You never said it but you try to. You are the VN police. You are right about one thing, we are in the midst of a dynasty but when there is bad ball being played its okay to call it out. You might not like it but its ok to call it out

You are not telling me or anybody else nothing. I expect you to respond to me or anybody else who has something to say that you dont like. You dont fool anybody.

You shouldn't expect someone to actually respond to an opinion with their own opinion?

Isnt it funny how we spent all this time waiting for the Bapple to come back, and now it’s here and we are all anxious… already holding on too tight to the point of unpleasantness because we’re already afraid to let it go. And that’s not right, the moments here and it’s gonna go, and so will you. I spent so much time in the past dealing with anxiety and depression, you know I kind of struggled to appreciate my own “bapples;” my hobbies and pursuits and passions. I smothered a lot of my passions before I felt like they were going to smother me. Not everything you do has to be a lifelong pursuit, it could be a beautiful blip in time, a picture on the wall or a story between good friends, and I think this is what Bapple’s mean for a lot of us. Something that we are all really going to enjoy, but we’re going to have to let it go. Cheers to Bapple’s

Happy Sunday - big day for the team

June 8, 2025: The puzzling aspects of your life will begin to fall into place to form the image of your purpose. The avenue of fulfillment will come into view as the way of progression is made clear. Be sensitive to My leading, says the Lord. Galatians 5:16 I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.

Agreed, but just 15-20 years ago this talent was not available in state. We had no margin for error. Now, we need to make sure we hit 60% of instate targets minimum and be able to win those recruiting battles in NC, GA in positions of need. Recruiting FL and CA with success is icing on the cake.

Get the best available. If its instate or not.

Right now we have the best QB in the Nation. Have a solid base. Time to move up from 28.

Of course I am, I only drink locally sourced coffee from my OWN coffee tree!

(I'm just joking)

But it is part of the irony...so many folks will talk about "locally owned" and then just ignore the fact those shops are shopping at Walmart, through Amazon, etc. other "big box" spots to get their supplies anyway.

Our main in-town grocery store used to be owned by the people it was named after...and they had 100s of acres of land where they farmed all the produce sold there. Miss those days.

One of our favorite Italian restaurants has herb gardens right at the restaurant. They have a local farm where they grow all their own produce. They make their pasta in house.

Even before we found out about that, it was obvious that everything was fresh. They are not more expensive either.

Have you ever actually listened to the lyrics of Third Eye Blind's "Semi Charmed Life" song, specifically the 2nd verse? 3rd or 4th verse is. . . different too. . . *just read them all, that whole song is jacked up, 😂

"The sky was gold, it was rose
I was taking sips of it through my nose
And I wish I could get back there, someplace back there
Smiling in the pictures you would take
Doing crystal meth, will lift you up until you break
It won't stop, I won't come down
I keep stock with a tick-tock rhythm, a bump for the drop
And then I bumped up, I took the hit that I was given
Then I bumped again, then I bumped again
I said. . . "

There are some really popular songs we've all heard that have really messed up lyrics when you actually listen closely to them. This dude on IG makes videos pointing them out.

My friends and I figured it out about a year after it came out. Was probably in 8th grade. Not sure exactly what he was talking about, but knew it was drug related.But yes, it continues to get a lot of folks.

The new generation is just now realizing "Pumped Up Kicks" is basically a school shooting scenario. Not sure what they thought he was talking about having a gun and kids running, but yeah another upbeat sounding song that is darker than if you just hum along and don't listen too closely.

we used to make our own popsicles at home

Kool-aid in an ice-cube tray with those wooden "spoons" from ice cream cups or just re-use popsicle sticks, 😂.

I've got an old ice cream machine somewhere. Home-made ice cream is good if you do it right. May drag that thing out and fire it up this summer.

*edit: I'm late (Twss), looks like you all have already moved on to the home-made ice cream section 👀
