  1. I don't wear hats to fancy restaurants/bars/whatever but I do wear hats indoors. My hair is very oily so if I'm outside doing slave labor ordered by the wife yard work and I'm wearing a hat, I'm not going to take it off when I go to Central Market or to the movies. Even if I'm not doing laborous work and I just haven't washed my hair in the last 12 hours, I'll put a hat on. Nobody has ever said anything to me about it being rude or inappropriate. Then again, my dad went 15 years before he told me that my outgoing voicemail message was terrible so I could be totally wrong.

  2. I'm loving YouTube TV. The only issue I have is that I can't seem to figure out how to schedule a recording when that show isn't next on the listing. I don't want to set a blanket recording for a program called "College Basketball" because then I have to weed through every damn game just to find Texas.

  3. Got caught in traffic so I figured I'd kill time by playing trivia with the wife. A tweet had the top 10 most viewed basic cable networks of 2018 so I asked her to guess the top 3. Her guesses? Fox 4, CBS 11, and ABC 8.

    Me: "Basic cable, not the public channels."

    Wife: "Those ARE basic cable channels."

    Me: "No those are public channels. Basic cable channels would be like ESPN, Fox News, MSNBC, etc."

    Wife: "Growing up we had basic cable and had those channels!"

    Me: "Yes but you had others only available to cable customers. You can't pick up ESPN on rabbit ears. That's what we had to use to pick up channels growing up"

    Wife: "You hunted rabbits just so you could watch TV?"

    Jesus. Christ.

  4. When I worked in Rockwall I got something similar on my door but it was very vague. It basically said "Do you love America? Do you love BBQ? Come rally for America at the Rockwall County courthouse and head out for a night of BBQ, beer, and friends". It was signed by someone using the title "grand dragon" and that's when the flyer went into the trash lol

    It was probably BBQ from Dickey's anyway.

  5. Had to give Stiky Ribz another try and they disappointed again. Ribs this time around weren't dry and actually tasted pretty good. Turkey was average as well as the brisket, bark had almost no flavor to it. Mac and cheese was really creamy and the banana pudding was solid. Despite all of the rave reviews, they are still number two in Forney behind 4T's BBQ.

  6. Something similar happened to me as well. Thanks a lot to the state of Texas and making it illegal for hospitals to hire physicians, I got 5 different bills for an ER visit. They sent one bill to the wrong address and put it into collections. I contacted the company and told them I would only pay what was originally owed and no fees for late/no payment. They agreed and $500 later I got it off my report.

    Clearly, you do not watch Rangers games. The Ranger fan base is still trying to recover from the case of Rhaids in that short stint as our PBP announcer. 

    "It's a caught!"

    "Saddle up baseball, you're going for a ride!" - home run call. Usually came a minute or so after the ball cleared the fence because he had no idea to gauge distances.

    Every ball hit into the outfield was sliced.

    "It's time to play ball ya'll."

    I can't listen to him on the ticket because it gives me PTSD.

     

    I still get PTSD when I hear him on the radio. I was already pissed that Josh Lewin's contract wasn't renewed and the first game without him was the debut of that god awful line "saddle up baseball you're going for a ride".

  8. Finally tried Panther City BBQ, not too bad! Haven't been to this area since Heim was at the trailer and wow it's changed so much. Brisket was a bit average, turkey was moist and delicious, pulled pork great, pork belly burnt ends great, and the beef rib was awesome. Mac and cheese was super, silky, creamy, and sexy. What a great departure from the trend of overwhelming that side with pepper. One thing that really stuck out to me was ordering the beef rib. The only time I've ever had anything resembling a confrontation at a restaurant was at Heim when the cashier and I got into an argument about what an "end cut beef rib" was. They tried to tell me that all beef ribs are end cuts and that wasn't what I was wanting. I wanted a beef rib that was on the end so one side is exposed meat and the other is charred/unexposed. I thought it was simple to get but they were really combative. Cut to Panther City and I asked for the smallest beef rib they had and the guy at the front said "I'll get you an end cut beef rib". Couldn't be happier with that interaction lol

  9. I had to do that once and my lawyer instructed me to only answer the question they ask and do so at a basic level.

    • What is your name?
    • John
    • John......okay?
    • Yes.
    • John what?
    • I don't understand the question.
    • What is your last name?
    • Doe.
    • Where do you work?
    • I work at a business.
    • What do you mean?
    • I don't understand the question

    Felt like an asshole but my lawyer told me that they are not my friend and to look at them as if they were ISIS.

    agree. My HOA is actually pretty good. If anything, they don't enforce the rules we do have enough.

     

    Although, the neon is a bit much. As mentioned above, a pellet gun would solve that problem. So would a lawsuit.

    My HOA is the same way. The only rule they've notified me about is having my trash can out....on trash day. I think it was the inspector's first day on the job. Next home we move to hopefully won't be in an HOA. I just want to be able to live without the fear of this group fining me for insignificant things.
