    My grandma had one

    House we lived in in the mid 70's had one of these.  I remember one year we got a couple of snow days off from school.  We had shitty brown cloth gloves to protect us from frost bite.  When our hands got too cold from the soggy gloves/socks also used for gloves (we were poor) we would got into the house and toss the gloves and socks on top of this bad boy and be ready to head back out in a few minutes.  Good Times.

  2. I've got a couple of purple salvia plants next to the house.  I planted them probably in 2020.  They are great plants and very resilient to boot... but that is not what pleases me.  It's the Bumblebees that are constantly flying around them right now.  I feel like I have done something that is beneficial for them and for mankind.  I could watch the Bumblebees for hours.

    I'll probably let it go a little longer. I'm only paying $107/month to DTV for three TVs but that price ends in December. One kid is off to college this year and the other is only with us 50% of the time and he doesn't watch regular TV. He streams whatever he watches. I've kept DTV for several reasons -- most of our TVs still work great and aren't as "smart" as newer models and I'm not happy with how shit streams currently on Hulu, Netflix, etc in our house. Not sure if we've got Wifi issues (we have a Google Mesh system) but we'd need to address our streaming capabilities before dumping satellite entirely. And the Stars/Rangers were most easily found on Bally's/DTV. The Stars are going to a free app this season and I think the Rangers have -- or they're about to -- cut ties with Bally's as well.

     

    Yes, you only get ESPN+ content, not the live sports events on ESPN TV channels.

    There could be something like Geico SkyCam or SkyVue (whatever it is...) feed from an ESPN network game on ESPN+.  For the unfamiliar, it has no announcers but it shows everything from the offense's POV from behind the LOS.  I caught part of the Bama game on that feed this past weekend.

  4. Re: Religion classes in public schools... 

    There are colleges out there that will require you to take a religion course or two.  In that context, for college credit, I have no issue.  The classes can be taught in a non-religious manner.  I have had such an experience at JUCO when I was contemplating going to Baylor.  It was in spring of 93 at MCC in Waco... there were some great discussions in that class about the goings on a few miles away.

  5. Damn, the next gen of Schobels must have gone off

    Columbus picked up a kid that was a part of a six man team that had won 3 championships. He won 4 championship mvps. 3 on offense and also took home the Defensive mvp for one of those games. Anyways, the kid is more than capable of playing at this level. Too lazy to look up his name. Just caught the Columbus highlights on the Texas High School recap show.
  6. Saw George, Conway Twitty, and Merle Haggard at the HOT Coliseum in Waco years ago.  I am not the biggest C&W fan in the world but it was a fantastic event.  I remember before the concert started, people talking about whether Jones would show up or not.  He did of course and opened with - 'They Call Me No Show Jones'.

  7. The Debby Boone track may win the thread going away.  Holy shit.  I had totally forgotten about that song, but man it was HUGE.
    Exile is interesting.  I actually like "Kiss You All Over", but those guys spent decades chasing fame, switching genres, firing or losing key members, just on and on.  Tip of the cap to the now outsider Tenacious D dude Kyle Gass for his cover in "Wild Hogs".

    Exile holds a special place in my heart. Was living in Waco in the late 80s when they came to town. Wife and I were basically friends at the time. Her and a friend of hers had tix for the concert. Her friend had to bail because of a headache. She called me to see if I wanted to go and I agreed. Basically have been together since that night.

  8. They weren't the ones that threw a notebook on stage for him to sign were they?

    I don’t think they were party to that.

    Yep. Show was a blast.

    Just gotta get the GenZers to quit falling out in the pit. He had to stop the shlw 4 times to not get Travis Scott'd

    I will be seeing both of them again in 2 weeks in Tampa

    Hehehe, my granddaughter (16yo... absolutely, no pics) was in the pit.  She did not pass out.  Girl she was with at the concert(nope, no pics) *caught* someone that passed out.   GD was psyched when ZB looked in her direction and stopped the show.
