  1. Already did this. Fuck Elmo.
  2. 1935 Labor Day Hurricane And these 42 have reached Category 5. Trump is an idiot. Water is wet. Here are the names of the estimated 42 tropical cyclones that have reached Category 5 intensity since 1924: "Cuba" - 1924 "San Felipe II Okeechobee" - 1928 "Bahamas" - 1932 "Cuba" - 1932 "Cuba-Brownsville" - 1933 "Tampico" - 1933 "Labor Day" - 1935 "New England" - 1938 "Great Atlantic" - 1944 Carol - 1953 Janet - 1955 Esther - 1961 Hattie - 1961 Inez - 1966 Beulah - 1967 Camille - 1969 Edith - 1971 Anita - 1977 David - 1979 Allen - 1980 Gilbert - 1988 Hugo - 1989 Andrew - 1992 Mitch - 1998 Isabel - 2003 Ivan - 2004 Emily - 2005 Katrina - 2005 Rita - 2005 Wilma - 2005 Dean - 2007 Felix - 2007 Matthew - 2016 Irma - 2017 Maria - 2017 Michael - 2018 Dorian - 2019 Lorenzo - 2019 Ian - 2022 Lee - 2023 Beryl - 2024 Milton - 2024
  3. I got both of mine on Saturday. This is now the third double I have gotten. Just each arm is sore. Nothing else. I love my Oura. It is depressing how little I sleep though.
  4. Sex isn't the only way to get pregnant. I wouldn't be shocked if a lot of those are through artificial means.
  5. No matter how much money Elmo has, he is completely repellent to the female of the species.
  6. Michigan losing not great. Sigh.
  7. Arky kicker pulls his groin on the miss. Lol.
  8. The announcers for the aggy game... No one is talking about aggy (talking about to win the SEC)... Didn't we all know Missouri was WAY overrated?
  9. Just here to say how sad this whole situation is, and I completely feel for the folks who thought they would be ok as they are far enough inland or far away from the storm's landfall (see Harvey). Chimney Rock State Park is where these scenes from Last of the Mohicans were filmed.
  10. Onto less serious topics, I ordered the Thom Browne scarf and some friendship bracelets back on September 16 and still do not have either. Sigh.
  11. I think you have actually met my folks at a Houston event or another. I know. And no offense taken. I wrestle with it myself. I have gotten grief on here for refusing to step foot in Texas until I have no choice (work related), but the shit Republicans have done in Texas and in other states is personal for me and for a lot of other women and members of the LGBTQ+ community.
  12. Me too. I saw the headline, and was about to send it off to my Vietnam Vet father (who voted for Trump in 2016 and 2020, though to be fair to my dad, he is voting for the R, not the guy behind it (never voted Dem, not even 1963)). I am working on him and my mom to either hold their noses and vote for Kamala (I would put that at a 5% chance) or to stay home (45% chance at the moment). I do not have a lot of hope, and if they vote for Trump, that will irrevocably damage my relationship with them. For those that think this is a hyperbole, Trump hates women and was totally cool taking away our right to bodily autonomy. It is shocking to me that my dad, who told me growing up that I could be anyone I wanted to be, would vote for a misogynist like Trump, who is totally cool with relegating women to the same place they are in enlightened places like Afghanistan under the Taliban or Saudi Arabia (i.e. as little more than property).
  13. A Vietnam Vet gave him his. https://nypost.com/2024/10/05/us-news/vietnam-war-veteran-gives-trump-his-purple-heart-for-taking-bullet-in-butler-you-got-guts/
  14. https://www.mlleshetravels.com/ The places I would like to go back to, or do go back to when I can are: MoSuke Restaurant AMALIA Montee (Still) Le Chateaubriand I have writeups on MoSuke and Montee on that website I linked.
  15. I liked this week’s ep.
  16. I just sent this to my parents. They do not like Kamala, for whatever reason. Probably becuase she has a D behind her name. I point blank told them that they need to drag their heads out of their asses. This got sent today. Trump plays politics with disaster funds... Basically, if it is a Democrat asking, or a state that voted for his opponent, like in 2017, they are shit out of luck. This is not the way the President of the US is supposed to act, especially in light of a disaster. Aren't you glad, as Texans, that Biden did not do that after the freeze in 2021? As good Christians, we are supposed to help those in need. I hope on November 5th, you both realize that this isn't the guy needed to lead this country, and you either hold your nose and vote Harris/Walz or stay home. https://www.eenews.net/articles/helene-isnt-the-first-time-trump-inserted-politics-into-a-natural-disaster/ And this isn't the first time. See the response to NC for Hurricane Matthew in 2017. https://www.pbs.org/newshour/nation/north-carolina-denied-99-percent-federal-recovery-funds-hurricane-matthew North Carolina will receive less than 1 percent of the federal funds it requested to cover damages associated with Hurricane Matthew, which hit the East Coast in October.
  17. The misogyny and hate in this thread is fucking unreal. So not surprising given this thread originated in Daily Texan. Some of you people need Jesus, and not Republican Jesus.
  18. Those are the nuts that were at the Trump trial every day. And if you have never seen nudity in Houston, well, you didn’t spend a lot of time in Montrose. Remember, I lived in Houston for years, from 2009 to 2019.
  19. I was there at the taping last night. This was a great segment.
  20. All good. Until they prove otherwise, Texas voters are shitty, and I lump my own parents in there becuase they vote Republican. I love them, but politically, I hate what they condone. And I am trying to change their minds. But since I am a person that Texans have decided shouldn't have agency over her own body, they can all go fuck themselves.
