re: Mavs went to nba finals then gave away their superstar to the lakers

I absolutely believe the idea that Mavs traded Luka to flagship media market in a handshake agreement so that they’d get to draft Cooper Flagg. The odds were 1.8% they get top pick. They did a few months after Luka trade.

That is a good investment for the new buyer. Good or bad, these kind of investments work out over a long enough period of time

My daughter and SIL live in Roanoke between Ft. Worth and Denton. Seems to me that the growth is in that direction. Argyle, etc.

Correct. The Northlake/Argyle/ west Flower Mound growth is insane.

I live in Southlake and work in Arlington for the last 12 years. To me, it is the same. Arlington was never a sought after place to live. The better areas were always south in Mansfield or north in Grapevine/Colleyville/Southlake.

I am wealthy enough to be able to buy any luxuries that I want within reason. I cannot afford a yacht or whatever but I have never stopped myself for self indulgent purchases. My biggest waste of money on myself is golf at this point in my middle aged life.

I am probably only person here to say this but I thought he was great in Rules of Attraction. That was a movie I loved that is generally reviled.

Friends is pure garbage. It was and is meant for women and gay dudes.

The Wrecking Crew (Prime)

It stars Dave Bautista and Jason Mamoa as half-brothers who avenge their father’s death. I thought it was a really good action movie. The sequence on the highway with the minivan and helicopter was really good.

The comedy was solid and music was solid yacht rock vibe.

Bad Bunny is from Puerto Rico, which is part of the United States. How is that not part of American culture?

re: Do you have more tomboys or girly girls in your family?

Posted by CunningLinguist on 1/30/26 at 8:10 am to cbree88

My wife was a tomboy and so is my daughter. Wife played all sorts of sports and was a college athlete. My daughter is both maybe? Idk. She plays soccer and softball but it is not super competitive about it like my son who is the athlete of the too. My daughter plays like she has an older brother but is obsessed with all things princesses. I feel that is pretty normal for a girl that age.
