    Politics Trump’s Health Thread

    Says a 5 percenter. America is one of the better countries but we have too many that are hungry, sick, poor and homeless to think we're the best. Being proud of our country is good. Being proud to the point of ignoring where we need to improve is idiocy.

    Off-Topic Hippy Stores of Chapel Hill

    Been a long time since I saw Billy. It might have been at Danny Pickett's wake. Don't recall him being at Bill Fallin's.

    Off-Topic Hippy Stores of Chapel Hill

    I remember both Abraxas and Billy, Jr. Actually Billy and I knew with a lot of the same people. Didn't hang out with them a lot because I married and had kids early.

    Not exactly a hippie place but Tom Robinson's Seafood started in an open air shed behind Tommy Gardner's convenience store that was later PTA, Colonel Chutneys, Pantana Bobs, etc.. Corner of North and Rosemary? I forget street names as soon as I know where I;m going.

    Sports College Basketball 2025-26 season thread

    Yeah. When this started, kids as young as 16 were playing pro in Europe and the talent level was so different that a lot of leagues had limits on how many Americans a team could have. Only the Americans were making any real money. There was some logic involved .

    Off-Topic Retirement spots

    Just clicked on this thread for the first time. I'm disappointed. I was hoping it was a new prognosis about the spots on Trump's hand.

    I vaguely remember it being in one of the basements near The Cave. I want to say it was under the Colonial Drugstore.

    That must have been the late 60s. I know Lilypad (?) was on W. Franklin in 70.

    I knew the guy who owned the Dandelion. He ended up working on a couple of jobs with me after he lost his lease.

    Off-Topic This thread is totally random

    I was always a bit curious, although I never asked, why my mom married chose the 28th of December for both her weddings . She married my dad in 46 and then almost 10 years after she was widowed in 53, my stepdad in 62.

    It would help if some of them would drop out after losing in the qualifiers.

    Even worse is that, starting from the top down, the only thing you are least likely to find in this whole administration than a truly qualified person is an honest one.

    Politics Trump Addresses The Nation

    Insinuation is reeks more of conspiratorial revelations than citation. Remember who his audience is. He's rallying the faithful.
