  1. Quit fucking around and get to a meeting and get some relief. Or go buy what you really want and go get fucked up the right way. I heartily endorse either action, but what I don't endorse is sitting around sitting white claws and near beer thinking you're controlling and enjoying your drinking. Time's a wasting.
  2. I've been pulled over at least 4 times by this officer. IIRC he ticketed me twice over a decade. https://www.beaumontenterprise.com/life/vip/article/Beaumont-s-toughest-cop-may-have-the-city-s-13409727.php Last time he actually asked me "did I give you a ticket or warning last time?" I laughed, said I can't remember, and referenced a non-profit charity project of his, he turned his body cam off, I got out of the car, and we just bullshitted for about 10 minutes. My last traffic stop was pulling into Huntington on 69, I was driving home from a wedding in central Oklahoma and was admittedly tired and irritable and basically on autopilot. Smarted off to this young, chubby, slovenly cop "what little shithole town is this? I rarely drive this route and I'll probably never even drive through here again" and immediately felt bad after seeing the hurt look on his face - he rolled his eyes, shrugged, and wrote the ticket. I think his orders were to sit at the light near Brookshire brothers and collect money for the city. Took 30 days probation and paid it. Time before that was Kountze which I drive through frequently. I'm very aware of the speed limit changes and I wasn't speeding - but the guy in front of me was. 11:30 at night and the cop pulled me over instead. Very young cocky cop, I told him exactly what he had done and he ticketed me anyway. He gives me the spiel about who to contact to plead or pay and I laughed and said nope, my first call is to my LEO relative (FIL) whose house I just left, he's friends with your chief, this isn't even going into your system." narrator: it didn't. I have a lead foot, average about a ticket a year, but most places now are happy as hell to just put you on probation, i.e. don't come zooming down my highway for 90 days, pay the fine, and we won't even make you take defensive driving.
  3. I'll bet some of you even carry your wallets in your back pockets.
  4. Willis Reed got nothing on Kevin McCuller. That was heroic.
  5. Mentioned before that my uncle is liveaboard captain on his BFF's Leopard 50 in Sarasota. After years of systematically upsizing, they're now downsizing as they are getting to old to sail that beast singlehanded. New boat is a 38.
  6. Just texted my son at Ft. Bragg to see WTF is going on over there. At least he's driving a vehicle with a .50 cal mounted on the roof.
  7. I sense "natural" immunity to a lot more than just covid.
  8. Thats why I'm glad AA has the tradition of "no grifting", basically. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk
  9. Ended up declining the antibody treatment after all, it's not even sotrovimab. Looking forward to catching the next variant which will be even milder.
  10. Drunk, freshman, and living in Penland Hall is no way to go through life, son. Make better decisions. Go ahead and go to AA now. Go date a Kappa with a rich daddy. It's not too late to live your best life. (Me screaming at my 17 yr old self)
  11. Nah, not really. We're at our historic peak as an athletic program right now. I'm good.
  12. With the exception of GSK which might work a little bit?
  13. This is the vacuum before the torches and pitchforks come out for Coach Beard.
  14. My area has 5 infusion centers that were idle until earlier this week, and because my Doc told me to. I'm assured I'm not taking a treatment from someone else. At the time I found out about the positive first thing this morning I wasn't sure if symptoms were getting worse or better. Also the first week of OG Covid I thought was not a big deal but week 2 kicked my ass, so I wasn't about to refuse the appointment based on incomplete information even though this variant seems to be milder. The message from my doc's office was "you've got Omicron" but that's according to symptoms, not a positive ID. I could have delta but with slightly different symptoms. I felt good this afternoon but now I can't stop coughing and I hurt. So "not bad" is relative to OG Covid where I had moments when I thought I was actually dying. Also I have elderly vaccinated and boosted parents and any treatment that might reduce the risk of me catching a future variant and passing it to them is of interest. I haven't done the research on that yet. I do know that if I wasn't covid positive I would be at my mother's house right now as she is having a plumbing issue that flooded her house today. I have another point to make but this isn't the CR so I'll refrain.
  15. To OP's #1 point, this guy must have been a hoot. Didn't realize his readership was so large. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Cowper_Brann I like being Presbyterian. My son's FIL is the Pastor to the first Methodist to ever serve on Baylor's Board of Regents, so headway?
  16. When I was 9 the Baylor cheerleaders would hook us up with those little plastic footballs that you could throw seemingly forever. The parents had the swank armchair seats in section F, but always stuck us kids on the bleachers in the old north end zone (this was prior to the expansion from the early 90s). We had some legendary pickup football games out in the grass parking lot at FCS.
  17. Funny you brought that up, as it's CSB time (again) I might have been salty on the Baylor thread but didn't bring a gun, unlike these guys. Judge Gerald's great grandson is a close family friend. He and his wife read scripture at my wedding in 2018, and has traveled worldwide with my father and stepmother over the last 30 years. @Kyrie Eleisonyou actually know this cat, he's a Beaumont mainstay. James Harris's great granddaughter is my stepmother. 120 years later they (and their spouses, and my wife and I) were having dinner in Beaumont discussing ancestral history and figured out their great grandfathers had a gunfight in Waco. Awkward silence. I can't find it in my cloud account but I have a photo of the two of them hugging it out in front of this marker, which is on Austin & 4th in Waco.
  18. No new scandals coming out of certain places, now that my ex moved from Woodway to The Woodlands.
  19. I'm not sure which one, my research says that only a few show effectiveness, possibly the Sovotrimab by GlaxoSmithKlein? Need to talk to my MD and find out what she's thinking. I feel like Forrest Gump. "And or course I got Covid. Again."
  20. I've mentioned my wife's best friend whose husband might possibly be one of us. Last night he completely shattered her SUV's windshield with his forearm and dented the fuck out of her hood jumping down on it. Hmmmmm. Maybe one day.
  21. I've got Omicron. Vaxxed x 2 Pfizer but not boosted. Went to my doc yesterday and had quick nasal swab test for flu and covid which were negative. Blood test for Omicron was positive, results came in this morning. OG Covid was WAYYYYY worse for me, that was 3 weeks of fever with pulse oxymeter hovering near 90, followed by a cough and fatigue that lingered for another month. Omicron so far is headache, drainage, and a cough. No taste/smell loss, no brain fog. O2 around 97. Symptoms suck but are liveable. Doc says I'm getting antibody infusion this week. Wife is negative but also has measurable antibodies, I suspect she had it recently but didn't know it. Key takeaway is that the swab quick test missed it.
