Wedding ring, collegiate class ring, and a watch. That's it.

Anything more, and you done caught the ghey.

I see the post below where someone questioning the need or desire for a watch. Having worn one all my life, and being 65, I'm used to having it, and would feel lost without it. But, especially among younger individuals, I can see your point about not having or wearing a watch as long as you have a phone.

Assuming you're correct, why keep him for one year? Why not start new with someone better?

I know a lot of you sing Baker's praises, but I don't see it. From being unable to slow down, let alone contain/stop a mobile QB, to unforgivable failures at critical times, I don't get why Baker is so highly regarded.

Is he better than who we had in '23? Yes, but that's like saying Baker won a race against a wheelchair bound quadriplegic.

Knowing that your wife was so busily practicing her craft (professional wine drinker), it sounds like letting her assist in the lasagna extraction process was an unwise decision on your part.

"Let's see; there's a heavy, soupy, lasagna that has to come out of the oven, and my sloshed wife, who may be having some equilibrium issues, wants to help. What's the worst that could happen?"

Or put another way, hindsight is always 20/20.

From a guy old enough to remember watching film strips in school, I have a tech question: what type of (?)projector(?) is needed to show something like this on a house? And, how is the video altered or programmed so that it only shows on the 2 peaks or gables of the house?

I'm very behind when it comes to this type technology, so in my mind, I'm thinking of a typical TV or video projection system in which images would be shown across the width of the house, including the shingles between the peaks.

I never saw The Revenant, but I found Birdman to be REALLY strange.

This clip strikes me as very odd as well, and the music in the trailer does nothing for me. So unless another clip or teaser saves the day, I think I'm gonna pass.

But with that said, mine is only one opinion. If you think you'll like it, see it. Hell, if you like it, see it a few times.

I didn't know it was possible to make a CAREER out of playing (or attempting to play) college football.

It's time for this young man to grow up and enter the workforce. And by that, I don't mean continuing to pursue a dream that is not going to materialize. Professional position, blue collar, whatever. Just do something so you'll be a productive member of society.

Good singer, very attractive, amazingly fit and toned for her age, and perhaps most surprising, NO tattoos!

Spoken from the opinion and perspective of a 65 year old geezer . . .

Given that the Mayo Bowl winning coach gets several gallons of mayo dumped on his head, I think I'd choose just about any other game.

Just my preference if I were a coach . . .

This crap, as you say, didn't start with Central, but with the Louisiana Legislature. 20-ish years ago, Central tried to form its own school system to escape the terrible EBR school system. When Central's proposal came to the legislature, lawmakers used the argument "they're not even a city" to deny the request, even though incorporation is not a constitutional requirement. Upon receiving this response, Central said, "Hold my beer, we'll be back shortly." So a new city, and eventually, a new school system were formed.

St George, to their credit, skipped the delay, and argument, of "they're not even a city," and went straight to incorporation. Now when St George proposes its own school system, the legislature will have no reason to say "no."

I don't blame parents, whether in Central or St George, for wanting the best for their children's education, and taking steps to make it happen.

We'll never know what may have been, but if the legislature had not taken the chicken $hit approach in refusing Central's school system, choosing instead to protect EBR's sacred, sacrosanct, and failing system, this entire budget fiasco might have been avoided.

Please direct your anger or dissatisfaction in the right direction . . .

In April or early May, I had a surgery known as TURP (Transurethral Resection of the Prostate). As I understood the procedure, excess tissue had grown into the channel or area in which urine passes, thus hindering my ability to pee. It sometimes took 3 - 5 minutes, and even then, my bladder did not feel completely empty.

My surgeon went in with a laser and zapped that excess tissue, and life's been good since then. The only real inconvenience was leaving the surgery center with a catheter, and having to use it for 3 or so days afterward.

Thank goodness for modern medicine, as something as routine and normal as trying to pee had become a miserable and frustrating experience.
