I am finding all kinds of wasps to be very bad this year. I have declared war!

I would call the dealership and ask them for a recommendation on a dealership that would work on it. Either that, or just be done with banner and find another dealership that will do it.

Sounds like a bunch of bullshite to me. Not sure whether I would try to contact the manufacturer or try another dealership, though.

The statement about not working on old trucks is patently ridiculous!

What has changed in the funeral industry in recent years that the amount of time between the death and the funeral has increased?

a while back, I was wondering this as well. I can think of a few reasons for it, but none of them are really valid. I suppose it really depends on priorities and preferences of the next of kin.

At 90 PSI, a Fluidmaster PRO45H fill valve should deliver roughly 3–4 gallons per minute (GPM) under typical installation conditions.

So, the typical toilet fill valve at 90 psig water pressure will only pass 960 gallons in a 4 hour period,

4 GPM X 60 Minutes X 4 hours =960 gallons

I would simply drop some hint that you know he is doing it. After all, you just want it to stop, right? Don’t get confrontational or anything like that,

re: Are there realtors who specialize in helping you repair a house to sell?

Is that a thing? I saw one guy advertised as a contractor-realtor but it looks like he builds million dollar homes and sells them himself

Kind of a conflict of interest, IMO. Since realtors get paid as a percentage of total, they would rather drive up the cost of the hose before they sell it through remodeling costs.

I am not local, so I can’t recommend contractors, but I can vouch for the effectiveness of expanding foam for that application, it works marvelously well.

I didn’t realize that Trump had anything to do with his execution. That responsibility lies with the judicial branch of the government.

Absolutely true….because the voters of Louisiana historically would rather have leadership that is interesting and had character instead of focusing on what is best for the state and its economy.

Widespread corruption has historically held Louisiana back.

We assembled one of the best rosters in cfb this offseason. Fans, coaches and media agree with this.

We have one of the best (if not the best) coaching staffs in the country.

All true….but the hesitance was whether they could jell and play together as a team on such short notice. I think we can safely say Kiffin has accomplished that!

Now the only thing holding us back is injuries. We have some really high-profile players injured that I honestly don’t think will be back this season.
