Uhh, this reads like someone who was too young to remember FUSC bumper stickers
Why would you start this thread and not include Les Miles and Coach O. I don’t want to google this but now I am.

Les Miles, 54 (LSU, 2007)
Coach O, 58 (LSU, 2019)
My aunt was supposed to bring green bean casserole. She showed up with the ingredients in a Rouses bag and told my mom “some assemble required.” My mom said something inappropriate and both stormed off as I was left to make the green bean casserole.

Flash forward after lunch and 2 old fashions later: Now the aunt is saying her vision is blurry from cataract surgery. Yet she drove 2 hours here with my 98 year old grandma. Now I’m drinking a pot of coffee because my wife and mom are too drunk to drive them home.

Why do fans have to contribute to a millionaire? LSU should pay me $530 to keep watching this garbage.

“LSU has had 1 season in the last 12 better than 9 regular-season wins, and that was 2019.”

2012 was the last 10 win regular season before 2019. A lot of mediocre and wasted talent in between.

Every church I’ve visited when in Houston area has police at Mass. They sit in the back and then do traffic control after.

Most buyers don’t leave feedback. If they don’t stay 20 minutes, they aren’t serious.

New construction builders in Houston burbs are paying for closing and buying the rate down to below 6%. Selling a house right now is brutal. Average days on the market are pushing triple digits.

You’ll have to offer cash at closing and lower the price if you have to move it quickly. Prices have fallen to 2022 levels. Your options are will a drastic price reduction, you wait out the inventory for several months, or you rent it out and hope things eventually improve.

The only thing selling fast are the best school districts and houses priced above $900k. Rich people don’t care about rates or markets.

Your realtor should know the tricks, but every 2 weeks the first picture of the listing should change. If you do a major price reduction after 2 months, re-list so you get to the top of searches.
Pack the kids stuff 2 days in advance
Pack all non cold things the night before.
Cold stuff that’s going is organized on 1 shelf in the fridge.
Check list of day of things that are packed last minute.
Still takes an hour to load the car and get 4 kids to pee and find their shite

Talyard is impressive - playground + pickleball + beer + food.

Live Oak is a huge menu and has a small playground. Everything is good that’s I’ve tried

Pappasitos, Lupe, and El Tiempo on 59 are solid for Tex-Mex. Pablo’s up 99 is better but out the way.

Pho Ben for Pho

Thai Square for Thai ( kinda hole in wall on 90).

Swinging Door closed so idk about BBQ. Rudy’s on 59 is good enough.

Standard American Chinese - Jade Ly on 90.

More authentic Chinese / dumplings (point at menu because waiter doesn’t speak English) is Old Place Cafe down Hwy 6

Willys on Hwy 6 has a solid burger but I’d probably go to Live Oak first.

Indian either Himalayas in town or we get take out from Mahek which is in a gas station on 1464.

If you like chains, there is everything under the sun.

I had them for a couple of years around my patio with small kids. I thought they were cool to watch but a dozen swarming wasn’t fun.

They were tunneling under my patio concrete where the ground was low and they were under the concrete. I would fill up the holes with sand and water excessively. They eventually got the idea and left.

I don't know how anyone thinks it would be ok to sit in expensive seats that aren't yours


Apparently they weren’t checking tickets for the championship series in the sections around the infield. I heard from several people who paid good money for seats in the shade had people with SRO bouncing around to find the empty seats.

Wait until day of game and you can get tickets in the outfield for ~$100


The Saturday game in 2023 was over $200/ticket the morning of game in the outfield. It was the most expensive game because all the locals go. Tickets went down Sunday and Monday was the cheapest.

What’s the best place to look up a plan to maintain it?


Your county extension office or the closest A&M college will have good resources. Probably Virginia Tech.

Just google “tall fescue + state you live in.”
Water when dry and mow regularly. By fall you’ll know if lawn care is a hobby or a chore.

Then you decide how much effort to put in.
