Before the Rangers started going balls to the wall all you could get here were craptacular Astros games, and a Ranger game once in a blue moon. Glad that Nolan Ryan made switched the Astros' former farm team in Round Rock to the Rangers'.
Nolan is a good guy. Glad to know him personally. One of the few people that fame and money hasn't change who he was.

You think you can use your connections so I can meet Ian Kinsler? LOL! I apologize for changing the subject ahead of time... Caitsith.Zahrah said: » Shadowe Elrik said: » Nolan is a good guy.

LOL! I apologize for changing the subject ahead of time... Between the two of us, I could get you 1 meet with pretty much anyone you wanted. My connection: My cousin went to TCU when Reed went and Nolan was coaching. He went on to play AA ball. We're both pitchers. My cousin actually dated Wendy for some time. We used to hunt on the ranch and go to dinner with them in Ft. Worth and Weatherford etc.

18% would be a fair increase.
Your $99 a month cable bundle in 2005 should now cost you $116.92 a month. http://www.usinflationcalculator.com/inflation/current-inflation-rates/ Lakshmi.Flavin said: » Most cord cutting communities go heavily to online tv / streaming / rental services. Stuff like Roku is taking off lately, too. What does your inflation calc have to say about the 300% inflation on fuel?

That's a fun slice of family! Good stuff! Have you ever heard any stories about Ryan wailing on Ventura on the mound? LOL!
Jokes though. I know Kins is married now. I just thought that he was rather adorable when he "stepped on to the plate" with the Rangers when I was twenty/twenty-one-ish.

Meeting Ian and trying to home wreck are two completely different things. Just get that "What Lies Beneath" glint out of your eyes if you run into him. ; )

Cut the cord a few months ago and bought a 10$ antenna. Local channels are HD and major sports events are on it. Using Amazon prime and Hulu plus on the xbox. Glad to get rid of that bill, I hardly watch TV to begin with.

That's what we do, too. A little box doohicky in the window gets us local channels, and Amazon prime gets us most movies that we'd like. We don't have Hulu though, oh well.
You are so brave, Zah! I would never want to meet a famous person. I would be all "OMG Emma Watson! You are gorgeous and the best actress ever and I loved your portrayal of Hermione Granger!" And she'd be all "Yeah thanks whatever, every person I've ever met tells me that exact thing word-for-word. Are you crazy fans actually robots mass-produced in Japan or something?" And it would be just so embarrassing.

With a daycare bill of $230 per week, I had to make some cuts.
Daycare costs blow... It's like another mortgage...

Honestly, it would probably seems as though I would have a mild form of tourettes or the mentality of a thirteen-year-old girl. /twitch "OMG! You are so cute! I wants to make your babies!" Fenrir.Scragg said: » With a daycare bill of $230 per week, I had to make some cuts. Ugh! I have to really reevaluate whether I want kids or not now. Is it like a Montessori program (well, not sure when they would start that), a church associated program, or is this what people should expect across the board?

I have no student loans to pay off! My family avoided the whole daycare thing... my mom took off work until we were all in school then went back to teaching which she was at work for as long as we were in school...

So jealous of my friends who teach. Copious amounts of time to do whatever. I think I might just say, "*** it!", eventually and get my teacher's cert. Supposedly, it doesn't take too long.

Supposedly, it doesn't take too long. i soooo want to teach when i get to be like 60+ years old. i wanna be that cool old guy that teaches history/computer courses in highschool, and when its a dead day or there's no real point in teaching a lesson for the day i want to play a video game on the projector and tell my students "be quiet kids, i'm trying to play" >:[

I paid for it myself. I'm sure the price has gone up since I left. Fenrir.Scragg said: » Quetzalcoatl.Xueye said: » Kids are expensive. Who knew?

I'm sure the price has gone up since I left. Your daycare is about the cost of a state school with no scholarships, including room and board. Little Tyke's going to college, but it's like paying for a meal plan, room, and board twice. Perspective. Maybe kids are a bad idea. I dont really understand the concept of being star struck, we're all just the same people.

I'd love to meet this guy:He (and others, he's just an example) would be the closest to being star struck I'd really get.. If I knew I was going to meet him, I would actually sit there and think about what I wanted to ask/say to him, and if we just randomly bumped into each other I'd probably go stupid and say "Hi" and walk off or something, and then kick myself for the rest of my life for being such an idiot. Basically someone who has actually contributed to the world. And I'd absolutely love to party with this guy, (but wouldn't be star struck or anything):
