I've had these so long I can't remember where I got them.

She's fine as frog hair.

He has neither.

I think it comes from his dad dying when he was 8yr old.

About half our young adults are on anxiety, depression, ADD/ADHD meds


Forgot to mention they've had the 19yr old on Zoloft. She stopped using it and apparently her anxiety came back. I told them to find other types of help, exercise, activities, something besides popping pills.
The flight. A combination of motion sickness and nerves.
Yep. Both of them are still home.
24yr old and a 19yr old.

Last week my cousin met us in Charleston SC with her 19 yr old. They were planning on staying 5 days. They left after 2 days because the 19yr old was having anxiety. Drove 7 hours to stay 2 days. Cousin told me later that her 19 yr old finished the last 2 months of her senior year of HS from home. She's taking online community college classes now because being around people is too much.

The 24yr old flew from Louisville to Dallas this past Thursday with a connection to LAX for a pharmacy school function. She got to Dallas and couldn't make herself get on the 2nd flight. This was her 2nd flight, first alone. She and my cousin concocted a plan for her to rent a car and drive from Dallas to my house in B'ham, AL, my cousin would drive down from KY to take her to the Louisville airport to get her daughters car, then drive back to Harlan KY.

Then yesterday, the 19 yr old called and asked for her parents to come get her from Richmond KY, where she had drove herself to visit a friend going to school at EKU. She couldn't bring herself up to drive home. Said the traffic in Richmond KY was too much.

I told my cousin that she has to stop rescuing her kids. They aren't learning to fight through adversity and overcome fears when you keep saving them. She agreed and said it was their daddy was the one coddling them. :lol:

Insanity.
I think this clip gives it a run for it's money.

Lestoil. Can be hard to find in stores depending on where you are so I order mine online. Been using it for years. My kin recommended it to me. My aunts use it for washing coal mining and mechanic clothes.

We had white girls fighting each other in class at Harlan High School in KY in the 80s my man. Harlan "city" girls not county girls as one might expect.
Radio callers here in BHAM are saying the guy is/was in the military and his girl got pregnant while he was overseas, so the kid isn't his, and that she emptied his bank account leaving him broke. I have no idea if any of that is true.
Thanks for the reminder. Yep I see it. Clear sky in Bham. There were 6 deer bedded down in my front yard until the eclipse started then they got up and walked off.

Does anyone use these and if so what brand or size would you recommend for deer or hogs? I'm tired of pulling carts and sleds. I hunt WMAs in AL. We cannot use ATVs to retrieve. Thanks.

Most coal mines in the 70s and 80s only gave 1 week a year vacation to everyone at the same time - 4th of July week. Whether you wanted off at that week or not, didn't matter, you were off that one week of the year.

I'd rather have today's flexibility as far as time off is concerned.

1st hog

First time hunting Lowndes WMA in AL and I shoot a hoss. I caped him for a mount. His head alone weighs 50 lbs.

Several guys I know said a hog this size and stink level wasn't worth cleaning for eating. Is that correct?
