  1. Wife's school (Pillow) will lose some students due to rezoning to send kids from north of 183 to McBee, but will get a bunch from Wooten switching to dual-language. Her old school (Maplewood) is closing. Hopefully staff consolidation doesn't cause problems for her. Next year will be her 20th year with AISD (all in SE).
  2. Not going to lie, at first I thought he must've been the owner of this place:
  3. Y'all can keep discussing your specific hates and biases, but I'm sure this is the main motive. I'm guessing him and the ex split because she wanted to stay Mormon and he didn't and she wouldn't/couldn't marry him because of it because it couldn't be solemnized in church (or her family pressured her not to marry a non-mormon). He probably held a deep resentment over it despite marrying someone else and blamed the Mormon church for it. Couple that with being nutso with potential PTSD and this happens. I wouldn't be surprised if the guy knocking on his door brought it all fresh again and triggered this into motion.
  4. Your phone knows if you happen to mention toasters to your wife, and shows you toaster ads for the next 2 weeks. Any ad you see or hear is being tracked.
  5. They make their money off ad revenue. If you're watching the ad, then it worked. ABC only cares about shutting down the streams because of the NCAA or conference copyrights. Just like the NFL is getting them shut down. I doubt the networks care that much about a feed that can be picked up for free with an antenna.
  6. This is hilarious. Getting a pirated feed means that SOMEBODY out there is giving money to them so you can watch, which means you watching is helping them get money. You're still seeing their ads, which is where most of their money comes from. Way to go! You showed them!
  7. Great idea! Everyone who thinks we shouldn't give money to ABC/Disney/ESPN should buy game tickets for us poors so we can join you in the boycott. I mean, if you REALLY care that much about it... I'll need 4 for every home and away game, btw, including travel costs, hotels, meals, etc.
  8. They sign a Code of Ethics which governs all kinds of "personal life" stuff. They can't say being gay is "bad" on their personal FB page , for example. You okay with them not being able to post that? Some districts don't like it if a teacher posts a photo of them holding a margaritas or in a bikini. I know a teacher that got in trouble because she went out drinking with one of her students' moms and posted about it on FB. Maybe you think it's okay to post stuff about how certain races are always the ones causing trouble? White teachers have been in trouble for singing along to rap songs on TikTok and using the n-word that is in the lyrics. You okay with that? Or do you only get upset when they are punished for something you agree with? Lot of stupid people out there without filters who think they can do or say whatever. I doubt half of the people on this site would post even 10% of what they do if we were required to use our real names and everything was searchable via Google. I know I'd probably be in trouble for stuff I post in the IPIHB section. Btw - my wife is a teacher. She doesn't even comment on or "like" posts that some of her "friends" post that are political or potentially inflammatory because too many people like to look up who reacted "in the wrong way" and start contacting employers to complain.
  9. Texas 38 tOSU 17 Defense causes a switch at QB in the 3rd. They get a late garbage TD. Arch yards - 295
  10. I'm sure this has been asked before but i couldn't find it. I bought my domain name and am trying to design a website thru some of the usual template places (like Wix), but I need some place to host it that is reliable but not expensive and will allow me to create multiple email addresses @ my domain name for various purposes. I think I know how to do the name pointer so that clicking my domain name takes me to the pages where they are hosted. This will be for my bookkeeping business. It will mostly just be 2 or 3 pages with services and contact info. No e-commerce stuff. Most packages I've seen from various providers have all kinds of stuff like "free domain name" and "up to 5 websites" and a bunch of extra stuff I don't need. Some (like Wix) don't offer email but offer Google Workspace sign up as part of the package (couldn't I do that separately?) which looks like it has 5 emails for the lowest tier? I might need this anyway since I might need to share Google Docs with clients. I haven't had a website in YEARS and the last one I used was GoDaddy which everyone seems to frown on right now. I'm sure a bunch of you are much more involved in this than I am. What should I do? I'm a poor, but need a website and business email so I can start my marketing.
  11. My wife packs for herself and both kids 2 months before the trip and still isn't ready to go. I pack 30 minutes before it's time to leave and am in the car 10 minutes early.
  12. Anyone know what positions were eliminated at AISD Central Office today?
  13. Lived on a farm when I was a kid. Once had a calf we had to bottle-feed because mama rejected it and he wasn't doing good. Dad sent me out one early morning to give it a bottle and I found it like this, covered in maggots. The smell is the worst part. I went back and told my dad. Not sure how he got it out of the barn stall.
