  1. Yep. This is a one time deal. Fuck getting married a second time.
  2. This is the correct answer. I switched jobs a few weeks ago and went from a 9/80 schedule with two days in the office to a 4/10 schedule all on-site. I’ll take it because I enjoy having every Friday off, but really wish I had at least one day at home. Again, this isn’t about productivity at all. This is about real estate and energy costs. I mentioned it before, but case in point: The firm I am at now uses resources in India, but the core team and management is in Houston. How is that any different than hybrid or work from home? In fact, I think it is LESS productive for a couple of reasons: The time difference between India and Texas is prohibitive to collaboration, even via Teams. Second, for a variety of reasons, this lends itself to more rework. Even more comical is I might not even see my manager on any given day and I rarely see the client (they are in our office as well, but I rarely talk to them face to face). It’s horseshit that we can’t do this on a hybrid schedule.
  3. Whoever buys me a full spread at Leroy and Lewis I will train in Brazilian jiu jitsu.
  4. The high temps here in Houston are almost the same as the high temps as the project job site on the Arabian peninsula that I am working on. Ok cool, hook ‘em.
  5. Looks like a surly 4runner photo bomb.
  6. I’ll give everyone 3 guesses as to which party those white dudes vote for and the first two don’t count. I think I see Johnny sack and prong horn in there.
  7. Thanks. He will be scheduling it soon. Today was exploratory with the hope of a stent, but when then they saw the two blockages, they abandoned that and ran a couple more tests. As for the list, I have only been to 4 of those spots. But I think all of them deserve it (assuming the people at J Bar M learned well from Willow). I likely will try the one in Montgomery and the Valley before the ones near Dallas. I just never find myself up there. Butter's is great. The first time I went when they were in Mathis, it was very good. But they have really dialed it now. And the elotes is one of the few sides I bother with at a BBQ joint.
  8. Somewhat related: working for someone that doesn’t have a family. Always puts the caution up for me because there is a good chance their job is their life and they will expect it to be yours too.
  9. Plus they aren’t required to burn books, which brings insurance premiums down.
  10. You like chicks smashing your balls with a tennis racket? Kinky.
  11. Should probably just stop being sad.
  12. Lulz. Absolutely. Because the foaming at the mouth right are so very understanding when it comes to mental health. Or really anything.
  13. You’re better than this AB.
  14. Not going to turn this into my family medical blog thread, but I was misinformed. Looks like a double bypass is the way the doc wants to go.
  15. Time tested in other areas so they moved on to prisons. Got to keep profits up, gonna need more prisoners to meet this years profit forecast.
  16. Salt life/saltwater soul, punisher, come and take it, don’t tread on me, 3%, thin blue line stickers. Any or all.
  17. Thanks. Haha yeah, I know the perception here, but most of my lunches are salads (not bbq salads) and dinners are relatively healthy (like fish and asparagus or quinoa and ground turkey and some baked vegetables). Thanks. Yeah, the rest of you lazy fucks need to step up.
  18. Yeah I was surprised by J Bar M too. I haven’t been back since Willow left, nor do I intend to. But alas, I’m slowing down my bbq intake. Pops just had a stent put in this morning and there is a second blockage that they are not sure can be resolved with a stent. He is 76 and active, but family history on both sides isn’t great. So, yeah…time to cut back.
  19. List is up. All the spots we suspected are on it. Most others are far from me, so not sure when I will try them. https://www.texasmonthly.com/bbq/25-best-new-improved-bbq-joints-texas/
  20. Yeah, was thinking Reese and Brisket and Rice. I am going to try KG next time I’m over in Austin.

  22. Not something I did, but my grandfather (so by proxy I guess). But seems to fit the thread. My mom's dad was a hard drinking, racist South Texan. My biological grandmother I never knew was a drug addict. When my mom was maybe 1, my grandmother took her and her siblings to New York. Kidnap might not be the right word as I am sure she wanted to get away from her situation, but it was against my grandfather's will. He could fly planes and flew to New York to bring them all back. Supposedly on the way back, my mom needed milk, so my grandfather landed in a farmer's field and acquired milk from the farmer. Kind of feel that is a very Texan spirit.
  23. Kind of. No way to qualify everyone's experiences. For instance, as I mentioned up thread, I would consider myself fortunate and of the 3rd base variety. However, I never went to private school, I did travel to Honduras when I was 14 to stay with family for a month, but that was also the first time I had ever been on a plane. Meh...
