What they aren’t showing are the family of five living in a cardboard box on the side of a highway. Which is what I saw last time I was in China.

You will see way more of that in the USA. That is an absolute fact. Just because you saw a homeless family in a country of 1.41 billion people is nothing. The USA has 750k+ homeless people including a large contingency of families. You do not see that in China. Homelessness is treated differently there. Can you imagine if the USA had 1.41 billion people? There would be millions of homeless people everywhere.

I’ve been to Biloxi and seen who hangs out there.

I’ve seen the “sand”.

I’ve seen the water.

I cannot begin to convey how much I’d prefer not to see those people naked in that sand hanging out in that water.

And, you’ve never set foot on Ship Island….

You ain’t kidding. I call for some concrete work estimates and guys are showing up in brand new F-250 Platinums. I’m about to learn how to foreman a concrete driveway myself.

I knew a guy that owned a temp nurse company that got into the fence installation business by accident. He called a fence company to come out and give him a quote. Fence company owner comes out, quotes the job and the homeowner agrees to the price. Fence guy leaves and sub-contracted Texicans show up next day to do the job. Fence guy was never on the job until completion.

So the temp nurse company guy says this looks like pretty easy money and goes to the fence supply company. Asked them what’s needed to open an account….nothing but a business license. Opens an account the next day. Puts ad in Craigslist. Guy was doing six fences a week within two months and having Texicans do all the hard work.

My dwarf plumeria. I love plumerias and this one never lets me down. Bought it at Lowe’s in Hattiesburg four years ago. Could not believe they had them. Grows maybe two inches a year. Bushy as all get up. Puts out giant seed pods on the regular. Just had one open yesterday.

No concern that a possible gust of wind could suddenly hurl them back into the air or drag them across trees. Not saying this did not really happen but certainly sounds questionable.

---

Not really. Those trees behind them cannot be more calm. No gust coming.

Some non-fat people have SA, too.

That’s me. I have SA and use a CPAP. I don’t sleep well because I despise the apparatus on my head and face. I also hate the constant air being forced in my nose. I’m 6’1 and 180-185. Extremely active. I cannot wait for the day Apnimed releases their product to the world. I’ll be first in line. I envy those that sleep well.

No you do not. What make and model is the OP driving?

Wayyyyy over 68k

It’s net migration. Texas gained residents but also lost residents at about the same clip (500k or so both ways). So, 568,000 new residents….but 500,000 left as well. Net gain 68,000 new residents.

I have a 25,000 gallon SWG pool. About to sell this house and buy another one without a pool. A new SWG pool with sand filter will be installed. I’ve had two tab/chlorine pools and wouldn’t own another. A bag of salt here and there, keep my cya in check with Natural Chemistry pool conditioner, 4 oz of In The Swim Super Algaecide mixed with two gallons of water every two weeks, and add MA when necessary. My pool sparkles and all chemistry is in check year round. 10 minutes a week. Vacuum when needed. Betta skimmer robot is a must in my opinion. Really helps keep a pool clean. I have two German Shepherds that love to swim and drop serious mounts of hair. It’s nothing for Mo-Betta to keep in check. Mo-Betta never complains…just skims 24/7 unless it’s cloudy.

Over 25 but haven’t grown up. I see.
