It's really incredible. I put $4k into nVidia stock in 2017 and the same amount in MSFT. Both of them could lose 90% of their value right now and I think I'd still be ahead of what I put in.
Yes, they are strangely "clear" for sunglasses. I don't see many like them in my google searches. I believe they are Aviators and further discussion has revealed they may be late as new as early 2000's. Just not sure. Not sure where to find info on old sunglasses. They are in very good condition.
Hi AntiqueTiger, I have these likely 1980's Ray Ban Aviators that we inherited from in-laws. I can't seem to find much info on how to identify them. They have been sitting in storage for a long time, so I'm pretty sure they are legit, not fakes. Any thoughts on how to identify and price?



This is so cool. You can make it say either one depending on which one you are expecting to hear. You can also mix them! Don't look at the words, but think "Green storm" or "Brain Needle" and that's what you'll hear.
Link to the City of Pearland info on the burial: LINK
The funeral is in the suburb of Pearland where I live (south of Houston).
Like it or not, the leadership of CFA operate their business on the morality and ethics of the Bible. Below is the Bible's ethic on work, and this no doubt contributes to the culture that they have built, which now attracts like minded people to them:

quote:

Colossians 3:23-24
23 And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men, 24 knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for[a] you serve the Lord Christ.

Buy a $30 pass for Lot 407 across from the Vet School. Easy to get out going north on River Road. lsutix.net

Thanks, would I be guaranteed a spot at 5:00 if I purchased a pass? I've seen people complaining about spots all being gone when arriving late.

Help - Parking Recs for Saturday

Posted by Melleaux Tiger on 11/19/19 at 2:33 pm
Hey all, need some advice. We plan on making our first game in Tiger Stadium in a couple years. Typically, we plan on getting to campus with plenty of time and our go-to parking is usually the Kirby Smith area. However, we won't be able to make it to campus until around 5:00 for the 6pm kickoff. What's my best option for parking at that time, given the opponent? Will I be able to find anything around Kirby Smith (it's usually the quickest route off campus for where we are headed)? I don't mind paying for parking as long as it doesn't require walking through the hood to get to campus. Thanks in advance!

I think it was. Watch the link. It's hard to tell, but seems like the ball is over the cylinder while he slaps the boards.
Therefore, defensive interference before the offensive interference call. It probably was offensive goal tending, but it shouldn't matter after the Kentucky player jarred the goal.

Watch this view, goal clearly moves: LINK

I have Ankylosing Spondylitis, same family of diseases. Basically, inflammation run amok in your body because your immune system is overreacting to something. What that something is, is what they haven't truly figured out yet. With these, it seems to be that your are predisposed (genetically) to getting them and something triggers it during your lifetime - might be an illness, an injury, or exposure to something. It's like a switch is flipped and the inflammation starts to take over. With mine, it ultimately causes fusion of your major core joints - sacroiliac, spine, neck.

I was on oral anti-inflammatories for years until they finally gave me an ulcer, then started to affect my kidney function. At that point, switched to a biologic (Simponi, same general class as Humira) and it's worked great for 5+ years or so. While Humira I think is a once a week or every two-week injection, Simponi is a once a month. You do it at home with a pen-type applicator. It's worked great so far, but who knows the long-term effects. Better than letting the disease ravage me or killing myself with anti-inflammatory meds. Such is life! We all have our obstacles and mine could be so much worse! :dude:

Sam's had these for $6.99 a pound right before Valentine's Day. Picked up 2 for about 30 bucks. Reverse sear from the oven to the grill. Most unbelievable steak I've ever cooked. That was the first time I've seen them at Sam's. Hope it's a regular occurrence now!

re: What happens when we die?

Posted by Melleaux Tiger on 8/31/16 at 1:10 pm to
For those who believe in a creator (as I do), you have to ask the question why have we been created. Granted we can't know the mind of God, but I don't think He would create us to perform some ambiguous test of how many 'good' points you can collect while you are on earth. I think the Bible provides the best answer as to why we have been created and it's for us to find complete and total joy in Him alone and nothing else.

That is what our challenge in this life is. If we are going to live for eternity, then we must be completely satisfied in Him and not in the world or anything we can put before Him. He gives us the freedom to choose Him or reject Him in this life so that we are not forced to love him for eternity. If we had no choice, we would be robots. He has created the world in the one and only way that we could ever have true free will. He has given us signs of His presence through natural revelation (think about the precise nature of the physical universe and its laws) as well as spiritual revelation through scripture and Christ. He has given us enough knowledge of Himself to desire Him if we want to and enough obscurity that we can reject Him if we choose to.

Downplay or minimize the impact of the question of why we are here all you want, but it is the fundamental question in each of our lives and how you answer it should drive everything that you do in your life.

Obama administration issues transgender bathroom mandate to all public schools
quote:

Where were transgenders using the bathroom before all of this?
Whichever bathroom they wanted to. Which is why there was a massive outbreak of transgender sex crimes in the past few years.

oh wait that never happened


This argument that people keep making about transgenders committing sex crimes COMPLETELY misses the point. The problem is that once this is all in effect, anyone who tries to stop a man from going into a woman's restroom will now be legally obligated to allow that to happen. The true sex offenders (the majority would not be transgenders) now have license to enter women's restrooms without someone being able to question or stop them. You think that's a good idea?
@DavidTheGnome just annihilated click bait sites!!!! #9 made me bleed out of my anus.
Exactly, the state promotes (or should promote) social constructs that benefit us as a society. Studies continue to show (not religious ones either) a clear psychological benefit to children being raised in a household with a mother and a father rather than two same-sex parents. See here: LINK
