And I’m guessing you will be rooting for Iran.
These people aren't rooting for anything as they have no deeply rooted beliefs. All they know is it somehow makes them feel validated (dopemine) when DJT fails at anything.

OP, let us know when Trump gives the order to start a war. All he's done so far is to initiate discussions for peace. Otherwise, go get your banners ready for Saturday and your little protests (which won't get any coverage now).

It takes longer to drive from Tiptonville, TN to Key West, FL,
Yeah, driving down from the East coast after work, hours and hours, headed for South Florida and you finally get past Jax. Just south of 295 is a sign that says "Miami 331". Dayum, not even close.
Newsome is pissed at his staff that they didn't think about this first.

Thank you Lord for allowing me to live a charmed life.

Boomer alert ===> I've only bought a new car once and an auto loan once, back in the '90s. Currently have (7) cars / trucks and (1) MC in my stable.

Yeah no. And with a few tweaks, Foxbody Mustangs could move. They opened a huge "tuner" aftermarket that still exists.

You won't get any argument out of me.

Had one of these as I was graduating LSU. Had the 150 horse marine 5.0, a two barrel, 3:08 differential, and a four speed where forth was overdrive. What a pig this thing was...a deer took it out of it's (and my) misery.

I will say that Mustangs did re-emerge with better power options in the latter part of the 80's, but nothing to compare w the 70's.

Jeez Shorty, a downvote would have sufficed. Pro tip, keep your weird fantasies to yourself.
For classics, not necessarily "cowboy / Indian" I'll add:
High Plains Drifter
The Shooting
Jeremiah Johnson
Butch Cassidy and Sundance Kid

All you youngsters listing Tombstone...I've tried to watch that several times. OMG it is sooooooo bad. It's unlike any other "classic" western. I will say that Powers Boothe's character makes it somewhat tolerable. For me there's too many stars peacocking for screen time.

Will they have a weight filter for women?
Since this has been asked about 10 times: No, they won't. OLD apps will not intro features that hurt women. They need women on their sites to bring in the men. Otherwise they are out of business with the quickness.

re: What/Where is your HAPPY PLACE?

I have a few:
1. Riding around on my Kabota on the farm, using the grapple, the bushhog, the box blade, the loader, etc.
2. Slinging mud on my Jeep's and ATV's.
3. Paddling and fishing a Virginia river.

re: Arizona vs UNC

Posted by chrome_daddy on 6/6/25 at 2:21 pm
Arizona had 2 runs on 10 hits. Weren't able to string them together.

It's a strategy. Now if UNC blows them out tomorrow, oh well.

Hell no. Don’t dig the linebacker body style. Thought she was nauseating in American Pie, one of the reasons I didn’t like that movie.

Give me Dean Wormer’s wife any day over that pig.
When I started driving a Wrangler. Would leave the mud slung all over it from the weekend. Park with the top down next to the sparking clean luxury cars at whatever Fortune 100 company I worked for at the time.
You have company with this crazy batch I dated years ago who worked for Dominion Power.

I asked her, why do you insist on backing into every parking spot, including your garage? She told me they tell you to do so in case of a large scale power outage or other incident. Something about saving time it takes to get to the office.

I'm like, "but you are in HR".

I'm not poor. My shop has a lift, a big screen, and a 1200 watt Yamaha. I've been working on my cars since I worked in a shop as a teen.

I do my own brakes, consider that basic maintenance for a car. Also oil changes, plugs, AC, exhaust, etc. I keep the cars clean with coatings that protect the paint/clear.

As a result of my efforts, my high school car is in my possession and in working order.

Do your own brakes, nothing to it.

That's the problem with buying commercial gummies, you have no idea what's in them.

I have no doubt that you'd like my sativa brownies. They don't give you "couch lock", but actually energize you. And just make you feel good all over. I use low dose as I don't do much myself. My buddy who has chronic back pain loves them. They are non-toxic unlike alcohol so there's no hangover.

Thank you Lord I chose to live in Virginia. My last three plants (Green Crack) made 23 ounces. All legal.

This. Bought in a few years ago before the first FSU game. Listened to all the podcasts (like Josh Pate), read all the content. Genuinely fired up for college football. Then the game happened and Poof.

I know, I know, I’m acting spoiled and entitled. But I just want to see an LSU football team play up to their potential. Haven’t seen that yet consistently under Kelly.
