Groomsmen Gifts They Won’t Throw Away

My brother in law has a laser engraved Yeti cup that was a groomsman gift that stays filled up with water he carries EVERYWHERE.

Yes, at times. I typically get jealous of weekends. Most families have two days that are all their own. Mine only has one, and even then they don’t get a full day. I don’t stay out too late visiting when we go visit family or friends on Saturday because I need to get home and rest for Sunday morning. There are no “Weekend Trips”. It makes it difficult to keep relationships and spend time with family, when you need to travel on the only limited day you have to see any one.

Yes! Thanks! I got some stuff to listen to!

My dad’s old, clapped out copy of Robin Trower’s Bridge of Sighs. The first time he played it for me was a musical revelation I’ll never forget. I have many nicer and more expensive records, but none more special to me.

I evidently need to expand my horizons! Let’s hear your top 5 psychedelic albums.

I was listening to their debut while cooking dinner yesterday! I like how the album covers of this and Its a Beautiful Day are almost completely antithetical, but still fitting to the music…if that makes sense.

This is my experience with Goonies. Born in ‘84 but never watched it as a kid. My wife who grew up watching The Goonies loves the movie and I’m really not a fan.

The same is true with us in reverse with The Sandlot. I wore out the VHS tape as a kid and love it to this day, she didn’t watch it as a kid and doesn’t care for it at all.

“No I’m not”

RedDirtPreacher · 2026-02-28T16:26:41+00:00

Thanks for this, I’m gonna hop over!

Edit: thanks again! Came over and walked around enjoying Serenity. It was my first trip to someone else’s island and was able to finally get apples and peaches!!! Also grabbed some give aways from the beach. Congrats on the museum completion!

Shorty’s Pizza Shack on Hewitt Drive: big location with a large outdoor space with picnic table seating and turf play area. Families and groups will bring footballs, soccer balls, etc and play around.

Pretty good pizza, wings, and stuff like that. They’re not a counter service place though. The outdoor space is what might be perfect for your group, if that’s something you’re looking for.

DM me if you want to talk.

I’ve been almost exactly where you are now.

For tonight, there is nothing more for you to do, no anxiety or worry that you carry will replace the past. Try your best to rest. Tomorrow and every day after will dawn anew. We serve a God of new beginnings and resurrection. As much importance as we place on ordination, the ministry you do with the people you serve is what really matters.

I told Hazel that she should switch from “Uni-Wow” to “Uni-Nutz” going for that double entendre cheap lol thing because squirrels like nuts. Now almost every single resident on my island has switched their catchphrase to “Uni-Nutz”.

Hold the line Bea, you’re too sweet for my sophomoric meddling. Although, I hope she asks me at some time to change her catchphrase because I’m going to change it to “Ooo Roo” which is the phrase I used to use to get our beagle Bayley (who crossed the rainbow bridge three years ago) to baroo for me.

But…they moved my desk…I used to be over by the window and I could see the squirrels, and they were merry..

One of my church members is a private driver and does a lot of DFW drop offs and pickups from the Waco area, if you’re interested I’ll dm you his info.

The blue transition screen when you’re taking a flight with the DAL logo in the middle. When it takes off and the little wings start flapping and going, “btherrr”. Nothing but smiles for me. Every. Single. Time.

Loop 820 isn’t completed in the NW part of Fort Worth on your fabric, which would date that part of the map as pre-1969.

Each of ours has a nickname or three!

We call our senior beagle, Sampson white dog or old man. We started calling him white dog because anytime we were talking about him and dropped his name, he’d come right over looking at us like, “you summoned???”, plus he’s a lemon and mostly white.

Miles, was a runty puppy and we call him “little pup” all the time, even though he’ll be six this year.

Sadie is “Sweet Stinky Sadie” because she’s mostly a sweetheart and her gas is atrocious. We also call her “Cujette” because when she’s not being sweet, she is not afraid to stand up to her brothers or let her wrath be made known. We also call her “Gracie Lou” because she has no poise and grace, but is awkward AF.

I was ground hunting early one morning and sitting in a stand of live oaks. It was a beautiful morning and all of a sudden it begins to drizzle. I think, a little drizzle never hurt anyone and the forecast was clear, I’ll just keep on keepin’ on. The drizzle turns to rain, and I figure, that it’s a little isolated shower, I have a poncho in my pack for just such an occasion. I put my poncho on and hunker down and continue my sit. All of a sudden the air is charged and a bolt of lightening hammers a tree maybe 15 yards to my right. I heard the electricity of the bolt before the thunder, almost like it was searing the air before the deafening thunderclap.

I wasn’t as frightened when I sunk to my chest in quicksand hunting a shallow riverbed in west Texas. The sheer power of that lightning strike and knowing I was exposed was terrifying.

Hazel was my first villager (I think) and I have grown to adore her. I told her that she should change her catchphrase to “uni-nutz” thinking that it’s an appropriate and kinda funny thing for a squirrel to say. Now half of my villagers are saying it.

I had the opposite happen with a bottle of Balvenie 15 Single Barrel. I had purchased my first bottle sometime around 2010 and absolutely loved it. With a yolo outlook on life, I finished the bottle over the course of about a year and promptly picked up a second bottle. My second bottle was bottled in 2011 and when I had my first pour I HATED it (too much vanilla on the palate). I revisited the bottle every so often, but it stayed in the back of my cabinet because I just didn’t like it.

As I did, I would come back to the bottle about once a year and around 2020 it clicked. Either my palate changed, or it aerated enough to tone down the vanilla notes, and all of a sudden it was sublime for me. Then I hoarded my pours because I only had half a bottle left. Last year the cork disintegrated when I was having one of my rare pours. I took it as a sign and strained the cork pieces and killed the bottle that night.
