I don't think I remember any discussion of a fine.

The OU radio guys talked about the Sooner fans rushing the field as if it had never happened before in Dallas.  That doesn't make it true--that talk was right after the game was over, amidst all the hubub.

Interesting. I just watched a Fox Pregame show where they were talking about the history of Bevo. The head silver spurs guy stated that they weren’t sure where Bevo got his name but it was thought to be a offshoot of the plural beef, which is Beev, and then they added the o.  Never heard that one before. I’ve heard about the Bevo beer and of course the A&M 13-0 branding story.

Does Texas now officially have 4th-quarter problems?

wow you do have a lot on your plate

sounds like you need to prioritize your problems

older brother number one IMHO

If you need a cash infusion for the business dont fall prey to some investment crooks that are out there

maybe small business loan might be the answer get to know your banker very well

when you do this have a plan dont just jump into it

as far as sleep goes thats just your brain working on problems for a solution
thats fairly common

I retired a few months ago, my life is stress free at the moment.  But, I still wake up ai 3 or 4 am and then struggle to get back to sleep.

Hang in there, wish you well.

Is selling the family business and option?

Get the younger brother a different job?  Jobs are plentiful

hopefully the older brother comes around.  Divorce can shake things up, but hopefully he gets it out of his system.

I’ve been talking to him for awhile about it. He at least acknowledges he needs help but he won’t admit he needs to go to rehab. He tells me that rehab is for losers and he’s nothing like those people.

you got the first step, at least to a degree

some strong minded folks can do it w/o rehab

they have other good people in their lives they can lean on, perhaps you and younger brother, perhaps another good woman

Good luck

Watched Dune last night.  The movie is really well done but I was bummed to find out it was only half the story even though it was 2 hrs and 35 min.  Worse is that they haven't even done the script for the second half yet and it would be 2024 at best for part 2 to come out.
After spending yuuuge bucks for the sets (and sandworms!) you would think they would have done the second part while they were there.  LOR and the Hobbit did all three parts at the same time.
Dune looks to be a financial winner but this looks like they are going to kill the momentum it has going.

I haven't seen it, and probably won't, as we just don't go to many movies anymore.

In the popup ads on the www, the Paul Atreides character looks like a hermaphrodite.  Not that there's anything wrong with that.

But I don't know why these film adaptations of Dune (I'm thinking also of the 1984 version by David Lynch) seem to need that character to be of ambiguous sexuality.  Kyle MacLachlan is a "pretty" boy in that one.  (That does seem the norm for David Lynch from what little else of his work I've seen.)

In reading Dune, Dune Messiah, Children of Dune, and enough of God Emperor of Dune to know that I had had enough, I never thought that Paul Atreides was anything other than an unambiguously straight male.

Or maybe that was there but it was just too subtle for me.
