I have three girls. By the time you have the third one, coffee and alcohol are basically requirements. I love my kids but 4 females in the house = all the emotions.

I bet you buy a lot of toilet paper for your household

One of my best friends has 5 females in his house----4 daughters and a wife-----he once told me that toilet paper was one of his biggest expenses

Which one? I'm on Theodore Rex (Part 2) but loved The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt (Part 1)

The Wilderness Warrior: Theodore Roosevelt and the Crusade for America

Clowney.. he could’ve played in the NfL immediatley. Eric berry, trey smith, Trevor Lawrence, cam newton could’ve, there’s actually a lot out there.

I don’t see the harm in being able to enter yourself in the draft after high school and at Any point In college... if you don’t get drafted, then you can come back or sign with a college.

Three concussions at age 18, and now the player is suing the NFL. The frontal lobe in the brain influences decision making and impulse, and it continues to develop into a person’s early to mid 20’s. It is something I have read about in my profession. Imagine an 18 year old getting hit multiple times by a bigger 23-25 year old. Be careful what you ask for.

Watch the Aaron Hernandez documentary. I have no issue with the NFL requiring three years removed from high school.

Cicada? I've heard stories about them as delicacies over there...

"Cicadas... the shrimp of the land..."

I’ve had plenty of fried insects and a few raw grasshoppers

We don’t play in the nfl we play in the sec. how many star sec players never panned out in the nfl? That’s the argument.

If Tennessee signed those 9 zero star guys the fans would melt down is the point. Stars do not matter.

up to 14k you can.

Per year. Per person. Not exactly that restrictive. Have known 1 couple to receive 28k/year from their rich aunt trying to minimize estate taxes once she passes by passing it all out ahead of time.

 

[SoilVol]

Those that participate are HUGE A Holes and you guys act like they run perfect conservartory systems in third world countries. All that money that rich dicks pay to kill majestic creatures goes right into protecting preserves? LOL. And I'm the ignorant one. Cool.

Yes, you are the ignorant one. Not me, the guy with a degree in wildlife management from the University of Tennessee and has written case studies on wildlife management in Africa and who's good friend is a manager on a reserve in Botswana.

So you've eaten a dog before?

Ever eaten Chinese? you might have too and just not known it

Wrong. Educate YOURSELF.

This discussion is something I've been studying for years.
What Bucky said was correct, the intent and actually worked... for a bit.
But because humans are involved, corruption has taken over. More hunting license are being granted than were ever supposed to be, by people accepting bribes. Poachers are also using the guise of trophy hunting and officials are skimming from the funds, so the proper amount is not reaching conservation efforts.

Figures are being faked, such as Botswana now claiming any elephant that crosses their border, as being part of their population.
Botswana claims annual increase for a total of 237,000 but the real number appears to be closer to under 132,000.

 

[Devo182]

up to 14k you can.

15k per year. Per person. Not exactly that restrictive. Have known 1 couple to receive 28k/year (back when it was 14k/person) from their rich aunt trying to minimize estate taxes once she passes by passing it all out ahead of time.

no. not if it's less than 14k. That could have changed recently but I doubt Trump would have taxed that given his position. I cant deduct my moving expenses anymore though. I'm bitter about that.

Even then it is the person giving the money, not the one receiving it. They just have to deduct the amount over 15k against their combined lifetime estate and gift tax total exclusion amount....which is a meager 11+ MILLION..per person. Lol. Just 20 years ago it was only 650k...no comment.

This is accurate. Nothing is black and white. Everything is nuanced.

Since you responded, how many times did production slow down waiting for the Union specialist to get finished with his mandatory break so that he could change the light bulb? I'm glad you're enjoying your retirement.

I have one of the best union stories to tell. I'm not a union guy just so you understand my take on this.
I was attending a food show, in Chicago, a few years ago. It was at their massive conference center and we shipped a pallet of product for our display. When the truck arrived at the dock, I went out there to get it off the truck and off the dock. Some big security guy told me to get away from the truck and fill out a request form to have "a union dock worker" get it off the truck. I was told it would take about 4 hours because they were backed up. Long story short, the union guy put a pallet jack under the pallet and pulled it 10 feet from the truck, where I tool possession, and charged me $275 for his effort.

True story! Chicago is a union town and nothing gets moved unless a union worker touches it

Is there bacon in said doughnut? If so, then I wholeheartedly agree.

My favorite part of this is you can attract some real coaching and recruiter talent by proving to them already that they have the chance to get a promotion as other coaches get bigger opportunities.
It also helps in the coaching cycle if you already have your next position coach waiting in the wings.

I believe Coach Osovet will someday become an OC and I really hope it's at UT when Chaney hangs it up.

 

[Batman1948]

SEC schools are only schools getting 50 mil.
Paying athletes $25,000 would bankrupt most athletic departments except for P5 and some P5 would struggle.
Has to be equitable across the board.

P5 is football and everything else is just for fun

LOL. Wrong.
