  1. They said Jag did when I was watching earlier.
  2. I was super bored in the early days. I couldn't sit down and focus long enough to watch anything on TV or read a book. I did a 1K piece puzzle and a couple of Lego sets in my first month to pass the time.
  3. Bumping this thread for recommendations. I have a sonata as my commuter car and probably drive 400 miles a week. Looking for replacements that will last but not break the bank either. Looking at either DT or Costco.
  4. I played on one at Winstar before. It does help the game move a little faster since no chips need to be exchanged and the minimums are smaller than a regular table.
  5. I tried and failed many times with the "I got this approach", and it just got worse every time. The all-around approach that has worked for me and continues to work is to capitulate and do what was asked of me. My own thinking just got me further in the hole. Thankfully I had a sponsor that was willing to jump in in that hole and help me build the ladder out. I've heard one of the guys in my sponsorship say several times "Be a Zebra and join the herd". When zebras herd together their stripes form crazy patterns that camouflage them from their predators. When one strays away, that's usually when it's attacked.
  6. Reading the posts about MAC the past few weeks has had me in a place of reflection. I hit 2 years on the 10th and was presented my chip Saturday night at our home group's birthday night. I remember that feeling during my last few benders that a fate similar to MAC's was in store for me and I honestly welcomed it because I had nothing left for this world. Thankfully, I finally surrendered and since then have learned otherwise.
  7. I was at Dallas show and thought it was good. Fiance' and I are going to the Orange Beach show in July too. I just got introduced to Dave about 2 years ago and didn't know much outside of what I had heard on mainstream radio, but man they are fun to watch. Fiance' as seen been to 30+ shows and said he pulled out a few rare ones Saturday.
  8. I caught this on local news last night, and they reported the suspect was urinating in the parking lot which is why he was being confronted.
  9. I wanted/expected everyone around me to drink as much as me when I was drinking with a crowd. It made me feel better and able to justify the amount I was drinking.
  10. That sounds miserable. My fiancé has like one drink every few months and will push it away when she starts “feeing it”. Hmmmm isn’t that the point?
  11. I've got a box of my childhood Hot Wheels cars and ninja turtle action figures, some I would have bought with my allowance, circa late 80s.
  12. I’ll echo what everyone else says. Go to superintendents office immediately. This is completely inappropriate and unacceptable. The fact that he is even on their chat apps or tik tok is unacceptable.
  13. I’ve never really watched the show until the last. Couple of years. Season 41 was my first. I feel like this one has started slower than the previous 2. But it did seem to turn up a notch this week. I’m surprised yam-yam and Carolyn are still there too. I see several of the old seasons are available to stream on Paramount+. Are there any worth going back to watch?
  14. Anyone still watching?
  15. I would thin RedBox helped contribute to this as well. Seems like it started about the same time. I'm actually surprised to see RedBox still around.
  16. I finished it over the weekend, thought it was pretty good. Has some crazy moments for sure.
  17. The Rangers are also playing at 3 today, so I’m sure that will help.
  18. I got YTTV for half off for a year with T-Mobile, It's been worth it for that, not sure when the discount ends.
  19. I discovered these a few months back. Love the fruity pebbles. Its so much better than any pre-made shake. I usually mix with almond milk or fair life.
  20. Sorry if already discussed, but I can’t help but think the other son was involved. Has there been any evidence to prove he wasn’t there the night of the murders?
  21. In my experience, it rings very true. I enjoyed drinking until I didn't. I reached the point where it became a necessity over luxury. Sure, I could string together brief periods of sobriety ranging anywhere from a few days to a few months, however, I'm not one to just be able to put the plug in the jug and feel fine. Even if life is going perfect by all accounts, I'm eventually going to need relief, and until I got down to causes and conditions, that relief came from the first drink, which led to more drinks. I didn't understand causes and conditions until I worked the steps with a sponsor. Through that process, my character defects became obvious and I learned how to build my defense against the first drink.
  22. I talked to a friend last week that went on a 12th step call to a man dying in the hospital with cirrhosis of the liver. The guy was dead in the yes and just yellow skinned from head to toe and was still trying to get family members to bring him a bottle of whiskey in. My buddy said that was the worst he had ever seen anyone and prays he never has to see that again. The guy didn't want to hear what they had to say, but they were able to get his family in contact with an Al-Anon group.
  23. I'm always in for a good heist movie/show, but at what point are the thieves anti heroes? In some instances, they are just straight up thieves and others they seem to be stealing with a purpose or to get revenge on some other morally corrupt person who did them wrong. Either way, I always find myself pulling for them to get away with it.
  24. I just finished and thought it was well done. I just let Netflix auto play and felt it was a pretty good order. Thankfully it ended with Pink then White, thought that made for a pretty solid way to close it out.
