Blue heeler dog. No more wildlife in yard ever.

Mine and my daughter, whose spirit animal is this heeler, both calmly watched a snake a few feet from them make its way across my garden and yard a couple weeks ago. The girl knew it was a garter snake, so ok. The dog did NOT. I am disappoint that she let a snake get close to her girl.

Interesting about guineas. Never thought of them as snake defense. Our neighbor at the camp has a flock that spends every morning in our front field. We stopped seeing snakes about four or five years ago. Between guineas (apparently), owls, hawks, and barn cats, our rodent and snake population has dwindled a lot.

Oak Point in Watson — its what a finger sandwich should be.

There was a miscommunication last time I ordered though, when I requested ham, turkey, roast beef, and pimento cheese sandwiches. My roast beef sandwiches ended up WITH pimento cheese. I think someone did not use the proper Oxford comma on the order form. It was bizarre…but not terrible.

I, too, miss Southern Belle, rat tails and all.

In a thread about Woody Harrelson and Matthew McConaughey possibly being brothers, someone asked in reference to MM’s mom: “ Wouldn’t she know if Woody Harrelson came out of her?”

I was in a dentists waiting room at the time, and embarrassed myself laughing.

It just hit me right. But I chuckled even now.

Lol! I see your point. But no..Im not Renee the baker who owns Sugar Pop, and sadly do not live on the Coast.

Sugarbaker is solely a Designing Women reference. Chose it while watching the show and needing a screen name.

Agree with recs for Anthonys for more upscale Italian, Mockingbird for breakfast, Thorny Oyster for dinner and brunch.

I also agree with Jourdan River Steamer being worth the trip to Kiln.

We ate lunch at Rickeys on Coleman in Waveland on the way in last time and enjoyed it very much. Then bought dessert at Sugar Pop Bakery.

How sad to hear. One of the things I always noticed about Dolly was how very comfortable she was on stage. Professional to a tee, but just laid back and relaxed at all times.If Dolly appeared onstage, the crowd was in good hands.

She also seemed to be one of the few celebrities who was just universally esteemed.

I bought a side for the freezer, but as it dwindles I will supplement from sales at the local AG supermarket. Always some sort of roast and steak on special, and usually ground beef around $4/lb.

I can believe this.

Anecdotally, my close family (1st cousin or closer) has seven young men between 21-36. The oldest is married with two toddlers. The youngest is engaged. The other five…no intention of getting married any time soon, it appears.

Meanwhile of the three young women we have in the same range, only one is married and the other two are living with men who wont marry them. This is notable…the WOMEN want to get married and the men are just like “no thx. If it aint broke why fix it? ” and the women, though not completely happy about it, dont leave.

The five single men dont seem particularly disenfranchised from society. One is in the military, the others have steady jobs and a couple own homes. They all like women and date. They just seem happy with the status quo.

I have always been a Folgers advocate. Never liked Community much, but I am sold on Community Dark and Bold Intense. No chicory, not bitter, just dark.

I have not tried the Dark and Bold Exxtra Boost or Espresso, but dont feel the need to stray from Intense.

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 three months later, married within the year. Married 61 years. One precocious and precious child (moi) born 6 years in.
