August 23, 20232 yr I don't understand why people consider the Hill Country as a whole to be pretty. Gorgeous spots? Absolutely. Pretty much any spot with water running is amazing. Love being on the rivers. And the towns like Boerne and Wimberley are nice. But overall, it's hot, dry, rocky, with some random hills and scrubby trees. I actually think East Texas is much prettier in general.I’ve been yelled at for expressing this exact thought.

August 24, 20232 yr Are we still talking about regions of Texas or women’s grooming? If the latter, I agree. People prefer fucking Chewbaca?I mean I have waded some dense swamps in sweaty environs with Aunt Flo. But we are talking Prefer.

"Prefer" suposes at least one alternate choice, the composition of which has to influence the preferred one. This may be an unpopular opinion, but getting a face-full (well, and onto other parts) of female locker room denizens post-game and pre-shower has been an occasionally occurrent fantasy of mine. One of those did in fact include a tenniser who blamed her recent defeat on Aunt Flo; I was not put off so easily, praise Jeebus.
August 27, 20232 yr Scrolled by Hunger Games on the TV. Jennifer Lawrence looks like she has partial Downs. 7th decile Hollywood starlet for looks at best.
September 30, 20232 yr I turned down a trip to Vegas this weekend to go to Lake Charles. My birthday was Wednesday and the wife offered to take me to Vegas. But what's the point? I'm 51, married with two kids at home. What exactly am I going to do in Vegas with my wife that I can't do in LC? Ok, so I will miss the buffets. But within two hours I can be at my hotel, gamble my $200 and then come home. Without all of the airport hassle. And I can still eat all the shit, I don't need to be eating. Plus I get to stop at buc-ees. Edited September 30, 20232 yr by Brothahorn

September 30, 20232 yr Vegas is fun- go see it once. The gambling rules tend to be better in Lake Chuck. I think East Texas is boring scenery wise. 60 foot pine trees as far as you can see, which is about 15 fucking feet in front of you.
September 30, 20232 yr @Brothahorn, @Vic Mackey, my go-to birthday sentiment, in the immortal words of Roger Waters (lyrics), Richard Wright, and David Gilmour (shared vocals): And you run and you run to catch up with the sun, but it’s sinking Racing around to come up behind you again. The sun is the same in a relative way but you’re older. Shorter of breath, And one day closer to death

Those who live in the hill country wish for a place on the bay. Those who live on the bay want a place in the Hill Country. All I want is for this last kid to grow the fuck up, the wife to retire, and we can move on.

September 30, 20232 yr Dead trees. damn... I missed real sunsets and the 4 seasons when I lived just north of Houston for more than a decade and a half. West Texas leaves you wanting to see some water, and some mountains, maybe. I hated driving cross country through East Texas and the South in general. Pine trees forever and scenery that seldom changed; generally speaking of course. I am aware this might be unpopular, thus the appropriate venue. Edited September 30, 20232 yr by slorch

Although I did lose 2 in the front and 6 in the back from this year’s heat and drought. They’ll come down this winter.
December 7, 20232 yr Sleeve tattoo's are played out. Even some boomers have them now. It's more rebellious to not have any at all.
December 7, 20232 yr Meatloaf browned/ caramelized on a flat top and served with mashed taters, a veggie, and hot roll is a damned good lunch.

I also think it may be an age thing. Older folks love it. Us youngins? Nope. I've explained to my kid I will never make him eat meatloaf.
December 7, 20232 yr I hated meatloaf when I was growing up. When my mom made it, she would make me sit at the table until I ate it. I thought I was going to puke. Then it started to be OK, and eventually, I got to where I actually liked it. Now, I make a mean meatloaf that both my kids love. I you like meatloaf, try making it with Bison meat. My kids love that.
