[quote]I don’t understand Bama pursuing such a mediocre safety like Ed Woods from Arizona State. I guess CKD sees something but to the casual observer, pursuing this guy is a head scratcher when there are more talented DBs out there. [/quote] Do you know he's mediocre, have you watched many AS...
Malls are dying in general. I imagine that most stores that have traditionally relied on malls and shopping centers to service their core business are going to struggle. I honestly don't know any one of my wives or sisters friends, or my daughter and her friends who have shopped at Limited any time ...
[quote]Somewhat related: The Romans called Worcestershire sauce garum and it was a staple for armies in the field. [/quote] Garum and Worcestershire sauce are a little different. Garum is a fermented fish sauce made from ungutted fish like anchovies. Worcestershire Sauce, the main flavor compone...

[quote]Everything goes into and out of the same account. We have a single budget and part of the out is a transfer to our separate "personal" accounts. This is for anything from dining out, clothes, fun. Anything family/us/kids related all flow through the joint checking and cc accts. Neither of ...
[quote]Recycling the old LSU mantra. It's not gonna end well.[/quote] "You must learn how to hold a team together. You must lift some men up, calm others down, until finally they've got one heartbeat. Then you've got yourself a team." Or did LSU recycle an old quote from Bear Bryant?...
Got caught in a flash flood way back when and this happened. Luckily I was working for a place with an auto shop. Here's what the mechanic did to salvage the car after being hydrolocked. Pull the plugs and turn it over for a few seconds to blow the water out of the cylinders. Get yourself a new ...

[quote]To answer your question Harvey Haddix's 12 inning perfect game [/quote] Poor guy didn't even get credited with a no hitter and lost the game. He gave up hit in the 13th inning and the Pirates ended up losing 0-1. ...
This guy is a painful idiot. Perfectly exemplified by his take on Pennsylvania. He also said that one thing he noticed about Pennsylvania was a stark lack of "continuity" between the state's cities and rural stretches. "If you go out to western Pennsylvania, it's completely different than Phil...

It's mostly bass fishing locally. We have a place out in the western part of the state where I'll go out and fly fish for trout. At least try to anyway, I'm pretty new at fly fishing. The closest spot for trout from Raleigh is probably the Mitchell River in Surry County, up near Elkin. It's just und...
Currently live just SW of Raleigh in Holly Springs and have been in the area for about 15 years. Love it here. We live by Harris and Jordan Lake with easy access to local outdoors type stuff. Fishing and canoeing. Beach is close by, Mountains are close by, several areas with lakes are close by. ...
[quote]Try stevia. It's natural (from a plant) and no medical side effects like artificial sweeteners might have. I love it in coffee. [/quote] I've tried it and sadly, not a fan. It has a very strange taste to me for some reason. Agave syrup has worked pretty well in other things like tea, but ...
I started intermittent fasting late last November in order to get my weight back down to the weight I was for most of my life. I don't eat between 9:00pm and Noon. I've always taken my coffee with sugar and haven't been able to break that yet. Also adjusted my diet to exclude most alcohol and proces...
[quote]Charlotte Bobcats was pretty terrible BTW. [/quote] To me the Bobcats were the worst. Especially because Bob Johnson, the original owner, went with that name because he wanted to name the team after himself. Charlotte franchises collectively have had the worst ownership groups of any to...
Milton Friedman. What do I win? It should be noted that out of context, this looks like support, but if you watch the speech, he's actually being critical of the practice as it's currently a path to welfare. - [i]"I’ve always been amused by a kind of a paradox. Suppose you go around and a...

[quote]Go pro or D-1 college (if they offer the sport) [/quote] The sport where the highest amount of youth players go on to play in college is hockey. Something like right around 10% of high school hockey players will get offered some level of college scholarship. No idea what the transition...

[quote]Right. Sure, Excel is not ideal for this, but it's more than perfectly capable. This screams of "we don't know how to use Excel so let's spend half a million dollars implementing Windchill instead".[/quote] First thought is that he's seen what a high level of sustained success looks like a...
