Went to Lowe’s today to get some supplies to fix the back of my barn. Everyone in the store looks at you like you are contaminated. I found myself thinking that most of those staring at me, or giving me funny looks, until a couple weeks ago, hadn’t even known what a virus is. Does anyone even realize that these hand sanitizers only work on bacteria? Ok, my rant for today.

Sorry, but I'm not sure if fixing your barn should be a priority.

Probably only to me. Lots of people buying deck supplies....4x4 treated, 2x6 treated, 5/4 treated, sacrete. Something to do instead of sitting in the house. Police outside of store going in. Didn’t ask me why I was there.

Here’s some handy advice.

All we have to do is go ask our moms if “slap me into next year” is still on the table.

Amen!   After listening to this gloom & doom for about a month & a half, I’ve about come to a conclusion.   You’ll be in your house for a year, or you can go out, catch this 💩 and get well so you’re probably immuned, or die.   

For instance, I have high cholesterol.  Dr’s say I should cut down my meat & egg consumption.  But wait, there’s one other thing in the equation, quality of life.  Do I want to do without meat & eggs so I can live to be 90 and die of Alzheimer’s?   Nope.   I don’t have that many good years left.  Do I want to spend a year just sitting here?   I’m already beginning to wonder.   Just wondering out loud.

I told my wife that if the doctors told me I have terminal cancer and about 6 minths to a year to live, she should go buy about 20 cartons of Marlboro reds. Told that to a friend of mine and he said, “What, and make it worse?” I said, “What could be worse?”

For those of you who still like to eat out, even though it’s order on line, Pine Tree Lodge is open again. They have been closed since Harvey. I got the fried catfish, fries, red beans and rice, and a side of cream gravy to dip my fries. They also now serve liquor by the drink. I got a margarita. It was great.

Oh yeah, you're lucky. I haven't been there in about 10 years. Last time, gator country was out filming for their show, Gator 911.

So...with the recent economic downturn and loss of wages, I have found myself in a predicament. I have a 20’ Skeeter Bay Boat I’m in the middle of rewiring. New gauges, fuse panel, etc. I was in the middle of this project when I realized I don’t know what the luck I’m doing. Decided to get a shop to finish. Then the roof fell in. Still have a job with considerable loss in wages. Looking for someone who charges much less than the boat repair shop to “help” me finish. Any ideas?

Man, it would have to be wiring. I’m not much help there. Got rid of my boat. Got tired of throwing money at it. lol

Lol. You may be quite a bit smarter than me. I can’t seem to get it through my thick skull that paying a guide to take me fishing is a helluva lot cheaper than owning/maintaining a boat. Thx.

Not sure about the being smarter, but it just got frustrating. If you don’t fish pretty regularly, there is always a surprise in store when you do decide to go...... boat tags are out, trailer tags are out, flat on the trailer, dead batteries that won’t charge, trailer light out, you name it. Of course I’m not telling you something you don’t already know, but add all of that to the fact that I did more work at the camp than I would have had I stayed home, didn’t leave much time for fishing. 
My BIL goes fishing with a friend and brings me all his white perch and specs. He doesn’t eat fish, so I still get to enjoy the dining side. lol

Just an observation.   TNT has a new series called Snowpiecer.   Earth is frozen over & only living things on earth are in a Train going on a long continuous track. Mostly just the rich on it, but the dredges of society ended up in the last car.  After being mostly confined at home for a couple of months, I’m pretty sure them folks would’ve gone crazy & killed each other before a year was out.

      Baton Rouge split in half?

      By tvc184 · Posted

      We all know that each state has its own laws which can be very different, especially in endeavors like annexation or incorporation, so there is no telling what Louisiana law says. I don’t know but I doubt that there is a point of appeal for Baton Rouge to force St. George to be absorbed back into Baton Rouge by now giving them what they asked for years ago. “Oh, we lost? Well let’s just undo incorporation, ruled as legal by the Supreme Court (of LA)  by going back and giving them what they asked for”. There has to be a law allowing such an appeal. I think what I read about the lower court decisions which actually backed up Baton Rouge, they did not all rule that incorporation was illegal but that they did not think the city could have services up and running soon enough. So you have a court saying that sure you can split but only if we agree that you can provide services get enough. In Louisiana, who knows? I doubt that Texas has such a mechanism to allow a city to split, for example, could the west end of Beaumont say that they wish to make their own city against Beaumont’s objection? I doubt it. Certainly Beaumont could allow a city to be created as Port Arthur did with Bridge City and Taylor’s Landing. There is a huge difference in allowing and forcing which is what happened in Baton Rouge. Similar to the sometime discussed topic of Texas splitting off from the United States because they don’t like the way things are going, think if citizens in any city in the United States were allowed to create their own city, which could not be stopped by the parent city.  That could get interesting!! Don't like what is happening in the south side of Chicago? Just de-annex and create your own city!! Anyway, I thought that it is an interesting story when the capital city splits in half.

      What has happened to Jasper?

      By AggiesAreWe · Posted

      Wasn't that 1st round loss last year? Also, during those previous 10 years I am pretty sure Jasper didn't go 2-58 in district play in the other 5 sports.

      Even More From The Friendly muslims!

      By SmashMouth · Posted

      Ma'am, I don't think he said all Muslims were like that. If I'm reading this right, he's referencing the terrorist Muslims. You know, the ones who commit murder & have no regard for anyone who doesn't follow their jihadist beliefs...

      Great playoff run, no doubt.  They did make the 3rd round(1 less) 4 of the previous 10 years, only one first round loss. 6 district championships and 4 second place.  The only 4 years Carthage was in the same district. So no, I'm not sure it does make sense.
