  1. So my wife worked for 4 years in Biloxi, MS after college doing a Teach for America type program.  She's always wanted the family (2 sons, age 13 and 7) to take a trip down there for a vacation.

    This spring break looks like it can happen.  We'd prefer not to head as far east as the FL panhandle to avoid college and HS spring break (I swear half of the entire state of  Indiana goes to FL for spring break).  

    My only real other experience and knowledge of the Gulf is New Orleans, having family there my whole life and visiting often until my mid-20s. 

    One recommendation given to us was Dauphin Island - it looks like something we'd prefer - more low key, outdoor stuff, good food, beaches, and good weather.  I just have no frame of reference if it is like Branson, MO and a tourist trap for old people and Ned Flanders.  If you know about the island, fill us in; or if you have other recs, fire away.

  2. Too many people to quote on this so far but regarding the pool and the bonus...

     

    Clark already put down a 7k deposit on the pool - he says it in the movie.  And he says he doesn't have enough in checking to cover that.

    Bonuses back in the 80s were a huge chunk of changed that was an expected although not guaranteed part of a salary; from what I've read or heard from older family members, anywhere from 20-30% of the salary.  Eliminating it would have been a big deal.

    According to aggy logic, The University of Phoenix should have the greatest football team.

    Probably could eventually have one better than aggy if they fielded a team.  They already have better academics than aggy.

    ND is a marquee name, but they're trash and next year is likely Freeman's last, so aggy will probably start 5-0 ranked in the Top 10 feeling great about themselves until the inevitable crash.

    First loss prediction...at Miss State.

    The Irish are not losing to these fucking goobers.

    Granted.  My post was referring to the Isreali hit on the Gaza hospital.  That is the one that would require justification.  Given Hamas' track record, their bombing an Israeli hospital doesn't seem all that surprising.

    And that's all I was making connections with after the post about Gaza striking a hospital with rockets.  Gaza hospitals have been hit too, but because they are Hamas hideouts.
