  1. Stumbled back on this and remembered a little over 4 yrs. ago when we were stressin' over admission, etc.

    A little over 4 years later, he did it!!   Now a Longhorn with letters!  Walked in May, diploma'd last month.

    That’s fantastic. Congrats . My son just got into the mechanical engineering program last week. Hoping it brings the same growth that it did for your boy. Congrats again.

    Let us know what you do… I’m about due to start the calls again myself

    Well, since I'm impatient went ahead and used the chat function.     Pretty painless.   Got $7.78 a month (each) for 2 cars.    Tried for the 5$ + tax deal that I had last two years but he typed that this was best available offer.    Did "guarantee" my rate would stay that for next renewal.   Made a note in my file (rolls eyes).

    Whole thing took about 15 minutes  (no human interaction) so I will consider that my win for the day. 

    Good luck.

  3. Joining thread.

    Started year at 205. I’m 5’11. Want to get down to 174 by may 1.

    Steps to help achieve:
    Quit drinking
    Fasting 16-8
    10k Steps a day
    Strength training 4x week
    Daily sauna
    Daily calories between 1500 and 2000.

    Currently at 195 but I know a lot of the quick loss is water and simply quitting booze.

    Keep it up all!

    Onward!

  5. Son got into TX Mechanical Engineering program over the weekend. Still waiting to hear on Honors. I’m not really sure how big a deal that honors program is, but assume he will do it if he gets in. Proud of the lad. I was an 1100 SAT auto admit in 80’s and couldn’t even sniff getting in now. still waiting on Georgia Tech, Duke, Michigan and Stanford.

  6. Headed to NYC Jan 5th-9th with my oldest son (22).   Staying on upper west side (Hotel Beacon -2130 Broadway).   He's a big theatre buff so think we are covered there for 2 nights, but looking for a great comedy/improv place as well as a live music (small) venue.   Jazz or old rock n roll place. Not looking for the hippest place, but rather an old classic type venue..  Also, any cheap/medium priced restaurants places on upper west side would be appreciated.  

    Thanks
