That episode of 60 Minutes where they showed the footage of Pelosi and Schumer "behind the scenes" from that day cemented that theory. Those mother frickers put on the show of all shows. They TOLD YOU they were going to do it and then executed it to perfection. ...

I was in a rental in Gonzales while my wife was in grad school and my entire family lost all of their shite in Katrina. This place and that thread gave me a nice break.

re: Greek & Lebanese Salad Dressing Recipe? UPDATE: RECIPE FOUND

Posted by Tigerdew on 8/7/23 at 12:45 am

Toum. That’s the word I was looking for. There’s a small pick up only place on the West Bank in Gretna called Sultans Shawarma Shack that has an outstanding toum they serve with everything. The consistency matches Albasha but that’s about it. That one is heavy garlic only. Albasha’s has way more dep...

I've been in the house for a few months now but the yard was honestly the last thing on my mind. I'd like to start to get it cleaned up. It's mostly junk right now. Tons of burweed and other shite I have no clue what it is. Suggestions would be appreciated. [img]https://i.ibb.co/MsLTKRH/IMG-8955....
