re: Can someone OnX screenshot me a property line map of this place?

I tried to but looks like I only pay for the 1 state property lines. Hopefully someone else with more $ than me can chime in.

I told my students that there is a place in this society for bullying. They looked at me in bewilderment, so I explained what I meant to them. My course evaluations were still 4.9 out of 5. There's hope for our college students.

Same here in North Louisiana with great results. My wife and I were driving through the neighborhood yesterday and it's amazing how different the yards looks compared to those that obviously didn't use a pre-emergent. I applied another round last week before it rained so hopefully it continues to do its thing.

My great uncle had it. It doesn't kill people that fast

It can absolutely kill people that fast. My coworker passed recently from ALS and it went incredibly fast. His doctor told him it’s different for everyone, but if the symptoms start high on the body (voice, neck, head, etc.), it goes much quicker than if the symptoms start lower on the body. I can’t attest to that being the case, but it was for him. It started in his vocal cords, and he passed less than a year after symptoms started.

ETA - he had bulbar-onset ALS and the life expectancy is much shorter for people with that type. High-up is what he told me but it looks like bulbar-onset is when the first symptoms are with the vocal cords and swallowing muscles.

I’m not sure how may actual sits I had this season but I was out there 73 days. I had quite a few all day sits and some 2 a days with a lunch break. I have a very supportive wife. Maybe she just doesn’t like seeing me!

Area 2 public. I couldn’t help myself. Last sit of the season. I’m ground hunting in a bit of an open area in a reforestation area. Wind is whipping but I’m mostly protected by downed trees and brush.

Despite the opportunities given to me and hunting really hard, I unfortunately didn’t kill one, but hopefully next year I get on one

My first season bowhunting public, I killed what I thought was a doe. It was a button buck. Live and learn. Next season, I got skunked. The last 4 seasons have been really good for me. It’ll happen for you.

Area 2 Public.

Saddle and platform

Sits 71 and 72. Final sits of the season since weather will suck tomorrow.

Morning sit was the same place as yesterday afternoon. Ended up seeing 6 does and 1 big deer. Didn’t see its head so not sure what it was. Let the does walk since the freezer is full.

Afternoon sit was near a different reforestation area. Saw 4 does but nothing else. It’s been a fun season. Good luck everyone!

Area 2 Public. Mathews V3X 33 overlooking some thick stuff in a reforestation area. Lots of sign but nothing came through this afternoon. I’ll try again in the morning. This was sit #70, and it was a pretty view.

Living vicariously through y'all for the next couple days. This ice storm in north Louisiana is putting a damper on my hunting plans. I’m at 68 sits for the season so I can’t complain. I’m hoping to get a few more before the season ends. Good luck!

No idea. Get a quote from a couple other companies and see what they come back at. If it’s in the ballpark, you might as well have the builder do it so it will be done when the house is done.

Really interested in a diabetic diet. Doc is going to put me on one of the GLP1’s starting next week.

I was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes in April 2024, and my doc wanted to put me on a GLP1. I asked her to hold off and see if I could manage it on my own with a better diet and exercise. I ended up losing 35-40 pounds and I've kept it off. My A1C levels are in the normal range now (mid 5's) with no medication.

For my "diet", I cut out as many empty carbs as I can. I don't watch calories or anything like that. I eat a high protein, high fat, low carb diet. I eat a lot of meat, fruits, and vegetables. I don't drink soft drinks or sugary drinks at all unless it's the occasional beer or pour of whiskey. When my wife makes red beans and rice or spaghetti (or anything with rice or pasta), she makes brown rice or whole grain pasta for me. I also cut out almost all fast food completely. That's it. No magic pill when it comes to the diet.

For exercise, I get plenty now. I go to the gym and lift 2 to 3 times a week. I walk or run at least 3 miles a few times a week. If you do that combined with a cleaner diet, you may not need medication to control your diabetes.

I read it as the top portion was the total deported and the bottom section broke it down to criminal records, with 2100 having no record. But the chart isn’t clear. Regardless, if they’re here illegally, they need to go.
