Recruiting Football Talk VIII

Thank you all for the kind words, especially the prayers🧡 I held Levi minutes after he was born and I thought my heart was full, but that night after, when I finally got to speak with him…..my heart, I tried to hold it together but failed miserably. He has the sweetest soul, he’s funny, the biggest cut up ever and loves his grandmother completely.
I can’t say a lot but it wasn’t bulling at school.
Our neighbor found his 11yo son hanging in his bedroom closet 10 years ago. It haunts him to this day.
All I know to do is tell him I love him so much and lift him up in pray to my Lord and Savior🙏🏻
again thank y’all so much🧡

If In-n-out is another overpriced, chain hamburger joint, then I'm not interested. Freddy's, 5 Guys, Culver's, Mooya, are all too expensive for what you get. Most of them are the exact same mashed down hamburger patty. The fries are about the only difference at these places.


We used to go to Steak and Shake a lot, when the boys were younger. We could take the boys and a few coupons and walk out of there for under $20. It's close to $20 at 5 Guys.....just for a cheese burger, fries, and a drink.

*I don't eat a lot of fast food but if I go through a drive thru for a hamburger, it's going to be Wendy's.

Sitting here crying like a baby, I didn’t understand why for a minute. Then it hit me, I’ve been bottling up my feelings for a couple of weeks.
I haven’t said anything on here because people have their own problems and don’t need me piling on.
Our 13yo grandson tried to commit suicide,praise the Lord he’s ok🙏🏻 We’ve had him stay with us a couple of days and he‘s now getting professional help but it took us all by surprise.
Please pray for our family and especially Levi🙏🏻

Peace and Love for you and yours.

God’s got you.

Agree. My OK style onion smash burgers at home kick their ass anyway.

Many prayers for your grandson, you and your family. My granddaughter tried to commit suicide two years ago at the age of 14 because of bullying. Three teenage boys that worked for me at the time all hated me because I made them do their jobs. They found out who my granddaughter was and bullied her unmercifully. It crushed my soul because it happened because of me. Thankful her boyfriend at the time, told on her. After a trip to the ER, she made it through and is flourishing now. The three boys involved, well, let’s just say that grandma took care of it.

It shouldnt be pricy but some stores mark it up heavy since they know people will pay for it. If it’s under $100, I think it’s a buy all day

If you can find it, most retail liquor stores will charge $150 - $180. Lately saw it for $154.99.

True story. Went to Capital Grill for a celebration. Sat in the bar area (preferred). Saw Stagg on the shelves and ordered. 2 oz pour. Did not ask the price. Bill comes. Price was $155. OMG. Bought the bottle but got 2 oz.

In n out is just overrated, not overpriced but in fairness I have not had anything from there since covid, so they might be overpriced now like almost everything else… 🤡

You don't want to know what I paid for a bottle in GA over the holidays. Guilty as charged....but it was Christmas.

You are doing the right things. Keep praying for him and keep showing him love. Show him how devastated you would be walking through the world without him. Hopefully it can be an anchor for him to make it through just a little bit longer when the pain seems insurmountable in the moment.

I'll give them a try but I have low expectations. I kept hearing about the "goodness of Pal's" and I finally got to try it a couple of years ago. It's ok, nothing like I was expecting.

The 2020 shutdown ruined the Steak and Shake. The one closest to our house was always really good and full of customers. They never got back on track after the shutdown. That was one of my favorite "cheap" places to eat.



I'll tell you who really needs to get their hearts right...... Krystal. The morons running that company is about to put themselves out of business. 4 cheese Krystals, fries, and a drink for $11+ is ridiculous. Who do they think they are....... 5 Guys???

Still have 'Krystals for a Quarter' ad in my head (from a long time ago). Haven't eaten there in a long time. Not a fan. Agree with you. If Krystal is not competing on price, they sure aren't going to win on food quality.

Yep. When I moved out, I ate Krystals 2 or 3 times a week because they were cheap. (50 cents each in the 90s)

I still get in the mood for Cheese Krystals with onions 2 or 3 times a year. I still love them but they ain't worth the price.

*When I was a kid, all Es on my report card meant a trip to Clinton Hwy for Krystals and a GI Joe from K-mart.
