I cannot get 6 people together to play Taboo, who in the hell just hang out planning who the next victim is going to be. How much can you get from spliting the goods 6 ways from a home invasion. Someone should have put a cap in their azzes.

I can only see negative things coming out of a CNN documentary that highlights black males in the Augusta-Richmond County School System.
Well I hope whoever Col. Co. gets to do the sidewalks isn't the same company that widened Furys Ferry Rd.
Try using the folks working in SC. They are moving at breakneck speed and without all the hassle.
7,000 marijuana plants worth 14 million?...how do they know what the value is?..just asking.
FFH - I thought you were not in favor of using guns for personal protection. It seems we do battle on that topic often! :-)
It looks as if 1 plant is worth $2,000 so 7,000 x $2,000 = $14,000,000. Did I pass the math portion of the CRCT?
They called me for the value. It's what I offered. They are thinking about it. I expect an answer by Monday. I figure with some mix and filler, I can get it to 17 million. Minus what the distribuotrs cost, I look to clear a million. After taxes, that will come out to a smooth 600 G.....not my best but enough to keep the bills paid.
Did anyone 'sex' the plants? A male marijuana plant is worthless, it is the female marijuana plant that has a value.
You will never hear me say that law abiding people should not carry weapons. However, I do not feel that they should carry them in airports and similar venues. I would be the first one to put a cap in some of these thugs azzes.
pete..Be sure and keep some of the good stuf for your friends, now.
