Crawfish popularity in Texas


Is the real reason why crawfish prices are always higher than we are accustomed to!

I would love this but they would first need to create a G5 playoff and a G5 champion. I'm all for that as well.


Sure everyone says they're for it, but no one will actually watch it which is why you don't have one. Instead you will get a 24 team playoff.

Go look at the Neilson ratings for G5 matchups and compare it to P4. Not in the same stratosphere.

More importantly, were you able to buy a home at the right time. If you did, it's a source of growing wealth forever. If you didn't, good luck with that part-time post-retirement gig.


I did! It was five times my salary when I bought it, and I was excited because it was at a historically low interest rate of 6.5%! I didn't have kids when we bought it, but some how a couple of years later I was able to put three kids through daycare and catholic schools.

Since then the house has almost doubled in value and since I've paid extra principle on every payment it will be paid off in a couple of years!

Watched the movie with kids (teens) this past weekend. Wife and I had the same discussion.

Could you imagine the outrage if that movie was released today!

LSU is quick numerous when it comes to millionaires


I would hope most college graduates are millionaires by the time they retire regardless of industry!

I know it's not close to being the case but it should be!

$300 a month over a 40 year career gets you there!

Yeah, it sucks that you can't comment too much on 52 SEC losses. It's generally a "shut up" narrative. They would never have thought that in anything else.


I don't necessarily disagree with you. I was just stating that I think I actually know him. Assuming the 72 in his account name is the year he graduated college and he does coastal work for LSU.
quote:

Absolutely ridiculous and a waste of taxpayer money. Yeah, he used the asset but he did work within the county, which positive I’ll affects the county. Clowns.


To make it worse he came from outside the county to help the citizens of said county. It's not like he used the county equipment for personal gain by clearing his own property.

I've figured out Jimmy works for AD. I'll offer my proof tomorrow. It's exact.


I've always suspected that he works at LSU and is an "old grad" from your favorite school!

Its been that way since they opened.

Because 'social studies' in school these days does NOT include geography but DOES include gender studies, learning how to protest (even if you have no idea what you're protesting), etc.


This pisses me off. My kids go to "Blue Ribbon" schools and never been tested on 50 states on a map, capitals, cities in LA, parishes, or countries in Europe. All of which I was tested on before high school.

And of course they are completely geographically illiterate. I've considered telling my son no more gas money until he can label the 50 states on a map.

substandard room


I stay their once to twice a month for work and find the rooms on par if not more comfortable than GN.

My biggest beef with them is you can't call down for valet to get your car as you leave your room! I know First World Problems
Bring back the Winn Dixie Classic. Guess we'll have to rename it though!

re: Converting to Judaism

Here's my guess at what's going on:

They won’t let me convert because I’ve decided that I want to convert for the powerful networking opportunities and connections.

lol I guess they are saying that some folks with a dead mother don’t want to hear about Mother’s Day but still a weird thing to send out.


Even worse, a wife who is struggling to have kids or a mother who has lost a child. Every year Mother's Day becomes a living hell for them!

She has Spina Bifida with co-morbidities of hydrocephalus and Chiari malformation. From research I know that impacts her executive function and also makes her startle reflex more sensitive, so it may be a bit more difficult getting her over it.


I'm assuming she sees an OT and or Speech Therapist regularly. They would probably give you better strategies in this area than a bunch of know it all Baws (myself included)!

I would stick with the professionals on this.

Was he as competent as some say he was?


I'm no where close to being a military historian but I once wrote a term paper on whether Rommel should have waited until the Germans gained control of the Island of Malta before the Battle of El Alamein and the answer was a resounding yes.

My guess is he's like Lee one of the most respected Generals of his time but historians will harp on his failures through the lens of hindsight to diminish his overall accomplishments.

Proves more and more the split was a teachers union thing and not a sports thing


Not trying to be argumentative could you explain why the teachers union cares about athletics? Is it because coaches are part of the union?

Not correct. You get 1 every 5 years for misdemeanors (with some exceptions) and 1 every 10 years for DWI.


Thanks for the clarification.

Louisiana We told him he had to pay it. Wondering if Louisiana has a program where he can attend a driving course or some such thing to help remediate the costs, especially to insurance.


Yes they do. Depending on where in LA you can csll the DA and negotiate it down to a nonmoving violation. Typically pay fine and they don't report it to insurance.

Get an Article 894


Don't use your 894. Im not a lawyer but have been told don't waste your get out of jail free card on a speeding ticket. Save it for something more serious like DWI.


ETA: Removed comment about only getting one Article 894

This= the minor. OP is asking what are the chances the guilty party is related to the victim.
