    European males

    lol, yes, there are quite a few Texans that despise the cold. However, the panhandle and West Texas areas are some of the coldest around (negative wind chills) when the blue northers blow in....we were breaking ice on the cow's water troughs three weeks ago with wind chills in the negative 10...

    European males

    I, too, have lived all over the world, and fought and served with, most likely the toughest folks around...Texans(and folks from all parts of the US), Russians, Turks, and some of the spec op Aussies I've had the pleasure to know are the toughest around....I only add Texans as my father is...

    Materialism

    But, we can transcend materialism and be happy, content, pleased with oneself, etc.; without, correct, without material things...I was happier being poor, driving terrible vehicles, renting a bad apartment (or worse, living with provided military housing), than I usually am with a lot more...

    The Road To Super Bowl LII (02/04/18): I Call Bank at US Bank Minneapolis

    To comment on Rodgers and his "greatness"...first, congrats to the Pack for outplaying the Cowboys in the 2nd half. I think the one thing that may push Rodgers into 2nd, or at least 3rd best of all time is his ability to keep plays alive with his legs, his legs won the game prior to the td...

    College Football 2017: The Road To Atlanta

    another good weekend of college football....could be a three-peat natty game, I hope not! I am ready for some other teams to get a chance. Georgia looked like the real deal, Penn st., ou, wash, all still look decent. for this week, I just hope the AGGIES stay within two or three scores and...

    Rank these 4 legendary rock groups ??

    for me, it's ---- Zep Floyd Beattles Stones I can listen to every zep album, and only have to skip a few songs, not so with most of the others. All this said, if i did a top 10 songs from each band, i would have to add AC/DC and the Eagles to this list...I don't think the Eagles...

    hmm, well, cnn, msncbc, cbs, etc. have had to make more "corrections" and apologies lately than fox...so, I would suggest you use them in your joke...unless you just like to be wrong...

    The Road To Super Bowl LII (02/04/18): I Call Bank at US Bank Minneapolis

    Good summary, however, you forgot to mention that the Cowboy defense returned to last year's form.....ie, not good..... As long as the broncos keep their cb's healthy, no one will be able to block their d-line long enough for the wr's to get open. And...as a Cowboy fan, i have to add -- to...

    The Road To Super Bowl LII (02/04/18): I Call Bank at US Bank Minneapolis

    I only watched the game in spurts, but yeah, cincy has major issues. Houston only really had two capable receivers (te/wr), so i expected them to struggle. But, the bengals only getting three fg's is ridiculous. They needed to get a run game going to keep dalton from harms way against that...

    The Road To Super Bowl LII (02/04/18): I Call Bank at US Bank Minneapolis

    oh, and my bad on the mixon and rice deal, about the only thing going for mixon on that is he didn't knock her out, and he admitted to it...whether because there was a video up front or not, he did say he did it..still a bad act. the other thing that helps mixon is he did his deed, and paid...

    The Road To Super Bowl LII (02/04/18): I Call Bank at US Bank Minneapolis

    Kaep's stats are better than Tolzein...QBR of 88 vs. 62...so, but Kaep was in a system designed for him, which helped his #'s. He for sure is an upgrade to Tolzein, but he is a back up, getting paid back up $$....with no "issues" to worry about. Once Luck comes back, he won't be heard from...

    The Road To Super Bowl LII (02/04/18): I Call Bank at US Bank Minneapolis

    Tom, you think Rice was treated unfairly, but Kaep is getting a bad rap? Rice flat knocked his lady out...that CAN NOT be tolerated, at any time. Kaep is pretty much a bad qb now, due to injuries and offenses not employing a system that exploit his legs(which now that he really can't throw with...

    College Football 2017: The Road To Atlanta

    Speaking of the Maryland team looking good...their coach (Durkin) is reportedly high on the Aggies new coach list....assuming Sumlin can't get this current team motivated like they were in the 1st half against ucla....the other name being thrown around is Chad Morris of smu...he's an Aggie and...

    The Road To Super Bowl LII (02/04/18): I Call Bank at US Bank Minneapolis

    Houston's play Sunday may put O'Brian on the hot seat...where it should have been several years ago....for an "offensive guru" his offenses have been some of the most pathetic over the last few years. On a positive note, at least for one week, the Cowboys have a defense!!!

    Favourite Led Zeppelin songs?

    Babe I'm Gonna Leave You, Immigrant Song, Since I've been Loving You, Kashmir, Achilles Last Stand, Nobody's Fault But Mine, When the Levy Breaks, Custard Pie, and all the more "bluesy" songs..but, to be honest, Zeppelin is one of the few bands that I can listen to every song on every album...

    Congrats to Coco!! Great to see her give the racquet to the kiddo. And, I like her political leanings, but wouldn't care either way...unlike some.

    bama looked good; michigan looked good, but florida was down 10 players...so, we will see if they can maintain that level the Aggies were awesome for 3.5 quarters...and then we were the opposite of awesome....it will be interesting to see what happens now since Sumlin knows he can't afford any...

    Houston looks bad !!!

    Tahoe, if that's the case, then we sure had a lot of carbon pollution happening back in the 1940's when we had 8 hurricanes hit Texas...or the 1880s when, again, 8 'canes hit Texas... But, yes there is climate change, as there always has been...but, no humans didn't cause this tragic event...

    yep, can't wait!! Looking forward to the big Saturday games, but I am really waiting for the Sunday night game with my beloved AGGIES up against ucla in the rose bowl. It will be interesting to see if the Ags can stop the run this year, and if we have a qb, or not....

    The water is much more than waste deep. Some of my family that are there have said they had to duck, under POWER LINES, while rescuing folks in their boats.

    Just booked my first cruise ever…any advice/recommendations?

    Something you can do to help with seasickness is to take ginger pills. My wife took them for a week prior to the cruise and continued them throughout the cruise and for the next few days after...she never had any issues. And, they are healthy for you.

    Just booked my first cruise ever…any advice/recommendations?

    Mr. Lob, the cost of the booze pass is why we opted to purchase the bottle of crown through them for our room. The one bottle lasted us, since we don't drink that much, the entire cruise.
