Does healrh insurance pay for anti venom?


Really not sure and don’t hope to find out.

Could be off here but I remember seeing a vial of antivenom runs around $10k
One of my friends wife got tagged by a moccasin walking down the steps of their lake house. She had to have a lot of anti venom and the bill was huge.

I recently learned that India has over 50k snake bite deaths per year. That was a wild stat to me even knowing they have extremely venomous snakes over there

I’ve been just looking around the last several years for a 1998 two door Tahoe. One day I will get one as it’s one of my attainable dream vehicles. There was a really nice one in Pelham a couple years ago with around 80k miles for $25k. It was a unicorn as most I see are all beat to hell

I see those 90’s Chevy trucks all the time though. The sweet spot for GM trucks was 95-06 imo. Right before they started with the cylinder deactivation crap. Those older 5.3’s and 5.7’s from the 90’s were great engines

Is it still worth going to Jersey Mike's? When they got bought by private equity I assumed they wouldn't be any good any more.


Like most chains just depends on the location. One near my house is terribly run and not good but the one near my office is still solid with a good staff

For my answer to OP I bounce around depending on what I’m feeling. Club supreme mikes way, turkey provolone mikes way or the Philly cheesesteak.

The Germans never had the capability of crossing the channel and “capturing” the UK. Maybe a peace deal

My dad and grandparents lived in Gulfport at the time. Grandad worked for MS power. My grandmother had kept a few Hurricane balls from Camille. I wonder if we still have them somewhere. Looked like an tumbleweed

Good stuff from Polk.

I know some maybe thought there was animosity between them through the years and some of Skip's quotes about Starkville but like Polk mentions they were very close friends.

RIP Skip.
Lebby needs to get to 6 wins. 7 would be great and require a couple upsets. Hell, getting to 6 would require small upsets too but it’s doable

With a dynamic QB like Taylor and an improved roster and defense coordinator we need to look competent and be one of those middling teams that plays hard and not get blown off the field.

I love Lebby’s offense and he’s proven to be a good evaluator at the skill positions but this is a line of scrimmage game and we’ve been bad at OL/DL during his tenure. Really need to shape that up.

Hail state bitches.

Congrats to us, Alabama, Georgia, LSU and Texas for being the only AP #1 SEC teams since 2014. Pretty set in stone big 5 imo
He was also in house of Guinness and did really well imo

re: It’s time for a new/used Tahoe

Have a 2018 with 133k. Been a great vehicle and have had no issues so far. Great road trip car for the family. Mine has the 6 speed transmission and it’s been good but I’d imagine im well over half life for it. I’ve read online some of this year range to be well over 200-300k with the AFM deactivated and transmission fluid/filter changes every 50k~

I actually prefer my model year interior to the newer ones. I have a small screen for CarPlay/navigation but plenty of buttons and knobs plus a good column shifter. I’ve drive some of the newer ones and don’t like the button shifter or the newest one in the 2024+.

My buddy did this and hated the Land Cruiser. He thought he was going to like it but after a while he wanted something bigger. He does have two kids though. He’s back in the Tahoe

re: What is Your Ancestry?

Posted by Mstate on 8/7/26 at 2:57 pm to
100% Northern European. Mostly scotch-Irish, English, Scandinavian (Finnish) with a dash of German.

I’m old stock on my father’s side. Direct surname ancestors fought in the revolution and war of 1812

His father is a bit of a loose cannon that posts stuff for attention. He was posting some weird stuff during games last year.

Not a big deal imo. By all accounts Kamario is a good young kid, mature and stays out of trouble. His dad is just a bit out there which isn’t all that rare with athletes.
We all related if you go back far enough

I use momentous. Ingredients say creapure and manufactured in Germany.
