Wouldn't even notice anything was special about them unless I saw it on social media.

We have one teenager and got rolled three times in one week. Not once was it not funny. I'll give it to some of them...one night, they got us while I was in the backyard drinking beer and watching football.

I never thought a service department would be the reason I avoided a make of vehicles but Banner Ford in Mandeville did just that. The incompetency of their service department was second to none.

More people are cremated now then ever in history and it's growing every year. More families are putting thought into the financial decision of what to do when someone passes rather than just doing what everyone else does. There is no need to rush anything, absolutely no need.
No experience or thoughts on that specific club but of all the major aspects of golf (tee / driver, approach, around the green and putting) I think chipping and pitching around the green is the easiest to get good at.

Just being adequate and handy with a 52, 56 and 60 doesn't take flexibility, swing speed or great detail in green reading (grain, etc) and for those mid to highs who miss alot of greens and will never find the swing speed to gain 40yds off the tee, it doesn't take a ton of talent and skill, just practice.

re: Ticket prices for UT

Posted by LSUfan4444 on 10/6/26 at 6:47 am to
It's the main reason I don't want to get rid of my season tickets I've had for 25+ years.

I sold all of mine except Texas and Bama this year at my cost and knew we could only make a couple games. For me to buy two tickets in our section for Texas and Bama would run me about $3000 right now.

Sure, I could wait, not know where I would sit, hope for prices to come down but I'd rather just renew the season and sell most of them and that sucks for people who want their own season tickets.

But, more and more people started gobbling up season tickets for the sole purposes of resale and then use the profits to increase their priority and philanthropic ranking to then be able to get more tickets, post season tickets, etc.

I am not generally in favor of heavily regulated business practices between individuals but Europe got it right on this one

I'm about to buy some red paint for the Beau Chene Oak Course.....every hole has white stakes everywhere!!!


The stakes should be on the other side of the ditch. It's maddening, esepcially on Oak.

Pulling one into the ditch left on Oak 12 should not be OB.

70.6 / 129 from the white
72.0 / 131 from the back

I'd be surprised if flights from Lisbon and Madrid weren't better to Rome


It's minimal. Dubrovnik is a little over $100, Lisbon is a little less, Madrid is the cheapest but it's not like Dubrovnik is $500.

quote:

I'd just spend your time in Rome,


Thats the thing...we don't want to spend it in Rome but the way the wife's vacation works, she has to take the entire week so it's either go somewhere else before we head to Rome or stay home. Daughter wants to spend a few days in NYC because she loves that place and I hate it.

Most of high end "technical" clothing for skiing is pre-owned. No issues at all with it.

I’m still trying to figure out the air travel on all of this


Was thinking of a Saturday (June 26) departure from MSY, arrival on June 27 in Dubrovnik. Then just an afternoon flight (they're around $100) from Dubrovnik to Rome on the 30th

Almost think you should consider Florence and then go by train down to Rome.



Awesome, I'll look into Florence and Slovenia
Next July, wife, daughter (16) and I will be taking a 7 night Greek Isles Cruise on Odyssey of the Seas and I am starting to plan what we do over there before we sail.

Once we disembark we will probably spend one night in Rome so looking to add some time on the front end to just make it a two week trip. We plan to arrive in Rome on June 30, spend July 1 and 2 seeing a few things in Rome, the third will be an "open day" and then we board the ship on Saturday July 4.

So, I was thinking about leaving MSY on Saturday June 26 and spend a couple days before heading to Rome.

My three choices came down to Lisbon, Madrid or Dubrovnik Croatia with a strong lean towards Dubrovnik. We want something very walkable, love the idea of the coastline and walking the city walls, the Game of Thrones aspect is cool but not a MUST DO. Since we only have a few days and have never been to either of the three I was thinking Dubrovnik might be a better fit for a relaxing, scenic, food/drink heavy couple of days but open to thoughts, feedback or suggestions regarding any three or others I may not have prioritized.

June 26 is the earliest we are able to leave so there is no way to really extend it beyond that.

The OT isn't much different. It's really just on a smaller scale.

People love posting something that gets traction. The endorphin dump people get from seeing their content get traction has become an addiction.
I can't imagine the lunacy of the person who made the decision to word $.12 cents and "double digits"

re: Path to a playoff

Posted by LSUfan4444 on 10/4/26 at 6:40 pm to
The path was always go at least 2-1 with Clemson, Ole Miss and aTm and then at least split Bama and Texas with no other slip ups in the other games you'll be favored in.
Owned by logic? What logic is that? The logic that everything I’m saying is irrelevant and doesn’t matter yet you and your boyfriend can’t stop talking about it?
I’m not defending the woman at all, I’m just not defending the boys. Big difference but I haven’t really given it any thought as to what morally corrupt action is worse.
quote:

Your own personal code of morality is completely irrelevant
if it’s so irrelevant why do you keep commenting? Why do you keep asking questions? Just download and move on or ignore it and move on. You and I don’t have to discuss the same thing for my view to be relevant or not.
Sorry, but I don’t give a shite what value you put on my personal views on the character of the boys in that room. If you don’t care, stop asking questions. Just down boat and move on.

I know you weren’t involved in yesterday’s conversation so I don’t expect you to know everything I said, but I’m not claiming to argue for or against their legal innocence or guilt
I don’t find it, particularly difficult to separate the legality and morality issue, but for some people, it is a bigger problem than it is for me.
quote:

Why is it their responsibility to protect her from willingly participating in sex?
same as I told you yesterday. Because the role of a protector, whether referring to the Bible or any thriving society in the history of our planet, is accepted by men of high character and morals. It is the responsibility of those men to protect themselves and others from harm, even when it means protect protecting them from themselves.

It’s not a responsibility that is accepted by those of low morals and weak character and that is my criticism of them.

Does it make them rapists. It does make them morally, corrupt and weak in character.
