Women are dumb

I get all of my thoughts and opinions from TD, like a man
if you believe a person is living in sin, and your goal is to save that person from that sin (I assume), shunning them seems like the worst way to accomplish that goal

but thats just me and my moron brain :dunno:

Why can't people just kick back, root for the home team and have fun?


because their brains are broken

there was a handful of the usuals that openly rooted against the USA in the last few Olympics because 1 or 2 of the athletes said things they didn't like

so they decided to root against the other 300+ athletes too

then honestly whatever backpack you want

I guess, is it worh getting anything other than a academt type backpack or is their something out there that will hold up longer


if you want to spend $200, you can get a backpack that will hold up longer than your standard Academy bag

Eberlestock, Badlands, Mystery Ranch, etc all make good day packs

Are you using it to carry sticks or anything?

He told me to go full court press on the haynesville Nat gas guys because their breakeven costs are sub $1.50 per mcf.


breakeven for Haynesville is still in $2.50-$2.80 range

Sissys in Hinestone, La


I was coming to post Sissys

and its Hineston. No "e".

I'm watching. The OU/UGA game last night was great.

Its much less stressful when you don't care who wins and just enjoy the game.

Is Finnegan's Wake still downtown? That was my hangout when me and the wife were dating.

Is there a decent local coffee shop? I WFH, but sometimes I need a place to post up for a few hours away from the house.

Going to be a comprehensive quality of life downgrade across the board from where you’re coming from.


We wouldn't be doing if that were true :lol: We are moving from a city to 30 acres with a pond. The house also has a pool (the main thing my kids are excited about). The property is surrounded by Kisatchie on 3 sides. Our only neighbors will be my parents.

Its a downgrade from an amenities perspective, sure, but I'm hoping myself and my family can find peace and enjoyment of the simple country life. A little pond fishing. A big garden. Spending quality time with Mawmaw and pawpaw.

This Ben Sasse interview where he talks about family compounds really resonates with me

Would pass through Alec and just North of the city someone built thus huge complex called "Cowboy Town" or something like that, but it seemed to never open or if it did, it was it wasn't for long.

What the hell was it, and what happened to it?


It was supposed to host rodeos, concerts, etc and have shopping. It failed miserably.

Pretty sure it is a Lowes distribution warehouse now.

I wouldn’t mind living out on 28 heading west.



my one positive is that, if there is any growth in Alex, it is happening towards 28W, which is a good thing for us

if they would build a Super Target that way my wife would be very happy

Maybe try moving there.


We already have the house and land. Its in the country.

Alex will just be the closest "city" for us to do things.
I also forgot about Country Day. Add that to our options for my youngest.

I would love to see Alex turn it around and offer some good schools.


Me too :lol: but unless your kids attend a true ghetto school or some elite private school, I firmly believe that family structure and stability are better predictors of success than which school they attend

I think the economics & employment options make things challenging, amongst other things.


I have no illusions that Alex going to get better. Neither me nor my wife ever thought we would move back. But priorities change.
