re: What grinds my gears regarding Memorial Day.
Posted by RebelSquared on 5/26/25 at 1:07 pm
Most of us veterans served with at least one fellow veteran who made the ultimate sacrifice in addition to family members and the generations of others who served before us. It makes me uncomfortable when people thank me on Memorial Day. But I am glad they are at least acknowledging veterans in general and not just asking me what I am doing for the long weekend. Most of the time I just say "You're welcome" but sometimes I do a little educating depending on the circumstances.

Men had testosterone back then. They didn't buy facial creams from Ulta or use color in the hair.
And women used Ponds Cold cream not Botox and fillers. Maturing wasn't something people feared back then. Elders were respected. We are living in a time of perpetual adolescence. The smoking and other things are all valid but if you took those same people and applied all the youth chasing measures folks use today they would've looked younger too.

re: George Strait is 73 today.

Like lots of women I had a huge crush on George back in the day. I've seen him play in lots of places big and small. Best was at the Las Vegas Hilton during NFR early 90s when his "Livin It Up" album was big. My ex was a team roper, and we went to one of George's roping events. It was cool to see that side of King George.

Agree
I was a little kid when they launched and remember being fascinated by it all.
"The Farthest" documentary did a really good job of telling the story including the music they chose for the soundtrack.

Okay good that you are with someone who has similar beliefs about money. I guess you are just interested in general with these "how much does your lady friend spend" threads.
I don't judge other women if purses or beauty products make them happy and they are willing to spend hundreds if not thousands on them. I am just not wired that way. Those things are just utilitarian to me. Sometimes I wish i could buy me some happiness. I wish a $50 lipstick, or a $500 purse made me happy. What I value money can't buy and not always easy to obtain like a purse is. So, some days I envy those people who can buy their joy.

Didn't you start a similar thread about beauty products?
Maybe you have a "wife / girlfriend / lady friend" who is costing you a ton of money and are trying to get sense of what is "normal" or average? There is none.
All women are different. Some are more practical. Not all women love to shop and spend a ton of money on these things. I am a woman. I don't. My daughter does. Expensive purses mean nothing to me.

re: A buddy and his wife just had a newborn. What to get the kid?
Posted by RebelSquared on 5/18/25 at 7:03 am
A gift card (WM, Target, etc) for all of the stuff they didn't realize they would need until after the baby was born. And with each kid it is different. babies have their preferences too. At the very least they can use it for diapers.
If you don't like the GC idea, then baby pjs/tshirts/onesies but for older than newborn age like 6-9 mos. People tend to give a ton of newborn clothes that they grow out of quickly but none for the next stages.
No one needs another stuffed animal or blanket. Someone suggested medicines but that is too personal. Every parent has their own ideas about that.

Not going to get into a debate with you. I have friends and family who teach in several states. Just going by what they tell me from first-hand experience.

Yep and you are correct Houston suburbs too.
My daughter is a teacher in a "good" district in a Houston burb.
Texas does not treat teachers well.
Move to Texas for other things if you want to but not the schools.

It is so weird how limp he looks as he is tumbling over and over before he hits. Like a ragdoll. Maybe that is normal for falls of that height? I would've guessed the body would tense up.

Yeah me either. The story of a young attractive woman with a rich old man is not new or interesting. The arrangement typically is young woman gets money, material things, maybe a job and usually behind the scenes. But running a man's life in public when he was previously known to be a control freak in the NFL? It is the bizarre aspect that is generating all of this interest now.

Why did she tell Bill to “not answer that question”. If they met on a plane, big deal. Just answer and move on
Exactly. Reacting so psychotically when asked and not calmly sticking with the plane story raised a bunch of suspicions. Saw somewhere that the CBS people wouldn't have released that part of the video (they get "not going answer that" all of the time) except for her extreme behavior. If he was there only to discuss his book why did she have to be there? They did this to themselves and are now blaming others.
Won't be surprised if people who know her don't start talking. Especially now that she has worked so hard to be a news story.
His statement didn't help. lol Met her in 2021? yikes she was 19? 20?
Why volunteer that? Wasn't he still in a relationship with the blonde then?
Saw Ross Tucker interviewed on Dan Patrick earlier and when asked how bad a control freak BB was when he played for him, he said on a scale of 1-10 BB was a 20.
The whole thing is just bizarre. Even him going to coach for UNC when it seemed like he had a good retirement TV gig, starts the UNC job, but then not acting like the coach we all saw on tv for so many years. How much time does the GF allot for him to actually coach? Between book tour and other PR stuff she's making him do how much time is he spending on his new team?

re: Why do so many teenagers not care about getting their drivers license anymore?
Posted by RebelSquared on 4/29/25 at 10:32 am
Although I have friends with kids who are late 20s and still not driving, NOT all kids today are this way.
There are plenty of kids excited to get their license asap.
My kids are in their 20s now but both of them got permits at 15 and their license on their birthdays. Neither of them could wait. They drove to high school, their jobs and all their extracurricular and sports activities. All of their friends were the same way, and my niece and nephew are late teens and driving.
