re: Lost high schools of Louisiana

The highschool grades of St. Francis De Sales in Houma became Vandebilt Catholic, with a brief stint as Houma Central Catholic. I actually have my grandpas Letterman's jackets under all 3 names.
I should probably note that the manufacturers I work with are primarily CPG companies. I have no idea about machinery or technology goods.
It may have been mentioned already, but it largely depends on the types of goods. Some of the manufacturers I work with have indicated they expect some delays at the ports for products shipped from overseas but actual production halts are not an issue as of today. As a matter of fact, some of the companies have already put into motion production in countries with low tariff rates, to offset any uncertainties. US produced goods no immediate issues. Major chains will be fine for inventories (provided there is no panic buying), but you may see some disruption for local chains who use local wholesalers.
I'm glad to know I'm not the only one that does this. Any downtime I have at work I just randomly navigate Google maps and really enjoy finding islands that were unknown to me as if I'm the Ferdinand Magellan of Google maps.

I also look at my mother in laws property in South Carolina all the time to imagine what changes I would make if my wife and I decide to move there.
Yup that's all she wrote, #1 seed last two years has been a curse
Been waiting for this patch to drop. Initially was going to play during paternity leave which will be any week now. But decided I may not have the time I think I'll have and started my 3rd playthrough last night. Decided to go with dwarf going the path of the giant barbarian playthrough for the irony of giant dwarf that will just shove his way through battle
I have several native Indians on my team and they all use "today morning." I've grown to accept it and put the blame on the British for teaching them English incorrectly
Women's College Gymnastics can also be a solid watch, for many of the same reasons as beach volleyball

The wife and I just flew back from the Bahamas and both ways we had a pilot with a peppery mustache, I knew we were in good hands.

I think Florida got benefit of going later in meet. LSU may have gotten a 10 in bars if they had not started in the event

Yes, played the college route in RTTS and I didn't lose any games so unsure if its one and done or not. The championship game is just one game for sure though. FYI, if you don't get offered to the school you want after completing highschool, go to the MLB combine, more schools will offer you after that. Then you choose if you want to go to college after the Draft
I honestly don't remember, I thinks it's just some king James version, but there are like several hundred translations of the Bible. Don't know about Sanders, but if I remember correctly the Wayans brothers were/are JW?
And don't get me wrong when they go out in service, aka door to door sale of the religion, it is quite annoying, thankfully I always have an excuse in saying I know a lot about their religion due to my family. However, I once had a Catholic priest tell one of my high school classes that, despite their interpretation of the Bible, they are "living out the gospel" and being evangelist for Christ, which is more than most Catholics do, which I thought was an interesting thing for him to say.
My mom was raised JW but is no longer practicing. My grandparents and aunt are still practicing JW. I attended service several times as a kid, haven't been in years though. But from what I remember, it was mostly just older men in their specific Kingdom hall reading scripture from their version of the Bible and encouraged participation from the congregation during service and tying the scripture to modern day society. In a lot of ways it's kindve like a religion class or Sunday school. There are a lot of issues with their religion and it absolutely can be cultish (although by definition all religions are) and has caused some minor issues with family, but thankfully my grandparents dont practice the whole shunning component of the religion and have been active in our lives.
Wife and I started playing last night as well, she really loves It Takes Two. We are having fun so far and the pig level is absolutely hilarious.

Unless I didn't pay attention at all in catholic school, I'm quite sure it's just red meat that's required of the Catholics for fasting on Fridays during lent.
I work in the tobacco industry through the nations largest wholesaler of tobacco products and specifically focus in tobacco tax.

FYI there is a sharp distinction between PhilipMorrisUSA(PMUSA) and PhilipMorris International (PMI). PMI owns SwedishMatch which is the manufacturer of ZYN

Aleah really needs a rest from floor. She at least got a rest on bars, but she is struggling on floor and needs to reset.

Yeah scoring is a little suspect tonight. I was expecting lower scores than last week just given the nature of the meet, but not where they are scoring right now. Really just need to get out of here with a high score than the Arkansas meet
