Trouble in Paradise?

I had two jabs simply because I was forced to have them by the federal government to receive Medicare and Medicaid payments for my company.

Before I got the vaccines, I worked in hospitals non-stop, I traveled frequently including internationally, hugged two people who tested positive the next day and attended two funerals. All before the jabs.

Who knows if they work. I’ve never tested positive for Covid, but I do have more cardiovascular issues since.
 
Plenty of people I know have tested positive for covid symptoms since getting multiple jabs.

MAYBE it works in the sense that the worthless flu shots work in that MAYBE they reduce symptoms But, stop saying it is a vaccine. Vaccines prevent any symptoms. That's it.

These jabs have caused more issues than they have prevented and have made big pharma and doctors rich.

Now, can this thread get back to something enjoyable, which is aggie misery?
 
I've posted before, but I got the shot, lost 60 pounds (45 in six weeks). Lady in Boerne was in ICU for three weeks. UTHSC, UTMB, UTSA, Baylor College of Medicine have studied us to see why. Only things we have in common are asthma & neither of us has had a flu shot.

I’m a Boomer as these youngsters refer to me these days. Born in ‘52.
I have little to no understanding of gen x,y, or z. I thought that was something I learned in a science class about chromosomes or something. 🤷‍♂️

Gen X stood for the 10th American generation. They started Y (millennials) and Z (zoomers) after that.
 
So what will we call the AI "people" that many are chatting with and calling friends? One female said she created an AI boyfriend and is very satisfed with " HIM"
 
Born in '58, which makes me a 2nd half Boomer (what some demographers call "Generation Jones"). Came of age in the mid to late 1970s, and so our experience was somehwhat different from our older brothers and sisters who came of age in the 1960s (my two siblings were 8 and 10 years older than me). I was way too young to worry about being sent to Vietnam. The Selective Service requirement to register for the draft was discontinued shortly before I turned 18. When it was reinstated in 1980 (or therabouts), it applied to guys born on 1/1/60 and after. So those of us born in '58 and '59 (and the second half of '57) never had to register for the draft.

My only child daughter was born in the very late 90s, which makes her early Gen Z. But in many ways she seems to me to be more like a Greatest Generation type; I see a lot of my grandparents in her (they were all born in the early '20s). Lots of drive and grit.

Boomer here. Born in '52 like txhorn and I turn 73 in a few days. Our parents were the Greatest Generation. We will likely never see a generation even come close to what they accomplished and contributed to this country. Their fortitude and sense of duty to God and Country was unwavering.

chicken fry, mashed potatoes, corn, side salad, two dinner rolls, And gravy, extra gravy. And a slice of chocolate silk pie.

The LuAnn platter was for girls. And lightweights.

That would cost northwards of $20 these days. I love Luby's but their business model makes eating there an expensive proposition.
(Personally, their fried fish is my fav)
 
Back in the day when I was a young pup we would go to the Luby's in North Star Mall in San Antonio quite frequently as my grandparents lived nearby and liked it. Chicken drumstick, mashed potatoes and a slice of strawberry pie was the jam!

That location closed decades ago and was probably the last one I visited. Great memories - too bad it's not the same from what you say.
 
Right after Thanksgiving they closed the Luby’s in Lake Jackson. But now there’s a Luby’s located in what used to be the Intermedics campus on the north side of Angleton.

I spent 7 years in Angleton back in the 90s and remember that Intermedics campus well. I doubt I would recognize the town these days. Used to be Golden Corral and Smithharts (used to be called Babbalucis or something like that) were the only places to eat that weren’t fast food.

Smithharts is still there. The former Golden Corral building eventually became a Chinese buffet … which closed 3 or 4 years ago and the building just sat there vacant and deteriorated over time. Ironically, on the sign out front it said “WE ARE OPEN” that whole time.
Back in June the crappy building was demolished. A lot of people were happy to see that eyesore go away.

There are some good locally owned Tex-Mex places in town. La Casona is very, very popular, especially since they moved into their new digs about 5 years ago on the northern end of Velasco. El Patio is in the building near downtown that originally housed a Walgreen pharmacy many years ago. Those 2 are my top favorites and I consider them to be way better than Matt’s El Rancho in Austin. Then there’s Puerto Villarta, which is in the original location of La Casona (30 years ago that was the location of the original Arby’s). There’s also Guadalajara and El Jardin (which some people love but I’m not so wild about.

Then there’s ChopStix (located where the RedTop Burgers restaurant used to be), it’s very popular. And there’s a new Chinese restaurant south of downtown on Velasco where a cafe used to be. It too, is very popular.

Giovanni’s is still there (where Duncan Donuts was 30 years ago). Open for dinner only, 5 nights a week. Very popular Italian eatery.

Oh, and several new subdivisions going in on the north side of town. Some of the locals are complaining about the “Houstonization” of Angleton. Get a grip. Not even close to being Pearland, much less Houston.

Is that El Jardin connected to the old El Jardin on Navigation and 77th in Houston's East End? I know the owners lived in Clear Lake. That was one of the best restaurants in Houston if you got there before 9.

I lived in East Texas a # of years (not Houston). The people I knew thought Taco Bell was "good Mexican food".
 
You go to El Jardin before 8/830 and park at the front door. Joe had a live band that cranked up about 930/10, and a large dance floor. After 9, you parked 3-4 blocks away and waited an hour for a table. There was a steak dish that I would submit was one of the top 5-6 dishes in Houston.
 
Posted this on the " Rsndom" thread but bears repeating.....


On3 reporting A&M WR Micah Hudson is "stepping away" from team activities.

Some talk that it's mental health/family issues, but A&M 247 suggesting it's an "entourage" problem.
 
Boomer here, 1953.

Greatest Generation: Dad, UT grad, Navy Lt. in the Pacific. About 10 of our extended family fought for various services in WW2 in several theaters.

My fav is Uncle Pat from Waco TX: Gunnery Officer on the carrier USS Yorktown (2) in the Pacific off Okinawa.

Only advice I can give: DONT GET THE JAB OR THE POST JAB(s) PEOPLE.

RUSHED 2021 Covid experimental " Emergency Use Only" vaccine, that barely went through Phase 1 testing of 3 "normal" testing phases.

Lots of unexplained deaths after the jab, many people healthy not the same after the jab. Many cases if Miocroditias in young / healthy people, plus other health issues with others, then and now.

My wife was on the front lines of Covid 19 , vaccines and aftermath. She has shared many first hand stories of these bad outcome examples to me.

Did your Uncle ever talk about being on the Yorktown?
Click to expand...
Since you asked.

Yes, in the mid-1960's when my Brother and I were young (me about 12 -13 brother 10). Pat talked about some of the battles, especially Okinawa. He showed us a black& white photo scrapbook of the carrier USS Yorktown in action. He talked about terrible and ongoing Kamikaze attacks on all US ships off Okinawa - ESPECIALLY against the carriers. Spoke of lost friends and sailors.

One photo, I've always remembered, showed a dead Jap flyers body and his planes flaming wreckage on the deck of the Yorktown. My Brother and I were fascinated with all these incredible WW2 action photos and his narrative. My Uncle Pat was colorful and crusty, very patriotic, loved the Navy.

My fav story I've stated before on HF about my Uncle Pat as Gunnery Officer: once when he was required to call fellow sailors to battle stations, he went over the ship intercom and said: "Southerners man your battle stations. Yankees look for cover.,"

My Dad told me this long after Pat died. Said the Navy did not think this command was funny and very nearly court-marshalled him!
