Louisiana Golf

Resolved Question: Don't you all just love the south?

Tennessee The owner of a golf course was confused about paying an invoice, so he decided to ask his secretary for some mathematical help. He called her into his office and said, 'You graduated from the University of Tennessee and I need some help. If I were to give you $20,000 minus 14%, how much would you take off?' The secretary thought a moment, and then replied, 'Everything but my earrings.' Alabama A group of Alabama friends went deer hunting and paired off in twos for the day. That night, one of the hunters returned alone, staggering under the weight of an eight-point buck. 'Where's Henry?' the others asked. 'Henry had a stroke of some kind. He's a couple of miles back up the trail,' the successful hunter replied. 'You left Henry laying out there and carried the deer back?' they inquired. 'A tough call,' nodded the hunter. 'But I figured no one is going to steal Henry!' Texas The Sheriff pulled up next to the guy unloading garbage out of his pick-up into the ditch. The Sheriff asked, 'Why are you dumping garbage in the ditch? Don't you see that sign right over your head'. 'Yep', he replied. 'That's why I dumpin it here, cause it says 'Fine For Dumping Garbage'. Louisiana A senior at LSU was overheard saying... 'When the end of the world comes, I hope to be in Louisiana.' When asked why, he replied he'd rather be in Louisiana because everything happens in Louisiana 20 years later than in the rest of the civilized world.. Mississippi The young man from Mississippi came running into the store and said to his buddy, 'Bubba, somebody just stole your pickup truck from the parking lot!' Bubba replied, 'Did you see who it was?' The young man answered, 'I couldn't tell, but I got his license number.' Georgia A Georgia State trooper pulled over a pickup on I- 75. The trooper asked, 'Got any I.D.?' The driver replied, 'Bout whut?' North Carolina A man in North Carolina had a flat tire, pulled off on the side of the road, and proceeded to put a bouquet of flowers in front of the car and one behind it. Then he got back in the car to wait. A passerby studied the scene as he drove by and was so curious he turned around and went back. He asked the fellow what the problem was.. The man replied, 'I have a flat tire.' The passerby asked, 'But what's with the flowers?' The man responded, 'When you break down they tell you to put flares in the front and flares in the back. Hey, it don't make no sense to me neither.' And this from South Carolina 'You can say what you want about the South, but I ain't never heard of anyone wanting to retire to the North

Resolved Question: How many golf balls would it take to fill up the Louisiana Superdome?

No real reason. This question was posed to me in passing and neither google, nor ask.com, nor chacha could answer it.

Voting Question: can you do other sports if one sport is all year round?

Resolved Question: Do I have what it takes to get into a good college?

I'm getting a little unnerved about my future and all, so I was wondering if anyone could give me some advice when it comes to what it takes to get into college, especially a good one (i.e. Ivy League, Stanford, Duke). It isn't my ultimate goal to get into any particular school just for the name it might have. Obviously this is what it is going to look like but I just have always set such high goals for myself and I feel that I owe it to myself to challenge myself by trying to get into a college that might not be as easy as any other college. That's just what I want to do and I hope it doesn't offend anyone that doesn't share my same views when it comes to college. I'm only going to be a sophomore but I just want to know if what I've been doing my Freshman year is good enough and if I should just keep doing what I'm doing. I have a 4.0 GPA (I always have throughout my entire life at school). I am ranked number one in my class out of 34 students (I know it is EXTREMELY small. I attend a small Catholic Private school in a really small town in Northwest Louisiana) and the school only offers one or two AP course in the Junior year. I've won several awards at academic competitions including Literary Rally, Louisiana School Mathematics Competition, and first place in the Catholic Daughters Art competition. I won Academic All-Star (given to the student who excels the most in all classes of that year) and made A Honor Roll. I was voted the President of my Freshmen Class and Class Favorite (which doesn't really matter I just think it proves that I'm not some hermit that stays in and studies and doesn't socialize, and I feel colleges want someone that knows how to interact with other students). I am also a Representative on our school's Student Council, in which I helped organize two functions for Teacher and Faculty Appreciation weeks. I am in FBLA, YACA (Art Club), Drama Club, Campus Ministries (a club that organizes my school's religious functions such as Mass and other things) and I am the Secretary for the 4-H Club. 4-H is the club I consider my passion and I participate in countless things that have to do with this particular club and have won many awards in talent shows and exhibits displaying my art. I have played piano for 9 years and participated in the Federation of Music Clubs for 8 years, all of which I have earned a Superior + rating. Music is something that I truly love and am learning to play the guitar and I write many songs on the piano myself. I am a member of the Golf Team, but as a Freshmen I didn't get much play time. I love sports but I am not that athletic (I think you probably guessed that, from all that I have written I sound like quite the nerd). But anyway this usually forces to me to be the spectator as opposed to the player. This is pretty embarrassing to admit but I should be honest obviously. I am very active in community service projects and have participated in many particular projects collecting, shoes, food, clothing, toys, and other things for the less fortunate and those affected by the hurricanes in Southern Louisiana. I haven't taken the SAT or ACT yet (I did take the ACT in the 7th grade and earned the Grand Medal Award for earning one of the highest scores in the state, a 23, and the scores predicted that I would make at least a 30 in high school. Well thank you to anyone who took the long time to read all that. I tend to drone on a lot. I apologize haha! Thank you so much for your advice :) Well thanks for the compliments so far guys :) Thanks Bethany :). I know what you are saying that is exactly what my parents tell me. I hope that perhaps my writing and music talents can take me somewhere (although I am not stupid and I know that the chances are really slim, I do have some hope.) I have composed an entire song which won an award at a Parish Music Convention, and I am writing a novel right now...I know I'm such a nerd haha. But I EMBRACE It hahaa. Haha musicrulz I dont have any common sense? Well you are probably right, I worry way too much haha. I guess I'm trying to say that I do want to know if I could get into Columbia, which is my DREAM school.(I'm obsessed with New York City) And we all know about how the Ivy League is notorious for letting a select few in.

Resolved Question: Why do people make it seem as if all blacks live in the Inner City?

Hey, I just got in from class and I flipped the TV on ESPN. They are having a segment about the lack of blacks on the PGA (That's pro golf in case you didnt know). One of the guys started talking about how alot of blacks dont have access to the things it requires to become a successful golfer because of "financial reasons" and they have to do more things to make golf avaliable to the "inner city". As for the financial part, I can somewhat agree....but why do people think every dam* black person lives in the inner city? 54% of Blacks live in the south. States such as Alabama, Louisiana, Georgia, South Carolina, Mississippi, have a much higher % of Blacks than state like Cali, New York, Michigan, Ohio, etc. I have lived in Georgia and Alabama all of my life, and a good bit of the rural counties are majority black......with MOST of them being anywhere from 20%-45% black. Aside from that, there are even a good number of blacks in the suburban areas of many urban cities. They act like all black people live in the darkest alley of Baltimore, NYC, Philly, Chicago, Detroit. Most of these areas ARE black, but definetly not ALL or even MOST blacks live in the inner cities of NORTHERN BIG CITIES. well down south the % of black people in the "inner city" is not much of a difference as it is for many rural counties www.blackdemographics.com

Resolved Question: Variety of pear tree?

It was bearing fruit in the fall in Louisiana. The pears were only about the size of a golf ball. Had the traditional pear shape to it. The flesh was kinda gritty, and the skin was kinda brown with lighter specs on it. I have never seen a pear tree bear so late in the year. Now that spring is approaching it is getting small white blooms all over it. If anyone could help me identify it, i would appreciate it. And maybe where i could buy some more of these, as i want to have a food source for the local deer. Thanks again. its not very sweet for humans to eat

Resolved Question: why do they keep on pushing and saying it will create jobs?

wtf is this all about....?Las Vegas wants $2 million for neon signs. Austin, Texas says it could use $886,000 to build a 36-hole Frisbee golf course. Shreveport, Louisiana has asked for $6 million for three aquatic centers with water slides. And Chula Vista, California wants $500,000 to create a place where dogs can run without a leash. ok building these things will make a job for not very many. i'd venture to guess about 50 illegal mexicans. obunghole's own advisors have repeatedly said they CANNOT gaurantee even 1 job
