It passed in 67% of St. George precincts, which is all that should matter for creating a school district


Why should all of the districts in the state that will lose money by setting up another school board not have a say?

Just curious where do all of the kids that live in the apartment complexes and neighborhoods that are completely enveloped by St George but were carved out with a very precise scalpel go to school? Will they no longer be allowed to attend their neighborhood school?

And Auburn.


Yeah but we didn't start playing Auburn every year until the expansion in 1992. We only played them 26 times from the first meeting in 1901 to 1991.

Hell we played aTm almost twice as much during that same period and they weren't in the conference.

Have played every season since 1981.


TIL the Hawgs had an annual SEC Rivalry before joining the conference.

UF/LSU played every year going back to 1971. Not anymore


Basically goes back to 1953. We always reference 1971 which implies we played them sporadically before then. We've played them every year since 1953, except for the three year span of 1968-1970.

In 2027 we lose LSU vs AL for the first time since 1963.

There is already a Turner that's not affiliated with Turner Industries that is a major player in that sector. At least that's what I've been told.

What is your favorite flavor and any suggestions?


Probably not what you're looking for but the one mixed in Blue Bell ice cream is my favorite.

Otherwise pralines are a too rich for me.

It’s really good but nothing beats their salted caramel brownie ice cream. Haven’t seen it in stores for quite some time. That’s what bothers me about Blue Bell.


I completely agree!

The one with the brownies? That was my favorite.

I cannot explain the stress of having a home you can't unload do to a glut of availability. So maybe prices are higher now, but you know you'll be able to sell it in a reasonable time frame if you need to.


I went through this in 2008. I think the real estate bubble popped the day I signed papers on the new house. Over a five year period I was paying double notes for basically two years. Fortunately, I had a renter that covered my mortgage for the other three years.

Maybe so but they were sporadic enough that I don't remember them. I think we have these threads more often than tipping now!

I was applying the typical multiplier of 3-5. Good for you for trying to stay under that.

I wouldn’t call this a bubble because I don’t think we will see the fall we saw in 08, but prices in some major cities are starting to fall and likely normalize.


Not necessarily a bubble but the prices will eventually fall to equilibrium to match the interest rates. Ever notice no one was claiming about housing costs when rates were 3% or less? Now that they are 6+% it will take time for prices to either drop or decrease the rate of appreciation.

Do they have a Buy it Now price? If so, that's the only way you're getting them back!

This has to be a troll. Earning $200,000+ and can't afford a decent home. Where?

quote:

This is laughable. My parents first house was $80k in 1988 and they were able to buy at 23 years old right out of college.


Now describe that house: size, types of floors, height of ceiling, types of walls, countertops, light fixtures, how many bathrooms, gas, or all electric, etc.

Everyone loves to quote the cost of the 1980's house and compare it to today's market while completely ignoring the amenities which is what drives the cost of a house up significantly.

Sure it will you just need a fan. We just got back from europe and only had fans in the airbnb's. It was mid 80s for the highs but low 60s at night and we were fine.


I guess this is where we will have to agree to disagree. I just got back from Europe as well and my wife and I were miserable both with and without fans. Fans made it better but it was still hot late into the night.
quote:

I lease rental properties out here. Its amazing how many northern colorado rentals dont have AC. Even at 106 today it will get in high 60s tonight


Getting down into the 60's won't cool off the house; been there done that!

We made that mistake in Durango a few years back when renting a very nice cabin on top of mountain.

Asked the property management company about it and they assured us we would be fine due to elevation.

Yeah that turned out to be complete BS because the room wouldn't cool down until well after midnight.

Swore I'd never do it again until we went to Europe last week. All the hotels said they had AC which I guess means they have a thermostat b/c they sure as didn't have anything blowing cold air into the room.
