Dinner at Texas Roadhouse was great last night. It had been way too long since I'd been there. January at LEAST. Went to the GT Distributors anniversary today! Nope, I didn't win a door prize, but I DID purchase my 1st firearm. FINALLY! 45 years of being around firearms & I finally own one of my very own! It's a perfect starter firearm for me, I love it! Xoco's 3rd birthday is a week from today. Hard to believe time has flown by so quickly. The day we got her, Pete & I were at a flea market, he was looking at lawn mowers, weed whackers, useful stuff ... I, on the other hand, immediately found the one guy in the whole place with cute little furry things. When Pete came over, I said "Look! Puppies!" He made some comment like "Yeah, they're dogs." Completely disinterested & giving me that 'let's go already' look. I did my usual squeaking / whining protest ... "but ... look at the puppies!" & shoved one into his face. He reluctantly took it just to shut me up, & was about to once again say "Fine, it's just a d... " then suddenly his expression changed & he wasn't letting go of her. Once it became clear that it was buy the dog or be charged with theft, I asked the man how much & wrote him a check. On the way home we needed to stop for fuel. Pete reluctantly handed me the puppy, got out, pumped the fuel, got in & said "Give me my dog" & took her out of my hands before I could even open my mouth. A story of a boy & his dog ... they're inseparable.

Combining your finances when you're not married is not good. The idea that you're going to have a long-term unmarried couple prosper financially & relationally is mythology. It so seldom happens. At the same time, trying to act like you're married in every way but keeping your finances & your lives separate doesn't work. My advice is: Get married.
Flagitious:
Marked by scandalous crime or vice.
The flagitious escapades of the infamous celebrity have been reported in the tabloids.
Today's word derives from the Latin noun flagitium, meaning "shameful thing," & is akin to the Latin noun flagrum, meaning "whip." "Flagitious" 1st appeared in the late 14th century, & it was originally applied to people who were horribly criminal or wicked. These days, it can also describe intangibles, such as actions ("flagitious promiscuity"), ideas ("a flagitious notion"), or principles ("flagitious motives").
The Dallas, Texas,
area is hit by torrential rains and a severe hailstorm that leaves 17
dead and many others seriously wounded on this day in 1995. The storm,
which hit both Dallas and Tarrant counties, was the worst recorded hail
storm to hit the United States in the 20th century.
The storm came on a Friday afternoon, when warm weather had drawn many
people to outdoor events in the area. It came on suddenly and many
people had not yet sought shelter when tennis-ball-sized hail began to
fall. Victims suffered broken bones, deep lacerations or bruises from
the hail stones. The hail also broke windows, dented cars and trucks
and destroyed crops. Air traffic throughout the country was delayed
because of the sudden problems in Dallas. However, the hail was not
responsible for the 17 people who lost their lives that day. Instead, it
was the accompanying flash flooding that caused the 17 fatalities.
Most of the deceased drowned after becoming trapped in their cars.
In order for hail to fall, there must be powerful updrafts of warm air
combined with colder clouds. For that reason, hail storms virtually
always occur in the late spring or early fall and in the afternoon. The
warm air at the ground--heated from a full day of sun--rises and brings
with it salt, dust and other particles. When these particles meet with
the super-cooled water in a cloud, ice forms over them. As the
particles continue to rise, bouncing as if on a trampoline within a
towering cloud, the icy particles grow and grow until gravity sends them
plunging to the ground. A large hail stone has layers of ice almost
like an onion.
It is estimated that a two-pound hail stone
requires a 400 mile-per-hour updraft in order to keep it in the air long
enough to reach that size. Reportedly, items as large as frogs, worms
and fruit have been swept up by updrafts and turned into hail.

How to spot a dud on a date:
Dates who live in the past.
Her last boyfriend was a control freak. His 1st wife ran off with the pool man, interesting ... to a point. But after that point, endless remembrances of relationships-past hardly flatter the person relating them. Beyond that, they're dull, dull, dull.
