  1. I have a sensory issue with normal pencils. The sound of lead on paper is far worse than nails on a chalkboard. By the time I was in high school, I'd switched to Papermate #2 mechanical pencils, the ones that look like real pencils and where you twist the tip to extrude the lead. These days the only pencils I use are colored pencils for ticking and tying small sets of hardcopy workpapers.
  2. What is the female equivalent of a BSD? BSC? BSL?
  3. Look up the FB group “Tax Refund Madness”. SMH.
  4. He already said she can't remember the passcode to the one in the garage where it's her own birthday. That wouldn't work. A key fob-operated lock, OTOH, might.
  5. The 911 call from the mom was shortly before 1 am. The dog woke up Jayme. Mom and Jayme hide in the bathroom while Dad checks the front door. That's not an unreasonable procedure at that time of night in a rural or semi-rural setting.
  6. Do you still have halogen and incandescents? Even if you don’t, it could be almost Pavlovian at this point.
  7. Last week, I told my wife that she had used my toothbrush. Me: I just wanted to let you know that you used my toothbrush earlier today, the green one. Her: That's my toothbrush. Me: No, you just got a new one and it's pink. Her: That's your toothbrush. I just got a new one, it was the last one in its package. Me (shows her that the pink toothbrush is unlike any of the others in the package and that the green one is the same as all the others in the package). Her: silence
  8. The story is here. The arrested suspect is black and the shooting appears to be gang-related according to the article.
  9. I ignore much of what my wife says, but I have learned to repeat back the last few sentences without paying attention. This also allows me to identify if she says anything important.
  10. I clicked through the OP to the article. This happened in Arkansas, not North Carolina. There’s no mention of NC in the article now and the NC Fayetteville is in Cumberland County, not Washington County. Washington is the county for Fayetteville, Arkansas.
  11. My wife needed to go to Walmart the other day for some cheap plastic table clothes and cutlery. She decided to go after a family dinner at a local cafe. Knowing the torment my son and I were in for, I suggested we go to the dollar store instead. I thought that, because it was smaller, it would take less time. I forgot that my wife never shops there. She looked at everything. It took an hour.
  12. Well, it's been nice knowing y'all. Woke up this morning and the rice maker bowl was soaking in the sink.
  13. Not surprised she loves three 10"s.
  14. Every weekday at least once for a couple of minutes. Married for four, together for nine. While I’d prefer she text me, it has taken me years to train her to let me know when she’s leaving work. (Since I work from home and she doesn’t, coordinating when she is coming home can impact when I cook dinner.)
  15. I could see her making that mistake if she accidentally switched from her browser or email app to her txt app. Inattention or poor eyesight combined with an accident is one thing. If she genuinely confused the two, I'm sorry.

    Horns Down

    I don't think it is taunting in all situation, but it is disrespectful. I haven't kept up with this thread because this isn't my fight, (no one does an inverted TCU hand sign), but I had an idea. If you throw horns down with your palm up and arm straight, it looks like Spiderman's webslinging. Yeah, that Spiderman. And it will work with any team's hand sign. I wanna see players of all teams webslinging all over the place (metaphorically, on the field, not elsewhere, NTTAWWT).
  17. I've read the Slow Regard of Silent Things, the poem "How Old Holly Came to Be", and the Bast novella The Lightning Tree. Slow Regard changes Auri, generally for the better though I am worried that it . The Bast novella really helps flesh out that character, but doesn't add much . The poem is great worldbuilding, but doesn't add much to the books.
  18. If the school knew about the earlier arrest, some heads should roll. Since it happened out-of-state around Spring Break(?), there’s a possibility that the school never knew, but I don’t think that is likely. At this point in time, you’d think every major program would be running a new criminal background check on every player before two-a-days each year as a risk mitigation strategy.
  19. Turpin is suspended pending the school reviewing the facts, at which point he is probably done. Tarrant County DA Sharen Wilson doesn't fuck around. Check out her old profile (as a hanging judge) in the NY Times. DV and innocence claims are her big projects, so this won't go well for Turpin. Plus QB Robinson is having season-ending surgery this week. This has gone from a reloading year (in our dreams) very quickly to a rebuilding year and now to an "Aw hell no" year.
  20. As a white Hispanic, I've found being visibly white; middle-aged; driving a boring, late model car; and, having USAA auto insurance help with cops. It's like they're looking for a reason not to give me a ticket, like that old Dave Chappelle skit.
  21. And yet she was also crying in the courtroom and seemed hurt by Jimmy calling the crying judge an asshole.
  22. The pic looks like Megamind in a Mike Ehrmantraut mask.
  23. Flight of the Navigator is over 30 years old and Disney just had the distribution rights.
  24. At the time, I thought he was nervous because Mike might have them blow the charge early for his earlier transgression.
  25. Or that's when his birthday is.
