The American Experiment : Netflix

Posted by LSUGUMBO on 7/5/26 at 3:56 pm
Watched the first episode this afternoon. I was a little surprised to see Hillary and Kamala offering their 2 cents, and also see Ran Paul and Ted Cruz. Documentaries like this make so much more sense than reading about it in a text book or even watching it in ‘John Adams’

I’ll probably keep watching- Tom Hanks did a good job on this one

Shorts and sandals from May-September/October. Jeans & boots other months. Jeans if I have to go to the courthouse or meet a landowner.

I’m not totally convinced that any president wouldn’t have put on the largest fireworks show, either. It’s the freaking 250th Birthday- of course it’s going to be bigger and better than ever!

It’s just an issue cuz Trump- Orange man bad.

Smoked/seared filets and spinach/mushroom stuffed mushrooms. Red/white/blue parfaits for dessert.

I miss Delta Blues SO MUCH- Blueberries and chunks of cobbler crust :drool:
After bills, about $500. The rest (1 year expenses- I’m self-employed) is in easily accessible savings that’s in laddered CDs and S&P funds.

Funny story- I had it all except $10K in CDs for a while, and after the S&P was up 10 or 11 weeks in a row, I finally decided to buy VOOG and make a little more money…it’s been even or down every week since then :lol:

Louisiana’s contributions

quote:

the state's contributions included 30 handwritten notes from a mix of scholars, elected officials, athletes, veterans, immigrants, education leaders and legislators. Among them: former New Orleans Archbishop Gregory Aymond, LSU women's basketball coach Kim Mulkey, LSU President Wade Rousse and ULL President Ramesh Kolluru.

Louisiana's contributions also include: Letters from Gov. Jeff Landry, Rep. Steve Scalise, Lt. Gov. Billy Nungesser and the state's America250 commission; a challenge coin; commemorative pins; a copy of a state House resolution commending the Sons of the American Revolution; a commemorative poster; and beads from Bacchus' most recent Mardi Gras parade.

Cevapi is cooked. Have fun watching the rest of the tournament at home, Cetniks . this shite's pretty good. Dip it in buttermilk.


It’s better than pretty good- it’s fricking delicious. I might have to get some tomorrow for lunch

I went to one of the red rocks shows a couple weeks ago



I thought he quit touring a few years ago. My wife loves to tell me about how she took her Mom to see him before we met. I wanted to see him on (what I thought was) his farewell tour a few years ago, but we didn't make it.

He did a great job of staying true to the hits, but changing to reflect his lack of range. We enjoyed the show a lot.

I know I'm old school (I'm 46), but I don't ever see a time where I am comfortable getting in a car that is completely self-driven/autonomous. Like not even a little bit do I see myself ever being able to do that comfortably.


I'm 44 and I feel the same way- no chance of me ever getting in a car that doesn't have a driver.

When JLC showed up to the Bear I thought all hell was about to break loose even more than what was already going on.


I thought she was going to burn her house down with all the candles- that gave me more anxiety than anything else.

Sugar getting freaky behind the restaurant :wha:

When Richie threw the egg, I almost died.

I stayed away from this thread because I didn’t want spoilers, but I’m glad I watched 5-8 in one sitting- it tied up the whole experience nicely. 6-7 are high energy, but not stressful.

Ep 7-8 are an hour each, so it was 3 hours, not 2.

When Ibrahim is on the phone with Albert :wah:

Ending was perfect.
quote:

Yes you should finish the show.


Oh there's no doubt I'm going to finish it. This season is apparently better as a binge watch, but I hate doing that, then it's over and I have nothing to watch again. I may have to block out 2 hours and finish it all in 1 sitting, though.

The last 5 minutes of episode 4 is just so elite television with the score and the gameplan and everyone bought in . When the bear is on, it is ON its just so good


I was thinking through the first three episodes that it was not all that great, but the end of Ep. 4 kicked it up a notch. Looking forward to 5-8
I can’t remember the last time I went to Applebee’s, but I’m pretty sure it’s been more than 10 years. We used to have 3-4 in Shreveport/Bossier, but I think we’re back down to 1.

It’s nice, but nothing beats the original. I’m glad that TT got past all their issues from a few years ago and have rebounded back to relevance
Prince
Paul McCartney
Bob Seger

They all came to Bossier City and I didn’t go. McCartney was on the same day as a friends birthday dinner, and I told my wife we should skip dinner and go because resale tickets were something like $75/ticket. She veto’d it.

On the flip side, I did see Elton John, Eagles, James Taylor and Billy Joel and I am grateful that I didn’t pass on those shows
I just came across this new concert special on Hulu. The first 40 minutes is new music that he’s written over the past 5-6 years, then the other 90 minutes is hits. We’re about halfway through and it is pretty awesome.

I like Stevia, I just make sure it's not mixed with Erythritol. I use it in my coffee every morning, and in iced tea when I drink it. I used to use Splenda or Equal, but never the pink stuff.

I also like Diet Coke way more than regular coke. I'd rather have artificial sweeteners than HFCS.
