re: Houston BBQ - Updated with pic

Agree on terry blacks. The OG is good not great, but all of these new locations around the state leave a lot to be desired, and they're expensive AF.
I'll take a solo Q joint over it every time.
I drug the whole family to Band of Brothers south of Killeen several weeks ago and it was excellent.

re: Number of unmarried young men is surging

Women got what they wanted. Feminism is infused throughout American and Western societies. Young women are on psychiatric meds at high rates. Women are more miserable than they’ve ever been. It turns out having the responsibilities like men have for thousands of years isn’t all fun and games.
Funny story that fits here.
My wife decided to leave the workforce 4 years ago when our first was about to be born. She's an FNP, worked hard to get there too. Had a little bit of sunk cost fallacy, so she found a prn job just to keep her head in the game. Kept that job for an about 2 years working 2 saturdays a month for 5 hours a day.
Well things changes and she was now required to work 1 week day a month. Picked up a random Thursday, I took a day off and took the kids to the zoo. She worked 7 to 5:30, got home after a 40 minute drive fighting traffic and was crying like a baby.
Resigned at 9pm that night.
7-5's dealing with the general public, no thanks, I'll take care of my kids.

I don't shop there because you often give up the manufacturer warranty for their warranty, which has overwhelming bad feedback, but they are legit.

Hopefully they learn to get a job at a different restaurant that doesn't use these tactics.

Have you actually put pen to paper to understand your cashflow?
Start there.
You mention a few poor decisions, look at cashflow, where are you bleeding? Is it the boat or new truck you shouldn't have bought? Figure that out.
The last thing you should sell is your home if you can help it.

re: Can we action this?

If anyone brings up action items in my team I tell them they are in charge of the action from end to end.
I've only had to do it 3-4 times and it works great.

re: Putting an infant down in the crib after they have fallen asleep
Posted by thegreatboudini on 8/9/26 at 5:45 pm to AZTiger7072
Wife sleep trained our kids so well. While it's great because they sleep all night, the downside is they won't sleep anywhere but their bed, and if the doze off elsewhere, zero chance at transferring.
So I have no tips for you.

Men, good evening.
I come looking for guidance. I host a bourbon club for my neighborhood. This past week we did on, and surprisingly for the first time also included cigars.
I had a My Father Connecticut 6.5x54. It was excellent while drinking some rum and bourbon through the evening.
My problem is it was a big cigar. I seem to think I'd prefer something half that size. Am I wrong? Feel free to tell me I'm wrong.
Regardless of if I'm wrong, any suggestion similar to that?

re: Budgets: Do you have one? If Y, do you do a mid year analysis of your spending?
Posted by thegreatboudini on 8/2/26 at 8:59 am to Everyday Is Saturday
Yes. I don't do mid year analysis per se but do keep track of MoM trends. If I see 3 spikes in a row I'll dig in and evaluate. Rebalance everything the first of the year.
I've got 3 very young kids and with that comes some minor curve balls I'm learning as we go.

My problem is I go back to Avoyelles parish every year. Last thing I need is to be driving in with my kids and get pulled over for speeding and go to jail because I ignored a jury summons.
