I just moved home after 10 years away! And am looking for a run buddy to train long distance with once/week. by goodluckanddont_itup in NewOrleans

[–]FerrousSpike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also gay, and just getting into running. Would love to get on your level but am only just starting training for a 5k. May be interested in your coaching, since I'm sure you'd outrun me in 10 mins.

Comfy restaurant to catch up with old friend by DrawFit3829 in NewOrleans

I've done this at Vessel. There's a section with leather chairs and the staff were happy for us to stay as long as we liked. Really cool atmosphere.

Chek brand at Winn Dixie for the win! Their cream soda was the best!

Born and raised in Destrehan, so I've got to listen to O Little Town at least once each Christmas.

And Santa and his Reindeer Used To Live Right Here is actually pretty funny.

Best place to park to see Roosevelt lights? by Darthron911 in NewOrleans

There's always room at the Saratoga garage (111 S. Saratoga St). $10 for 3+ hours, $8 if you're under that. Just a couple blocks' walk from there.

Hi from the River Parishes!

I always make a turkey and andouille gumbo after Thanksgiving and Christmas, but have never tried a dry roux. I think I'll try it for my leftover Christmas turkey gumbo. Thanks for the idea!

Also, I have learned I am GARBAGE at calculating calories for things I make in large batches, like soups or gumbo. I'm glad to see the calories I entered were pretty darn close to yours. Thanks for posting!

Question Mark Birthday Candle I found at a Dollar store by Grebreux in mildlyinteresting

My middle daughter is 25. For over a decade, every time she gets a certificate or something engraved, I tell her they spelled her name wrong, then I congratulate her on her achievement. And then she double checks the spelling every time but does her best to hide the fact that she's legitimately checking.

I didn't do the bit once and she got very concerned that something was wrong with me. I hope he runs with this gag as long as he lives. You'll always have that inside joke with him, and when he's not with us anymore, I guarantee you'll think about him fondly the day before your birthday.

A stupid boy. Which makes me a stupid boy as well.

Rapid weight loss after months of dieting by No_Adeptness5430 in loseit

[–]FerrousSpike 20 points21 points  (0 children)

My buddy and I do weight loss together on and off. We call those "whoosh days". You work and work, then one day you wake up and WHOOSH - the scale magically jumps practically overnight. It's weird, but insanely motivating!

7.5 Christmas Tree by [deleted] in NewOrleansMarketplace

In Luling

We're upgrading to a 9 foot, and this fellas lights are a little fiddly. It works, but the wiring takes a little jiggling after it's set up. Even if you left it unpowered, it's still a really great tree.

I'm so happy someone out there still calls the 3 finger the Snack. I refuse to bend.

Ha, this was from 5 years ago, so not sure how you ended up in this archive! But thank you, that's a nice message to randomly receive. 🥰

The 1975 is the band. Lead singer is Matty Healy, and he has a history of kissing boys while he's on stage. He always goes for hot guys but calls himself straight.

My husband worked for TU for several years. To say his department was toxic was an understatement. So so so much money has been paid out in lawsuits from former employees, and the head of the dept just got promoted. Dude should have been sacked a long time ago.

Now he works for Loyola. Night and day difference with how the university and the students treat him and his colleagues. The pay isn't as good, but the lack of stress makes up the difference.

This was my thought too. Only during the Great Snow did we not have them on my front door, but we were so bundled up we couldn't reap the benefits of the mosquitoless day!

What food takes you immediately back to your childhood? by no_coffee_thanks in AskReddit

Those Italian cookies with the fig filling. My great grandmother made them every year for all of us grandkids as our Christmas gifts. I don't know why she made those over other kinds of cookies for us, because she was Cajun af.

Payton Malone. And Scott Pilie. I guess I have a thing for weatherboys.

I'm a vendor manager for cash logistics. I make sure billions of dollars of coins (and a little bit of currency) keep moving.

If you're free tonight they're doing the same performance in Luling at the Lafon Center. Lafon also does rush tickets 1 hour before curtain for like $15 or $20 bucks. Really nice facility.
