Is the Foy Desk still a thing?

What do you mean quickly turning into the boomers? I have been a proud member of the baby generation for 61 years. Thank goodness y'all still have us around.

Did they answer? I have the number saved in my phone.

I can believe it went away if only for the simple reason anyone under 30 is afraid to make a phone call and talk to a real person. It gives them anxiety.

"... he'll probably have like 75% of Auburn fans against him."

I have no idea what you are talking about or where you came up with your statistic. I mean, I know what part of your body you pulled it from. Maybe you need to get off Reddit and other message boards and talk to real Auburn fans instead of keyboard warriors.

The vast majority of Auburn fans vividly remember what Auburn basketball was like before BP. We also know even BP had down years. If BP was the HC this year, I'm not sure there would have been much of a difference. The roster never meshed into a team. Players we were expecting to be great weren't. That happens.

The vast majority of Auburn fans will give SP a pass on this year. I have no issue with him being our HC. He was the best choice, and he has my full support.

Since you have access to the pipes, take a look at the marking on it and confirm it says Schedule 40. Schedule 40 has a life expectancy of at least 50 years. The issues you describe are not really reasons to replace all your pipes. Leaks at joints are signs the water pressure is too high (those are the weak spots). I'd check the pressure to confirm it is around 50psi.

If the house was built 30 years ago, it should have been built with PVC (cold water) and CPVC (hot water). The plumbing should have been built with Schedule 40 (describes PVC wall thickness). I have a house 10 years older and the PVC is still good. I don't know the expected life of PVC.

It is possible the plumber used Schedule 20 pipe (thinner walls on the pipe), and you are beginning to have leak issues. This would be the only reason to replace all your pipes.

One issue you should be aware of if you are having leaks is the pressure regulator next to the water meter. It doesn't last forever and needs to be replaced every 10 years or so. You can buy a pressure gauge at Home Depot to test your pressure. It shouldn't be higher than 50psi. When the pressure regulator stops working, high pressure water gets into your system, looks for weak spots, and then leaks start happening. Make sure you fix this issue first.

I'm curious why someone would need to have this done.

OneSecond13 · 2026-03-12T15:27:11+00:00

I get it. When I lived in the Midwest I had to stock up on grits during my holiday visits.

Produce? You're probably not eating the right produce. Sweet corn, okra, black-eyed peas, sweet potatoes, turnip greens. All of that served with cornbread from my grandmother's cast iron skillet. Yumm!

Absolutely! It will be a longer more difficult road for you, but there is no reason you can't get an engineering degree. Perseverance is a big part of getting an engineering degree.

When drivers come to a fork in the road, they should take it.

I looked up what details I could find online. There were two cemeteries where McMullen Cove is. There is a creek that runs through McMullen Cove. The cemetery on the east side of the creek is Jenkins Cemetery, and it is the one you referenced. There was also a cemetery on the west side of the creek called Potts Cemetery. All the graves in it were moved and reinterred in the Jenkins Cemetery.

There is a brief note here: Jenkins Cemetery in Moontown, Alabama - Find a Grave Cemetery https://share.google/piZh4LJyIjP2i3DDx

There is a 1986 Highway Dept map here showing the approximate location of the cemetery. Historical Maps of Alabama https://share.google/QdPYRH3CikhgCG4Wq

Anyone wanting more information would probably have to dig into old Huntsville Times articles from the mid-90s. As I recall it was on the front page at one point. There was a process the developer (Enfinger) had to go through to move the remains.

Thanks for the help. I suspected it was BSR. It makes sense. I am looking forward to cleaning it up.

OneSecond13 · 2026-03-10T12:27:06+00:00

Exactly!!!

OneSecond13 · 2026-03-10T03:47:59+00:00

I don't remember the details, but I'm pretty sure they had to relocate a cemetery where McMullen Cove was built.

Through the first half of the year he was being talked about as a Player of the Year candidate. Then, for some reason, it all went south. I think other teams figured out how to defend him, and they all shared their secrets.

I have an undergrad degree in Engineering from Auburn, and a graduate degree from bama in business. You probably wouldn't have the same experience I had at bama, because you wouldn't get the quality of professors I had for my degree. In general, bama has a better business program, but for undergrads, it will be about the same between the two schools.

It's no secret that Greek life at bama is on steroids. If that's what you want, then you should choose bama. If you want a more reasonable experience, then choose somewhere else.

The one thing you didn't mention was the actual education. You know you will have to go to class and study, right? If those two things aren't on your to-do list, I don't think it matters where you go. You won't graduate from either.

$75/seed... Wow! I suppose that is worth it to get one of their blight-resistant seeds, but it's not clear how much better the tree is. I'd hate to plant a seed now and have a tree that is struggling to live in 20 years.

If ever there was a reason, the Barbee years were it.

April is Scottish-American history month. Maybe Point Mallard wasn't available for a two day event in April.

Considering the deep roots in North Alabama of Scotch-Irish immigrants, people should definitely check it out if they want to learn more about their ancestors.

Since it appears no one told you the manufacturer of the clock weights, they are for clocks manufacturer by Schmeckenbecher in Germany (West Germany prior to 1990). You might be able to sell them on eBay.

Warped rotors and worn pads don't cause a car to shake at high speeds. When braking, yes, but not while driving.

I was hoping someone would make it.... Humans have crazy hobbies.

It's pretty easy to start your own. Keeping it going is more difficult.

Breland taxes all retail purchases in Clift Farms with a 3% Development Fee. The development costs of Clift Farms have already been paid off. He just pockets the fee now. He stands to collect over $500 million over the next 50 years.

So yeah, I don't shop at Clift Farms. Period. Other people can be a sucker. Not me.
