My wife (no pics) is from White Bear Lake. Her family still lives there. Was up there at Christmas. I lived in Golden Valley for about 3 years around 2000. Moved from BR to MPLS. I loved it up there. Lots of Somali's and Hmongs there then, not as many as now. But it was never an issue.
I got a HS ring and LSU ring. Wore the LSU ring for a couple of years after college, now it sits in my safe deposit box. Still glad I got it though. Now we live up outside Chicago. Neither of my kids even wanted a HS ring, not even a thing up here, at least at their school. I don't know of any of their friends who had one. Same with letter jackets. I still have mine in a closet at my parents house. My son got one for football and wrestling, but my daughter (no pics) did not want to get one for softball, just not that big of a deal up here I guess.

Rittenhouse threw 5 picks in that game against NDSU and they still won, coming back from 14 down with just over 3 minutes to play and going for two to win.

They get #4 lined up where they want all night. #2 has been the go to during the season and especially the playoffs, . Now, just run the damn ball and eat that clock.

That is what I thought, not a high percentage call at all, but what do I know

That was a back breaker for the Redbirds

Geaux Redbirds. My daughter ( no pics) is a senior there and road-tripped with some friends to the game tonight. ISU has won 4 road playoff games so hopefully they can pull off one more
Radar Love is the best open road driving song, followed closely by Red Barchetta. Both cranked up!!
Clyde. No idea where the name came from
we travel every Thanksgiving and Christmas. We live outside of Chicago now for 20 years. My family (parents, sisters and their families) are all still in Kingwood. My wife's (no pics) family is all in Minnesota. We alternate. One year Christmas is in Kingwood and Thanksgiving in MN, then switch the next year. When we were kids, we lived in Lafayette, New Orleans then Kingwood. My dad's family was in Alexandria and mom's in Bossier City, and we always traveled. My kids are now 24 and 21 but not married. In my 60 years, I think I have woken up in the house I lived in on Christmas maybe 5 times.
I still have the baseball version of that game.
I guess I was asking, any concerns buying used cooking pots?
Thank you all for the responses, these are some good recommendations to look into.

Another question. Has anyone or have you know of anyone who has purchased a used magnalite, say from Ebay? I see one now, that feels like a decent price, looks to be in good shape and is actually close enough for me to pick up instead of shipping? 180.00 for a 13" 8qt?

We did the same. Found a disposable camera the other day. We took it to Walgreens and had them developed. It was from probably 12 - 15 years ago when the kids where in grade school

I peaked in HS and have over 40 years of experience as a dedicated arm chair coach that has solved most play calling on both the offensive and defensive side of the ball. I would like to join you staff in some capacity. I believe my experience speaks for itself.
I know Magnalite are hard to come by. I was looking at a 13" mcWare or a 9 Quart Enamel Coated Cast Iron Dutch Oven by Cajun Classic. Does anyone have experience with either or any other recommendations?
He looks troubled. I feel like he had look troubled all day. I also feel like his players haven’t done a lot of celebrating with him today. Probably overthinking but that is just how things appeared to me
I cannot see me loosing interest in LSU, ever. I had season tickets and drove from Houston every weekend for several years until I moved too far away. This included the Hallman years. I support and pull for my Tigers. I may piss and moan from time to time, but loose interest? I can’t see that happening
