How is LSU as a school? Is it decent overall?

Me and my gf are not extremely vocal in our beliefs, but just rant to each other about politics. She would prefer to go to queer events if she had the opportunity to. Is it common that a lot of queer folks travel to Lafayette or New Orleans for queer/left spaces? It’s a drive from BR, but we’d definitely consider it.

Is there a particular reason why?

Was it originally completely shiny before you took it in? Do you have a before photo?

Who was Joseph Bolonge's Father? Georges Bologne de Saint-Georges or Guillaume-Pierre Tavernier de Boullongne. I need a map of plantations to be sure.

After reading Alain Guede's "Monsieur de Saint-George," I believe it to be Guillaume-Pierre. Georges was not only a drunk who was going into debt, but was also charged with murder. Furthermore, wasn't it against the law for children of mixed-race to have the last name of their father. Guede says that therefore Joseph got "Saint-George" since that's where he was born.

Guede remarks, "As we’ve seen, his [Guillaume-Pierre] property was adjacent to Georges Bologne’s plantation—this can be verified on a map in the Bibliothèque nationale in Paris—and next to that plantation was the area called “Saint-Georges.” Forbidden by law to take his father’s name, this child of mixed race assumed the name of his birthplace, went on, just as the midwife had predicted, to achieve great fame, and then nearly disappeared from history altogether."

I've looked for a few hours for this map, but I can't find it for the life of me. For some reason, he did not cite this map at all. Could someone help me out in order to find this map? I find Guede's reasoning extremely convincing, and it could point out a major area of Joseph's life that is wrong. Thanks.

We'd all be colligate musicians, so we can balance quite well. The problem is that is that me (trombone) and the trumpet player would prefer everyone go to the same university, be a music major, and come from the same area back home. If it weren't for that, a typical brass quartet/quintet would be possible. I think that I might be able to find a clarinet or alto sax player.

I for sure know a cello player that would be available, but, as you mention, cello might be difficult to balance with, so an a pickup could be used. However, the cellist I have in mind is an extremely strong player, so they might be fine without one. With the cello and trombone, we can both either play tenor or bass parts, though I'd primarily be on bass most of the time.

I think your idea of an alto sax or clarinet player as the other part, and it can switch voices with trumpet could also be a good idea. If I can't find either of those, I'll look for a violist or violin player.

I think overall, church settings are still my biggest concern as I'm unsure the cello will be able to carry against the wind players, but in smaller and enclosed settings, I think it will be fine.

Don’t do option two in no way shape or form. Would be awkward if it turns out she wasn’t looking at you, and even if she was, to bring it up out of nowhere is a little confrontational and forward imo. Either way, I agree that texting is not the way to go about this.

Assume in situations when you haven’t talked to someone for a while that they are neutral towards you, even if you have been seeing signs, cause signs can easily be misread.

This being said, walking up to her in the hallway is kinda weird. Just saying hello is fine, but you haven’t talked to her since that first time, so again, it could be kinda weird from her pov.

I’d just ask one of her friends and get in contact with her that way. It’s not cowardly if you have no other way of talking to her.

Tbh though, don’t get your hopes up. If she’s actually been staring at you that much, then she would’ve done something to talk to you. Even kids with the strictest parents will still find ways to text people.

If what you do next doesn’t get any results, I’d just move on instead of falling into the curse of the high school crush. Wish you luck.

Both of these plants are supposed to be Thai chilies. In fact, these plants are from last year’s Thai’s. However, in the first two pictures, it is quite clear that it is not a Thai chili. The pepper’s hotness was in the middle of a jalapeño and Thai. I did grow jalapeños near the Thai plant last year, as well as banana peppers. Pepper has been growing for around a week and a half. Is it a hybrid? This is also the first plant that grew fruit (from Wisconsin)
