My grandmother would make me go find my own branch, sit on the steps and pluck the leaves off. Then she'd tell me that one wasn't big enough and make me find a bigger one and pluck the leaves off again. After repeating this a few times she never did use the switch. Her intimidation/manipulation worked for some time.

True, but what took him so long?

Oh no. I enjoy cooking and eating though. Competition takes way more time and money than I care to spend.

It's about the kids, tax payer money, economics, business ethics. the communities future and so on. The concerns and effects do not stop at BISD boundary lines. When BISD is in the statewide news daily it does have some residual effect on the SE TX area. The BISD situation also generates high interest from anyone in the educational field. I hope no one is happy about the situation but most are glad to help on the way.

It's hump day again.   We can all be difference makers.     [Hidden Content]

Interesting Hippy, I haven't heard of that brisket recipe before.

We don't have Brookshire Brothers in our are but I'll keep an eye out at other stores.

A favorite seasoning of mine is Montreal steak seasoning. You will be impressed. I often pre-coat a steak with a little olive oil before seasoning. If I have time to prepare and want to get fancy I'll top it off with a blue cheese and butter compound mixture kicks it up a notch. I'm getting hungry.

I don't expect my insurance to provide condoms

The mere fact that he was elected president is a step forward in race relations but that credit should go towards the American voters.

A little post July 4 music. One of the best songs ever.     [Hidden Content]

Typical debate over when life begins.   As far as people making mistakes; should the employer pay for insurance that covers a smokers lung cancer or a head injury of a helmetless biker? Just asking.

Pictures just show how it looks. How'd it taste?

BG, your grandfather sounds wise and I appreciate his insight. That insight however would not be well received had it not come from a black person, or a relative for that matter.

To be fair, there wasn't a great pool of choices running to fill the OCJ vacancy.   Furthermore, as others have pointed out, many of the local democratic politicians of the past  didn't cling to the typical democratic  liberal values.

The Media will break down Christy before he ever gets rolling.   A bipartisan president will not accomplish much with the current division of the parties.

Can you provide a link to support your claim that they invest in birth control companies?

Good idea. All theses pictures were just from this last weekend.

JBs is Orange is good. However, this is pretty common on weekends around our house so I don't go to many BBQ places                

I think every local media outlet is neck deep in investigations. They all want to be the one's to break the story.

Good questions. I would like to know the criteria for rif selections. I didn't see any coaches on the list. I didn't see any auxiliary staff either.

If this was a reality show people would swear it was staged.

Either the four door Chevy with the Duramax or the Ford power-stroke diesel would be nice. I wish I needed one.   GMC Yukon Denali   2015 Corvette Z06 - two seat are plenty if you also have a Denali     I can't afford any of these but no one specified "practical"
