re: Round Top antique show is the biggest scam

Is the show the problem, or your wife who continually buys stuff the problem?
I’m fine with her buying stuff it’s the quality of the items. Obviously she has no clue how to check so she’s part of the problem

Round Top antique show is the biggest scam
Posted by thadcastle on 5/10/25 at 7:39 pm
My wife loves to go there multiple times a year and find “treasures”. She always claiming she finds such steals out there. All the items are just old junk that people do a crappy job fixing. Multiple of the items have broken, doors fall off etc. Every time I fix an item I look at how the previous person had worked on it and it’s always the cheapest crappiest fix ever.

I'm going to try and avoid getting my kids into any travel sports. Park ball is good enough.

Googling it I think it might be a yellow crowned night heron but wasn’t sure. It hung out in my yard for quite a while

Twice in last 4 minutes the ball went out of bounds on Houston and they got the ball back because of a bad call. They scored both times. Once a 3 and the other I can’t remember. That’s a minimum of a 5 points difference.

re: Landry shuts down 18 million dollar homeless shelter built for Superbowl

Last week, Landry's administration included the costs of operating the shelter in a $50 million funding request to the federal government to reimburse the state for spending on preparations for Super Bowl LIX and Mardi Gras.
Why is any of this the federal government’s problem? The state needs to get their own stuff under control

Another tipping thread
Posted by thadcastle on 3/10/25 at 2:57 pm
I noticed at a restaurant they gave me precalculated tip options on my bill but the precalculated value included the taxes. I am normally a person that tips 20% of total sale including tax so it didn't really bug me. I got to wondering is this normal? When you click the quick 20% on a hand held device like many restaurants utilize is it normally including the tax?
The only reason I noticed is because my total including tax was $205 and the suggested was $41. So the easy math made it stick out.

Do they heat up pans pretty much instantly? My mom’s stove top take like 10 minutes to get to medium/low. Think I might upgrade her for her birthday

I literally know nothing about cigars. Give me some recommendations and ignore the price I posted

I just looked up houses on Airbnb for that weekend and the highest I could find is $15K/night for a bad arse house with a pool off Magazine. This has be a scam.

Did not know that. I don’t live there anymore. Next time I come in for a game I gotta grab one. Is it as good as the original?

Talking restaurants that have closed down. For me it’s gotta be Chelsea’s grilled cheese and tomato soup. That damn thing was so good
re: Has anyone completely stopped drinking coffee?
Posted by thadcastle on 12/30/24 at 9:37 am
I think I am going to try and make it my New Years resolution. I seem to be super sensitive to caffeine. Jitters, anxiousness, etc. My brain function and mood were definitely significantly better during college when i didn't consume any caffeine.

Each team submits an envelope with a bid for their starting position (for example, own 25). Worse starting position gets the ball first. Each team guaranteed a possession. If still tied it becomes sudden death.

They need to change the college football overtime rules.

Once the the game reaches the 3rd overtime, timeouts should not be allowed. Kirby Smart calling a timeout for every single 2 pt conversion vs GTech was terrible to watch and slowed the game down way too much. I thought we were going to be in for another 45 minute overtime in the SEC championship game if it went to 2 pt conversions.
