Fat Tuesday’s, a local Sandwich shop in Bossier and downtown Shreveport makes some of the best homemade poboy rolls that would be great for a Philly. Sturdy bread, but very soft/chewy. They don’t have a Philly on the menu, but they should.

After that, I want provolone lining the bread AND whiz, with plenty of peppers/onions.

re: Cremation or Burial?

My MIL wants a casket and burial- she has a specific Life Insurance policy that will cover the cost. When we had to make the decision about her sister/my wife's aunt, my wife was very upset at the thought of cremation, but since nobody in the family had the money for embalming and a casket, we didn't really have a choice.

IIRC, basic embalming, casket, vault, digging the hole, sealing the vault and filling the hole was well over $10,000.

My parents have already filled out the paperwork to donate their bodies to science- I'm thankful for that, since I'm sure I'll be the one to handle all of it when the time comes.

I told my wife to cremate me- I hope she listens, but I'm sure she won't, as usual :lol:

Is she bipolar? Just a few days ago, she was all in a tizzy about her game and how she’s playing all wrong, yet she’s not changing it at all. She sucks, but her fake cry meltdowns are kind of good TV.

Not to mention that his speech is kind of trashy. Talking about his wife & McAfee holding his balls. Yeesh


Jesus I bet you’re fun at parties. Yeah he went a little long, but not overboard or out of line.
Firm believer in having a pair of dogs and/or pets. Human/dog interaction and love is great, but animals need each other, too. We’ll always have 2 dogs.
I felt like I was way behind the ball when I started exploring our options in April. He had some scholarships (not TOPS), but I knew he was going to need loans. I don’t know what changed from April to August, but the first preapprovals I got were for anywhere from 7-10%, and I was shitting bricks. We ended up at 2.64% thank God.

We were definitely behind on applying for every scholarship that we could find, and I plan on starting earlier for next year for sure. He also decided on a school late, so that was another problem that we won’t have next year.

Stanley Tucci's series Searching for Italy.


I have really enjoyed this series- it makes me want to go back to Italy as an adult and eat the random street, farm to table restaurant foods and just not ask questions on what it is until later. :lol:

My wife is not a fan of food shows, so I have to watch them without her, but I'll add the new countries to the list. I could watch Eva Longoria all day long, food or not.

Per my YT algorithm, Rich Eisen seems to hit on nostalgia a lot, and I'm all about it. But any time he pops up on YT it's clips of him interviewing famous actors and asking them about their classic movies and certain scenes or backstories. It's usually a solid watch.


I watch/listen to his show daily and it’s great. He has built a great cast of co-hosts, and his guests are usually can’t miss. On more than one occasion, I have come home to pull up an interview clip to show my wife because it references something we have watched or talked about- Seinfeld (the sea was angry that day), Rob Lowe, Steve Harvey, etc. This was Sportscenter has been a fun watch, too. I wasn’t expecting him and Dan to go blue, but the F-Bombs seemed to make it more candid. Really enjoyable.

Boudin Casserole- had a pound of smoked boudin that needed to be eaten, so I sautéed some Trinity, steamed some cauli rice, added cream cheese and pepper jack and the boudin. Served with a Caesar salad. Delicious and low(er) carb

I love my One Blade for shaving my neck and cleaning up my lines. Can’t beat it for $40, and I just have my barber clean up the lines when I get my haircut. Now I need to figure out what I’m going to do with all my leftover Mach5 blades that I’ll never use again

Only $13.99 at my local IHOP. Maybe $19.99 was for delivery?

We caught up last night and tonight’s episode, so I’ve been out of this thread to avoid spoilers. I was expecting to have a couple of pages, but we’re still on page 10 :lol:

I guess the Cookout and the past 2-3 seasons must have really soured a lot of people. I remember far enough back to when there were 2 BB threads- spoilers and no spoilers.

I made some a few weeks ago- I had some 31-40 peeled/deveined and poached them in salt water. Boiled the water, put shrimp in and cut the fire, then let them sit until cooked. They were so delicious by themselves, and even better dressed with olive oil, Chipotle Tabasco, salt, pepper and garlic
This will only affect users that buy direct from Apple, correct? Maybe it's more popular in big cities with Apple Stores, but I don't know many people that purchase direct from Apple instead of from their phone carrier.

Why people update so frequently boggles the mind.


Rebates. As long as AT&T gives me a monthly rebate on my 3 year old trade in that covers the cost of a new phone, I’ll keep getting a new phone every 3 years. After 3 or 4 years, the ‘promotional’ trade in value drops significantly, so why not take advantage and get the upgrade? At this point in my life, I’m not switching carriers, and from what I can tell, the biggest drawback is that if you cancel service, you have to pay the balance due on the phone.

If you love cheesy game show/competitions, this is right up your alley. 12 B List stars, including Carmen Electra, Dr. Drew, Andrew Yang, Napoleon Dynamite and Steve-O among others. It’s basically a trivia game where you earn stars for correct answers or passed challenges and lose them for incorrect answers. It’s hilarious and highly entertaining.
