I haven’t had a speeding ticket or any other moving violation in over 20 years. It’s not that hard.

As I’ve said recently and 1000 more times, we cannot coexist with people who think and act this way. There has to be way out of this. Whether it’s a national divorce or another Civil War, the status quo cannot continue or there will be blood. A correction has to happen.

I worked as a vet tech for two summers in high school. I assisted in euthanizing dozens of animals. I didn’t understand it at the time because I had never become attached to a pet, but I was definitely surprised when most people didn’t want their pet’s remains. I won’t tell you what we did with them. Laws on disposal of animal remains are likely stricter now.

My two pups died in 2022 and 2023. They were both 12. Had them since 8 weeks. Just like you, I dug their graves in the backyard and laid them in.

Yes, please.

My first house, purchased in 1995, was built in 1952. I didn’t do a ton at first but during the 8 years we lived there, I replaced the roof and most windows and painted the entire exterior. The painting I did completely by myself. Scraped, pressure washed, sanded, climbed a 20 foot ladder with a Wagner spray painter. Took me a few months of weekends IIRC. I used to be young and could do shite. Now I just pay for it.

I don’t believe this.

Oh.

Men are ranked 11th and women 14th in the final rankings before nationals. T&F rankings are not opinion polls.They’re based on the most recent performances of your team’s athletes in their disciplines.

I don’t think we have a chance to win with either team but could make some noise and into the high top 10. We’ll at least have several individual champions.

I thank God regularly that I live in an Alabama county of 88% white folks and less than 2% black. About 10% is Hispanic but I can find common ground and live among or at least near them.

My backyard neighbors are Hispanic. Our yards are about three acres each, so not right on top of each other. Except for the Mexican flag decal on his truck I have no problems. She works at a bank and he’s a heavy equipment operator at a quarry. Hardworking folks. I would be extremely upset if a typical black “family” moved in.

The only person I’ve ever known to win anything of significance at any gambling/lottery was my dad in 1979. We went on a 3-week family vacation out west and one of the stops was Las Vegas. Picture a conversion van, a pull-behind camper and seven people. It was equal parts Beverly Hillbillies and National Lampoon’s Vacation. I was only 14 so I couldn’t go into the casinos. We were eating breakfast on the day we were leaving, dad played Keno and won $400. That’s equivalent to about $1800 today. Paid for a lot of our trip I’m sure. Pretty cool.

I don’t know if I like or hate the idea that baseball is so unpredictable. The best team doesn’t always win. One millimeter off on a fastball is the difference between a 3-run homer and an inning-ending out. It’s fun to watch, though.
