I wonder how many of these people actually paid for anything and were just there hanging out


I garuntee you maybe 1 person out of every 7-8 people there actually ordered anything.
All depends on if we are in an election year.
Will be definitely getting an EV for the wife when it’s time in the next 1-2 years. It’s a no brainer if you’re just driving around town.

I haven’t said a word to coworkers or my boss. My plan is to just put in a two week notice whenever I’m ready. I’m not in a position for a pension or anything like that, and I don’t owe them anything.

I’ve been in a strip club by association maybe 3 times in my life. The misery and desperation observed is pretty depressing. I couldn’t imagine the scene in a town like Lake Charles.
Around 40ish. Will be retiring at the end of the month at 49 and hoping to get some motivation in life back. Was supposed to retire at the end of the year but can’t make it. The corporate world just sucks any true happiness right out of you.

People wise, Dallas never stops competing with the $30,000 millionaire. Have fun wearing a full suit to drive your 300 series BMW out on a weekend night. Houston seems more down to earth, good hearted people.

If you like freshwater fishing Dallas has more and better lakes. Houston more for offshore. With that said, I’ve caught multiple 10+lbers on Conroe but it’s a grind to fish.

Restaurants, nightlife are the same. Suburbs are the same outside the pretentiousness of Dallas.

Both are major hub airports.

Cowboys play the Texans this week FWIW.

As he should. Too many good decision makers in this world to gamble and hire a bad decision maker.
Pretty solid courses all around. Diamanté is private, but excellent if you can find a way to get on.

I’ve pondered moving there after retirement.

I assumed they took over or rebranded from Goodyear. Seems all the old Goodyear shops are Mavis now.

Either way, buy your own tires online at a discounted rate, then give a local shop a few bucks to use their machine and put them on, balance them yourself.

F*** the MLB

Playoff games not televised. Astros on some 3rd world network.

Can’t wait for AL/NL championship series’ being played at 1:00pm on a weekday.

Will never watch another game.

The Stack swing speed system has helped me tremendously with the driver. Not sure if it’s the training as much as it is the feedback on my swings and learning what is actually fast. Either way, considering all the bullshite you can spend money on, it’s been worth every dime.
The only thing trashier than paying to stay at a casino not in Vegas is pulling an RV to Lake Charles and sleeping in the parking lot of a casino.

Played golf there once and saw a couple of those. At what point does one look in the mirror and realize they need to make some life changes….
I’d imagine 80% of people staying there have comped rooms or on the corporate dime.

The other 20% are complete idiots.

Same could be said for sporting events.

I know a couple guys on here in real life pretty well, and they have zero clue. :lol:

I haven’t taken the key out of my ol’ Tundra in 3-4 years.

Wallet, phone go on the nightstand. Zero change. Haven’t carried cash in prob 10 years.
