Aggies are set to take on Prairie View A&M before hosting No. 16 Alabama to open SEC play.
  15. Please watch β€œMy Beautiful Stutter” on Amazon Prime. Such a beautiful documentary.
  16. Inner middle school NNM chuckled at this.
