    I was born in LA, parents lived in LA till a few years ago when my dad retired. They live about an hour from Baton Rouge where I was born. They're right on the MS/LA border in a rural area but close enough to get to town if needed. Most of the food there is just like being in LA for the most...

    Sorry to disappoint on 2 accounts. I don't have millions and the only species I invest in heavily to hunt is a bighorn sheep. 21 years in a row with no luck to draw a tag. No desire to go to Africa for any reason. If I had millions I would buy a governors tag with the proceeds going to sheep...

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    On another topic, people on the interstate in the middle of nowhere who can't drive without having a friend. They speed up and slow down to make sure they drive right next to you at all times for no reason when another car isn't in sight in either direction.

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    I haven't got into the fine details since I'm out of town. I'll have to have my attorney review it. My grandmother set up a trust of land and put me at 51% and my sister at 49%. Her beef is that because she isn't a majority controller she can't sell land. I was put at majority for two reasons...

    That's not what you said. You lumped everyone who has/does hunt African game.

    Well you should be closer to the 430 because you should have unlocked the gun that leads to it on the T54 first.

    I should lag more often. I averaged 300 ping this match. 5 kills. I think the other team was confused I kept running around in circles lol. I kept thinking stick in it long enough for ping to clear up, never did. I was one of 3 tanks that lived lol. It took 3 shots to get the last 15% of arty...

    You must have 10,000% more patience than I have. Congrats on the job. In college for a short while I lived in a duplex. The neighbor was getting an education degree. I can't imagine the kids she taught. She was the most gullible person on the planet. You could havd said "aliens landed on...

    The only one that matters to me is I am the last surviving descendant of a signer of the TX Decleration of Indpendence. I'm currently hiring engineers and I really don't even look at their school. Of course we're basically shutting down a department of non college grads and replacing them...

    Shits great, it's really fast food here. I stopped at a gas station that sells them and also all kind of food like boudin (duh), sausage, po-boys, and all sorts of stuff which is the norm around here. Some of the best food comes from quick stop places. You can order boudin off the internet...

    Being sued by your sister after have increased her net worth tremendously in the last 10 years with ZERO risk and zero investment on her part. Basically someone saying "Here's a 1,000 acres that cost you less than nothing" and then you turn around and sue.

    T-57 is fun but it's really situational. Lots of people expect you to play as a heavy and don't udnerstand the concept of having to reload and minimal armor etc... Personally I would lean toward the T62.

    I guess I'm out of touch. I've billed $150/hour minimum to draw caged ladders and did a few hundred of them and they take about 15 minutes to do or less if they are similar or just alike in some cases. I didn't have an entire staff or even an office to pay out of that either. I don't see the...

    That's $1,000 hour billed that doesn't mean the attorney is getting $1,000 hourI assume. You count people that work under them, the office staff, the building itself, utilities, I assume they have some sort of insurance etc...It adds up.

    We give a decent bonus that hovers around 20% of gross pay each year. However we have a very small match for the 401k that tops out at 1k since we also would have to match 150 guys in the shop which would get expensive in a hurry if they all contributed. We're a small company with less 185...
