I grew some red savina habeneros a couple years ago. I didnt realize they were habeneros. I thought they were green peppers.

I ate one of them when it was green and it was a lot hotter than it should've been. I noticed one turning orange, so I stopped picking them. They were a wicked demon looking red color by the end of the summer.

I can't really explain how hot they were. You could chop one up and use about 1/10 of a single pepper in a pot of chili and the chili would be too hot for most people to eat. (Yes, I realize I said I can't explain how hot they were, then proceeded to explain how hot they were). . .

It was pretty cool growing them, but there was not really any use for them.

Oh i put them to use. Try a reaper sometime if you think habaneros are hot.

This has me laughing out loud

 

[LaagerVol]

I was lucky enough to never have a problem with alcohol, but I definitely went overboard way too many times during my late teens and early 20s. Wish I had never touched the stuff.

As I’ve gotten older and now have kids of my own, the funny memories and stories from college that center around booze and being drunk seem a lot less funny.

Baseball in the 70s was rough too...

 

[rikberry31]

That's exactly what my dad said to me about his habenaros...."wuss". I felt like I was going blind and he was horse laughing.



*That must be an over 70 super power or something. Immunity to unworldly hot foods.

I can eat a blue flame, have been since I was a kid.

Darvin Ham fired. I liken the Laker’s HC gig with LeBron like I did the Yankees manager job under George Steinbrenner before he got “banned for life” and real baseball people made steady, patient choices to build their most recent dynasty. That lasted as long as he could reemerge to FIX things.

 

[LaagerVol]

I'm glad you responded and I was wondering about it. I agree about knowing more now, than then, and doing things differently. I would've handled discipline a little better, especially with my oldest.



I was fortunate to have a job, when the kids were growing up, that would let me go to inschool events and not have to burn vacation hours. I was a volunteer coach for each sons teams for a while. I played outside with them as much as I could and didn't value money over time with them. I still feel like I missed so much. Life goes by too fast.

I helped coach my sons football teams, went to all of their basketball games and after school events, but I worked 100 miles away from home (fighting Nashville I-24 traffic) and had to use my PTO a couple hours at a time to be able to be present at those times. Days they didn’t have events, it was leave the house at 5am and get home after 7pm every day, their whole lives. A lot of time missed.

Ray Charles could see that coming. Darvin Ham is a scapegoat, hearing that LeBron wants Tyrone Lue as new HC.

1,000mg? I wonder if we can distill this down into a drink like moonshine?

Get your greens from a jar.

 

[VolsDoc81TX]

Thanks. Cracking up laughing and nearly falling out of my chair may have been inappropriate.

So that statement means that on more than one occasion they were confronted by family who didn’t want the cremation after said cremation. It’s often amazing to me how little attention is paid when people are presented with non-reversible processes.

I don’t understand NFL GMs. This guy has averaged roughly 25 catches, 355 yards, and less than 3 TDs per season the last 4 seasons, and made $16M last year. SMH

We grow Okra and Jalapenos, and then the wife pickles them together. So good.

You can share you know

 

[mrMet]

So maybe we should apply the same restrictions to alcohol?

I may be biased but no!

 

[Glitch]

I like the optimism

 

[VolsDoc81TX]

You don't have that kind of pull

Be glad @DarthVol1 like you!

 

[Glitch]

Over medium, in omelets, or scrambled.....all other eggs can GIT




*I'm not trolling or senile.

Over-hard, omluts, hard boiled, or maybe scrambled if all else fails.

According to the ESPN scroller:

Kirby Smart is now making $13 million per year.

Who needs that much money?

Where does this madness end?

And schools (HCs and ADs) love telling congress, "but we can't afford to pay players!!" ..... "but luckily our fans can afford to fund NIL!"

What a great scheme they have going

 

[knoxvol52]

Braves vs Dodgers starting tonight in L.A..

@butchna

[knoxvol52]

Stamos starting game 1 vs Florida.

Beam probably starts game 2.

Or the conferences could opt out and create their own leagues and the ncaa falls into ruin. Either way, schools and even more so conferences are going to make out well in all this, at least the sec and big 10 that is.

The schools are the ones that will have to pay. They are the crooks behind the ncaa. Always have been.

The unis and conferences will have to pay up now and in the future, whether under the NCAA or NCAA 2.0 or SECBIG10AA.

The players will get paid eventually and no frontman is going to protect the members from these lawsuits and the rule of law.
