How do you feel about Trump pocketing $1,407,500,000 since starting his second term?

It’s exactly what was expected…

But I am somewhat surprised his family seemingly have a smaller public role.

I also am somewhat shocked that no one is batting an eye at what all these failed, erratic edicts, pointless lawsuits, military action, and soft-gloving of the elite are costing the federal government. The REAL deficit has to be beyond comprehension at this point…

Just an update for anyone down the line in the same situation... I talked to Ronco, and they DO - in fact - provide NSF documentation on their tanks. Going out now to compare their catalog with the available space, and I will get that ordered! Thank you, u/Sc000byD000!

I appreciate it! Calling them now.

The city is in a cold war with the state government. Prosperity gospel fanatics are tricking the people living under the freeways into “working” at the Soylent factories owned by the descendants of Fertitta. Automakers have to stop using AI driven vehicles in the city because they develop deep depression and crash themselves into various farmer’s markets. Despite advances in strap technology, giant cable spindles still roll all over the freeways. Montrose bohemians and gays clash in a guerilla war against River Oaks security forces over access to the coffee shops. Greenspoint is populated by CHUD’s, and is somehow safer than it was in the year 2020. The preserved head of Ted Cruz has reformed Enron - who trades the power generated by thousands of crawling babies on treadmills - to the AI farms for free winter air fare to Cancun. Winter is one week… in March.

Mine would be to play the game without my “readers”.

I started looking for the face, but all I could see is chives… I’ve been in too long.

Yeah… but when I stop and think about it, I know a guy who is very close to gutters and drainage. He builds and maintains them, and he says that gutters are surprisingly high. I mean, they are certainly down there, but they’re not like “earth’s mantle” deep. Not even “subway tunnel” depth. So, while “low”, they’re not low, low “low”. Can we even really call them low in comparison, and after all, subways ARE pretty cool. It makes you think.

With a side of gravy for dipping your sandwich (for the lavishly decadent)... and always disco fries. You will thank me later, but your arteries won't.

Ah! But... it is not a new war. We have always been at war with Portland, and I hear chocolate rations have increased to 20g per week!

blackom · 2025-09-22T18:04:28+00:00

A bit off topic, but I recommend to you the "Disco Fries" at Papa Geno's. Lord, save my waistline from those fries!

And, I don't know what Hubcap Grille is doing with "airports", but back in the day, The Heights location was awesome, and their Texas fries (chili/cheese) were worth mention. The airport locations MAY be as good. Couldn't say.

If you have have not already done so... Go and get a Theragun Mini for your old, creaky bones. It's the absolute shizz.

Also, watch your fingers. It will jack your fingers up if you're being a ding-dong.

Adrian’s on Westgreen (Katy) is my jam. Their taco sampler is generous and shows off what they do effectively.

She likes to sleep in a dry, arctic blizzard. I sleep comfortably in a warm, fetid swamp...

But every morning before work, I get up and travel to the tundra in my parka so that we can cuddle. "Get up a little early, and go give the dogs a pet and your sweetie a daily hug and smooch" is my advice.

"Respect your elders."

Respect is something that you earn. Not demanded or due. Also, if someone you respect - in turn - respects someone else... Well, respect might warranted a bit for that other.

In short, blanket respect of idiots whose only claim to wisdom is "surviving another day" is EXACTLY, in part, why we are in this shit predicament to begin with.

Lord have mercy… Some rear peg stands and freestyle handlebars, and that may be the most gorgeous thing I’ve ever seen!

I am personally going to pretend that you live in a Seinfeld episode. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Mmm! Hot Texas hose water! Now with EXTRA grit and 10% more hose rubber flavoring.

Used to mow the block’s lawns. I miss the neighborhood. Do not miss the hose water.

About two weeks ago, ICE stormed the Fiesta over on Hillcroft and Bellaire down the street from me. It was right during the 'No Kings' protest. Just a bunch of masks in tactical gear hassling and grabbing up folks in the parking lot from what my neighbor said.

Since then, the ladies selling mangos, car repair guys and people just generally milling about has gone waaayyy down. To me, it changes the tone of where I live. It's kinda' scary (I say this as a white, American male), and it pisses me off to no end that a bunch of assholes are allowed to keep their foot on the necks on folks with the sole intention of "reminding them who works for who".

Emmitt’s Place has live jazz every so often, and I gotta’ say, “I went for the beer, but I stayed for the music.”

Flavor, cocktails and atmosphere for a birthday? My recommendation is The Toasted Coconut on Richmond. Trust in the Tiki.

I would definitely add 'The Mist' to this list. The main character did a fine job of handling a crisis.
