I live in the small town that Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani (my future wife) lives in here in Oklahoma (Tishomingo, population of 3200). A friend of mine, who I went to school with, is on the Oklahoma supreme court. He was appointed by Kevin Stitt (Oklahoma governor) who is a frat brother of mine from Oklahoma State. We lived in the house together from 1993-95. That's about it.

Stefan blocked me on twitter a LOONG time ago. LOL (and I love DMB, been to like 10 concerts).

I got to shoot a Browning BAR a while back. Talk about weight! Would love to have one though.

But the "good guy with a gun" narrative is false?

I've had Direct FOREVER. One issue, I live in the sticks in Southern Oklahoma and can only get satellite TV and internet. I'm waiting on my Starlink equipment and as soon as I have it installed, I'm cancelling Dish and going with YouTube TV. I'll save like $200 a month total.

Has it resulted in wins as a head coach? He might be a good OC, but he's not a good HC.

I've fallen in love with lobster mac and cheese (good for you too if you want to gain 54 pounds overnight). The recipe is from Capitol Grille... I always get this when I stop to see my oldest at BoCo at Berklee in Boston. 8 ounces of lobster (bake 3-4 lobster tails, cracked open and exposed... easiest thing to cook. 375 in the oven for 8 mins. Take out and put butter on each tail, then bake again for another 8 mins). 1 lb of cooked Campanelle pasta, or any "tube" pasta that will hold the sauce/cheese 1 cup of Marscapone, 1 cup of Grana Padano (or parm if you can't find it), 1 cup of Havarti 1/2 cup of white chedder 4 tablespoons of parm, 2-3 tablespoons of butter and 1/2 cup of panko breadcrumbs 1 quart of heavy cream Cook the lobster, you can let it cool when you make the rest. Dice it into chunks once you can grab it and handle it... Cook the pasta. In a deep pan/skillet... pour the cream in and let it simmer under med heat. Once it starts to simmer, add the mascarpone, grana and havarti cheeses. Let that melt and thicken up. Add the pasta, cheddar and 3/4 of the lobster and mix it together. Once the cheddar melts, pour all of that into a baking dish. Melt butter then add the parm and panko. Spread that on top of the lobster mac. Bake in the over at around 400 degrees until the panko is browned.

It used to be 4.8"?!?! How did our great grandmothers pop out 16 children working with that? lol

But they didn't read the paper for 7-8 hours a day (like we do with our phones).

Just leaving this here....

(name that movie) Personal bucket list: SPORTS 1. See the Army/Navy game (GO ARMY) 2. See Oklahoma State win a FB title 3. See Buffalo win a Super Bowl 4. Watch the Texas Rangers win the WS during game 7 (in Arlington) 5. Watch the OKC Thunder win a World Championship in game 7 (in OKC) VACTION 1. Japan 2. Moscow 3. Egypt 4. Israel 5. Greece (I've been to Europe a couple of times, Italy and France)

They missed one part...

"I'll tell you what I'd do, man: two chicks at the same time, man."

I'll have to get on there when I get to my desktop at my "other" office (can't access FB on my school work computer). Thanks!

And adding... I had my old FB page linked to my mom and my little sister's pages... who are both gone. I can never be FB friends with them again to see their pages or read our old messages/memories. That is what I hate so dang much about Facebook and losing your account.

I really only use it now to keep up with groups that I take part in (Ole Miss parents group, Boston Conservatory parents group, NFA owners group, Oklahoma State fans, etc).

It actually can't find my email or phone number now.

I get that... but none of my friends can find my old account anymore. Just vanished. I tried that once, got to where you add your phone number to get the SMS code... then it never comes. I tried again and it said I've requested it too many times. Not once code came to my cell text message-wise.

Woke up this morning to find my Facebook account was hacked around 1:30 a.m. Someone managed to get into an email I used to set it up a couple of years ago, requested to change that email to their hotmail account, managed to get the code request (number) from my email and then totally deleted my old email. So my account is gone. 2+ years of memories gone. WTF would someone want to do that? There is nothing to gain by hacking and changing someone's account. PS: I can't request to get access because they even changed my phone number.

I had us trading Gabe and our 1st round pick along with a 2025 R1 pick to the Eagles for their #1st round picks. Then get Johnston at #10. Pipe dream...

I really would love to get Johnston... trade up for the guy then start filling OL and DB needs. He was a game changer at TCU and could be a JJ type receiver for us.

Background checks: 22% of guns are obtained without one So...with the 22%, how many were stolen or passed around in gang/drug communities? How exactly do you stop that from happening? You can't. Criminals aren't going to do a background check. There is a "myth" about gun-shows, very few "private sells" take place at shows. It's so overblown by the left and the media. You go to a gun show, 99% chance you're filling out a 4473 to buy a firearms. Protection orders & red flag laws: Already against federal and all state law to buy a firearm if you have a proactive order. Red flag laws are awful ideas. You're wrecking someone's constitutional rights (3-4 rights are being trashed right off the bat) and it's already been ruled as such... unconstitutional. Ban under-21s: Prevent kids from buying guns I'm not a fan of this due to SEVERAL reasons. It's already illegal for someone under 21 to buy a handgun (which is the most used firearm in shootings). You can go to war at 20, but can't buy a 1911? When do people no longer become kids? They are voting by 18. Again, a constitutional right was set in stone. My youngest daughter is a sophomore at Ole Miss (20 years old). An apartment right next to hers was broken into. She freaks out due to what happened in Idaho... and she can't go buy a firearm to protect herself? A 20-year old mom being threatened by an ex, can't buy a firearm? I have no issue opening up juvenile records for buying firearms. Do more extensive backgrounds. But BANNING pre-21 year olds? No. Safe storage: trigger locks, storing ammo separately from guns, etc. No reason to have ammo and a firearm stored separately. Makes no sense if it's all in a safe. That said, I have no issue making sure firearms are locked up when you're not present. It should be a law you MUST report any stolen firearm, why it's not is weird to me. I was basically single (lived alone) from like 2012-2021. Should I have to lock up my firearms when I'm sleeping alone in my house? Straw Purchases: Improved enforcement on straw purchases and limits to how many guns an individual can purchase in a month Straw purchases is already illegal and zero reason to stop someone from buying whatever they like. LEO showing up at someone's house to "take a look" at their guns is unconstitutional. Ammunition Checks: Require background checks for people buying ammo Pardon me for saying this, but GTFO. Not going to do anything but become a huge pain in the ass for all of us legal gun owners (which is most of America). Besides, I can roll my own ammo (which I do). How you going to prevent that? Background check every time I press a 300 Blackout round? End Immunity: End the immunity the firearms industry that subsidizes it and dis-incentivizes safer gun research You can sue gun manufactures. It's already happened (see Sandy Hook) Research Smart Guns It has been and it's flawed Empower research on guns and gun violence Zero issue doing research. Improved firearms training I don't have an issue with this, but what does that even mean? I train all the time. I train others (my girls, my fiancé, my dad). Are you going to demand or require a gun owner to do a training class? Again, your 2A rights come into play here. Ultimately the issue is with gang/drug violence in intercity. This is where most of the gun violence takes place. This is where most illegal gun use takes place. Until city LEO/mayors/governors take a strong stance on crime (hello? Chicago?) things will never change.

What would you like to see done that would have prevented last night? We (pro-2A people) keep asking these questions but the left's only replies? 1. Universal backgrounds (which is impossible and moronic) 2. Ban semi-automatic rifles (which are only used in a FRACTION of shootings)

Let me know where which part of the Bill or Rights cover lawn darts. How many people die until we outlaw hammers? Cars? Tobacco? Fast food?
