Anyone know if you can still buy general admissions tickets at the stadium today? They're sold out online, but I wonder if that's just because the first game already started.

Underrated as a band? Your thoughts.

For those of you who have taken the plunge, which method is better? Waxing seems like it wood hurt butt I think the quality is better. Of coarse having to constantly repeat sux. I hear the laser is painful and not as good, although that info mainly comes from chicks. Anywho lemme know my pube-free hosses.

4.31. Let’s see how close I am. Damn commercial.

Ran a 4.87 in the 40 at the combine. He will go in the top 15-20 in the draft. $$$

We've all read or heard the tale of the ugly duckling, by Hans Christian Andersen. Poor little guy wasn't really ugly at all, but being a swan surrounded by ducks, he certainly looked different. The ducks subjected him to such ridicule and abuse that when he learned to fly, he took off. He wandered around looking for a place to call home, unaware that he was growing up and changing. Eventually he encounters a group of swans on a lake, and decides to join them. As he swims out to them, he sees his reflection in the water, and realizes that he too is a swan. They take him in, and at last he's found a home.

Most of us have, at one time or another, been on both sides of this story. There have been times when we have felt very different from those around us, when we just didn't "fit in," and we went through a period of being shunned and becoming isolated. Or maybe we were part of the group that shunned someone else just because s/he wasn't like us. But over time, we change, as do the people around us, and while we may not all be swans, we all have value. We all need to be loved.

For this day, how can I embrace the differences I see in myself, and in others?

Blessings, lads and lasses.

Dedicated to Allen Jones, who asked for the same forgiveness he extended to others.

I am in New Orleans for 6 months for work. I had read about this food truck and decided I would go try it. It’s Nola Baaaby food truck. Outstanding

HAPPY TEXAS INDEPENDENCE DAY, Y'ALL!

Yessirree, it is a great day! As John Steinbeck put it, "Texas is a state of mind. Texas is an obsession. Above all, Texas is a nation in every sense of the word." Celebrate as you will, but whatever you do today, do not forget the value of freedom. It comes at great cost. "Victory or Death" as Travis put it.

What does that mean for each of us in our lives? To the person fighting addiction, the Travis quote is all too real, too literal. You either win this battle or you lose your life, and everything else along with it. We all have battles we need to win, things over which we must declare our independence, if we are to become the person our Maker had in mind.

Today, I pray that as brave Texans, we strive to declare our independence from all that is holding us back. Put 'em in the rearview mirror.

Blessings lads and lasses,

Is it appropriate to honk when the car ahead of you does not move, when it’s time to move?

I say yes. Even at a private school that our daughter attends!

Helps to have low friends in high places.

“Reid was driving his pickup truck near Arrowhead Stadium on Feb. 4, 2021, when he struck two vehicles that had stopped along the side of the highway. He had a blood alcohol content of 0.113 and was driving 84 mph in a 65 mph zone at the time of the incident, according to court documents.

Ariel Young, who was 5 years old at the time, was severely injured in the crash. She suffered "life-threatening injuries" and a "severe traumatic brain injury, a parietal fracture, brain contusions and subdural hematomas," according to court documents.“

“Reid has previously served prison time over a driving-related incident.

He pleaded guilty to simple assault and flashing a gun at another driver in a road rage incident in 2007, according to Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, court records, and served prison time. While in prison, he also pleaded guilty to a charge of driving under the influence of a controlled substance from a separate incident, according to court documents.“

I know this is half the board right now…

Any hacks to get rid of a mold smell?

Doesn't? I'm flipping channels and see the OU women's gymnastics team in a meet against Michigan. Got to thinking they also have men's wrestling and probably some others we don't. Is there something that the Horns offer that they don't? Hope everyone has a great weekend! Hook'em

My 12 year old son fractured his wrist in his basketball game last night. It is a small buckle fracture in his non shooting hand, 3-5 weeks in a splint.

Question: Today is the league championship game. He wants to win this more than anything. He’s got a splint. If we wrap it too, could he play the game without risk of further injury? In other words, with the splint in place, is this more of a pain tolerance issue?

If there is true risk of further injury, I won’t let him play. If not, I’m gonna let him man up and go for it.

Looking to get Mastiff in the next few months. Anyone have any recommendations for breeders in Texas?

You love to see it.

The University of Florida said it is dismissing all DEI staff, closing its DEI office and halting DEI contracts with outside vendors. The school also announced the laid-off staff would get 12 weeks of severance, and that the $5 million saved from the cost of DEI would go to a “faculty recruitment fund.” That’s a wrap, folks.

What a crazy story. A French bulldog was stolen from a dog trainer at gun point. We used the same trainer at the same park here in San Antonio to train our golden retriever and my son’s golden retriever. I can’t imagine having someone steal my dog.
Hope they find the dog and catch the thieves.

Underated as a martyr. Your thoughts.

Maybe not quite as eloquent as what came out of Philadelphia in 1776, but not bad for a bunch of “frontier ruffians”:

The Unanimous Declaration of Independence made by the Delegates of the People of Texas in General Convention at the town of Washington on the 2nd day of March 1836.​

As usual - Thank you all for your service!

And @A-10HORN - Although it's not a A-10 Warthog, this MIGHT have some potential!
