frick these snakes.

How long do you keep the burner going after you put the crawfish in the pot?

How long do you let it soak?

Do you add anything to the boil to make them easier to peel - like butter, for instance?

Do you add ice to the water while they’re soaking to prevent overcooking?

Gotta boil for some Texans later and it’s been a few years so trying to refresh my memory.

It’s good for your credit score to carry some balances and show you are a responsible borrower. In creditors eyes, it’s much better to have years of responsible borrowing as opposed to never having borrowed anything.

This is true.

But frick this and frick banks for this (and other things).

This is why it’s so freeing to never need any credit if you can get there. Your credit score doesn’t really matter much at all.

Considering a trip home for my fix…

Laffy Taffy was 5 degrees F at 6:30 this morning

This is a fair take even though Buckeyes want to be all “stop living in the past”.

My wife and I talked about this yesterday. We were die hard CFB fans from HS until about 3-4 years ago, and now i can’t be bothered to muster up a single frick to give. Do I want my team to win? Sure. But the highs aren’t near as high as they used to be, nor are the lows as low when they win or lose.

What we loved about CFB was the connection between the players and the fans by way of the love of the school and associated sports teams. You never got this in the pros because it is a job and the players play where they’re signed vs where they want to be (for the most part). That is all but gone. OSU won with a QB who played at KSU and a RB who played at Ole Miss…just last year. They don’t GAF about OSU.

I know this applies to every team, so I’m not taking anything away from OSU for winning by the rules in place. I’m just explaining why I, my wife, many of my friends, and tons of others are quickly losing interest as the CFB pagentry erodes with the Wild West transfer portal. You can pay players without this nonsense. You can’t even keep up with what players are on what teams anymore.

The rich getting richer is not something that will generate long-term interest. Sorry.

I’ll be 43 this year. I’m pretty good health - I jog ~15-35miles a week at a sub 8min/mi pace and have just restarted lifting weights 3 days a week.

I have high blood pressure that I control well with diet and meds, and high cholesterol that I’ve been on statins to control for about a year (not sure if I’ll continue taking it).

I want to get a holistic analysis of my general health from a nutrition / fitness perspective as a baseline for improving my performance, but also to identify any issues I can address with diet or supplements. I’m thinking something that tests free testosterone, cortisol, and many of the other bro-science type things that wouldn’t get tested as part of a normal physical blood screening…including hormones.

What does the board recommend I do? What tests should I take and how/where should I get them? How much should I expect to spend to get these tests?

TIA

No doubt. I’m sure it sucks arse for them. I’m just struggling to muster any fricks to give. I think the majority of these people believe they are superior to the majority of us. Maybe that’s it…

I mean, I can feel bad at a human level (I’m sure Paris Hilton is sad), and I don’t think they “deserve it”, but I’m struggling to not feel like it’s justice that some of these folks have been dished out a bit of struggle in their life. I feel like a POS, but I’m being honest.

First timer here trying to figure out how to cook. Ribs are in the oven and this is the only BBQ sauce in the house.

Can I use this or do I need to run to the store?
