That’s great. They have nice stores. I’m sure they will just go where all the other stores are though.

We check in to our house in Emerald Isle today. Stayed in Greensboro last night.

Can’t check in till 4 so figured I’d look for a bbq spot on the way for lunch/dinner.

Had mot occurred to me that most small town local restaurants in the rural south are closed on Sunday :face:

I was in college when Check your Head came out, and managed to throw the unedited version of "So Whatcha Want" out over the college radio airwaves at ultra uptight Grove City College.

Meh, nobody was listening anyway.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dsVAOjVYQnY apparently AC/DC didn't like that they sampled Back In Black for this. Not just didn't like it, wouldn't clear it. From wiki Mike D spoke to AC/DC's Malcolm Young personally on the phone when their lawyers refused to clear the sample, and later said that ...

Noon is great cuz it won’t allow those hillbillies a chance to lube up for a night game. Moonshine for breakfast it will have to be.
Don't give them a challenge.

Speaking of 'shine we are hitting this spot up on our way to Emerald Isle tomorrow

So the correct answer was carpenter bees. Which as far as damage goes, it could have been much worse. They just bore and lay eggs without causing mass destruction.

We've had a Samsung washer for at least 10 years and (knock on wood) never an issue. Bosch dishwasher, requires regular cleaning but no issues other than once we kinked a hose when putting it back in after doing some plumbing and it cracked. New hose, all good. Our GE fridge is 9 years old and was n...

She talks to her mom once a day and her sisters at least weekly.
I have family that does this and I don't get it at all.
I overhear most of their conversations and honestly don't know what the hell they talk about.

I’d love to hear that guy explain where that rusty dust pan came from. There is a greater than 90% chance it was a hand me down from his dad, and his dad got it from the homestead works n'at.

If I don't believe it yet, I guess I'm never going to believe that otherwise seemingly sane people read that ish and still want to vote for the guy, because "sanctity of life" or "Biden's policies are worse" or whatever.

I’m glad my daughter wanted to stick with one sport. Being forced to watch softball or some other lame **** would be brutal.

My SIL cancelled her Memorial Day/Birthday barbecue because her township cancelled their parade. Weird, because the rain is supposed to hold off over there until 3pm at least, so now we're on our own. Had to go to Fresh Market to get burgers, etc. because I have nothing that's not frozen right now....
