Donna Douglas on "The Twilight Zone" before she played Elly Mae Clampett.

She was a beauty.

Just think, If Jaemis Winston would have gotten that kind of money at FSU, he wouldn't have had to steal those crab legs.

Ridiculous what they are paying college players and making it very difficult for teams to keep the same roster as long as star players are on a team.

Ah, just one of the many downsides of mixed marriages.


I watch a good bit of true crime shows and am never surprised how many young white women who get involved with black men wind up dead.

If that was a real life marriage, she'd probably rate pretty damn low.

She didn't work outside---------or inside the home. Didn't clean house, cook, sat around all day eating Bon-Bons while watching TV and buying useless crap off of QVC.

She was an awful role model as a parent, especially to her daughter when she often sexualized her by encouraging trashy behavior and equally trashy clothing. There was no constructive guidance and little to no moral compass displayed by her.

She constantly ridiculed Al for his job and lack of income, made fun of him as a lover and sucked the life out of the guy at almost every chance she had.

Yeah, she was a peach........... :lol:

I don't know about Texas, but here in La. you can go to one of those non-DMV places and get a driver's license or state ID renewed and it's a piece of cake. No long lines, quick service and just a bit more than the DMV charges that I find more than reasonable to not have to deal with the BS of the DMV.

If you find such a place near you, give them a call to see what they need to complete the process.

I know a couple of folks from Iowa and we all had a laugh about how flat our states are with me being from Louisiana.

I made the comment "My state is so flat I can watch my dog run away for a week" and he and his wife laughed and agreed they could do the same.

Greatest: Self-promotor since P.T. Barnum.

I hated the way he shite all over Joe Frazier before their first fight.

Do the plumbing drains just happen to fall out where you want them? Seems hard to believe.

Add to that, 35 years of drains being exposed to the elements----leaves, dirt, etc. and no telling how clogged they'd be to start with.

If you're set on building a house on that exact area, why not think about putting up a raised house using the old slab as the foundation to put the piers on. The outer part of the slab should have a concrete footing much thicker and deeper than the slab used for living area.

You could have a structural engineer check it out to see if that is feasible or not.

I don't see anything wrong with it. Every time I see it on TV I think how great it looks and how it looks up to date.

New Orleans looks great on TV when, during games, the network pops in 10 second shots of areas of the city, the Garden District, Streetcars on St. Charles, the French Quarter and steamboats along the river. They don't show the housing projects, Lower 9th Ward, Gert Town areas of the city, streets lined with potholes and litter.

This is my go-to for beef jerky.


I use eye of round for the meat and prefer to cut it across the grain and not with the grain. I find it is easier to chew and less stringy when done when cut that way.

Cut the meat in pieces about 3/16 in. thick and with most nice pieces of eye of round, that will yield between 45-50 slices.

For seasoning I use the following:

Slap Ya Mama
Black Pepper
Garlic Powder
Soy Sauce
Worcestershire Sauce
My homemade habanero sauce

I don't measure anything so you'd need to go with your gut if using any of the above. What I do is after seasoning and mixing the meat well to make sure it is all covered, I will tear off a few thin pieces of the raw meat and give it a taste and if it needs adjusting, go from there.

After seasoning I will put the meat in the fridge to marinade overnight. The next day I will smoke it until done. I used to just use my dehydrator but using the smoker gives it another dimension of flavor the dehydrator can't come close to.

If you insist on using a dehydrator, I'd suggest adding a little Liquid Smoke to the above seasonings. Just be careful when adding it since it is a very strong product and a little goes a long way.

Confederate ironclad

Started out as a Union steam frigate that the Union attempted to scuttle to keep it out of Confederate hands but the rebs save it and made it into an ironclad.

That is also the name of a river in Mass.
