Bogie or the Duke...who ya got?
Stewart, Fonda, Niven and Gable were all older with wives or families and all served. And then there's this from military.com: https://www.military.com/history/why-john-wayne-was-labeled-draft-dodger-during-world-war-ii.html

Bogie or the Duke...who ya got?
We have different definitions of what an American icon should look like and act and represent to the world.

Bogie or the Duke...who ya got?
Wayne was a chicken shit and refused to even go overseas to entertain the troops during WWII, even after his close friend and mentor, John Ford begged him. Bogart served in the Navy during WWI. Wayne's birds of a feather--Ward Bond and Walter Brennan were racist and anti-Semitic. Marion looked good on a horse but he couldn't hold a candle to HB as an actor or as human being. HB was much more of an American icon. He and Bacall fought very publicly against HUAC, while Wayne embraced it.

2021 Houston Texans Ain't Shit Season Thread
You mean the same Lovie Smith who got a Rex Grossman led team to the Super Bowl?

2021 Houston Texans Ain't Shit Season Thread
A total shitshow. There are only 32 of these in the world and they're treating this franchise like a Double A minors team. The team is wrecked until McNair sells and/or gets rid of Easterby. Neither is happening anytime soon and neither is a winning season.

Flores won't come here. He has several better options. This is the land of the desperate misfit toys.

IRS issues - need professional help
An enrolled agent specifically represents people with IRS issues. many CPA's don't deal with the IRS directly.

Search for an enrolled agent in your area. A tax lawyer is too expensive and will eat up the alleged deficit in a heartbeat.

Goosehead Insurance
Yes, they are my agents. They are fine to deal with and rep a number of different insurance companies. I have Traveler's through them for my house and cars and an umbrella policy.

Southwest or every other airline in the history of the world?
We were in Albuquerque for the balloon festival and didn't find out about our cancellation until 3 hours before our flight home to Houston. SW never contacted us, our daughter heard and texted us. Still haven't heard from them, but they are processing our refund after I had to call them. 16 hour drive back to Houston Hobby in a rental car equals no fun.

RIP Norm Macdonald
One of the funniest MFer's ever. Saw him at the Improv in Houston years ago. Still one of the best shows I've seen there. RIP

Not in federal court, where ADA cases are brought.

Smart garage door opener
I got the MyQ for $18 during Amazon prime days. Works well, but not integrated with Alexa, if that’s important to you.

Stupid overpriced home alarm companies
Smith Thompson is $20 per month and you get one month free if you pay for the other 11 months in advance. We’ve been pleased with their service.
