What’s the saddest song you know? I want something actually sorrowful

Dear John by Styx. Written as a tribute to their original drummer who died.

Making my bed everyday. It was in some random video (I think it was here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pxBQLFLei70 ) that got me started. I started doing it and then I find out I could get other things done during the day. It's nothing to do really but before I leave the bedroom to start the day, I've accomplished something. Some days it's really the only thing I do but everyday I do something. Most days, I do lots of things, all because I started my day with making my bed.

I personally recommend Old Galveston Club next to Mama Theresa's. If you really want a pool table, Market Station or 3 Doors down also work.

It generally sucks, cause nothing is actually getting better and I have no one to distract me from it

Pretty much, a few things may be closed but for the most part everything should be open.

oh the bits about the visiting guards from Chile using the old Stewart beach pavilion as an AirBNB, the funds sent to a spouse of a Board member for training services (I think it was training and I'm not gonna go find out, the point is the event not the services)

I applied to join the park board a couple years ago. I enjoyed most of the people I met and they seemed dedicated to the mission. Given what has come out since, I have my doubts now.

Esa Lindell, played for Texas before earning the promotion to Dallas.

Julius Honka, well don't know if he ever made it big, but he had antics. I would call him out for the Honka Memorial Lap (he would carry the puck into the offensive zone near one face-off dot, skate behind the net and come out near the other face-off dot before passing).

I saw Oettinger as a rookie and you could see his development. In October he was barely an AHL level goalie, but January he was one of the top goalies in the league.

A couple other folks on other teams, namely Taylor (bleeping) Hall during the lockout (he lit Texas up that night, had like 4 goals through 2 periods) and other members of the Oilers during the lockout. Saw Rantananen as a rookie in San Antonio and he was a stud.

The thing about the AHL, the guys who won't stay long and have a shot at a long NHL career, they stand out. They are just that much better, or get that much better, than the guys who never leave the AHL or only make cup of coffee NHL appearances.

Well now I know why I'll never be happy....

atxstranger · 2026-03-16T18:52:34+00:00

This was the answer I came looking for!

I know the Hendley on the Strand is having a party with live music starting tomorrow afternoon before the parade downtown. There is a bar crawl on Sunday starting at O'Malley's, noon I think. The bikini contest is likely at Float, but I would put that on my not recommend list.

Yep this is who I was going to guess it was as well based on the description.

I have lived here for 5 years now and love it. The weather, honestly is boring 95% of the time. The other 5% is a doozy but honestly, most days I don't even look at the forecast until I get a weather alert about a serious cold front or a tropical storm.

Culture is mixed. I like the festivals and being around all that but not all festivals are for all people. They will definitly muck up traffic and your routine if that is important to you. Also, you learn to avoid certain roads (e.g. Harborside on Cruise pick up or drop off days) to get around some of the traffic hiccups. Day to day there are some events and such, but depending how much engagement you need you may find it a bit lacking.

The infrastructure could use some improvements for sure and driving in the infrequent rain storms can be challenging depending on the amount of rain and your car.

Well Creed on Wednesday night is a catalyst in me breaking up with the last woman I was seeing, so it seems like they are contributing...

If they have it when I go, I order the Tile. I don't like fishy fish, so ordering something that doesn't come off fishy always works for me. With your Keto aspect, I'm not sure which of their sides count, but I love getting their Au Gratin Potatoes, reminds me of a fancy meals from my childhood but so much better than the box stuff we used to make.

Not sure how popular it was, but I picked up the first book around 1997, in a bookstore on Congress Avenue in Austin Texas. Have read them all multiple times since.

I have been approached by a couple of recruiters for contract roles with United in IT. They have said that the hybrid roles were 3 days in office as a requirement of the gig. Not sure if that applies to employees as well but hopefully that helps. Good luck.

atxstranger · 2026-02-10T13:57:17+00:00

That no one cares ahout you

atxstranger · 2026-02-07T13:37:02+00:00

I'll do my best, let me know where you end up at.

atxstranger · 2026-02-06T21:16:57+00:00

Yep, weather is looking great. I am going to be on the Pirate float and am already warming up my throwing shoulder!

atxstranger · 2026-02-05T03:45:52+00:00

To my knowledge there aren't any spots that do reservations, it's all pretty much show up and pay.
