I tried to stick out as long as I could, but we really have no choice anymore. I have a child with special needs and it's been a struggle to get him the services he is legally entitled to. Now without the Dept of Education things are only going to get worse.

I wish you well and hope you can get out soon.

I am moving out of Texas. Our house goes on the market in a couple of weeks and once it's sold we'll be heading to New England.

You should read the NOFX autobiography, the open line is...

The first time I drank piss was on a fire escape overlooking downtown Los Angeles.

I replaced all of mine with nest ones a few years ago. Every time one would chirp my son would have a full on meltdown. It was ridiculously expensive, but worth it no more 3 am meltdowns.

A'd blame it on auto-correct, like, but a think it was just me proper dodgy spellin'! - my horrible attempt at a Geordie accent

Sushi

My wife and daughter call her su or more commonly su-su

If she's in trouble then it's Sushi Maki Roll <Our last name>

I call her Stink Butt because she takes the smelliest poops I've ever had the displeasure of smelling and then doesn't bury them in the litter.

Thanks and no. But funny enough my wife is a huge Shakespeare nerd. Like takes a beach vacation and just reads Shakespeare in a lounger to relax nerd. So it's fitting.

Sabrina the Teenager Witch - the one from the 90s. It's super corny but my daughter loves it, so we watch an episode or two after dinner.

I feel for these guys. I'm sure most of them joined this league as a last attempt to make it in the NFL. Sadly the owners know that and will exploit the shit out of them for it. It's the same stuff you see in minor league baseball.

Low pay means most players need an off-season job. Of course it would have to be a job that allows them to take 3-4 months off a year. Plus they have travel expenses. And not to mention putting their bodies on the line for this shot. It's not like college ball where at least they are getting an education. These guys are putting their lively hood on the line for $50,000. They deserve better assurances.

 

Just a little graphite and they are working like they're brand new again.

 

And I used gift cards I received for Christmas to buy it.

 

The road behind my house is lined with bradford pear trees. Their leaves are so big that my pool vacuum cannot suck them up. So once they start falling I need to go out every night and get out what I can with a net and a special leaf vacuum. We had strom come through this week and thankfully the winds knocked the remaining leaves out of the trees. It took an hour and a half but I got every last one out of my pool. Now I can relax until the spring when they sprout and drop their flowers.

 

As a life long Superman fan, who grew up on Christopher Reeve, I've been on the fence about this movie but I think this trailer has sold me.

spoilerFuck yeah, Krypto!

 
 

Giants 3 touchdowns, 1 failed PAT, 2 failed 2 point conversions

Washington 7 field goals

Seriously one of the strangest score summaries I've seen.

I think I'm ready to give vegan a try, but I'm struggling with breakfast ideas. Mostly I'd meal prep egg and bacon burritos or just have some toast with jam.

I used to be a cereal person but after having my gallbladder removed I developed an intolerance to lactose. And I haven't found any good alternatives for milk or cheese that I like, so I've basically cut them out of my diet. Plus most cereal is loaded with sugar, and...

I found out yesterday that I'm prediabetic and my cholesterol is a little high. So, I'm trying to move away from animal products and sugar.

I will occasionally have toast with peanut butter and banana on it, but that's so calorie dense, I only eat it on days I know I'll be doing a lot of physical activities. Most days I sit at a desk for 8-10 hours.

So really the only other thing I can think of is oatmeal. And eating a bowl full of something hot is the last thing I want to do after my morning walk. I'm in Texas so it's hot even when I go out at 5 AM.

I'm looking for ideas that can, preferably, be meal prepped or take less than 5 minutes to make. But I'm open to any ideas. Thanks!
