Lol, sure you did.

Boomers who constantly repeat this make believe shite tend to be the most incompetent out of touch people Ive ever met.
I know Koreans who sound like Aussies when they speak English because their teacher was from there.

I speak Spanish with a Norteno/Tijuana accent because if the same reason.

the American a better league than the Sunbelt moving forward? I'm assuming their current TV contract is better.



It is but not by that much IMO. Like someone said, it's a conference that gets poached by the Power 5. Hasn't really made waves since SMU and UCF left and Tulane started sucking again.

TV is probably better. ULL has been one of the better programs in the Sun Belt the last decade and they might make it on ESPN twice a year, 3 if they play a Thursday night game.

Is JMU considered the DC/NOVA TV market?

I felt the same about Lafayette's OG Chik Fil A on Ambassador near the intersection with Robley. I used to go at least twice a week.

The newer ones are ridiculously busy and get stuff wrong all the time.
She probably isn't attracted to you or some other guy who is more attractive gave her some attention.

Consider it a good omen, you could of wasted a lot of time on girl who wasn't into you and would string you along. Better that than spending hundreds of dollars on dates.
Im a registered independent. Have gotten D2D campaigners for Abbott, Paxton, Talerico, and some dude running for state rep.

One guy literally told me he didn't like Gov. Abbott but he was just doing it because it paid $22/hr and he needed a second job.
They're pretty easy to fix, lots of tutorials on YouTube.

Lower property tax bills.



Tax accessors have a habit of "delaying" appraisals whenever there's a housing correction. Happened to me when I lived in Lafayette in 2015 when the local oilfield crashed.
Des Moines is a nice clean city with a good job market and is still relatively affordable.

For sure, unless I have to dig for it then its not worth it. Ive bought mostly shirts or jackets.Hard to find pants or suits that fit well and are in good shape IMO.
I mean it's kind of true. Do you want them to quit saying it because it hurts your feelings or something?

re: Grade inflation in high schools

Texas, you cant get into UT/A&M unless you are top 10% of class. There are literally kids that transfer to terrible high schools their senior year so they can graduate in the top 10%.



My daughter will likely go to LSU because of this rule (not complaining).

Were zoned for a really good high school in suburban Houston. I kind of just want her to enjoy high school. If she's dead set on UT or A&M and doesn't make that 8% mark, she can always go to Blinn or so.e other CC.

So, rural people in a state should foot the extra costs of a large urban areas instead of the people making much higher salaries living in those areas?


Urban areas subsidize rural areas.
I lived in Philly for 11 months, it's a little over 3% if I remember.

A lot of the big employers in the metro area build suburban offices in West Chester, King of Prussia, Delaware, or New Jersey and other places to get around paying it. You actually see just as many people commuting to the suburbs as people going into Philly.

Thanks!

Just wanted to help. I received a Texas public school education before I moved back to Louisiana for high school and college. I used to tutor Louisiana kids who were behind on reading.
