  1. After my last couple of runs, Ive seen nothing but cold tables, so I've been toying with the dark side on the app. For you that do that, do you place any other bets besides the don't pass line with odds? I'm going to Shreveport next weekend and looking to change up my play method some. I know I'm not gonna get rich, but I'd like to lengthen my time at the table and possibly walk out with a little more cash then I go in with.
  2. Who stopped at Hobby Lobby on the way to Hutchins? https://www.fox4news.com/news/mckinney-pd-searching-for-man-accused-of-taking-pictures-up-womans-skirt
  3. I think whoever is doing the targeted FB ads at Audible needs to make a few adjustments. #noracist
  4. @bearschlong Thanks for that, and I do worry about that sometimes I am just in a honeymoon phase of sorts with this and how sustainable this path will be.
  5. I woke up several times asleep in my vehicle parked in my driveway, not remembering getting there. My worst night/morning was where the last thing i remember was leaving the bar at last call. The next thing I know, the sun is coming up and I'm behind the wheel cruising down 75 and the entire passenger side of my car is scratched/dented up like I sideswiped a wall or something. Getting really close to 5 months now and still haven't had a drink. I can't say the desire hasn't been there, but I've managed not to. I will say that I have managed this with very few meetings, but I have been in regular therapy and have been visiting a psychiatrist. Would I have been able to do this without anti-depressant/anxiety meds, have no idea, but I"m very thankful for a semi clear head and not having to nurse the damn hangovers every morning.
  6. I've got pit tickets for Chris Stapleton in Shreveport in 2 weeks, can't wait. I've seen him once before, but not as a headliner.
  7. Just found out my role could be potentially outsourced next year. I guess it's time to spruce up the resume. Anyone know what type of tree I should take my picture in front of?
  8. Quinn suspended for 2 games for PEd's. https://www.dallascowboys.com/news/already-injured-quinn-gets-2-game-suspension
  9. This times out good for me. I signed up for the HULU basic package on black Friday last year (.99 a month for a year), so it looks like that deal will be ending about the time DIS+ launches. I've been happy with hulu, I can usually find something to watch and there are complete seasons of a lot of shows, plus some networks keep current seasons updated each week of their top shows (ABC, NBC and some fox content). The ESPN+ name is a little deceiving. I thought it had the basic live content plus a few extra things. From looking it up, it only has a few live sports and some of their original content (which is usually pretty good). I haven't tried it yet, but considering its bundled with the other stuff, it seems worth it to me.
  10. This, there is almost always a chicken E stop when I take a road trip outside of the metroplex. I've noticed they've closed a few stores in the suburbs over the past year or so (IE Richardson, Frisco, Wylie), I think this place is made more for small towns.
  11. It is a good burger, I prefer Jucy's though. Last time I was that way, we hit Jucy's for lunch, then grabbed desserts at Butcher Shop to go afterwards.
  12. Obligatory" username checks out"
  13. Makes sense. I was there for about 10 days, so the cost of that vs the international plan with AT&T made it worth it. Where it saved my as was navigating around. Google Maps is helpful with which tube line and stops to take too.
  14. Last time I was there, I bought a prepaid sim for like 25 pounds. It was good for 30 days and had like 10gig if data. From there, you can use what's app or whatever to text/call back to the States. You just have to make sure your phone is unlocked with your carrier before going. Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk
  15. Holy Shit indeed. Was not expecting this. Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk
  16. I give it about a 22.3% chance that the "husband" she was taking the shots with is actually the daddy.
  17. If I"m understanding correctly, your outputting from the DTV box to the soundbar? If that's the case, the only audio you're gong to get on the soundbar is DTV. Do you have an audio out on the tv to go from there to the soundbar?
  18. I'm sure she has a couple of shots at getting in elsewhere.
  19. Shiti Coolers FTW. Link
  20. I'm not sure how long it's been there, but it's on HULU now. I watched it last night and was blown away by the footage. I can't believe some of this was just tucked away in archives somewhere.
  21. I've seen the wait be stupid on a weekday too, but it usually moves pretty quickly. I've never had a bad meal there either.
  22. It wasn't me! I was there Sunday and Monday though.
  23. This was probably the highlight of the trip. We hiked down and kayaked around the island and the bay. The short hike to Eagle Falls was nice as well. I unfortunately saw no bears. I rode the mountain coaster and it was a blast. Kind of a short ride for $30, but how often do you get to do something like that? Agreed that the gondola was a little pricey, but the views were worth it, there were also a few paths/trails to hike once up there. Thew views were still incredible, but I can see where it would be even better with snow. The only other rec I could throw in for food that hasn't been mentioned is Rojo's tavern. I prefer hole in the wall pub type places, so this was more my speed. We stayed for karaoke Saturday night, there were 4 bachelorette parties in attendance (phone was dead, and didn't get pics), so we heard "Like a Prayer" at least 3 times, but after a couple of edibles, it was entertaining. Casinos: Harrah's and Harvey's are both dated, but not the worst I've seen. I mainly play craps, so can't speak much for the other table games. They had $10 tables in the morning, and were bumped up to at least $15 in the evening. Hardrock was definitely newer and nicer. I saw a $5 table there once, but it was minly $10-$15. The Montblue seemed nice and spacious as well.
  24. I saw a lot of good points. Having grown up in Carthage I know Longview fairly well. It's where we went for entertainment and name brand shopping. Hell I remember countless trips to Sears, home Depot Lowe's, or a Walmart open past 8pm with my dad when he was working on projects. I see Longview/Tyler as a feeder town for the small towns around it for shopping, entertainment, etc. This is evedenced by the traffic buildup around the holidays. I would assume some of this is dying out with more e-commerce coming in, but youre still going to have the olds that don't shop online and don't have quality internet access in the rural areas. I barely get 1 bar with AT&T at my dad's house and they have to use a hotspot device with Verizon to get any decent internet access. I saw several comments about teachers. While I can't speak for Longview, I would say they are not attracting much outside talent. Most of my teachers growing up had grown up in Carthage, left for college (usually SFA or Aggy) and came back while their husbands were either a teacher/coach or in the oil/gas field. A lot of them are classmates of my parents or had taught my parents. I've seen quite a few people I've gone to high school with continue this trend. Me personally, I never see myself going back to East Texas. It hasn't changed much at all in my lifetime besides a few new chain retailers that have moved in. My kids attend a school in a North Dallas suburb that I'm very happy with, while we still have all the entertainment/amenities the metroplex has to offer close by.
