Did you learn nothing from the Covid farce?

It's not about western comforts, but theology. Christians/Jews do NOT worship the same God as Allah.
The Allah of the Quran is highly capricious and no Muslim has confidence they will reach paradise.
The closest thing to "assurance of salvation" is jihad death.
Contrast that with the Bible. Jesus says "no one can take them out of My hand" and John writes his books "so you may know you have eternal life." There's liberty in that, which keeps Christians from thinking they have to bomb a subway or some crap. We know we have a God who went to such great lengths to save us, He didn't leave it up to us to perform some twisted checklist.

Been building a homemade Gaga Ball pit for my oldest daughters the last few days. Today I got my 8 year old girl out there to help me construct & paint it. Was a lot of fun working together!
Lived in the Friendswood/Pearland area for 6 years. Absolutely loved it. Amazing people, plenty to do, great for kids... Only moved back a couple years ago because all our family is in Baton Rouge.
League City recently has started growing leaps and bounds. Everything is still pretty fresh. Santa Fe and Dickinson area is on the fringe of that growth.
I miss it. Great church. HEB. So great.

We have a big extended family. We do get-togethers with grandparents, aunts and uncles, cousins and cousins' kids, so most holidays are a mini reunion. As typical a couple Christmases back, we had about 9 families spanning 4 generations all there for gumbo and white elephant.
One family brings a neighbor to the party. Friends of the family are always welcome. She's 19, attractive with dark hair. Pretty quiet, but seemed to have a good sense of humor.
A few months later, we find out the uncle (like 67 years old) has been cheating with neighbor girl. Leaves his wife of 30+ years for this girl, and in turn shuns his kids and his grandchildren. Undefeated...
I had made the comment as soon as I heard, that this girl might have daddy issues, but there's no way she was the first one he had cheated with. A dog chasing cars might catch one, but I doubt the first one it catches is a corvette... Maybe a mail truck or something...
Then the news spills that in getting with the neighbor girl, he broke off a 9-year affair going with his best friend's wife. Childhood buddy he had grown up with, and he's double crossing him.
Somehow, the uncle still feels like a victim when confronted about this relationship. If sociopathic narcissism had a portrait...

My Sauce: Read Between the Lights
Posted by Huck Finn on 11/21/25 at 9:45 pm
Driving past the old Shaw building (or CB&I or B&R, whatever it is now) tonight, the accent lights at the top were alternating purple / gold as they often do during football/baseball season.
But there were two lights to the right that didn't match. One was red & the other blue.
Clearly, this double rainbow is a nod from someone closely tied to the coaching search.
Confirmed - Kiffin's inbound!

It’s OTC in that you don’t need a doctor’s script to purchase but there is a process to buy that will piss off anyone who is expecting to grab it off the shelf.
Can you expound on this?
I believe this is probably what I would like more information about.

Have you tried routine, daily exercise, sweating, and eating a clean/healthy diet?
You're an idiot, and you don't know me.
Actually yes to all that. I've really only gotten a cold 2 times in 5 years, so my diet, exercise, food and vitamin are working pretty well. Thanks for your concern.
Back on topic, I asked a pretty simple question about how to obtain something that is legal, harmless, cheap and potentially beneficial.
If you have an answer about what "over the counter" is supposed to mean (for any medication) that would be appreciated.
I legit didn't know if I was missing a step and did something wrong, or if Walmart is still living under the order of Fauci.

Well I'm part horse, so...
I paid attention during covid. There were countries where Ivermectin was taken as a viral prophylactic and it was highly effective.
It comes in pill form, when it's not from Tractor Supply.

Is Ivermectin OTC in Louisiana?
Posted by Huck Finn on 10/23/25 at 5:56 am
Was picking up a few things at Walmart the other day and decided to try getting Ivermectin OTC since I thought that had become legal back in June.
The lady kind of rolled her eyes, went to the back then told me "we don't know how to do that."
I said, "isn't it over the counter?"
- "Yeah but the pharmacist still has to write you a prescription for it. Walmart doesn't do that yet."
This sound right to y'all?
Did I do something wrong here? I thought I had bought OTC cough medicine before and it wasn't a prescription, just a license check to make sure I wasn't Walter White.

Bonus tip: fly Spirit airlines. Their pilots don't usually rely on air traffic control anyway. Business as usual.
Flew twice this last week.

re: Epic Universe
Posted by Huck Finn on 10/13/25 at 9:58 am to Tiger4travel
Did Epic Universe yesterday.
Absolutely incredible! I swear the environments are way more immersive than Disney.
Seems like Disney generally has a "theme" for their zones/rides, where Epic creates a world full of scale and detail that are unrivaled.
Only thing close in Disney might be the star wars zone in Hollywood studios or Avatar ride in epcot, but that's a smaller scale.
Epic Frankenstein ride is basically the equivalent of the "Rise of the resistance" star wars ride, and it's one of the lower wait times. Epic basically has twice the number of top shelf rides of any of the Disney parks.
No park compared, unless you've got young daughters that need the princess experience of magic Kingdom.
The Good:
- This might be the best park in Florida (don't know that I've been to many others in the US recently enough to say). Quality is just two cuts above anything else I've seen this trip.
- I'm a Nintendo lover, so that world was beyond belief. Highlight of the trip. That said, the other worlds were super impressive as well.
The Bad:
- Wait times were insane for most marquis rides. **Note: I went on the Columbus Day Sunday, so it was probably much higher attendance than usual. We got to ride everything but Ministry of magic, (steady 210 minute wait all day). That said, we did Mario Kart twice, werewolf a few times, and we didn't get early admission. Also did not buy express lane passes either.
TLDR: Epic is better than any Disney park I've seen. Totally delivers, even when I didn't use any premium perks to shorten the lines. If it was just me & my wife, I'd do Express Lane on the high attendance days, but I had a party of 5, so that was too rich for my blood.

Pro TIP
Definitely wear your ASU gear. We love when football fans travel in (and especially from further out than SEC country.
We have no beef with ASU and everyone will roll out the red carpet. There will be a lot of free food & drinks and everyone will all you about ASU.
