[quote]If I saw Bernie Madoff (just an example, I am well aware that he is dead now) walking down the sidewalk, I wouldn't be afraid he was going to rob and kill me.[/quote] But he did rob people, lots of people for lots of money. I’m hearing Woodie Guthrie in my head. Great lyrics. “Yes, a...
I assume it’s just like any other insurance. Companies offer it because they will come out ahead in the long run. So just like any other insurance, if you can afford to self-insure, you should. If it’s going to cause you significant financial strain if your water heater goes out, maybe you want the ...
[quote]Lake Beau Pre vibes [/quote] I have no idea what that means. Is Lake Beau Pre zoned to good schools and affordable? If so, I agree....
Move? I’m not saying $75,000 is a lot of money, but here is a house in a suburb of Houston zoned to some of the best public schools in the state for under $300k. If you married someone making the same amount, you could raise a family here. [link=(https://s.hartech.io/Ufp5WsmPP7o)]LINK[/link]...
[quote]as a high school teacher I would say this is not true[/quote] See Table 1 (page 72). They party less pretty much across the board. Also, the 90s were lit. [link=(https://monitoringthefuture.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/mtfoverview2022.pdf)]Monitoring the Future [/link]...
[quote]Considerably less. If they are drinking alcohol then that means they’re actually socializing which does not exist anymore.[/quote] This x 1,000. They drink less, use drugs less, and have sex less. Sounds good on paper until you realize the reason is that they aren’t going out anymore. They...
[quote]Chocolate city FTW[/quote] When asked to explain his chocolate city comment after it was blowing up in the news, this was his response. "How do you make chocolate? You take dark chocolate, you mix it with white milk and it becomes a delicious drink. That's the chocolate I'm talking about."...
[quote]Like everything else in fashion it goes in and out. Men's jewelry except maybe cufflinks and watches have been out quite a while. [/quote] My dad in his 70s is a country boy and retired farmer. He’s worn a simple gold chain for as long as I can remember. Fashion trends go in and out. Wear ...
Basically typical Jomboy stuff. He critiques the brother’s reaction time and his form jumping over the table. Gives props to one ref who keeps things nice and neat on the table despite two people jumping over it. shite like that....
Love this guy’s breakdowns. He doesn’t typically pick sides, and you usually see footage you otherwise missed. His in depth analysis of the spectators always cracks me up. [link=(https://youtu.be/_z5xvYPCj-8?si=cThKTLV_DLei1o9M)]LINK[/link]...
We need other servers/former servers to chime in. The not-so-nice places I worked weren’t exactly shite holes, they just weren’t expensive. This was Louisiana in the early 2000’s. I’d love to hear things have changed because I’m still grossed out from some of the stuff that I saw 20 years later....

re: Health related anxiety

Posted by pelicanpride on 3/9/24 at 11:33 pm
Do you ever notice that you feel anxious, but you don’t know why? Then your brain starts scanning for something to explain the anxiety. It will eventually attach to something, and that thing appears to become the source of your anxiety. But if you are really cognizant of what is going on, sometimes ...
In college, I worked a couple of years as a waitress. One place was a really nice restaurant. The others weren’t. In the back, it made no difference. NEVER BE RUDE TO THE PEOPLE HANDLING YOUR FOOD. I can’t believe the shite I saw. I was literally the only person who refused to defile the food of rude...
[quote]By decline you mean seeing minorities about town? Basically. Well except for Asians. Don’t blame me for acknowledging reality.[/quote] Speaking of Asians, Sugar Land has made it more or less impossible to build new apartments. I guess that means that area will do fine?...
[quote]Oh yeah Trump was so bad. Why don’t you like Trump ?[/quote] I actually liked many of Trump’s policies. The constant circus surrounding him was annoying, but some of that was the left overreacting to every damn thing. Lying about the election being stolen when he wasn’t able to provide a...
I’ve never been to India, but I do know quite a few people from India who are now US citizens. They teach their kids good values and make good neighbors....
[quote]These people rape at record numbers, live in filth, stink, are rude, and the ones that do get educated either use it to come here and suck up jobs or to scam elderly people online.[/quote] There are quite a few Indian American families where I live. Their kids are respectful and hard worki...
[quote]Tell him to knock it off, then wonder why school admins are wasting school time and resources on such nonsense.[/quote] Same. My 8-year-old got in trouble for making a gun sign at another kid. They got me on the phone to tell me how serious it was. I could understand if he were old enough ...
If you and your wife were both carriers for cystic fibrosis, you could use IVF to test the embryos and select one without the disease. That can be done for many, many diseases. If this bothers you so much that you are considering using someone else’s sperm, you should at least find out the name of t...
[quote]What is the vision issue? Inherited retinal disease that has been diagnosed? Honestly not 100% sure.[/quote] You don’t even know the name of retinal disease? That means that you have zero understanding of your probability of passing it on. IVF clinics now have the ability to screen em...
