  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Snap those memories as often as you can-they will be treasured someday.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. Hope you get a reprieve for Ruffas-I know how much he must mean to you. Let us know the outcome.
  10. Just wanted to say how much I appreciate the kindness shown my wife and I today by all of the staff at Hulen Hills Animal Hospital. We said goodbye to our beloved Bailey after 15 years when it was revealed that a cancerous tumor was inoperable and his life was at an end. Every employee present from the treating doctor to the front desk receptionist were patient, sympathetic, and understanding in our time of grief and it made a dark day a little more bearable. This facility is open seven days a week and this marks the second pet we have said goodbye to in their care. Really grateful as well that this was the weekend Bailey left us-we will be in California in a couple of weeks for my son's 35th birthday and it would have been really sad had it happened during that weekend.
  11. Bailey Brown Jackson said goodbye today at 3:25pm after a 15 year career of bringing joy and happiness to all who knew him (squirrels and other rats being the exception). He had a long and distinguished career of brightening the lives of those whom he came in contact with, and filled our hearts with a lifetime of memories which we are now left to cherish in between the sadness of losing him to cancer. I have always believed that he gave his very best every day to me in being my best canine friend and that someday it would be up to me to return the favor by being a responsible pet owner and letting him go rather than suffer. We awoke this morning at 6am and after going outside, I held him in my lap for the better part of three hours, knowing that today was the day we would make our last awakening on earth together. His demise was sudden, his suffering minimal, and his exit swift without pain. There is a hurt in my heart that I know will be replaced by another wonderful rescue dog someday, but for today, it just aches to see all of the places where he once slept, ate, played, and lived. My hope is to live out the rest of my days with the same outlook and attitude that my precious boy did. Good dog, Bailey-see you on the other side.
  12. Definitely worth it.
  13. Saw this in 3-D this evening. Several scenes where pucker factor was 12+ and Cruise doing his own stunts still amazes me. Always enjoy the twists in this series and this one delivers as well.
  14. Yeah, that foundation repair cost can be a big expense. Good luck finding the right guy to do it so it only has to be done once. I can tell you the guy I recommended has a guarantee that he stands behind.
  15. Went to Denver last week on SWA and had I known, would have left the plane with a backpack full of these like Brisket.
  16. Call Phillip Miller 817-312-3567. He has been in this business for 20+ years and is honest, reliable. You are right-that price is insanely high.
  17. Last place I know of in Cowtown where you could get a Carlson's burger. And yes, I'm old enough to remember when Carlson's was open off of University.
  18. RIP to a Texas giant. Frank Denius checked all of the boxes when it came to character, humility, bravery, service, et.al. The University has been the beneficiary of his generous donations and there is no telling how many people he helped reach their goals while attending UT. I know the Royal and Denius reunion in heaven must surely be going on at this moment which gives me a reason to smile. Hope the 2018 season makes him smile.
  19. After the heartbreak of the Rose Bowl & being drafted by the Browns, Colt deserves the money Washington is paying him. Ask Dallas what kind of backup he is.
  20. Yeah, 110 for the past two days in Cowtown and lows in the mid 80's have killed everything in the back except the dallis grass. The poa has oficially wilted to the point having me think armageddon is upon us. Just gonna let it happen and start from scratch next spring while keeping the bermuda alive in front.
  21. Equalizer 2. Was hoping for a Man on Fire type Denzel, but didn't make that happen. Played a BAMF but the story was uneven and dragged in several places. Will be worth a view on Netflix or Cable shortly.
  22. The documentary featured some of the greatest moments of his early career, the relationships he had with other known comics, and his family-great story. I had as many lines from his one and a half hour Live at the Met performance memorized as I did lines from Python's Holy Grail. So many nights at friends houses watching that VHS tape over and over while imbibing and smoking the bong and laughing until oxygen deprived. What a tragedy that he along with so many talented comedians met a tragic end too soon.
  23. I drive past the ballpark every day and hope that someday baseball returns to Cowtown down on the Trinity. Cats games were entertaining, the concessions affordable, and on the fourth of July, the best seats in town for fireworks.
  24. Sad panda! Will await the re-opening elsewhere I guess. Thanks for the heads up.
  25. DAYUUUM! My company has a store in Madison so this hits close to home. Gonna call the manager there tomorrow and see what his read is on this.
