Do you have a problem with the actual boats, or just bass pro in general?
That’s the one that started it all! :lol:

I can rewatch football games and get excited or pissed just like I have no idea what happened! :lol:

Open the cans and let it dry out. Once dry, you just put them out with the trash. This is what waste management tells you to do.

This is actually a damn good idea. There is no need to keep a half filled can of paint for “touch up” :cheers:

Truth….can you imagine wanting attention so badly that you would suck a dick for it! :lol:

I thought all of mine were gone…today, they are back! Must be another wave of migration.

As we move to the pro model for college football, that is a likely step, IMO.
I agree….defensive player led with the crown of the helming and thst is the definition of targeting. Have to admit though, it looked a lot worse because fo the way his back bent when he fell.

I was glad to see that he wasn’t injured,
I always enjoy seeing the A&M band perform. They March with precision thst looks cool as hell from my vantage point in the Stadium

Agreed….I usually think those are a waste of time. This one is actually well-thought out! :lol:
I have gotten the same survey every week for years and I fill it out every week.

To be honest, I thought the game-day experience was not bad at all.

Anytime there are 102,000 people in the same building trying to all leave at the same time, there will be some traffic. This year I was able to switch parking lots to one that is much more friendly to my exit direction. It is actually very pleasant to not have to wait until contraflow ends to leave.

As far as concessions go, I see the same system implemented in most other stadiums and it works marvelously. The only problem with LSU’s implementation, is that they simply don’t have the space for adequate cashiers. There’s nothing you can do about space in the stadium at this point. I typically get a sausage dog..,,which was great!

re: Vevor sewer auger, need some help

I have the same problem with roots. Mine stops up about once or twice per year. I typically rent the auger from Home Depot. Finally I decided to stsrt flushing tree root killer down the sewer a couple of times per year, and I haven’t had problems in a couple of years. You can buy the product at Lowes.

Let’s say you go to the casino with $500 in your pocket. You hit a $1000 jackpot on the first spin of a slot. You now have $1500.

You gamble it back, walk out the casino with $600 in your pocket.



Most people would tell you only thst they won $1000, regardless of what they walked out with. Casinos have the best advertising in the world, because gamblers only tell what they win and never what they lose.

How many times have you heard something like, “we made enough to pay for our dinner and hotel”. :lol:

Only because those commercials remind me of a shitty time in life. I had a stroke several years back and remember being in the hospital ICU watching tv all night with those commercials playing incessantly like every 10 minutes day and night.

The jubilation down the hall from black folks, including teachers, was ridiculous.



I experienced the same thing… For a day or so. Then the exact same folks realized the reality of the situation and were questioning themselves when they realized that no one was going to be held responsible for a gruesome murder of two individuals.
In my relatively limited experience, that would be Alexandria attorney Mike Small.
I am admittedly not at all knowledgeable about medical residency programs. What criteria do decision makers utilize to choose residents?

Grades?

Experience?

Political influence?
