One right now - North Georgia Trout Online. We always raised our funds with bucket raffles at a "Fall Fling" on items donated by our various sponsors who generally consisted of local fly shops, guides, and some private trophy water areas and resorts. Funds are used to keep the old style message b...

[quote] Why do businesses with public bathrooms mount the toilet paper dispensers at ankle height?[/quote] Blame it on the architect. The HC stall will always have the toilet paper at a decent height (minimum 16" from the floor to the bottom of the dispenser), but sometimes the architect gets go...

As usual, I'm late to the party, but here goes- Flyfishing. Whether wading or from a boat. Generally its for trout on the Chattahoochee near Atlanta, but you can catch bream, sac-a-lait, bass, striper, and redfish on a flyrod and it's fun as hell. Your kids can enjoy it as well. Eventually th...

[quote]Atlanta is the same way.

Why should we declare war against the cartels? All y'all crying and cheering for military action need to go back to your X-Boxes and get your overload of testosterone lowered a bit.

That's a helluva lot closer to DC than I would have thought. I had always said that if the South ever seceded again, Richmond, VA would certainly NOT be the capital. Is it possible that I was wrong about Virginia and they still have some people that aren't slobbering dogs for the DC elite?...
For work it's either a Sewell suit from a manufacturer here in Bremen, GA, or, if I'm feeling spiffy and full of myself, Hickey Freeman (but they ain't cheap).

[quote]Parallel parking[/quote] I was pretty good at that as well, and because of it I could almost always find a parking spot right behind the dorm when I lived in Pentagon at LSU.

re: Would you buy a townhome?

Posted by Swamp Angel on 5/9/24 at 5:33 pm
No. Wouldn't buy a townhome. There are 40 new units for sale at the edge of our neighborhood in Lawrenceville, GA. Going rate on these in particular is $420,000 for three floors (1600 s.f.) and a two car garage. Since we're moving away from Gwinnett county and over to west Georgia to be closer to...
