re: Best Tasting Texas Exotics?

Hopefully, Rize will see this thread…..he is in a club in south Texas where there a bunch of exotics.

Not thrilled to go to this blue lib state


Damn bruh, they aren’t going to force you to vote liberal while you are there….just forget your politics for a few minutes and enjoy one of OUR most beautiful states. Actually, outside of a few cities/towns Colorado is a pretty conservative area. All of Colorado to the east of Denver is flat land and farming country.
I am 61 years old and have been called once in my life. I think I would enjoy the experience.

Because there is already a system CFO. It's a duplicate position



Makes sense….so, I assume no other school the LSU system has a CFO?
As much as it pisses you off, you stand only to lose more by making a big deal of it. Go on with your life like it didn’t happen and don’t devote another thought to this.
My question: how the frick do you lay off your CFO? Seems to me like that’s a very important position when you are facing budget cuts…
I have a couple of questions:


- If you took the new position at work, would you like the work and those that you work with?

- do you like your current job and those that you work with?

- how certain is your business to succeed (overwhelming majority fail)

Apparently, family time is not that important to you….since both of your proposals would severely limit that.

I honestly don't understand why anybody would live anywhere with an HOA


When I was looking for a home, I invariably found myself attracted to neighborhoods with very strong covenants enforced by a HOA. So I bought in just such a neighborhood.

You just have to read the covenants beforehand and if you don’t like them, don’t buy there.:dunno:

That's Sorghum or Milo probably from bird seed and it will regrow if you let it got to seed


Agreed that is a very healthy Milo plant. If you could grow a field of them just like that, you could make some money!

I was thinking, those aren’t bad salaries at all…until I saw the tiny note that specifies thst it is the “mid-career median wage”
Hope you don’t take this the wrong way….but this sounds like he is shooting you a line of BS in hopes that he can sell you a new unit.
What you are saying is kind of confusing….is it leaking water or is it leaking refrigerant?

If water, I would just find the leak and plug it. If it is leaking Freon, that is a different story.

Louisiana during the Wild West days?


I think the actual “Wild West” days were Turing the Mid - late 1800’s. So, immediately after the civil war there was military occupation and reconstruction were going on. Carpetbaggers everywhere….

Don’t know anyone that has won one, but those that are in my area (Madison or Flowood, MS) have been some damn fine homes. I have toured them a couple of times and buy a ticket every year.

That’s what I have always done as well…never lasts even an hour! :lol:
Those are generally “micro doses” and they contain very little of the medicine that they are supposed to represent…
Should have put it in her arse, like they told her! :lol:
