I’m using some fertilizer-Lomé fertilizer to get mine right while fertilizing.

Why do I need to sign a stamp that I received 6 weeks after the season closed?


If you don’t plan to use it for anything further, you do t need to sign it. :dunno:

Man, I thought exactly the same thing. I haven’t gotten the nerve to stsrt dropping season tickets yet, but man, I am close.

i am glad I don’t have any to renew tonight…..

He was not hurt that damn bad….


I think this class is historically weak. If I were someone like Chambliss, I would not miss this one!

So are yellow jackets….and I will wreck those bastards if I get a chance.
That seal is called a “wax ring”. It is not difficult to replace it unless the bolts holding the toilet down are corroded.

I have to wonder why that seal is leaking though, because I don’t think water generally stays on it. Has water been backing up anywhere else in your house?

I have found nowhere near as many problems when using it in a 2-stroke. Have never used in a 4-stroke.

The company I worked my whole career was very conservative. There were really no stated rules concerning the way you could dress, wear your hair, etc. but folks that didn’t conform to professional standards invariably found their way out of the company.

I think it rained at all but one home game Curley’s last year.


I remember it well! Me and my buds had a rule against leaving early. The rain, empty stadium and losing most games was a damn drag. I have had season tickets since that time and I still refuse to leave early!

Damn truth….I was at lsu during that time and those were the dark times of LSU football. They sold tickets in the west upper for $5 and it was still empty.

re: Local weather? Game delay

Look at the radar….you’ll see the thunderstorm that caused the delay. It was pretty wild….just popped up out of the blue.
It was not a disaster at all. There is so much luck involved in the sucess of any sports team that all coaching hires are hit-or-miss. The market dictates that you have to garantee long-term contracts with astronomical money nowadays in order to hire a competent coach.

He was paroled in 1981 and he started with the Home Improvement television show just 10 years later in 1991….pretty amazing turnaround!

Not sure that’s realistic. Doesn’t he know we had zero scholarship players just 5 years ago. That’s hard to recover from


I disagree…in basketball, there are so few players on the court (and the team) that a single player can make a massive difference in the whole season.
Not suprisingly to me at all. Everybody was piping all day when they were home for Covid. 9 months after, they all had kids and aren’t ready for a second round.
More typical politics at the expense of the American consumer…
Unless you can trim some limbs to get at least a little sun, you will have a tough time growing anything. I would plug some st Augustine and water it for the summer. St Augustine is a hell of a lot more vibrant than centipede

I tried the money clip thing and didn’t like it at all.

Currently have a bison leather made by Diluth Trading company. It is extremely durable but not overly complicated with all kind of compartments and such. I did opt for the bi-fold so it would be thinner vs the tri-fold. About $50.

Probably the last wallet I will have to buy! :lol:

Not true in my IBEW local. The payscale is the minimum pay. I know several guys that make more than their scale pay.



That’s great…and the way it should be, IMO. Some guys bust their asses and always come through in a crisis!

re: Jelly/Jam Tier List

Posted by Spankum on 3/29/26 at 11:45 am to
Mine is pretty close to the same…I would have to raise blueberry to tier 1 and move blackberry to tier 3.

I would also add Mayhaw at tier 2.
