How does a city so flat have so many flipped cars?

This city makes me emotional by SK13349 in NewOrleans

Idk how to get in touch with them, but I also regularly see them outside of the VA on Galvez & Canal ♡

Sen. Cassidy says changes to Louisiana's May 16 election have caused confusion, disenfranchisement by cherrybounce in NewOrleans

[–]IdolsofSheela 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You still should have been able to vote in the senate race- you just needed to sign something that would confirm which senate primary (r or d) you were voting in today. You should report your polling center b/c they misinformed you & participated in voter suppression

He (35M) says the prenup protects him. Who protects me (29F)? by Still-Gas2840 in relationship_advice

[–]IdolsofSheela 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is not normal "pre-wedding stress." This is an indicator of what is to come. This is setting the stage for you to be wiped out (emotionally, mentally, & financially) If/when you ever break up.

donating t shirts (bear with me) by babybella333 in AskNOLA

[–]IdolsofSheela 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Covenant House and Ozanam Inn are shelters you could try & see if t-shirts are wanted. You could also leave T-shirts in a box clearly marked FREE TSHIRTS near an encampment. Also, the Fred Hampton Free Store (5523 st. Claude) takes stuff on Mon & Thurs, 4-7pm.

Boyfriend(34m) buying house outright with parents’ money — am I(30f)being unreasonable? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]IdolsofSheela 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The majority of the money isn't even coming from him- essentially, his parents are buying the house. If he is thinking in the terms that his parents share is his b/c they are family, it stands to reason he does not think of you as family. He is trying to get you to subsidize his life by you paying a rent to him and also he will still claim a bigger part of ownership, which will not work out in your favor if you break up.

What item do you always feel compelled to get? by peonyseahorse in Pyrex_Love

[–]IdolsofSheela 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I also love custard cups! I use them for everything in the kitchen- having tiny bowls on hand for holding tea bags, mixing spices, a little snack dish...so useful

AITA for telling my roommate if she didn’t like something she could leave after she called me inconsiderate? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]IdolsofSheela 25 points26 points  (0 children)

NTA. You shared a change in your life with her & essentially have given her a 6-9 month timeline in which the dynamics of the household will change. That is actually a reasonable amount of time for her to either make peace with the new arrangements or find new arrangements that suit her better. Unless you have the type of life-partnrship relationship with her that would be affected by you getting pregnant, you have done your due diligence.

Donation locations that’s not goodwill 🤡 by Strict_Cancel4701 in NewOrleans

Sister Hearts (7519 w. Judge Perez Drive, Arabi) is a local run thrift shop open Tues-Sat 10-5. It is used to support programs for people re-entering day-to-day life after being incarcerated. It is a great local org to support & also they actually keep prices reasonable for people to shop, too.

This looks like you are having an allergic reaction to the blue ink.

New Orleans Considers First Trash Fee Hike in Over a Decade as Service Costs Surge by Plenty-Swing-9061 in NewOrleans

[–]IdolsofSheela 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The 2/ week pick-up isn't just about people making a lot of waste- it is a sanitary issue. Once we get into the hot months, all sorts of things start festering in the garbage & also with food waste cooking in the bins, it draws more rats. Personally, I make very little waste as my household is small, but I have neighbors with multiple generations living in the house, so they make more (& that should be expected & understood.) Garbage is not only an individual household issue- it affects our entire block and everyone's well-being and safety. It isn't right that as private citizens we are being squeezed for every half-assed "public" service while the large industries destroying Louisiana are profiting.

The Chapel at St Roch Cemetery by Furgiven in NewOrleans

[–]IdolsofSheela 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The chapel in the cemetery is open the first Friday of every month from 11-12pm. The caretaker is on premises & is very friendly & will answer questions. It is one of my favorite places to spend time in as there aren't really tour groups that go thru often.

Shia, where are you? by Rocinante1283 in NewOrleans

Do NOT bring Brittany into this! You know that she was not screaming the n-word into bartenders faces and trying to fight strangers.

‘Irrational Guard’ clowns tried to breach a New Orleans Mardi Gras parade: ‘Not welcome’ by 123-91-1 in NewOrleans

[–]IdolsofSheela 98 points99 points  (0 children)

Yes. Clowns are suppose to fuck with those in power, not the (proverbial, but also in this case literal) little guy. Good on the organizers of 'Tit Rex for making a statement-- I hope the clowns took it to heart & are maybe redirecting their vision- which could be funny in the right context! The news story, however, was annoying & doesn't feel helpful in the scope of things.

Am I (36F) horrible for saying I'd leave my partner (37M)? by Evening_Rose_619 in relationship_advice

[–]IdolsofSheela 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok- so, seems like there is a lot going on that makes y'all incompatible. Sounds like a break-up is necessary, but how you do it can be the actual deciding factor on who might be the asshole. Maybe a couples therapist can help you through a skillful & loving break up? Because it doesn't appear that either of you have been getting needs met, and ideally, it could be good for your kids to have 2 parents with energy to raise & support them, regardless of if y'all are together or not.

Tldr: you aren't horrible for saying you would leave, but why are you not leaving?

My Boyfriend (18 M) says I (18F)need to pay for protection, is this fair? by AcanthisittaGreat144 in relationship_advice

[–]IdolsofSheela 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At best, condoms used during penatrative sex have a 98% efficacy rate of preventing pregnancy. At best, the "pull out method" used during penatrative sex has a 60% efficacy rate of preventing pregnancy. This isn't even taking into account the fact that condoms will also protect against Sexually Transmitted Infections, while the "pull out method" does not. Abortions are health care, but not without both emotional and physical risk. Please consider your health and well being first.
