D-League

[Sawnee Cat]

I saw where MLB is considering moving the All-Star Game out of Atlanta too.

This is why I am drifting further and further away from sports. There is no reason for a professional league to dictate how a state should conduct their elections. They are around to entertain not become political. Georgia can survive without the Atlanta Braves.

Ok here is the original recipe I got

4- chicken breast boneless
2-cans cream of chicken
1-stick of butter
2-15 0z. cans chicken broth
24oz. frozen egg noodles

Cook the chicken, soup, butter and broth in a crock-pot on low for 6-7 hours
Take chicken out and shred
Put chicken back in, add the noodles and cook on low for another 2 hours. Stir a few times while cooking.


This my short cut, We use a Mrs. Millers dry egg noodles we get at Kroger

I cook the chicken in the oven till done, then shred it

While the chicken is cooking, I take the butter, cut it in smaller pieces, melts quicker, put it in the crock-pot

Then I take the soup put in in a bowl add some of the chicken stock and stir it up real good then put it in the crock-pot

Then I put the shredded chicken and the noodles in and cook about 3 hours on low, I also pour the stock that was in the pan that I cooked the chicken in. After about 2 hours or so I start taste testing. Does this make since to you? I just can't leave a recipe alone, I have to mess with it somehow!!!

I might make again (3x) this weekend. First time, I used boneless chicken breasts, but this last time I substituted boneless chicken breast tenders. Made past two occasions with Mrs. Miller's Old Fashioned Egg Noodles (large and medium).

Just love it. Thanks again.

I had totally forgotten about that.

Same function as warning tracks. When OFers started up the grade, a) they knew they were getting close, and b) unlikely to hit that concrete thing very hard running uphill. Also gave fans a better view of that beautiful grass and the outfielders making plays.

I remember it....both in person and on TV. Have any idea the grade/slope and height of it?
Memory seems to think that it was fairly steep and fairly high.
Can't remember if other ballparks had it .

Atlanta sure showed the Braves.

I'm the same way. If I want to hear about politics, I'll turn on Fox, CNBC, etc. I turn on to watch sports to get away from it, not to hear someone else's view on politics.

 

[UK_fan_41102]

I'd like to see conservatives/Republicans/christians and anyone else who is anti wokeness start acting like those folks. Boycott and/or threaten to. Money talks.
There's already some that I won't do biz with....like to see it become a national movement.

Mark Hamill and a few actors are saying they won't work in Georgia until it's changed. Wth has Mark Hamill done since Star Wars for him to be calling the shots? Hell, he should be happy to even get a job offer nowadays.

Go to dark chocolate, the real dark chocolate and not that Nestles stuff. I have been indulging in 92 to 95% dark chocolate for well over a year now and eat very little a day. I find my sweets cravings are nearly gone. I still indulge at times but it is usually when it is "conveniently" placed in front of me. I don't go hunting a sugar fix. (This is an ole boy that would eat anything with sugar in it.) The dark chocolate is supposed to be healthy for you too heart-wise. It can be an acquired taste but it is worth the effort. I am 5'11" and I stay between 205 and 215 now. I was up there at one time for a good many years.

Oh, and a benefit is you can mostly keep your stash because it is not something you'd readily eat... My kids (30 and 37) leave it alone when they visit now. They tried it and leave it to me now...

Most of the chocolate I eat is dark but not as high a percentage as you. Will have to work my way into that. Love my Susie Q's though too. Cookies, cake, pies, M&M's and a myriad of other sweets. My first sweet for today was at lunch. I went with a PB&J sandwich. Strawberry Jam that is. That will run my calories up a bit but, that is all I had for lunch so. Breakfast was 4 eggs and some grapefruit juice so, I am still on track at about 1000 calories for the day. Means I can eat pretty good tonight.

Since I used to live in Atlanta and still have kids and g'kids in Georgia I still pay a little attention to what is going on down there. Wasn't there also something about 2-3 years ago where all Hollywood idiots were going to boycott the state? Maybe an anti-abortion law that was passed? Can't remember but I remember the actress (the one that had the selfie of her in a crocheted Covid mask...lol) demonstrating there.

Since this is the D...I'll leave my politics at that.

Which you like best tenders and the noodles wide or med?

Same here. Several no longer get any of my money.

Atlanta has a Trolly Car. Built with Federal Money. This White Elephant cost $100 Million Dollars. And that's not all. The Maintenance on this thing is Five Million per year. And that's not all. Nobody hardly rides it. The route it takes is from CNN to The MLK Memorial. It could have easily been routed to where the Braves played ball. And that's not all. A study was made on the fares it brought in (25K per year I believe.) Do the math on that. The current Mayor wants to tear the City Jail down or house Homeless there. I'm not kidding.

Surprised I never heard of that from my kids. Especially the one that use to live up your way. The other two are way North, so I imagine they try not to pay attention to Atlanta.

I'm not surprised that the city would spend that much $$$ on such a thing. Especially knowing it's route.

No other parks had it in my memories.

I don't think it was steep as you're imagining. I want to say maybe a 3-4'' rise over 25-30' depth. OFers could run up it vs. climbing it.

Lesson to be learned. Move to the North Georgia Mountains. I guarantee you will live longer breathing that fresh mountain air.

Here's a no-fooling April 1 update:

My daughter just had her baby! Charlie, three weeks early, 7.5 pounds. Some needed joy in that family -- her husband is the guy whose 35-year-old brother, a Defense Department lawyer, died suddenly last summer. His name was James, so that's the baby's middle name. They ive in Kansas City, so a visit there is in my future in a month or so when they all settle in.

I rode MARTA one time in my life. I caught it at the top end, just off GA400 and took it to the airport. What an experience that was. After I returned from my business trip my wife met me at the airport. She begged me to never ride it again and I agreed. That was in mid 1990's. It is much worse now.

After that initial experience I drove to the airport and parked my pick up. I was trying to save my company some expenses when I took the thing. BUT my life was not worth the hassle of dealing with people who should have been locked up in the county jail or better yet in an insane asylum.

 

[Bert Higginbotha]

I totally agree. My favorite little city on earth. The beaches and sand dunes are large and spacious. Everyone who loves history and old stuff should visit St Augustine.

Years ago most everybody headed to Florida would stop in at the Fountain of Youth and drink out of the same fountain Ponce de Lean did. Now people just fly over it on their way to Orlando or Miami. They miss out a very interesting place.

Soon the only thing that St Augustine will be famous for is the birthplace of Bert Higginbotham's granddaughter.

Sorry but that is what it boils down to!

Woop! woop! Hows it hangin' fellas. You too Bko, nice to see you back at it.
I had a bet with ATX....said I wasn't coming back unless he found a can of collard greens & big bag of red lentils at the car wash! And I'll be damned if he didn't find some today....sooo here I am.
Hope all is well with everyone. I have not kept up. I guess the weather, covid, Dad passing away and a shitty basketball season kinda got me down this winter.
But hey the sun is shining and just wait til next season!

Glad you're back!!

Hey congrats Gramps! Wonderful news.

Thanks 82 -- I'm keeping it real and going by Papaw, which was what our family has always used...Gotta stick with those Kentucky traditions, even when exiled on the east coast.

 

[Bert Higginbotha]

Austin -- That's a funny story. It reminds me of the classic scene in Fawlty Towers, a show I used to love, when Basil has German guests at his inn...Needless to say, you'd never get this on TV today.

Folks, my father-in-law survived the Kamikazes in WWII. He always told me that if he ever saw a Jap in real life, he would kill him.

People don't realize what price some folks paid in WWII. The Japanese were the most brutal bastards ever know in warfare. My father-in-law was very bright, but he could not handle 4 straight days of constant attack by the Kamikazes. They would give their life to kill you. That is sick. In WWII the most dangerous thing to a U.S. sailor was the god damned Kamikazes.

My father-in-laws best friend jumped overboard rather than have to face more Kamikazes. My father-in-law died hating anything that was Japanese.

I've seen a bunch of his videos. Particularly when he was testing Sea Foam for cleaning engines internally. The guy is sharp.

Yes he is. I was surprised the Sea Foam worked as well as it did. You could tell he was too.

A Full Moon Helped To Finally Free The Stuck Boat ‘Ever Given’ From The Suez Canal

Rising tides from a full Moon provided the Ever Given the breathing room it needed to escape from its stuck position in the Suez Canal, according to reports.

www.forbes.com

Awright, awright... Go ahead and laugh...

I was listening to someone about digging a post hole at the right time of the moon. At that time a person I was fond of told me in one of his events; "If you dug a post hole at the wrong time of the moon there wouldn't be enough dirt to go back in the hole. He stated that, if the moon could control the ocean it could suck dirt out of a post hole too." That person; Jerry Clower

I first set a post with my grandfather when I was probably 8 or so. I asked him what we were going to do with all the extra dirt and he told me there wouldn't be enough to fill the hole. I was too smart for that. Ha, when he tamped it all in around the post it was not full. Imagine that, an old farmer knowing more than an 8 year old from the city.

I boycotted Taco Bell when they had that little dog in their commercials and they finally got rid of him. I boycotted Sonic because of those two dudes in the car making inane jokes. Haven't seen them in awhile. Might go back.

Let me know what you want me to fix next.

Thanks 82 -- I'm keeping it real and going by Papaw, which was what our family has always used...Gotta stick with those Kentucky traditions, even when exiled on the east coast.

Congrats. For my five grandkids (three are triplets) I am Papaw. That was what we called my grandfather on my mothers side and the only grandparent I knew. His wife died when I was 1. He was always telling jokes and whenever he would come over, he would come in and tell me some new jokes no matter what time it was. I get my sense of humor from him. He died when I was in Germany and I could not go one leave because we were in the middle of a yearly unit test in Grafenwhor. Really wanted to go to his funeral but, they would not let me.

My wife's parents only had four years of school between them......which is a testament to hard work.......they lived by the moon signs........there was talk somewhere on the Paddock about family cemeteries......my FIL would decide how many wheel barrows of dirt to keep to fill the grave back in by the moon sign.......they planted crops by the moon, litterally everything in their lives was planned around the moon signs......I plant my garden by using the signs....I have for years.......

So now Delta Airlines is saying since Georgia now requires an ID to vote they are racist. Yep, it is racist to request someone to identify who they are.

So the next time I fly Delta I guess I can tell them a BIG NO when they ask for my ID. It would be very racist of Delta to require I ID myself to board a plane to fly to Atlanta. And you know Delta does not want to contribute to racism.

There is something strange going on in Atlanta when major corporations whose HQ's are there push their WOKENESS on the world. Looking at you Coca-Cola, Home Depot and Delta Airlines. Your companies are run by idiots.

Delta CEO...open mouth, insert foot......just saw this.

'After Delta Air Lines’ CEO opposed a huge bill overhauling voting laws in a state that narrowly voted for President Biden in 2020, Georgia Republicans took a last-minute shot at the airline.


The Georgia state House passed a bill repealing a tax exemption on jet fuel in the final hours of the legislative session, targeted squarely at one of the state’s biggest corporations and the largest provider of flights into and out of Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport.'
