I responded to 9/11. 18 YO kid who'd just moved across the country, still a probie on my first FD on Long Island.

re: Why don't you do Christmas?

I didn’t have Christmas growing up. No gifts. No tree. Just a normal day.

My parents would tell you that Christmas was a secular holiday and had nothing to do with Christ and that we could celebrate Christ everyday.

I grew up in a cult that forbids celebrating all holidays, birthdays, etc. I didn't wake up and get out until my mid-30s. I didn't start doing any holiday stuff until I met my wife. The first times I wrapped and opened presents, it was very awkward and I still felt like I was doing something wrong.

I'd never even had a birthday party until she planned a surprise at my fire station for my 40th.

We have a 3 year old daughter that loves the lights, and I find myself doing more around the house and ranch just to see her enjoy it. For the "it's commercialized and you're only doing it for the kids" crowd, so what. I've missed out on enough. My wife and kids don't have to miss out because I was raised in a brainwashing cult.

Thanks for the recommendations! I'm down for meeting up if anybody is going to the game.

Where should we go to catch the Texas-aTm game Friday night? Any good local sports bars with some pool tables?

Where are you staying at? Did you happen to get a room at the Noun?

No, I booked a cheap hotel room because of the uncertainty with the pregnancy. We haven't had the best of luck previously, and I'll leave it at that. If the trip wasn't gonna happen, I didn't want to spend a lot or be worrying about refunds. We're still only a couple of miles from campus corner.

I like em so much I married one. This will be her first LSU game.

We're in the DFW area so it's a short trip for us, and our first weekend away since having baby #2 back in the summer.

That sucks about your tailgate! I've been to a bunch of RRSs and an Oklahoma bowl game in San Antonio when they played Oregon not too long ago. We've had good times in the parking lot at the State Fair, but we usually set up our own full blown tailgate there.

Thanks for the info on where to go to stay away from the canned corporate spots. If you've ever been to a Texas home game, that's all there is and it's the worst place for pregaming. Texas baseball has better tailgating than the football games.

I'm gonna take my wife out to Cowboys Friday night, so I'm hoping we don't get an 11AM kick :lol:

Getting down to the nitty gritty here. I've had tickets and hotel booked for months. Our baby girl is healthy, my wife is healthy, and we're a full go for a weekend getaway after the holiday.

It's time for specifics! Let me know how to get to your tailgate, what to bring, and what to expect. :cheers: to a great win over Tennessee tonight, and :cheers: to a great LSU-OU game to end the season!

Home invasions are my nightmare

There isn't a spot in my house without a gun hidden within 5 feet of it. Every room, every closet, even the kitchen pantry. We also have a 100 lbs German shepherd.

I'm more worried about a home invasion by termites than this.

Where do you think they get the info from?

I own a contracting company in Texas. My phone number and email address are required to be public. I get 4-6 spam calls an hour. I had 10 identical recorded voicemails from 10 different numbers in one day earlier this week.

How tf these robocalls aren't illegal is beyond me.

Texas loses this or the following week in the RRR. Been telling my TX friends this for a minute but they just laugh it off because "we beat both them teams last year"
