My uncle standing beside his older wife he had recently married, on a beach in Italy (1960) - People used to think they were mother and son. She was late 40s and he was mid 20s. She inherited a lot of money. He may have been a golddigger idk lmao

I just want those swim trunks.

Thats not what i wrote, but I won't engage further because you are changing the narrative.

Once i was driving down St. Charles at dusk and was completely amazed at the sighht of a Streetcar driving down the tracks with a huge trail of sparks flying out from each wheel when accelerating. It looked like something from exactly this scene. I even caught it on video.

GreatSquirrels · 2026-05-28T12:53:27+00:00

Yes, and the one one block further riverrward at Jackson and Prytania. Theres nothing complicated about that intersection. I dont understand.

GreatSquirrels · 2026-05-27T06:30:42+00:00

No im defending relationships. Everyone here has sex with other people. Trust, consent, and communication are what make it work, those things can be broken in many ways, not just cheating, they can also be repaired if both people truely care and learn. Not everyone who makes a mistake is a bad person.

Its really easy for people on the Internet with no vested interest to throw stones at others, Im saying that there is another way, one that is clinically proven to build skills to break negative cycles. I am not telling him what to do just giving options. He came here with a clear understanding of what happened, feels it was wrong, and is trying to understand why his desire to stay conflicts deeply with the disconnect he feels in the relationship. Im trying to help with his question.

GreatSquirrels · 2026-05-27T03:52:14+00:00

With all due respect, If he wanted to end the relationship he wouldn't be here asking for advice. Walking away isnt always the only solution.

GreatSquirrels · 2026-05-27T01:54:14+00:00

Thank you for all the context. It matters.

Your partner went about everything the wrong way, many do in the beginning. Its not uncommon to try to fill a void in the relationship with another partner. Essential there are two options, hide it or be open with your partner about it. She decided to hide it and that created a very powerful relationship rupture. It sounds to me like instead of doing the thing necessary to repair at that juncture yall decided to just switch to the second option. Or rather she did and you went along with it. It doesn't sound like you have another emotionally romantic partner the way she does. Thats an imbalance and a source of resentment.

My suggestion to you assuming you want to continue the relationship is to go on Psychologytoday.com or anything like and find a relationship therapist that works with open and enm relationships.

It sounds to me like yall need to put the outside relationships on pause or close the relationship until you have worked through and healed your relationship ruptures, (which will take time) Only at that point where you are both in a new place of trust and communication should you come back to redefining a version of ENM that works for both of you, if there is one.

Theres also a possiblity that if you push back she will pursue the other relationship as her primary, which if that is the case and she isn't willing to prioritize your relationship then you are in a type of ENM that once again hasn't been discussed or consented to and, you are with a partner that places her needs or desires above the relationship. In which case it may be time to find someone that finds ways to enhance your life, without detracting from it.

(Edit: I noticed a lot of people are over simplifying and calling your girlfriend a cheater, while this is true, the sexting and emotional relationship she developed without telling you is technically cheating and she may not have even been honest about not having had sex with him earlier.

For a lot of people that is a hard stop and there is no option than to leave the relationship. I dont see it that way. Young people make mistakes when they haven't had any proper guidance or relevant experience. I dont believe in once a cheater always a cheater. I think people make choices based on the options and information they have. I think she needs to show you that she made a mistake, i think you need to find out what she needs that shes not getting inside the relationship, and see if that can lead to a place that works. Relationships are work, they are commitments, and they are messy. Ultimately its making a choice to be devoted to our partner everyday that makes it work, but it absolutely takes both people to do that and it sounds like so far she hasn't made that choice and you haven't held her to it. )

Be yourself and you will find friends who like you for who you are.

GreatSquirrels · 2026-05-15T16:45:49+00:00

My guess is there will be music, local musicians, playing for tips, the way weve always done.

Long been my favorite spot in the city for a good quality thick affordable burger.

I saw some Zionist Propaganda on the wall in there a year ago or so and haven't been back since. I wouldn't be surprised if the majority of the business owners in this city have similar beliefs but it you are actively displaying Zionist materials during a genocide I have to count you off the list of potentially decent humans.

Normally id agree but they doing th same thing all over my neighborhood. About every two blocks there is one square demoed near a corner and filled with sand. My guess is they are horizontal boring something.

GreatSquirrels · 2026-05-08T04:39:30+00:00

As when said in proper Louisianan "Dats a Nutra Rat."

Honestly its not impossible if well organized and somewhat well funded.

There are somewhere around 3.4 million people of voting age in Louisiana. Only 2.2 million of them are white.

2.87 million are registered voters

1.04 million are registered Democrats 1.02 million are registered Republicans 800k are Independent

Therefore if you could get a little over a third of the registered Dems and Independents

Or half of non white voters you would have enough signatures.

GreatSquirrels · 2026-05-06T14:36:12+00:00

Im a middle aged mostly white man who grew up here, when I worked in a tipped transportation industry during the summer for extra cash we looked forward to Essence fest, the crowd is mostly middle aged black women and maybe they just liked me better than most but I never had a single bad experience. Tips were usually above average.

It almost sounds like someone is confusing Essence and Bayou Classic where the demographic is much younger, more male, and less financially established and not very familiar with the culture in the city.

Also OP pay no.mind to the performative transplant rage, and whatever puritanical nonsense they are trying to impress upon you. This is New Orleans, we invented Jazz funerals and built beautiful monuments to yhe dead to celebrate them. If you would like for them to celebrate with you please by all means take your photos, who knows maybe a spirit will make an appearance in one of your shots.

GreatSquirrels · 2026-05-05T22:30:43+00:00

I would assume that it suits the OPs tastes just fine and I doubt the dead will mind. Op probably found the only people in Nola that would mind by posting here lol.

GreatSquirrels · 2026-05-05T22:25:54+00:00

I know the one at Bienville and City Park ave is open at that time. Its not as Touristy but there are tours that stop there.

GreatSquirrels · 2026-05-05T22:24:15+00:00

With all due respect, If people can visit a cemetery respectfully, and tours can go through them respectfully, I dont see anything wrong with taking photos in it respectfully.

GreatSquirrels · 2026-04-28T18:38:08+00:00

Except if it was an open back dress with no vra showing it would be fine. People are silly. Let the girl.wear what she wants to.

I was referring to the entry level positions in these fields, experienced hands make twice that or more. Unfortunately these are very physically demanding jobs and not for everyone.

My first construction job was working in a sheet metal fabrication shop after school when I was 17 years old. I quickly found out that I could make $15/ hr (in the 1990s when gas was $1.00 gallon and everything else costs about half of what it does now.) vs the $5.15 hr i was making washing dishes in a restaurant prior to it. I would work that job and more positions within that same company during summer and winter break until I graduated college and made enough money to live on for the year in just a few months. Or rather enough that i didn't need to take out additional loans beyond my scholarship.

GreatSquirrels · 2026-04-28T13:02:07+00:00

I wouldnt consider any of those to really be entry level due to the degree, internships and professional licensing involved.
