I remember Tic Tac Dough was popular at the time and we used to make jokes in class about the dragon when someone answered the teacher wrong.
Nothing like worthless game shows and soap operas.

Cool so people are splitting these things up.
For ribeyes, strips, or a porterhouse, I get them cut thick and serve everyone portions. I'll even do a 3" porterhouse and serve on a platter at the table.
For filets, I like a 10-12 oz cut. We typically do them in a cast iron skillet with the butter finish to get the good crust on it. A small steak won't hold up well to that. Some of the family will share, but that's my favorite so I'll eat it myself.
That said, I've done thin, quick sear ribeyes on the blackstone with a lemon butter sauce and they were delicious. Whatever makes you happy, cooking should be fun.

Larger steaks cook better. By the time you get a nice crust on a thin steak it’s well done. I’d much share a thick steak than have a bad one.

Louisiana would’ve been legendary with I-69, though we’d probably need a toll just to pay for all of the stolen signs.

There are several great local drug stores here in town. People have mentioned quite a few. Bolton's, Red Stick, Prescriptions to Geaux, etc are all good. I know Red Stick will ship your medicine, which is helpful if its something you take regularly, not need immediately when sick.
The PBMs need to be blasted for trying to harm the independents. Unfortunately, PBMs can afford high paid lobbyists and work across state lines.

re: Best military vehicle not made in the US?
Posted by GetBackToWork on 3/16/25 at 7:24 pm
If this thread covers any singular piece of military equipment, hands down I’d vote for this one. It may not have had the greatest impact, but it certainly has played a role in conflicts and the impact of conflicts across the globe.

True. Funny thing, though, if any car needed a real spare it was the M3 on Michelin Pilots. They seemed like good tires, but it didn’t take much to destroy them. Louisiana roads weren’t kind to them at all.

Years ago BMW included a full sized spare mounted on the same wheel type. They gave you 5 wheels and tires so no matter what you were in good shape and not on a donut or cheap steel rim. It was a selling point they emphasized when showing the cars.
How most cars ended up with a can of run flat or nothing at all is ridiculous. Nothing can fill a tire that has real road damage. It’s a great feeling when you’re traveling away from home.

Not exactly the same as mine, but close enough. Bronco's were great.

You should contact several universities and ask. Let us know what they say.

Had this watch with a red guard like below. In 1985, it seemed like every kid in grade school had a Swatch. They weren’t expensive and actually held up pretty well.
