Unless you can trim some limbs to get at least a little sun, you will have a tough time growing anything. I would plug some st Augustine and water it for the summer. St Augustine is a hell of a lot more vibrant than centipede

I tried the money clip thing and didn’t like it at all.
Currently have a bison leather made by Diluth Trading company. It is extremely durable but not overly complicated with all kind of compartments and such. I did opt for the bi-fold so it would be thinner vs the tri-fold. About $50.
Probably the last wallet I will have to buy! :lol:

Not true in my IBEW local. The payscale is the minimum pay. I know several guys that make more than their scale pay.
That’s great…and the way it should be, IMO. Some guys bust their asses and always come through in a crisis!
Mine is pretty clog to the same…I would have to raise blueberry to tier 1 and move blackberry to tier 3.
I would also add Mayhaw at tier 2.

I have both been a union member and supervised/managed union employees. Here are my thoughts on unions in general:
- union employees are generally well spoken, intelligent, and well trained. If they are not, they never make the jump from apprentice to journeyman.
- there is no fast-tracking your career in the union….promotions raises, etc are all based on the contract. I was not free to give high performers better raises.
- some companies do some pretty shitty things to employees. This is not nearly as likely to happen with a union workforce.
- Pay and benefits are invariably better in a union position that their non-union counterparts (though don’t forget that you have to pay union dues).
- My thoughts in general: I obviously liked the increased compensation (pay and benefits) with a union job. However, there is always some animosity between management and labor that made for a shitty work environment. That animosity even exists between union members because of the role seniority plays.
EVERYONE seems to hate their job in the union environment.

re: Anxiety is crippling my cousins daughters

Anxiety can be absolutely debilitating. I feel sorry for people who get it.
That said, if your cousin's daughters want to continue traveling, they need to be able to take care of themselves. If you really cannot function in society, you will find yourself sitting in your parent’s living room missing out on a lot of things life has to offer.

Maybe you misunderstood my question. What would be the legal charge the cops could make against you?
I don’t think he was referring to a legal charge….they were going to send him a bill…
Probably folks that have let theirs go over the past couple of years.
Let’s face it, most ticket holders to any sport at LSU are corporate tickets nowadays and MBB have had little to no value to any corporation.

screw unwatchable women’s basketball. If they want to dedicate resources to a women’s sport then dedicate more to gymnastics. Much more interesting than watching a bunch of unathletic broad backs repetitively missing point blank layups.
Yet here you are posting and fricking the thread all up.:casty:
