I have family there, it is a very nice town. If I could pick and choose certain aspects of Sioux Falls, and certain aspects of New Orleans, it would be just about the perfect city. alas.

Once upon a time confirmation predated first communion. The current order is relatively recent

We did this for years. I loved walking past the stables and the ladies checking bags at that entrance were so chill about bag check. "You good baby"

So was a single player from Tennessee on their team last year? Or just store bought from nil

You could take the ship island ferry 111 times for what they're charging on a one week cruise.

I've had cases against Rex. He is a character as they might say. To describe him as the "mayor" of Lancaster is an understatement to say the least.

You aren’t even carrying liability insurance ?

I would reconsider. I got a quote last year for liability only - it was super cheap even in Orleans Parish. Ultimately we decided not to risk it and bought the comprehensive, but liability only is probably the on-paper correct choice.

re: Do you say "TO hell" or "THE hell" with something when dismissing it wholly?

Posted by Cold Cous Cous on 4/21/25 at 9:40 am

"the hell with it" seems lighter and more dismissive - I'm just tossing it away. "to hell with it" is angrier. A subtle distinction but a real one.

re: Livvy Dunne submits formal objection to House settlement

Posted by Cold Cous Cous on 4/8/25 at 3:16 pm

I'm sure this has been mentioned but why tf didn't she opt out under 23(b)3? That rule is tailor-made for these one-off situations.

Obviously Livy Dunne is far from being the median NCAA athlete and it's unjust to hold up the entire class settlement for a few unicorns like her.

there's a poster on this board who called the 2009 bottom to the day. It was the only post in td.com history I still remember 16 years after the fact. I won't mention who because he will get a big head but I'm watching his acct carefully.
