    Gambling ads in general, can't enjoy a sport without it being plastered everywhere.

    Can you gamble online yet down there.
    Was visiting my family in Woodville last December. Seemed like the Indian gaming establishment there is doing quite well.

    Weddings. **** your happiness. You don’t have to rub it in my face. Also, weddings on a holiday weekend? Double annoying.

    If it’s the right wedding there’s a big party with free food and booze immediately after.

    They made a movie about it that seemed like a cool dude movie but ended up being a chick flick.

    That AA and AAA batteries no longer have the battery level checker on them. the one that you had to squeeze the hell out of the corner and side to check how much battery was left, sometimes leaving you with a permanent indention in your lead finger for the rest of your life.

    Got this for Christmas a few years ago and I LOVE it. It has a level checker that comes with it.

    Weddings are awesome. Free chicken dinner and open bar, what's wrong with that scenario? All of our friends are married but now their kids are starting to get married, so yeah...we're getting to go to some weddings again after like a 10 year lull.

    Now destination weddings....those are obnoxious. These girls that expect their entire bridal party to fork over 10K each just for the privilege of going to your wedding? Yeah, no. I've seen 20 year friendships break up because of this nonsense.

    I have to bring proof of citizenship now to get my TXDL renewed. Cluster**** plebian vote-getting regulation that no one likes.

    Don't get me started on the ******* DPS license offices.

    Thanks, Republicans!

    It's easier to get a brand new passport.

    It's been 12 years since my last picture so DPS decided I need to come in. There is no clear indication on their site that I needed a passport, so I just rolled in with my DL like I have for the past thirty years. Lady says, oh, you didn't read the site either and I'm like, oh, I am so sorry, I did not, it's weird and new (to me) that I would need a passport or birth certificate. So I had to reschedule.

    Came home and read the site. It's not clearly evident that I need proof of citizenship unless I really read the whole form. Why not put a big banner that says 'Texas now requires proof of citizenship in the form of x,y,z'. This is such a massive time-waste for everyone involved. Typical government bullshit. Yet another reason I won't vote R in this generation. Just too much pandering **** that wastes my time. One more inconvenience and I'll go into politics and stomp them all.

    Rabble rabble rabble.

    Got one installed on all my cans. Had them since 2017. Not late to the party like some supposedly helicopter owning poors around here.

    Still need TP for the once over.

    I tried to schedule an appointment online about 3 months ago...my appointment is November 7th, 150 miles away.

    There is a DPS License office 4 blocks from my Mom's house in Marble Falls. That would just be too easy.
