      Dude, that's awful. It's definitely not limited to the South. Those cowardly asswipes are everywhere. Makes me sick.

      OWH had an article about a month ago who lives in Omaha area and flies a confederate battle flag in front of his home. Of course he tried to say he wasn't racist and had a lame reason why he flew the flag.

      I'm completely against it. NBC came out with a report of it being "Inevitable". They are hard up on normalizing the idea

      I had a relative from Texas make some and gave it to us this last June, my wife makes homemade burritos and freezes them and I've been eating them with that salsa and homemade Guac as well...My god, its good!

    3. ColoradoHusk

      Salsa made with fresh ingredients is so much better than the jarred stuff in the store.

      Your first problem was you made a bet with someone who has "teacher" in their name. There is no money to be found on us.

      Oh, why do you think I'm asking?! I'm a teacher too!

      I don't think it's surprising that schools from the Southeast are reaching the National Championship games. That's where greatest collection of talent resides.

      Wait...I hear how teachers have "3 months off" over the summer. I wish! The time when it is just teachers and no students is the worst.

  9. Question. I'm getting back into recruiting, how reliable are the CB predictions? 247 didn't exist the last time I followed recruiting closely.

      Everybody i know is 100% on their CBs. So, believe them all even if they are putting in different teams on the same player.

    4. ScottyIce

      ScottyIce

      If you see a CB from anyone for your team it's legit, if you see any targets of your team that get a CB to somewhere else, it's not real.

  10. Anyone else love watching football replays on youtube that have been cut down to "in 30 minutes". Makes it so much easier to go back and watch

      I still believe they will be a top 5 but, it's definitely different from other years

      Hmmm... 2nd DUI, failed drug test, cited for open container, broke another students arm. Not too bad for a few years

  16. I'm gunna be pissed if this education reform goes through. I'm currently getting loans forgiven for being a teacher. Trumps dumbass plan is going to eliminate that benefit.

      I think the motivation is of limited relevance; they're doing the public sector job and that's what matters. Whether the financial relief is a token bonus or an absolute necessity depends on one's situation.

    3. ScottyIce

      ScottyIce

      My point is, you didn't get into the work to get loans forgiven, or at least I hope not. So why hinge so much hope on it now?

      Why hope not? ...

      Can get less than 3% from a lot of CU's right now with a good score. I'd go to 3 different banks/CU's and see what rate they'll give you.

    4. RedSavage

      RedSavage

      If you're going through a dealership, you may also want to consider financing through them to get additional rebates and then turn around and re-fi with a bank/CU.

      I've used a waterpik with the nose attachment and a simple saline (salt water) solution. Really clears things up in there. Once you get used to the feeling....

      Diet helps too. I never believed it, but I used to eat crap food all the time. I cleaned my diet up, more leafy greens, veggies, and whole foods. Dropped 20 lbs and my allergies all but went away. Occasionally get a stuffy nose during the peak pollen, but that's it.

  25. I have lost 2 friends to car wrecks in the last 5 years. One on the receiving end of a guy driving and having a heart attack (head on) and the most recent one was a single car gravel road accident as a passenger. Life is precious. The recent one leaves two little girls behind. :(
