  1. Coming back to this. That was really amazing. I wish we had made a day of it. I’ve got some spectacular champagne we shoulda opened. I don’t want to say it was life changing but it was meaningful and the more time passes the more meaningful it was. Makes me feel small, in a comforting kinda way. Five stars, would visit again.
  2. We were having a brief convo about how basketball has changed, this video right here. We learned the pick and roll and on and off ball screens but ghost screens, slips, etc that’s all newer. It’s pretty cool shit how things evolved but that UConn offense is another level man I tell ya.
  3. hot damn I got a date with Alvin fly fishing for reds!!!! I'm stoked.
  4. that was bad ass. didn't do much, put on a play list and laid on pool loungers and watched the show. bunch of folks on the water to enjoy it. I can see why people wanted to travel and party. it was legit all the way around, 10 out of 10.
  5. I’ve talked to my son about going that route and doing it for 8-10 years. I’ve talked to him about a number of angles but there is no doubt it’s one of the most lucrative ways to go. To me the gamble isn’t the hours it’s the lifestyle. Which is not to say anything negative about your daughter at all.
  6. That and the ability to get kids to fully execute an offensive set. It’s no different than other sports too, executing the details matter. Some coaches can draw that out of their players, most can’t.
  7. Agreed that was a great watch.
  8. No shit Texas is like the 2nd or 3rd most populous state in the country. There are a lot more white oriole, black people, Asian folk, queer folk, old dudes, kids, dogs, and on and on than in Tennessee. I don’t give a fuck about any team but Texas. Hate some, really hate a few. Don’t care about the rest.
  9. I’d love for Austin to bottom out. It’s been a shit 2 years with my wife playing tennis 5 days a week and doing a custom job every now and again. We haven’t started a spec house since 2020. It’s been so bad I wouldn’t even consider click on this thread for the longest time.
  10. If your Lakeway property is investment property and you buy the condo - not just help your daughter - and you then treat it as an investment property - which means she rents from you, then you’re in 1031 territory. If you are just helping her then no unless you have leftover homestead tax exemption available - the 2 out of the last 5 years rule under the federal tax code. TIC might work but you’d want to have a 1031 expert look at it. don’t know shit about fuck about co-ops. So your answer is yes you can but probably you won’t - for good reason.
  11. So a dominate female athlete must be a man? Or must be trans? Fuck both of you for that misogynistic bullshit. Get out of here with that gross ass shit. The more popular women’s sports get - among girls and women - the more athletic it will become.
  12. Well I think the ISU athletic dept is better than Iowa.
  13. I dunno I don’t think god is funny and he ain’t ripping my heart out and if he did like fucking hell I’d believe.
  14. Oh fuck. Jesus talk. Jesus must hate Iowa amirite @Al_4_ISU
  15. I mean I’m a hugger but Jesus how many hugs she gotta give to take a seat? Congrats my friend, I get it.
  16. Iowa has no answer for USC inside game and USC has locked down Clark for the most part after the first Q. That’s the game.
  17. Unfortunate Clark forced the last two, she’s so much better than that
  18. Dunno about that but if he ever asks for free legal advice I’ll be all over his ass. Talk about a reason to hate lawyers I’ll give him one.
  19. Sail and Yachting World l please. I’ll take Texas Observer and Texas Monthly too. Kthxbai.

    LBGTQ

    True and it makes Rett syndrome that much more heart breaking - debilitating physical disabilities and unable to speak - yet many girls and women with Rett have the internal thought life of a preteen by the time they are adults. My friends daughter has had crushes, has cried because she wasn’t able to have a normal prom, and the list goes on and on. Truly someone trapped in a body that doesn’t function. Anyway, dehumanizing slurs can all DIAGF.

    LBGTQ

    I was trying to be irreverent and highlight the absurdity of the use of the word. i agree 100%. my best friends daughter has Rett Syndrome - while she would squarely fit in the slur if used by someone - she is hardly deserving of such a name. Though unable to control her body and unable to speak she is a nuanced and complex person with emotions, thoughts, hopes and desires and someone that knows she’s not like the others and has done the hard work to cope with her condition. Hardly what I would consider “retarded” it’s a terrible word.
  22. Sanctimonious much? First we don’t call people by their names on this board. Last I checked that’s actually a bannable offense. second, broad strokes calling people losers for being active on a board is silly. third, in my experience, I have found those who “hate” lawyers and say that as a blanket statement have their own set of problems and many are often real world bullies or they just aren’t very smart. and fourth some of us spend time here and we have full and enriching lives. now I agree anyone who attacks someone with mental illness for sport certainly doesn’t have his best interest at heart. So we do agree on that one thing.
  23. I don’t see Purdue beating UConn.
