There is really nothing more to say. Can you imagine having to fill an hour with any positivity at all? :lol:

She will be alright at 74YO….very quick and easy procedure. People often go to a hospital in Birmingham to get that done. I am in central Mississippi, so if y’all want to go that route and need a place to stay, let me know.

Done….
She probably needs an ablation if they can’t control it with meds. I have two coworkers that have ablations done every few years.

Man, that is a really cool headstone!

Butthurt is a hell of an understatement….they are seething with anger. Even folks that do not follow college football are pissed! :lol:
Not at all. I’ve been watching sports long enough to know that every season is hit and Miss. you can’t take anything for granted…good or bad. Pre-season expectations have no bearing on what the reality of the season will bring. As long as the coach is able to bring in quality players consistently, there is a good chance of success.
There is far too much luck involved in baseball to say that because your team did not realize lofty pre-season expectations, that the coach is not good.

Last summer my insurance co sent up a drone and tole me that I needed to cut some tree limbs off my house! :lol:

wanted to enable an option for ordinary people like myself who own the stock to AUTO cast votes in agreement with the board
I believe I did see something to that effect recently. I do almost always vote in accordance with the board’s recommendations however, I don’t want anyone auto-voting for me in any way, for or against.
I remember a couple of years ago when some asshats sent out alternate proxies to try to fool the voter base into replacing the board with themselves. I resent that shite.

I know a couple of kids like that. They fly through school a d graduate at 17 or 18. That is very impressive and all however, they typically lack the social skills and maturity to capitalize much on it. The guys I have known typically bounce around in corporate America for a couple of years and shift to academia to become a college professor or something like that.
They are always successful in life, but seldom as successful as you’d think,

wtf is the purpose for a qr code sticker to put on you vehicle if all it contains is the vin. Like what’s the purpose.
Exactly….your vehicle already has a barcode of the VIN built into the dash. It is built into the dash on the driver’s side and is visible through the windshield.

And so, the march towards authoritarian rule progresses. I’ll bet Landry can’t wait to hear the pointers Trump learned in China…
I saw this earlier. Won’t get much press anywhere but Mississippi.
Why would you go through all of the trouble of booking a cruise to commit suicide? Seems like you could just take yourself out quietly at home. Sounds like this fellow wanted to make a big spectacle of the shite. All he did was frick up a bunch of people’s vacation.

I had season tickets in the east upper….because that is the only place I could get them. The view of Tiger Stadium and the river is breathtaking. The sun is brutal for early season games, but it is nice for the November games. They also put visitors in high in the east upper, so they are a bit of a pain to deal with.
Bottom line is, it will get you in the Stadium allowing upgrade in future years. If you are buying on the secondary market, I would certainly want another part of the stadium.

Hotels near Oxford
Hotels are ungodly expensive in Oxford on game nights….as everywhere else in the SEC.
I would since you are flying into Memphis, I would stay at Southaven….holiday Inn on Marathon Way. That is close proximity to Oxford and the airport in Memphis.
Tupelo is a damn nice town, but it is the wrong direction from Memphis.
batesville is a shithole, but it has a decent Hampton Inn on the interstate.
Grenada is too far to travel from Memphis, but is a good place to stay if your are driving from BR,
