Four of the five in my immediate family are #pureblood. My oldest daughter had to take one shot to get into the nursing school. She has had autoimmune issues, severe weight loss (no pic, but did not need), and had to be put on a heart monitor since. She loves her job but not the jab she had to get to have it.

I am the only one in the family who like tomato, so we use cucumber on the BLT making a BLC. Really enjoy both.

re: Anybody into competitive Darts?

Posted by Dirtysouthdeacon on 4/28/26 at 9:41 am to gumbo2176

I played in a league in ATL for about four years. It was alot of fun. Our team was half in it for the night out but we were all good at darts. I was probably the worst on our team, but still helped us win several times. Then, my best buddy on the team moved out of state and I have not played really again since. I loved it though.

I asked the board a similar question back in the fall. We ended up at:

Bottega Cafe for lunch (highly recommend)
Dyron's for dinner (highly recommend)

You should get reservations if possible.

Not a big Christian fan, but he did volunteer to go to EI AND he lost a challenge suited for him. He would have gladly pranced into camp and thrown an extra vote on Ozzy if he did not panic and fail.

re: Need a recommendation for Pinot Noir

Posted by Dirtysouthdeacon on 4/2/26 at 9:39 am to Buck Dancer

Meiomi is my least favorite Pinot. It is much heavier than most Pinot and because it is a blend of Pinot grapes can vary. I do not think it even drinks like a Pinot. BUT I know alot of folks who love it. I would go to a wine store and ask what they recommend in that range.

My best friend and college roommate took his life unexpectedly 3 weeks ago. I am over 50 and have been crying while alone a good bit. Funeral/CofL is next weekend. I imagine a good bit of tears from my group of friends. F*** mental illness.

My dad is retired and 78 himself. He volunteers at the hospital 3-4 days a week and pushes folks in wheelchairs on walks around the grounds to get them outside. He loves it but he would talk to a tree if he thought it was listening.

Dimino is a great guy. Our kids played sports together and I have traveled with him several times. Totally chill, funny AF, and cool. He knows more about baseball than anyone I have ever met.

I have had three sequias. They are great for start a family, pack a pack n play, etc. But (first world prob) they are not giving you a loaner when you come in with an issue. They are not washing it unless you ask. They are great, but you are paying a nice tag for a limited or better and then you are on your own. We loved the first two, not the last one but we should have gone smaller and just made the mistake. Honestly, I like the highlander better depending on your family. Lexus sucks

re: People leaving perfectly good stuff out on the curb

Posted by Dirtysouthdeacon on 12/16/25 at 11:52 am to Rankest

We moved about 5 years ago and we had a good bit of stuff that was old or out of style that we could probably sell for $10 or something, but I just kept it in the garage and moved a piece or two down daily. Old office chair, coffee table the kids got marker on etc. The funniest was we had an old couch that was a spleeper. It was in the basement of the old house and we did not want it a the new house, so I dragged it to the curb. It smelled of cat pee as well. It got picked up in minutes and then the next morning it was back in front of the house. I guess old boys wife did not approve of the curb sofa. I called the city and told them someone dumbed it there bc it got rained on after they brought it back.

PoBoy Shop is really the only good one. Big Easy is good for a drink, but the food is mid at best. I hit the PoBoy Shop up at least once a month but it is a hike to get there. The chain if Louisiana Bistros is awful and frozen.

Dinner in Mountain Brook, AL

My sister and her husband are touring some schools with my niece. My niece is staying with friends for the bama v OK game, but since the hotels are sold out, they are staying at a hotel in Mountain Brook area. Any recommendations? They want a good meal, but I am sure do not plan to bring formal attire. TIA

re: if ‘It s how you raise them’ is true, how can someone adopt shelter adult pit mixes?

Posted by Dirtysouthdeacon on 10/22/25 at 11:57 am to LemmyLives

We adopted a pit mix as a puppy that was on the streets (with 15 other puppies) from the Bahamas. We were there for vacation and ran into the family fostering them and ended up with one. She is the sweetest dog 98% of the time, but she is food driven and food protective. She almost killed our 15 year old king charles over a bag of popcorn that hit the floor. We love her to death, but have to feed them separate and put her up when we eat. Somethings cant be unlearned and fighting for food on the street is apparently one of them.
