  1. we didn’t have any records then, and we still don’t have any now.
  2. I just found an unopened Amazon box from 20 fucking 18. We needed a record play so bad we just couldn’t live without it. We have a cash flow problem, yet shit from Amazon just keeps showing up and getting shoved in a hole somewhere unopened.
  3. Yeah. Whether someone is renting or owning, things are going to break, and it just takes time to fix them. If you’re not willing/wanting to be the asshole then it is worth it to hire someone to tell a tenant to stfu about something like an AC unit in February / March.
  4. Thanks. Reading around, sounds like planting sweet corn anytime in March or even early April should be ok. I’ve never grown corn before. Is it something I can walk away from for 2 months except on the weekends?
  5. I think we’re going to stay in Brazoria where we have a couple acres this summer. Kids really want to plant a garden. Is there anything we can plant late May that would give some enjoyment? Peas? I don’t need award winning fruits/veggies or a harvest that will feed us all winter, just something to enjoy. Would any tomato’s grow? Is there anything incredibly low maintenance we could plant in a weekend in March that would survive and produce in the summer?
  6. If this is your supply line from the meter, might be cheaper to run a 1” Pex supply line yourself at this point.
  7. I know they are showing R rated films like Deadpool now, but I think child rape in a kids cartoon is probably a bridge too far even for Disney.
  8. I know we all want to be back, and we point to how fast we did it 60 years ago, but no one mentions we killed 7-8 astronauts trying to get things off the ground then versus zero now. Safety culture in all industries is different now, and that’s a good thing, but it also comes with more caution and slower progress.
  9. First episode was good. You never know what you’re going to get with your actors, and I think all these kids did pretty well
  10. Oh wow. That’s…something.
  11. Got in to someone else’s car coming out of gas station. No one was in it. Very glad I didn’t get in a fight or shot
  12. Sensationalist misleading clickbait bullshit.
  13. I saw the ads and just thought it was the movie coming to netflix. Didn’t realize it was new. Kids and I loved the show. We’ll check this out n
  14. Pretty much. Unless the STR owner lives on the same property, it’s impossible to hire people to clean and maintain and have lower costs for those than a hotel with a full time staff. So competing against hotels for ppl that need a small place to drop their crap, shower, and sleep for 2 nights while they see the town doesn’t work. You’re looking for people that need 4 rooms, or want to grill, have a full kitchen, want a yard for their kids/pets, or want an actual house while they travel for a week or three.
  15. Pictures aren’t showing up on my phone. Of the nurses.
  16. At 11’ is it not relatively cool?
  17. We bought 2 places in 2018 and 2019 in Galveston and fixed them up to Airbnb. One 2-1 and one 4-2 w 2 car garage, very large yard for Galveston, and space to park an RV. 2020 and 2021 were great. 2022 started strong but started falling off. We converted the 2-1 to a long term rental before the end of 2022 because the shrinking extra wasn’t worth the headaches. 2023 probably fell off 20-30%. We like the 4-2 as a personal home, and thought we may move there some day after the kids move out, but taxes and insurance have gone up so much with the decrease in rents we just can’t afford it. We listed it last week. Im pretty sad about getting rid of it. Kids were 5 and 8 and got to spend a lot of time “helping” me with repairs but getting mainly to walk/bike to the beach. I will be happy being done with STR. Constant wear and tear after all the hours spent fixing it can get to you.
  18. Wat? This is an amazing movie. One of my dads favorites and he let me watch it with him maybe a few years earlier than recommended. You should be ashamed if you DONT cry when you see this movie. Like, you’re not even a human being if you don’t. You’re a robot and you don’t know it and are still working to evolve emotions.
  19. Gotta be Cable.
  20. They have a similarly good series on Rome (3 seasons, one covers Comodus) and 2 season on Constanopule. Couldn’t get into one they tried to do Japan.
  21. Also “my legs went numb when it hit me”
  22. This part I do get. I get prescribed prednisone packs frequently when my lower back problems flare up. Going from the pain I’m in to the relief I feel after those first ~4 pills, i understand how someone could get addicted to that.
  23. I’ve had hydrocodone prescribed many times, and I’ve never understood how people get addicted to it. It makes me a little sleepy and seems to fuck with my stomach, but that’s about it. We’ve got bottles of it in the bathroom closet going back 15+ years from prescriptions I’ve only used a few pills out of. I’ve also got anyone covered who needs antibiotics in the zombies apocalypse. We may be hoarders now that I think about it.
  24. We’ve already got Professor X in Strange 2 and Beast playing Dr in Marvels mid credit. They’ve teased them plenty. This movies mission is to create a universe they can exist in along side the MCU characters we already know and love.
