I apparently took off my silicone wedding band last night. I have no clue where it is at all. thejeremy took his off in the middle of the night 2 weeks after we eloped, so I win this battle.
I feel like a silicone band would bother me more than metal! Do they get sweaty?
Luckily my earrings are insured against loss, so if they don't turn up they can be replaced... but I don't know how I unscrewed both of them in my sleep and then they disappeared?! I got up to use the bathroom, so maybe they got flushed away
I wear a silicone band and I don’t mind it most of the time, but every once in a while it will get weird and annoying. The bands we got married with were ebony with a guitar string inlay, which I really loved, but I had a tendency to forget to take mine off when I was washing my hands or times when I was sweaty, so it started getting really stinky after a few years. I have it in a box and want to have some kind of display made for them (Josh wears his on a chain around his neck and would be fine with stopping that), but I haven’t figured out what I want.
The suburb west of Houston - with 309,556 residents inside the Katy ISD boundaries - edged out the Pennsylvania city's dwindling population of 308,237 people, according to numbers provided by analytics company Alteryx.

LOL. I'm not sure what Wikipedia uses for the $18k, but probably the city and not area (certainly not metro because that's millions). Only time I see Katy is when I'm driving to Austin and have to cross west Houston and all that real estate between there and Columbus when I can get on the 71. Isn't it kind of just suburban Houston though? I'm guessing you could break up New York City into a bunch of giant cities too? And Los Angeles. And San Francisco.
I'm sure most of you are aware of the "there's more than one Paul McCartney" theories, but on Colbert the other night the mad man answers the question of what it's like to be Paul McCartney with "it's like there's me, and then there's him."
When I was at summercamp many moons ago there was a tape floating around of a 45 minute radio show called "Turn Me On Deadman" that went over all the clues. lost my copy years ago unfortunately
They do break up those cities, too. Brooklyn, Hollywood, etc.
The only time I went to L.A. they had this thing called Thompson Guide instead of city street map. MF was about 50 pages and connected north/east/south/west to whatever the next corresponding page. A lot of that stuff runs together like Studio City > Sherman Oaks > Van Nuys > North Hollywood > Burbank etc. to where you can't really tell you went from one place to the next. Same shit up in Philly. You might be eating a hoagie or something and see several different police cars pass by and wonder which one is the one that actually has jurisdiction where you are.

Yeah. The LA area is lousy with different places, especially if you count stuff as far away as OC like Laguna Beach, Anaheim, etc. Then there's like Malibu and the Valley and stuff. It makes Houston look small by comparison.
its for seemingly just football for the "district", but one school in the district is one of the crown jewels of Tx HS football (lol only big NFL player is Andy Dalton though), so the stadiums size/excess is about them, not the other schools so much. my district had a similar thing that was built they talk about in the article but it was a whole complex and they have a ton of shit there (briefly hosted an arena football team) and the Katy one just seems like a too expensive stadium.

This is where high schools in our district play (some of, there's another older stadium too) games. It has a capacity of 11K. It also has an arena adjacent (capacity of 9500):
The arena also hosts graduations and such.
Then there's the infamous Allen stadium. Allen is a suburb of Dallas that really really cares about HS football. It spent 60 million dollars on Eagle Stadium, which seats 18K (there's that number again), which actually makes it only the fifth-largest high school stadium in Texas, but the largest that is used by only one high school for home games. Allen is a huge school and I believe the district refuses to build another high school, mainly so that their football talent pool is as large as possible. They also have plenty of boosters and active recruiting. Kyler Murray, this years first-overall NFL draft pick, went to Allen.
The reason I say infamous about this particular stadium is this, from the Wikipedia entry:
On February 27, 2014 the stadium was closed due to cracking in concrete to ensure the safety of visitors. All future events were canceled until further notice. In a letter to the design and construction companies for the stadium, lawyers for the school district cited “construction failures” that exacerbated “already deficient design.”
Repairs costing more than $10 million were made at the expense of the builder and architect, and the stadium was officially reopened on June 5, 2015 for graduation.
towards the end of high school, my school started an $8 million renovation on the football stadium and we suddenly only used that yellow fuzzy paper that turns to dust when you erase anything.
Never seen more than a couple episodes of FNL, tbh. The movie slaps, though. I think it's my favorite sports movie.
i enjoyed the movie but was profoundly uninterested in a TV show based on the movie. can't remember what made me finally give it a shot, i guess just a lot of people were talking about it. if you like character-driven stories its one of the best i've ever seen.
having said that season 2 is a gas leak season. there is a plot line that is kind of ridiculous, but mercifully due to the writer's strike the season was cut short. season 3 there is a time jump and IIRC they pretty much ignore what happened in season 2. a bit disconcerting but it works, because the series is wonderful from then until the end.

Mine and Kyle's alma mater is getting a new school where an old hospital was (it's like 1/2 blk from my house) and that football field will be HUGE. They are state champs and have been pretty consistently for decades. When I went it was only 7-9 and they added a year each year until my class graduated (first senior class) in '93 and then after Katrina they made it just a high school. It was in really bad condition when I went in the 90s and still only had AC upstairs when Kyle graduated. The gym was closed Kyle's freshman year due to termites and they still have annexes in the field to accommodate all the students. They really need a new school, but that football field isn't going to hurt either. Best part is the band is champs too and now I will have them practicing where it isn't faint in the air, it will be LOUD. I can not wait.
