re: Gulf Shores Golf

Gnats on the gulf coast can be brutal at times - you have to carry a can of OFF with you.

The worst gnat issue I have ever had was at Peninsula - there was no wind and we were swarmed.

All three have nasty gulf water

Current status

Future status

Jackson and New Orleans are pretty much complete shitholes.

Give us some numbers so we can see how we stack up and are on your track.

Carbon capture is the biggest hoax this state has faced in a while. This topic could very well make Letlow a one and done senator.
I fear we have made some massive mistakes.

Yall will get Letlow and still be pissed. Even when republicans win you guys lose.


I get the feeling that Letlow’s public goodwill is rapidly evaporating. Seems like she is just a placeholder for JL to take that seat one day.

He may be the greatest ever Louisiana high school running back. He had three state championships and was the MVP for his final two state championship games.
You are making my point - there are too many teams considered for the new collegiate league. It is all one big money grabbing joke.

Plus 2 - where did you play college golf?!?!

US Open Conditions - scoring

Watched yesterday and watching this morning. I honestly believe that if I played that course yesterday, I may not break 100…I am guessing the only people shooting sub 85, other than the pros, are current and former high level D1 golfers.

Now, I am an old man…so move me to the member tees and I may have a shot…

The level these guys play at is mind blowing.
Baylor
SMU
Wake Forrest
Kansas State
Mississippi State
Vanderbilt
Rutgers
Iowa State
Cincinnati
Texas Tech
Louisville
Central Florida
Houston

These schools have no business in the new “P4” lockout group….absolutely none.

I like Mystic better than Squire….if I lived in the Ruston area, Mystic would be my course.

I miss RCC and the Tech golf course.

I spend a week every September at a friend's condo in Destin, the trashiest people I see down there every year, by far, are all wearing LSU gear


Very true - 95% of them have never set foot inside an LSU classroom. Very trashy
Yes - I am old and know - it takes a long time to recover from downturns…we never talk about that.

I had time on my side when young….no longer have that luxury….ill take some bond income and enjoy a less stressed life.

I think the general business media misses the point as to risk with 401k money flooding into overvalued investments.

It is always the W2 worker that bails out WS….always.
quote:

We no longer have life insurance. Again will defer to MB experts, but with your nest egg, you may not need. We do not.


In most cases, it makes sense to carry some life insurance. Just to get your spouse buried / cremated / etc. is painfully expensive right now.

Should you die soon into your retirement, the liquidity provided to the surviving spouse, via life insurance, makes decision making much less stressful.

Will defer to the experts on the MB but I am of opinion that taking pension lump sum makes most sense.


Yes

Take the lump sum and don’t look back.

We couldn’t do Auburn out of state without it…or at least taking on debt which I refuse to do.



Auburn is one of the most expensive public schools - a complete waste of money for out of staters.

Many kids need a reality financial check when it comes to college choices.

You are lucky grandma had a trust set up for y’all….
The PGA Tour should ostracize all players that went to LIV - or make them pay a massive reinstatement fee.

Funny thing - what happened to LIV and the PGA Tour is happening every day in this country.

Private equity comes in and flashes cash, promises much bigger and better things….everything is good for a while then the bottom starts to give way and it collapses…investors want out and nothing but rot is left.

I am an old man - but I have yet to meet a doctor, dentist, cpa, architect, farmer, vet, engineer firm owner, etc that was happy with their private equity deal 48 months later. They sit in my office, sob and complain after every attorney and financial expert warned about potential long term issues.

Flemming

There is something about Letlow that is just not right - she is too scripted, too controlled, too fake…she reminds me more of someone from Missouri than Louisiana.

And her stock trading situation - no one cares who made the trades on her behalf, she shoulda known better - complete lapse and lack of integrity.

It would be interesting to know her net worth day one in Congress and now. I am guessing she went from broke to multi millionaire and about to have a lifetime pension and medical care greater than anything the rest of us could dream of.

Flemming did not ride taxpayer coattails.

Now, all that said Letlow before Cassidy all day.







I stopped caring about college football some time ago - it is broken beyond repair.
