Numbers shouldn’t be retired. Names should be put into a ring of honor.
re: Glacier pool coolers. Are they worth it?

BeerThirty, check your email.
Two years ago I installed a shade cloth over my pool area. It has kept the pool temp below 90 through July and August. I have a rectangular pool and am using a 90% UV reduction shade cloth (20’ x 60’). I installed this with a friend’s help for less than $400.00. It’s retractable so I can pull it in during bad weather. My wife has MS and does daily pool therapy. Her body will not tolerate water temps above 90. Current water temp is 88 at 8:00pm.
re: How warm is your pool now? Do you like warm or cold pool water.

Our pool temp is currently at 89. I put a sun screen over the pool to keep the water temp down. If it gets much hotter, I’ll turn on the bubblers to help bring the temp down. My wife (has MS) does pool therapy every morning weather and water temp permitting. Anything above 90 and she can’t get in the pool.
re: How confident were LSU fans back in 2007 when Ohio State went up 10-0 early?

I watched the game in Dallas with some friends who ribbed me when OSU went up 10-0. I told them I wasn’t worried. We would come back and we did.
1976 Opening game against number 1 Nebraska. We tied them 6-6. I was a freshman at LSU. The Tigers D played lights out!
My much better half and I made 45 years early this month. We celebrated by attending a Matherne’s Wine Dinner.
Nope, I’ve always been a long time lurker.

They did our house after we flooded in 2021. They were easy to work with and did a fantastic job on our remodel. I’d recommend them.
I use Spectracide Triazicide quarterly. Spray or spread from your house (include any flower beds) outward to your property line. This has worked for me. No mounds this year after fighting them forever.
So was Kirstie. They both fed from the trough at the Golden Corral.

O is just another act added to the Circus that is LSU Football. Still, I’ll cheer for my Tigers!
re: Calling it now, Lane will get fired in 2-3 years and Coach O will serve as the interim.

Amen ChestRockwell! This buffoon should not be allowed back on campus.
I’m off Highland at Bluebonnet. I have 14” in the rain gauge since Friday.
AOC’s level of stupidity is truly astounding.
Embarrassing. Why won’t this team swing at strikes?

Even he knew those pitches were balls.
Where would they then get their slush funds?

I’m in Baton Rouge and I’ve cut my yard 5 times this year.
