re: This video explains EVERYTHING...

All of us are, including the vociferous opponents of the pursuit of oil. This is why the policy of pushing “green energy” and renewables never made sense to me. Aside from discarding a lucrative natural resource we have in abundance and making it useless, we need people to need dollars. They need dollars for oil, not windmills. It’s almost like the left hand not knowing what the right hand is doing in government.

Funny, that’s the justification people use for abortion. “I find it cruel to bring a life into this world when they’ll be destitute/have no family/nobody will love them/have to live in Louisiana…etc. it’s not your role to play God. Maybe there is some lesson God wants these folks to learn, or teach their families.

Ask yourself how we’ve managed to rack up ~$40T in debt and we keep rolling along. It’s because of the world’s demand for US Dollars. Why do they continue to demand it? That’s right, they need it for oil. As long as they continue to need dollars, they’ll continue to buy our debt. If oil is denominated in some other currency, our lives and the quality thereof will collapse. All these folks complaining about waging war for oil ought to take a peek at what their lives will look like if the world no longer needs US dollars. They’ll be demanding war for oil faster than you can yell “Nazi!”
re: Type 2 Diabetes

Type 1 here, but read Dr. Bernstein’s “Diabetes Solution” book. It will change your life. I’ve had A1Cs in the 4.5 - 4.7 range for the last 22 years after I read his book. It was written for Type 2s but applies to Type 1s.

re: Advice: Can We Afford This House?
Posted by StreamsOfWhiskey on 1/9/26 at 5:03 pm to POCKET
My personal opinion is never buy a home that precludes you from Fully funding your savings goals. Opinions may vary, but that is how we’ve run our finances. Find a home that works for you and allows you to fully fund your retirement and investment accounts.
As far as any credibility I would have, my wife has been a SAHM my entire career and we have still saved sufficient to retire today and never work another day in my life, and I’m only just turned 53.
We live in The Woodlands/Conroe area and I work in downtown Houston. The commute sucks but you can easily meet your family’s needs without dropping $850k on a home.

re: What are your big 2026 financial goals?
Posted by StreamsOfWhiskey on 1/4/26 at 8:51 am to TheOcean
My only goal in 2026 is to not get fired from my job. That’s it. I do not have a great relationship with my boss and I have suffered because of this both emotionally and more financially.
My goal is to fully fund the 401k ($86,000, I believe this year or thereabouts), fund again my Roth and my wife’s Roth, and also fully fund the HSA. We have been doing this now for several years. If I can get through one more year it will allow us to further “feather our nest” and better prepare for retirement.
Money wise we’re good, but we don’t really have a plan for what to do once I’m retired (wife is SAHM). I need to think on that some more. We have two kids still at home but one will be leaving in August for school. Once she’s gone we will have my youngest still at the house entering her sophomore year of HS. The idea is to keep working until she’s out of HS for the benefits and health insurance but I don’t think I can make it that long.

re: Time to load up on O&G stocks?
Posted by StreamsOfWhiskey on 1/4/26 at 8:39 am to saintforlife1
My personal opinion is there are literally thousands of better investment opportunities than O&G stocks. Chevron has gone nowhere for the last 8-10 years. Sure there is a decent dividend yield, but putting your money into the S&P would have returned you far better than Chevron and I assume the other majors as well.

That guy has the voice and mannerisms down perfectly. Good to see that Christie’s heft played a role and is indeed good for something.

When we lived in Singapore, my wife had a miscarriage. Between discovery of inordinate amounts of blood, setting up an appointment with a doctor, seeing doctor, getting into a hospital room and a DNC completed took about six hours total. Those Singaporeans are nothing if not efficient.
re: I have no idea how BYU fields a competitive football team.
Posted by StreamsOfWhiskey on 12/27/25 at 6:34 pm to UncleRoll
That is not a requirement anymore if it ever was. I will soon have two daughters up in Provo attending BYU. There are many players on their athletic teams that are not LDS. They commit to the honor code and do have to take some religion classes but that is the extent of their involvement with the Church of Jesus Christ. BYU views their commitment to Jesus Christ far more seriously than any other religious school like Baylor, SMU, TCU, Notre Dame, etc. break the honor code, you’re off the team. I respect that.
As far as the other non-sensical takes on the “Mormon Jesus” I’d say that most LDS folks know the Bible as well if not better than folks from any other religion. We use the King James Bible just as much as the Book of Mormon. It may be convenient for you to dismiss them outright with this silly belief, but they put their money where their mouth is when it comes to faith. If you doubt, strike up a conversation with someone who is LDS. You’ll see their “fruits” are those of a God fearing/loving disciples.
As far as the LDS mission, missionaries can serve now at the age of 18. They return home by the age of 20 so could reasonably play at 20 and not 22 and 23 like most mention on this thread.
Jim McMahon was never LDS and resented the honor code he was expected to abide by, but apparently, abide he did and college football and the NFL benefitted from his acquiescence.

re: Killed some Sandhill Cranes Yesterday Morning

We go to Lamesa every year to hunt crane. It’s a fun time and west Texas has a ton of them. The meat is delicious and well worth the drive in my opinion.

re: Why wear camo to hunt from a blind?
Posted by StreamsOfWhiskey on 12/8/25 at 9:10 am to NatalbanyTigerFan
I hunted this weekend in the panhandle for Sandhills Crane in ground/layout blinds. I wondered the same thing. All my hunting companions were decked out completely in camo and I was wearing some solid green Kuiu pants and a brown jacket. I felt a little out of place but I don’t see the point of it when I’m laying in a coffin covered with tumbleweeds.
re: Does creatine supplementation and an high protein diet affect blood work numbers?
Posted by StreamsOfWhiskey on 11/25/25 at 12:07 am to 3HourTour
Yes, it can affect it. I’ve been eating low carb/high protein/fat for over 20 years. I also take creatine and I lift 5x/week. Stop the creatine a week before your test and I bet you will test normal. It will give off false positives.
re: Trumps poll numbers with independents have cratered. It’s bad.
Posted by StreamsOfWhiskey on 11/22/25 at 7:18 am to JackieTreehorn
Realize this comment is made tongue-in-cheek, but my concern all along has been the following: what has he done that will last, or get the American people to insist certain policies or actions endure?
Absolutely everything he’s done can be undone with an executive order of the new guy. Clear the nation out of illegals?? New guy lets them back in by the millions. Tariffs?? New guy takes them back to what we had before. Trump is failing as far as winning people over to his ideas to where Americans insist on those being the standard going forward.
Everything he’s done can be undone in a flash, and by making himself unpopular, you can bet his policies will be reversed by the next election. So what did he really accomplish??
