At college in Hammond at the Methodist Student Union. Both were Baptist, but the Methodists had a pool table.

Mom’s roommate had a crush on Dad’s roommate, so dragged Mom with her to the MSU where Dad and his roommate were playing pool.

To my knowledge the roommates never went out. Girl was kind of homely.

My parents, however, started dating that weekend, were engaged four months later, married within the year. Married 61 years. One precocious and precious child (moi) born 6 years in.

My parents both loved peanuts in Coke. Small glass bottle coke, little bag of salted peanuts. Both born early 40s in Louisiana. He lived in BR, she is from the sticks.

They got me to try it when I was little. It was ok.

Never heard it called a farmer’s coke, but it was definitely a thing.

Not the a-hole. You were more patient than I would have been. Please tell me you told the doctor his receptionist’s attitude and office staffs’ ineptitude cost him a patient.

When I lived in Baton Rouge I was called like clockwork every 2 years. Literally as soon as I could legally be called, I was. Meanwhile my husband, mother, and father were never called during the decades they lived in BR.

I have been called once in the 25 years since I left.

Dont tell me that shite is random.

I don’t see how anyone can watch Rhaenyra crying and snotting her way through the execution, having to get her hands dirty for the first time, and think “girl boss”

I just rewatched and realize what I did not like the first go-round…and its basically this^^^.

There is no girl boss energy here. (Not that I want GBE at all, but I would like to see a glimmer of the girl who killed the boar and sauntered into camp covered in blood.) While I appreciated a subtle callback to Viserys’ slow and painful walk to the throne, she didnt own it when she got there. Half dead, he was more regal and was ready to scrap if needed.

Daemon is making everything possible and essentially giving her permission at every turn here. Which is fine with me…I am fully Team Daemon. For now.

I know she’s grieving and all, and Otto is a major figure from her youth, but this is why youre there…look like you deserve it.

And Alicent needs to calm down. She already conceded to R that she knows killing Aegon was necessary. This is the dynamic she chose and she had to know heads will roll. Literally. Eventually.

I am hoping the expression on R’s face at the end was some stiffening of the sinew.

One of the best episodes, imo.

I love Oak Point. Will be there today. It is high af. I shop their sales, and then other odds and ends. But I don’t do my big shopping there.

Rouses is a little far from me, so not as familiar, but I think they arent as expensive as OP.

Aldi in Central and Denham are worth a visit to me, too, and their prices are good.

I hate seeing dragons fight.

Why?

To clarify…I hate seeing them fight each other and hate seeing them die.

As a poster said above, its like seeing a dog die. Plus, considering what state they eventually come to…it seems a terrible waste.

Used to be bubble gum or lime when I was a kid. Now either spearmint (especially when it is really hot) or classic cherry.

Well…now there’s a plan for a trip to the local stand this afternoon.

Electric. By a good bit.

I was in GT from 4th-8th in the early 80s. Have the freckle, have the scar, had the testing.

But Im psychic and knew what those frickers were up to.


(Honestly, had the scar since 1st grade, have a lot of freckles, the testing was done at LSU in the fledgling days of the program. Conspiracy is BS.)
