Not my proudest fap.
I don’t. But my wife does. It’s called my office.

Mine is exactly the same as last year.

As a home schooler back before it was cool (1980s), I can sympathize with folks wanting to let them participate in high school ball. Would have been great to have that as even a possibility back then.

quote:Dang, that brings back memories of my childhood. That was the Christmas that we moved my grandparents to somewhere out in BFE New Mexico. Finally got them out there, unloaded, and started heading home.Whatever night that game was played, we stopped and spent the night at a Motel 6 somewhere in west Texas.
My dad was on Bill’s staff. We had to spend Christmas on Memphis and it sucked!
They were a super economy motel back in those days. It was like $0.25 to have black and white TV or $1.00 to watch in color. Since the Tigers were playing, we splurged on color TV. :nana:
Honestly, it was the only time in my 5+ decades that I was ever in a hotel/motel without free TV. IIRC, that Motel 6 had TVs which required a cartridge to turn on, and the front desk would rent you one for either B&W or color, depending on your budget.

May be around 4-H Club overpass. I was on River Road in DS this AM, and DSPD were flagging traffic at the 4-H Club and Florida intersection, not letting anyone go towards I-12. And, yeah, traffic was backed up already at 8:15.
re: Talk about Bannon stating blankly that Trump will serve a 3rd term.

quote:Bannon is trolling. BUT, if there were a workaround, it would have to be along the lines of parsing the language of the 22nd Amendment:
Just curious as to peoples thoughts now.
quote:There's a two-election limit, and an implied ten year limit (4+4+2). So, DJT could handoff to JD Vance just before the start of year 3 (at 1 year, 364 days) and get around the ten year limit. There would still be a limit on being elected a third time, so the argument would have to be that the Amendment actually relates to consecutive years/terms and not to a person's entire career. Again, my belief is that Bannon is just trolling.
No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than once. ...
Irregardless, as Frank Maraist used to say, and just for funsies, I would think the plan would be to swap the ticket and have Vance run for POTUS and Trump for Veep. Couple that with either an implied or express promise to have Vance step aside and allow DJT to take back over, and that would get a third DJT administration.

$8.25 for same brick where I live.

El Chicos. They had a queso dip that I’ve tried unsuccessfully to replicate for years. Probably not as good as I remember, but nostalgia is a helluva drug.
Gonna be a no from me, Dawg

I’ve got a tip for her.
IMO, when (not if) the NFL goes to 18 games, it may somewhat reset the benchmarks in relation to the past. IIRC, they've played a 16 game regular season since at least the early 80's. Before that was 14, so it's not like they've added a whole bunch more playing time--from 14 to 17 games.
Sort of the same story for the NCAA. Eleven games in a regular season in my childhood (early 80's). Twelve games now. Of course, we've added like 4 more championship games, but I'm not sure those count in official statistics.

Working in California a long time ago I bought a very nice blazer for like $7 from Goodwill.
We were living out of a suitcase, working on a criminal case. It was supposed to be a fact finding trip, but we ended up needing to appear in court. Freaked out thinking I was gonna have to pay premium dollars to get a suit. Saw this place near our local coffee shop and ended up with a blazer and tie for under $10. Sent it back home via our courier who made the trip on a train. He was afraid to fly, but it worked out because he could haul all our files (and my jacket) on the train. Blazer hung in my office as an emergency backup until I got too fat. :wah:

re: Where were you on 9/11/01?

Law school. Second year. No class that AM. Had planned to work a few hours in my law clerk position before afternoon classes, but ended up oversleeping. Awoke and turned on TV to see pandemonium. Don’t exactly recall where it was in the sequence of events, but I got dressed and headed into the office. Once there, everyone was assembled outside my office watching the only TV. Eventually got word that classes were cancelled, so I went back home and just huddled up with my new wife.
We had just started visiting Parkview Baptist a few weeks earlier. We would sit in the back. Unrelated, we usually sat behind Vernon Roger. Anyway, attendance for the early service was usually sparse. I remember going back the following Sunday, and it was packed.
