  1. The wife just said yes to a new sponsee yesterday who has been in and out for over twenty years. She got 17 calls and 8 texts from her between saying yes and this afternoon. She played the one where this woman admitted she was bi-polar. I left that land mine alone and have been fine because of it.
  2. Wife had this on Tuesday while I had crawfish etoufee-solid on both counts. Service was attentive but not intrusive, dessert was excellent. Our first time there will not be our last.
  3. Agree with Deej-we were told six months maybe but he might not be able to come home because of the stress on him from the treatment. Just hard to know when dealing with an older dog whether the high expense of these treatments is going to give them a quality of life that is worth it. The toughest choice I have had to make three times now is to choose to say goodbye. Good luck on whatever the outcome for Brutus is.
  4. Precious baby girl. Say hi to Bailey-I know he greeted you when you arrived.
  5. Sweet Jeebus, she is the female Rambo/Davy Crockett killing them meskins who kilt her family. I was sure there could not have been a worse movie than The Counselor-I was wrong.
  6. http://www.star-telegram.com/news/local/community/fort-worth/article217923230.html I was headed north on Main today at 11:25am right after this happened. Copters flying overhead, ambulances, fire trucks, and massive police presence. I parked and walked down Exchange to the scene-it was hard to see the destruction and the loss of a life caused by the idiot driver. His life is about to change and not for good.
  7. Kingsley does a magnificent job portraying this bastard. While the storyline sometimes jumps around a little too much with flashbacks, overall it was well acted by the other cast members as well. I remember writing a paper on Eichmann in the 10th grade for world history and being amazed at how he was brought to justice-this movie does a good job of bringing this point home.
  8. You mean that 30-0 first quarter in the hotter than hell upper deck game? My buddy and I went to a meeting at halftime and laughed when we saw the final.
  9. USC tickets will be available again?
  10. Well, glad I'm sober after watching that trainwreck against Maryland today. Just polished off some grilled burgers, fries, and a cold Dr. Pepper while watching more CFB. The only hangover I will have tomorrow is the one from watching the Turtles wreak havoc on the Longhorns while we did our share of helping them to a win.
  11. Prayers for your mom's comfort, your peace of mind, and serenity to deal with some of life's harshest moments like those you mention. To have three relationships in one's life change so drastically is almost unthinkable and emotionally draining I'm sure. Hang in there.

    Justified

    Binge worthy-except for the Maryland game, this has priority for the three day weekend.
  13. Ship Ahoy, Nolan's Bar B Que, Roy's Bar B Que, Floyd's, Picks, The Torch, Manhattan Steakhouse-all in Corpus Christi. The original Whataburger opened on my birthday two years before I was born and is no longer standing. We lived two blocks from that location and knew Harmon Dobson.
  14. Great photos of a pair of winners. Dobbs has Mondays pegged for sure.
  15. Can't remember the bar but I think your are referring to the old Downtown Motor Inn.
  16. Going to see my son in Cali Thursday. His 35th birthday is Saturday and it will be the first one I have spent celebrating with him since he was two. Drank my way out of the marriage & chose booze over being present in his life until he turned 16, found the amends letter I wrote my wife, and made contact with me. Grateful that this design for living has allowed us to reconnect on a level that neither of us could have imagined. He is in day five of his journey and I am asking for God's best in his return to the program. We will be going to meetings this weekend together-one of the many gifts this program has given me and one more reason to stay sober.
  17. Sorry for your loss Kmac. She had a great life I'm sure with your family and that makes her sudden passing that much harder. Pants Tent-wheeew, glad that story had a happy ending. On four occasions our two got out and were gone from 10-14 hours. The good thing that happened each time is that the big dog stayed with his smaller brother and they never left each other. Makes his death last week that much harder to deal with for us and his brother.
  18. http://stopbaptistpredators.org/index.htm While the Catholic abuse is more widespread, I'm not sure that the Baptists don't do their share of covering up the sins of their leaders as well. The ongoing and continual revelations from so many churches, institutions, etc. leaves little doubt that this has been a centuries old problem that only in the last twenty years has been brought out in the open--with little impact change wise, sadly.
  19. I agree. I worked at Caravan of Dreams with the sommelier who is now at Grace and have always enjoyed the great service, atmosphere, and meals.
  20. Snap those memories as often as you can-they will be treasured someday.
  21. Sheep should definitely be under level one scrutiny with your invading Agroid. I know Ruffas is getting what he needs and pray that his quality of life is both long and peaceful.
  22. https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-lists/100-greatest-singers-of-all-time-147019/aretha-franklin-6-227696/ One poll that imho you could not argue with, at least the #1 choice. RIP to an American icon.
  23. https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-lists/100-greatest-singers-of-all-time-147019/aretha-franklin-6-227696/ RIP to an American icon. Since 1965, my all time favorite female singer in any genre.
  24. Hoping Blue gets well soon Deej. The things our dogs do for us make the things we do for our dogs all worthwhile. Blessings on your and your canine kid.
