The oil is incredibly powerful. It's in gel caps because it will burn like crazy uncapped.

Powerful, hot, aromatic burps afterward. Great stuff, highly recommended.
CLR will not work in Baton Rouge. Makes a dent, but that's all. Calcium and lime are not an issue in our water. Silicates are.

If you're patient, you can wear off the stains with Diamond Magic on 0000 steel wool. Order from ABC window cleaning supply.

Vine's in Centreville MS has a selection at their store. Heavy, quality stuff
In San Diego with the fam, waiting to board a Southwest flight back to New Orleans. We had our seat cards, in line, when an announcement at the gate said there was an incident in New York and boarding would be delayed.

I went to a lounge with a TV. Lounge was full of military. The reaction of soldiers when we saw the second plane hit was...grim.

We were stuck in San Diego for around a week.
Had a long-time employee that wrestled this circuit (Houma, South Louisiana, etc) under the name of Nick Bondage.

Hard to imagine him with that persona. He was friendly, outgoing, soft-hearted,

Alas, he drank himself to death. Sad story.
Thread made me think of my parents, who bought the house of my childhood in 1956. Paid $9,000. Zillow says it's current estimated value is $1,840,00.

:ahh:
Silas grew up across the street from us. Excellent kid from an excellent family.

I remember he won a Jeep for winning a competition when he was 14 or 15. Sold it and banked the money.

Heard those chains rattling for years...

Brooklyn, New York, New York.
I think 16-17k might be in the neighborhood.

Trane and AS are the same
No specific recs, but Northern NH is so beautiful. Further south will be overrun with leaf-watchers that time of year.

That part of the state is MAGA.
The sad fact is that the proliferation of Flock and other cameras is inevitable as long as the criminal element is on the prowl.

Our country needs a spiritual revival. A free people can remain free only when they are also a moral people.

Who can unlock my T-Mobile phone in BR?

Samsung S23. Bought at a T-MOBILE store. T Mobile is willing but they ran into trouble. Not sure what. I paid cash when I bought it.

Anyway, hoping someone in BR can do this

Friend's daughter works there so we accompanied him and his wife.

Wow! Best meal in a very long time. BBQ shrimp was fantastic, meatballs, fish, everything. Highly recommended

Home school. It's not that hard and it's very rewarding.
Tree-Fiddy??!!

50 cents back when, and occasionally 34 cents.

When I was kid at military school I could buy a CARTON of Camels for $2. TWO DOLLARS.

I quit in '88

I turned 18 in 1972. My heart sunk when the lottery was drawn for that year.

I drew a 6. I was going.

But Nixon ended the draft before I was called up. Phew.

No way should both the Beaumont area and the Lafayette region be double the size of LC. Especially considering the refining capacity and natural resources but here we are.


Amazing, this.

When I moved to LC in '78, Lake Charles was roughly the size of Lafayette. Metro area actually bigger.

Now...

Solidly on the old guard.

Happened to me in Baton Rouge. Cops identified the Old Hammond substation as the problem. Somebody in the station copped the checks, went to the "washer" . Got over 13k on that one. Bank made it good.

The crackerbox my parents bought for $9k in '56 is showing on Redfin at over 1.9 million. Nuts.
