Advice on engagement ring budget
Cubic zarconia is actually more brilliant. She'll never know. If she finds out, tell you had to take a stand for the victims of violence and corruption that is part and parcel of the diamond business. Separately, you're about to enter into a legally binding contract stipulating that 50% of every penny you earn for the entirely of your marriage instantly becomes hers. Great idea. Bernard

2018 Body Transformation Thread
1st of 6 five pounds fasts to get me from 70 to 100 is complete. Scale hit 75 pounds lost this AM. Time for another Elaine Benes approved Big Salad. Full Discloure: the water fast has become a bit less strict in the past week or so. GF made tacos one night. I had a few spoonfuls or seasoned ground beef straight rom the pan. Steaks on the grill another night. She ate 2/3rds of a New York Strip. She was about to wrap up the leftover portion and put in the fridge. Seconds later it was in my belly. So tasty. Starting round 2 of 6 tomorrow. Bernard

Best Burgers in Houston
RIP Otto's Hamburgers. Their Super Burger (double meat, double cheese) kicked so much ass. Their BBQ restaurant out back was no bueno though. Bernard

Yes: Pools are worth it....
Yes, the beach part was a bit of a joke. There is a difference though. I prefer fresh. Dropping a few tabs in the skimmer every now and then isn't much of a chore. Bernard

Moving to Houston
Sugar Land is the best of the burbs IMO. If you don't mind paying the toll, the HOV makes for a really easy commute to downtown. If you can find a second rider, it's free. At your commute times, the main lanes aren't bad either. As long as you live pretty close to 59, getting in town (Galleria Area, Inner Loop, NRG, etc.) are all easily accessible during non rush hours. If you need a real estate broker, hit me up. I work cheap. :-) Bernard

I don’t get the allure of a salt water pool. If I want that I’ll go to the beach. Bernard

Senior Citizen Issues - Assisting Your Parents
She's your mom. Do what you gotta do. I thankful my mom is still going strong at 75. Has more energy than anyone I know at any age. Still works several days a week even though she's financially secure. Bernard

Rube Goldberg Machine Videos
I thought a Rube Goldberg machine had to be an incredibly complex way to actually perform some simple everyday task. I don't see a task here. Bernard

Yes: Pools are worth it....
Pool shit I bought this weekend: bucket of tabs; bucket of granular; leaf rake pole attachment; mini leaf rake (for kids); two mini-basketballs (now we have three). Pool shit I did this weekend: shock pool; refill chlorinator with tabs; clean out pump basket; clean filter cartridges; empty skimmers; change auto-cleaner leaf bag. Feel like I'm pretty set for the season. Worth it. Bernard

Where do I post my Bernard shit?
I never wanted a Bernard Forum. Too easy for the boot lickers to avoid the forum and keep their heads buries in the sand. Bad cops threads should be front and center in current events. Bernard
