  1. I have no experience with that. Give it a shot! What could possibly go wrong? My cult of choice only requests a few dollars to cover the cost of coffee and whatever the Methodists charge us for the meeting space.

    No, wife’s stepfather’s EX wife’s ancestors did.

    1923

    Had dinner with my Galveston-born FIL last night and we were talking 1923 and chuckling about the beachfront scene. His first wife’s grandfather was a Maceo. Their descendants, including his children, are still making millions in the booze business.
  4. I think it’s a great compromise having a big book NIV version. Can’t understand the King James? Here, read this as a concordance.
  5. I agree 100% with you, but then again I have the original manuscript coffee table book in my living room and fancy myself a scholar of all things AA. But I sponsor a lot of guys who can barely read. It must have been incredibly challenging to modernize the language while preserving originality. For example, the plain text version has the original letter from Dr. Silkworth directly next to the plain text. It does a masterful job of explaining “moral psychology.” I don’t know about you, but that is a concept in the big book which I have always thought deserved greater explanation.
  6. Maybe 2 or 3 of those guys would have made the cut in San Antonio. Maybe Fatrick or Bryson makes the Masters cut. Possibly Phil because of experience.
  7. She’s a true believer in public service and protector of the oppressed. I think she is courageous, especially if she can prevent chicanery.
  8. Oh, and she interned for Al Gore and hasn’t once voted R. They hired her without an interview.
  9. And I loved your text, let’s talk on Monday.
  10. Thank you, and I agree. I’ve already got a major aerospace project dead in the water because the FedRamp professionals have all been fired and replaced by 23 year old Tesla bros. Shit is going to start breaking in federal IT. Actively adding to technical debt isn’t the flex they think it is. Nobody on my team can reach any contracting officers. Still, unless they decide to PIP me I may have just deferred taking a package at EOY2025. One of my very good friends used to be in IT Management with JPMorgan, and now he runs a construction contracting company. Happy as a lark.
  11. I chuckle when my generac app notifies me that my unit is “exercising.” I’m guessing it charges the starter battery and moves oil around. That reminds me, I guess I need to extend the warranty past 2026 as mine was installed in late 2021. And to the previous post, I need to change the oil on my small Honda backup backup unit.
  12. Some guys on YouTube also said cottonmouth scales protrude over the eyes and cover them when observed from above.
  13. Some of these Amazon reviews are hilarious. I’m glad my wife is a noncombatant. Dirty bastard lol
  14. If I had acreage and outbuildings, I’d get a cat. But I have a regular lot surrounded by public wetlands and detention ponds, and my dogs love to eat cat shit so that’s the friction there. Just found this water snake in the back, maybe he will eat them. Since zero day when I started this thread, enemy casualties are nil.
  15. Found a cool snake ID app. It saved his life. My dachshund found him in the garden.
  16. Cottonmouth or water snek? I’m thinking the latter.
  17. On Monday my sister starts her job as a lawyer with CBP.
  18. She’s a beaut, Clark.
  19. Which is why I’m using them inside the house exclusively. I didn’t choose to escalate the conflict. I was happy to send POWs merrily on their way.
  20. Well at least the 6 figs I have sitting in a passbook savings account is safe for now. How much can I get for selling blood plasma?
  21. Have him consider Space Force.
  22. That might be a good idea for the garage.
  23. Haha From @southland, I mean. Not to threadjack but my wife was facing some serious retaliation bullshit in her state agency by a smarmy little fucker who was trying - and failed - to force her out. Wanna guess what that guy does in his side gig? You guessed it, minor division college football referee. Not enough that he gets to destroy morale and cultivate toxic work environments M-F, he spends his Saturdays insisting upon himself on the gridiron. Mr. Whistles is his nickname. I’d imagine a lot of referees are real assholes IRL.
