  1. When my eldest was a senior in HS at 17 she found our pot and, since we'd had many conversations with her about the various intoxicants, she came right to us and said WTF? Turned out she had no clue we were regular smokers and she had been smoking for a couple of years on her own. I had told her that pot was better than alcohol, but she should wait until she was older to use them because of the potential for cognitive development issues. I didn't start until I was in my twenties but my wife started in high school and if that didn't demonstrate the case, nothing would. Anyway, she's a productive member of society now at 21 living on her own and paying all her own bills. My only rules were she couldn't smoke with us until she turned 18. My two other girls, 15 and 13, already know we smoke and neither has shown the slightest interest. In fact, I call my 15 year old Grandma Prude because she's somewhat disapproving of our lifestyle. She's got a very strong moral sense and always tries to do the right thing, but she's no narc fortunately. We've had lots of conversations on the subject and as she grows up, she's getting more understanding of the difference between illegal and immoral. It's tough to be a parent, but I've found the key is open communication and understanding. It also helps to get lucky and have good, self motivated kids with strong personal morals.
  2. I miss 221 Cafe at the 221 Truck Stop in Buda. That might have been the best breakfast in central Texas for about 15 years.
  3. I can't believe you think anybody who wants your cell phone can't get it any time they choose. I'm all for privacy but let's get real. Your shit is out there and anybody can get it.
  4. Was playing golf at The Rock many years ago (80's) and about to hit my 2nd on #2 when one of those dust devils came running down the fairway. I was mesmerized by the coke can flying around about 30 feet in the air and so I didn't move as it rolled right over me. Spun my pull cart a full 360 degrees and stung like a bitch but then it moved on and about 20 yards after it hit me the coke can shot about 20 feet straight up and then fell to the ground and the thing was gone. Found the whole thing very amusing.
  5. I like names so I collect good ones. Latest one I saw was a movie producer named Richard Suckle.
  6. I loved that place. Bacon cheeseburger was $.79. Used to get four of those, fries, and a coke for $5. On drunk nights it was the Bag o' Burgers ten to a bag for $3 each. I miss it.
  7. Fantastic surrender cobra from Private Dumbass.
  8. I've been using one for a little while. Still on the first blade. It's not as good as the Gillette Fusion I had, but I think it's worth it for the price. I'd say the jury is still out for me, really.
  9. How would shooting the guy have stopped the woman from shooting him? It's a stupid argument. Once he pulled his weapon the guy who pushed him backed off and there was no longer a threat of force. He chose to start some shit, got assaulted and stopped the threat. Then he murdered the guy.
  10. I agree with you, but it's pretty fucking hilarious coming from a cop.
  11. Complete garbage. Do not watch.
  12. Man bites dog, eh?
  13. With a serious #metoo problem. Have you been following the Michigan State disaster?
  14. We're still trying stuff, but I'm not hopeful. My family has been breeding and raising boxers for years. I've only seen this happen once before and nothing worked then. I haven't given up hope completely but I just want him to have a good home. Hopefully still with us, but it's not looking good.
  15. Jiff. Choosy moms choose Jiff you know.
  16. That would cost me half my shit or likely prison time, so probably not. It might still be worth it, but I'm going to stick with this plan for now.
  17. You guys!
  18. I think we can only conclude from this that white women are racist as fuck.
  19. I'm in South Austin. I've got a male (neutered) boxer a little over a year old. He's a great dog for the most part, but he's started fighting with my other male boxer (his sire) over my wife. There's a thread in help if you want the whole scoop. He's very sweet with people and the other dogs and doesn't even fight with his sire unless my wife is there. He loves to play ball and he's very smart. Crate trained and uses a dog door at my house. He's leash trained and generally very well behaved. He's very vocal, but doesn't bark much, if that makes sense. He's big, about 70lbs, I'm guessing as we haven't weighed him in a while. He loves kids and people in general. He's fairly high energy but self exercising and plays well by himself. His name is Solo as he was a single pup. That's pretty rare, but not unusual. He's up to date on shots and is microchipped. If you're interested PM me and we can figure out the details. He would be ideal as a single dog, but would probably integrate fine into a multi-dog home. I have leash, collar, harness, and microchip paperwork.

    You are a child.
  21. So you gave it to her twice?
  22. I think I'll give this a try when the women folk aren't around. Thanks!
  23. Puppy is initiating the fight. There is usually a short stare down with growling and raised hackles. I don't think it's a dominance thing so much as a deferral thing, based on research I've done. I.E. puppy has something and daddy muscles in and doesn't defer when signaled. BTB is a lover not a fighter, but he's also kind of clueless sometimes. The other dogs will just warn him, but the pup goes after him hard.
