  1. Checking in as +.

    Outside of being tired for 2 days and a sore throat, the only pain in the ass was the brain fog yesterday that went away by 4-5 pm. I couldn’t remember shit most of the morning unless I wrote it down. It started fading mid afternoon and by early evening was gone.

    JnJ showing its muscle!

    Wife has it to, she’s basically had very very mild flu like symptoms hers started before mine and still continue but nothing crazy. Same JnJ. We both got it back in March.

  2. Ok.  I know these are basic and stupid questions.  I also know we have a gambling board.  Nevertheless, here goes...
    One of the things I'm really looking forward to is gambling at one of the casino sports bars.  I've read as much as I can, so that I don't look like a dumb dick when it's time to place a bet.  Tell me if I'm missing anything.
    Let's say I want to bet on a game; money line.  From what I understand, the board/screen will have a game # with the spreads/money lines.  As an example, college bball (I'll be there for the tourney.)
    #452  Texas - 450  Prairie View +300
    So, in order to bet Texas, I'd say, "Game 452.  Texas" and hand the guy/girl an amount.  Is this correct?
    I know how the payouts work.  I've just never actually placed a bet, other than a parlay I used to do with a bookie back in Knoxville.  
     

    Highly recommend downloading the app. So much easier to place bets in real time and you don’t have to go back to the window to cash in your ticket, etc. The app also allows you to bet anywhere (that is legal) so you don’t have to worry about trying to run to the sportsbook right before kickoff when you’re hungover from the night before.

  3. Nice stove but it reminds me of the time my dad bought my mom a microwave for Christmas.

    My dad bought my mom whatever was considered the fanciest vacuum at the time and said it was from my siblings and I (we had no idea) one year. He also bought her a Lexus that same year.

    Solid troll job.

  4. I have HuluLive and ESPN+ and only issue I have is when spectrum fucks up and internet goes out.

    Love the Hulu UI. Don’t DVR shit as anything I want is on demand after the fact.

    Only negative is making sure I log in once a month while at home so I can watch on my phone when I travel.

  5. Any idea if Milwaukee does the mount back plate as an adder? I bought a smaller one to fit between some existing stuff and was going to install a pegboard on the wall but like the idea of it being mounted to the bench to hide wood and other large objects behind it.

  6. Super super premature, but considering a second property. Not sure what, everywhere from a condo in Chicago to land in middle of nowhere. Wife and I are on two different spectrums here but there’s a sweet spot on both extremes we’d agree on.

    Any recommendations on things to keep in mind when looking? Any gotchas? Extra costs were not thinking about? Minimum time in a place to keep in mind, etc?

  7. I heard Coventry Homes is making you sign a document on new builds that says your price can change by the time they finish building and you will owe whatever it is at that point.  No limit like it could go up 10% or something just a “hey, we have been building your house for the last 6 months and now that it’s almost finished you owe us an extra $100K since materials have gone up in price. Don’t like it then we will just sell your home to one of the hundreds of people waiting for a house.”

    Wow. One of my neighbors is buddy buddy with our Coventry sales guy still. I’ll ask him to ask the sales guy about that.
  8. My wife flew in for the weekend after the CDC guidance and announcement. Compliance sounds a lot like brainwashing to me doesn't it? Lololol

    What part of Chicago? I was in the weekend before and spent most of the time in River North. Wear the mask to get inside and from there more or less free for all once you got “seated”.

    Went to Wrigley and had good seats behind home plate, they didn’t give much of shit.

    The blarts weren’t wearing a mask anywhere.

    Side note, (no cloak room) they were looking to be challenged.

    Double side note, I hope the outside tables/streets blocked off stays in the summer. A beautiful Chicago summer afternoon that shit would be awesome. We never were out there since it was cold and rainy but several people wouldn’t go inside unless to piss.

    Only downside was they added a 5% covid grat to all checks. You could ask to remove it, but I didn’t want to be that asshole. At least their suggested tip didn’t include that. In SF their suggested tip included all 123443 taxes then calculated the tax.
  9. So backstory, my wife’s dad passed away from cancer (pancreatic) at a young age. So I get she’s sensitive to the subject.

    I like the occasional dip and also smoke the occasional cigar. Typically I buy cigars in bulk (way cheaper). She always gives me shit when I buy it and says “fine enjoy your cancer”. Makes it seem like I smoke a cigar daily, instead it’s usually 2 a month. The cigars I buy I usually only smoke half of them and share the other half with whoever I smoke them with.

    Fast forward to yesterday we go to a cigar lounge to celebrate her brother moving close to us. She’s ripping those little cigars that look like blunts like they’re going out of style and saying how fun the cigar bar is.

  10. Wife:  You need to give me your detailed plans for the upcoming holiday weekend so I know how I'm affected and can plan accordingly.
    Me:  Pffffttt.  Plans.  Like I can have any fucking plans of my own without consulting with you and considering the kids.
    Also Wife:  I am now telling you about my plans that I made without telling you or consulting with you or considering you.  Also, these plans might put our kids in danger since you won't be there.

    Guess who is the one in trouble right now?

    Highly highly highly recommend the shared calendar. My wife would make plans and not tell me until the day of.

    New rule in our house if it’s not on the calendar I’m not obligated to go if I don’t want to. It’s done wonders. Best part is if I go, I get extra credit and cash that shit in right away.
  11. I grew up in Southlake and most of the Karen's were not actually from Southlake.

    My vote is for The Woodlands. I met several people from there in college and they're insufferable. Always yelling "h-town" and saying they're from the "hoodlands".

    Absolute terrible tippers and expected the best service.

  12. Builders don’t have land or materials. I deal with builders on a daily basis. There are some who are actually slowing down not speeding up. Builders may catch up but it won’t be within a year. Also I don’t think sitting out helps anything. Prices aren’t going down.

    Yup.

    I live in a new-ish development where people typically do the “design build” type of thing. According to the head sales guy, due to lumber costs and labor shortage, the sales team for our builder is limited to 5 new build sales a month.
