That's funny as hell. My 19yo son is a freshman at U of Ark and his listening age was 50 (I'm also 52) and mine was 48.

Went in early fall 2006, with my parents and grandparents. My paternal grandfather landed on Utah Beach, and my grandmother was a British War Bride and RAF veteran. As a Marine veteran it was surreal to stand on the beach with my grandfather and my dad (a National Guard and Army Reserve retiree). We crossed the channel on the ferry from Portsmouth, where my grandparents met in a Pub (that is sadly a parking lot now), to Caen. We stayed at the Lion d'Or in Bayeux. There was a good museum in Bayeux, and of course go see the Bayeux Tapestry. There are tiny museums everywhere, and my grandfather wasn't allowed to pay for entry into any of them, or for a meal at any restaurant. The cemetery in Colleville-sur-Mer is a must, and be prepared for the wind. I'm a pretty picky eater, so while breakfasts were fantastic, the dinner and supper choices were pretty suspect. We had an amazing 2-day tour but that was nearly 20 years ago, so I can't remember who with.

Individuals don't "contribute" to unemployment insurance. Businesses do, and the rates are based on payroll only, and don't adjust based on claims history or denials.

Me too! I thought I was "middle aged." Orvis has the best fitting pants I have found that fit appropriately over boots.

This choked me up. I'm going to have to order that book....

These games pay for all the non-revenue programs required by the misinterpretation of Title IX at those schools.

Not a "hoax" per se, just kids with nerf guns making poor decisions.

We got lucky with this. The ophthalmologist told my Dad that he just didn't have the peripheral vision to responsibly drive anymore. He didn't like it, but accepted it.

Agree 100%. TOPS/Higher Ed Funding Reform was unfortunately a "failure" for Bobby in that the schools and feckless media beat him on the messaging, and the Legislature didn't have the intestinal fortitude to actually require MERIT, because of the precipitous drop in minority qualifiers for each tiny incremental step up in requirement. A 20 ACT score and 3.0 GPA isn't indicative of any semblance of scholastic merit. Fantastic idea, disastrous implementation.

I’m going to go with the grammatical error in her statement.

There are two young men at the BR Orvis store who can hook you up when it comes to flies. Matt, the fishing mgr, or the young man from Birmingham who just graduated from LSU. Great guy I’m ashamed I can’t recall his name. They both happily FaceTime my fly fishing son in Little Rock and help him pick out seasonal bass, panfish, and trout flies.
