Our state trade association PAC backed 1 candidate in governors race which was dumb they always give to both candidates. The other guy won. We all started getting sales tax audited which was a nightmare. I had to go through 3 years worth of invoices and sales receipts. The PAC gave to both after that.

I saw him at the Bayou Tavern in Tallulah. 1979ish. Asleep At the Wheel was with him. He had just had his appendix out and sang in a wheelchair.

CAB choice is the best around here. Certified Angus Beef seems very consistent and marbled well.

re: Shingles vax: Yay or nay

I had shingles about 10 years ago. I recently took the 2 shot regimen. Very odd but my arm got very sore after the first dose. It also was very red about 4inch diameter around injection site. Second shot was fine. I can't explain it but that was my experience. I'd definitely recommend getting the shots. The only reason I waited so long was our APRN at work told me not to get it because I'd already had shingles.

USFR and GSST yield around 4.75%. $8500 invested in them for 5 months will yield around $170. I guess the question is if that's enough to justify moving it to Schwab and back.

My HSA is with Lively. I keep 300ish dollars at Lively and the rest I sweep to Schwab. I keep my Schwab money that I want liquid in USFR and GSST. I just sell how much of them I need and switch it back to Lively as needed.
Yes an Old Timer Stockman I've had since I was a kid. I caught myself on the way to airport security in Memphis with it and saved it thankfully.

Rural Madison Parish 60's and 70's. We were on an 8 party line. 5 digit number/letters. My friends number was 897J1. Others on our line were 574R1,2, etc. I had the hardest time learning to recognize 2 rings which was ours. 1 lady listened in on everybody and would break in and ask if you wanted any tomatoes ,etc.. To place a call you picked up and the operator said "Number please" and you gave her the number.

Magic Chef. Igniters don't last long on it. I light them with a match.

re: Best rice: parboil or regular

Posted by bovine1 on 12/18/24 at 9:11 pm
I eat all kinds but prefer parboiled. Basmatti is really good too. I work across the street from our parboil plant at work. We also store cooked rough for them. It smells really good going down the conveyors. The boiler smells good when they are cooking too. It makes me hungry.

I like my AstroAls. I run them off my Hulkman. Bicycle tires and top off the cars tires.
