Go to Berry Irrigation and UV protected bench tops
If you have access to a different water source pump water into it

re: Vacuum Sealer

Sorry if anything I’m about to say has already been mentioned. I have purchased 3 different regular vacuum sealers in the past, and recently purchased a chamber vac. The biggest upside to a chamber vac is they have no issues with wet items. I catch a lot of catfish during spring summer and a regular vac would always have issues (I have read and tried all the tricks, pre freezing, paper towels etc) no one feels like doing that all the time. If you plan on using it a it, chamber vac

But it helped some of us to reprioritize some things and put LSU football in proper perspective. It’s kids making more money than most of us and their performance should not elevate people’s blood pressure, cause grown men to cuss and lose sleep.


How old are you? Have any kids yet? Just wondering bc like someone earlier mentioned, 1/9/12 was my date. I had two toddlers and another on the way. So I wasn’t super busy at the time. Fast forward 12 years, I watched the first quarter and a half on my phone in the softball complex parking lot waiting for my 12 yo game to start. Coaching her team and all the other shite I have on my plate right now, I looked at the score on the way home and said shite. But prior to 2012 I woulda lost my shite.

Been super busy and haven’t been able to watch much this season. But the little bit I have watched is his foot work. He throws way too many passes falling back even if he’s not pressured. The talent is there, nutts is there. Combine all that with fundamentals he’s a Sunday starter in the NFL.

I’ve had better luck with sugar snap peas in the spring here in southeast Ark. spinach and collard greens are the toughest plants I ever seen make it through the snow we’ve had the past two winters.

My mother used to always make a small roux and then cook them down with salt meat. Don’t put so much roux that’s it’s really thick but just enough to give it the flavor. I always throw mine in the crock pot before leaving for work. I add onions and usually either a smoked ham hock or Tasso. Delicious.

How good does the school have to be to make out of state tuition worth it rather than going to LSU or another in state school. For a major that is useful such as pre med, finance, etc.


Not sure if it’s still this way, but The University of Arkansas @ Monticello waves out of state tuition for bordering states. Only 1.5 hours north of Monroe. Yes it’s not a fancy big school. I know a lot of Physicians that have premed there. May be worth a look.

Google Carmen Peppers. I’ve been growing them for a while now. They’re green, but ripen red. They’re just like the red snack peppers. One year I had 5-8 plants, and in September they went haywire. I bet I had 200+ at one time. Every morning and evening I would go in the garden and eat 10 or so. Taste sweet and hardly ever had any disease on them. One of the only peppers I ever grown here in the south that Dosent mold or rot real quick after it turns red. I’ll plant them every year.

re: Spinoff: fentanyl laced cocaine

Posted by FowlGuy on 2/2/24 at 9:26 am
Bc Fentanyl is highly addictive. When they lace any drug, they’re doing it to hook the addict and keep them coming back for more (so they buy more). They do not intend to kill off their buyers. Unfortunately, fentanyl is potent and kill you in small amounts. The addicts keep pushing the envelope and OD.

Ok explain this to me as I’m wondering how the seed producer gets seed w/o using seed from a hybrid plant?


The plant breeder takes two plants, let’s say tomatoes. Two different varieties. He takes the pollen from the male flower and pollinates thr female flowers of the other tot Mayo plant. With this fruit makes, the seeds within that fruit or a hybrid (F1). You can collect these seeds and plant them next year and it’s a hybrid plant. Now, the seeds of the fruit grown that year are no longer a hybrid. Don’t ask me why. But if you plant them, they may grown plants, they may grow fruit, but you cannot rely on whatever the producer is promoting that hybrid to do (examples larger fruit, uniformity, disease resistance, cracking, heat scald, etc).
