re: Are goods shortages really coming in the next 2-4 weeks due to Tariffs/halted shipments?

Trump claimed that Obama was not a citizen and wanted to see the birth certificate. I claim that Trump does not have a degree and I want to see all of his college records including grades to verify that he did indeed graduate. Oh wait a minute, he already took care of that by threatening lawsuits against anyone releasing his grades. Never mind.

re: Can a dude drive a Honda CRV?
Posted by Purplehaze on 4/27/25 at 1:02 pm
Since 2007, I have owned 2 different Honda CRVs. Drive is comfortable, can easily haul 3 60 pound dogs at the same time, averages 24 mph and other than normal maintenance like replacing tires, battery and oil changes, zero dollars spent on repairs. If I lost the one I am driving now, I would get another one just like it.

I remember when the Republicans were all upset because Obama had the nerve to wear a tan suit.

Actually there were 4 Union casualties but it happened during a salute after the surrender when a Union cannon burst, killing 1 and wounding 3.

Those who read this board are not playing at a high school level. But you have a chance to get a personal experience. Become an umpire, go through a season in girls 16 and up or high school. Come back and describe it after doing it for one year.

If you want to really know what it is like, become an umpire. Softball pitchers throw from a distance of 45 feet. Baseball pitchers throw from a distance of 60 feet, 6 inches. Once you get back there, you realize softball is scarier and you have all the equipment to protect you. Softball pitchers have to react 25% faster than baseball pitchers. But if you really want to know what it is like, get out there and play pitcher in women's or men's fast pitch softball. You will come to know fear.
re: Any Houston area folks have an absurd property tax appraisal?
Posted by Purplehaze on 4/22/25 at 11:05 pm
That is due to your lack of knowledge as to how the whole appraisal game is played. I also live in Spring in Montgomery County. Do yourself a favor. Go to OWNWELL.COM. Sign up with them. They handle your property tax appraisal appeals. The fee is 25% of tax savings. If nothing saved then no fee. All done via their website.

re: Posters that have lost multiple parents (yours or in-laws)... a question
Posted by Purplehaze on 4/14/25 at 12:46 pm
I am 75. My wife and I have both paid for a cremation plan. My son has access to our document safe. In there is a list of what to do and who to contact along with account numbers and passwords. He is also the beneficiary and signee on all our accounts. The will is in there. His only chores are to take care of our 3 dogs and then fly to Oahu and spread my ashes at the Pali lookout. It has a beautiful view of the Pacific and i want to have that view for eternity. Burial just means you are stuck next to someone that might not have liked in real life and I do not want to be stuck near some a-hole for eternity.
All I can add is that when you speak to your parents, tape the conversation. If there is more than one beneficiary then get your parents to designate in writing who gets what possession after they die.

Retired with a lot of time to screw with them. I tell them I know this is Dominos and I want to know where is my pizza. Or I listen to them for maybe 2 seconds and I hit one of the numbers on the dial. Two seconds more and I hit 2 numbers then hit a bunch more. If it is a female, I ask about their nipples and tell them I am watching porn. Then I announce that I am coming. As I said, bored and just like to screw with them.

re: What kids are learning in college now
Posted by Purplehaze on 3/12/25 at 6:50 pm
Born in 1949 and raised in Kaplan, LA. In the 1950's, there were some kids with Cajun French parents and they were forced to learn English and taught that Cajun French was only spoken by ignorant people.
The schools for American Indians from 1880's on punished the kids if they did not speak English or accept American customs. If you don't believe Google, just watch the series 1923.
There is not a problem in my opinion if English is encouraged as a second language. But forcing English to be learned and discouraging or using corporal punishment when you use your native language as used by your family unit is a form of cultural genocide.

re: Why are Texas drivers so stupid?
Posted by Purplehaze on 3/8/25 at 9:27 pm
I moved from BR to the Spring/Woodlands area 30 years ago. Basically, Texas drivers just drive more aggressively. You just learn to adapt and always be prepared for someone to do something stupid.
Also, avoid the left 2 lanes and just take your time.

CFB, anyone have information on going rate for players by position?

Someone asked a similar question about basketball. Curious as to pay ranges by position.

Ever ask yourself why they did not abandon the Alamo? No horses.
Go back to December of the previous year. San Antonio and the Alamo had just been surrendered by General Martin De Cos. Dr. James Grant came up with the idea to capture Matamoros. On Dec. 30, 1835, Grant took 200 men from the rebels along with most of the supplies and men on a filibustering expedition to capture Matamoros. On January 4, 1836, Colonel James Neil reported that he had 104 men but they lacked food and clothing.
