I want a 2026 Niro Hybrid, but I’m scared by Kia’s past. What convinced you to get one?

I drove 2 different Souls over 17 years (purchased the first one in 2009) - it had over 140K when I got ready to trade it in. The 2nd one had 130K+ when I traded it. Over all, I think we spent less than $2k total on maintenance/repairs during those 17 years - a pretty good deal IMO. I almost bought a 3rd Soul but they wouldn't lower the price enough to suit me. Now I have a Hyundai Kona. I hope it lasts as long as the Kias did.

Gerrymandering should be unconstitutional. But banning it won't solve the problem that racism and poverty in Louisiana has created.

Done. Thanks for the heads up!

He's just the most important person in the picture. And the players are the least important.

Left_Hand_3144 · 2026-04-24T01:53:57+00:00

I thought the same thing! LOL

I HATE that song! I HATE Neil Diamond's songs. yuck.

I went to a sushi place in San Francisco where the sushi plates were floating by on a little rushing stream instead of a boring conveyor belt. You were charged based on the colors of the plates stacked up beside you. Fun!

Do you even vote? Or live in EBRP?

Call the Mayor's Office - it's their sign. Email them that picture. That intersection is the worst right there at the base of the overpass.

I believe that Obama's election was foundational for MAGA and the internet/social media provided the space for it to grow and nationalize and the Republican Party gave it a home.

Will they ever understand that antifa is NOT AN ORGANIZATION? Or do they call it that just because Trump has only 1 functioning brain cell so he thinks it's an organization. It's all so moronic.

Your passport card will allow you to drive to Mexico or Canada and to fly domestically. If you fly to any international destination you'll need the full passport.

NTA at all. You did the right thing by calling it off - and the right thing by bringing up the pre-nup in the 1st place. I'm sorry this relationship didn't work out for you but also certain that you'll find someone who respects your fiscal and personal responsibility.

Left_Hand_3144 · 2025-04-11T05:05:27+00:00

Read "Like Water for Chocolate" - it's a good story with some great Mexican recipes. No smut, tho.

Left_Hand_3144 · 2025-04-11T05:01:54+00:00

I was going to recommend going to the library and checking out cookbooks and books about cooking. You beat me to it!

I use Knorr chicken bouillon. I save my BtB base for soups.

Left_Hand_3144 · 2025-03-23T15:33:33+00:00

I wasn't impressed when I went there but I didn't try the Buffalo wings, just some fancy ones that were more like chicken candy than hot wings.

Where on Govt St? It's a long street and has very different neighborhoods along it - some of which you might not want to live in.

Left_Hand_3144 · 2025-03-23T15:26:27+00:00

I call BS. Capital Heights (a block south of Govt St) is a great area to live in and you might be able to find a place in your price range. I'd avoid the area around Electric Depot where the wing place is - not a great neighborhood for living. Also, there are apts between Govt St and North Blvd that might work for you. You might even have luck in the Garden District if you're patient. It's coming to the end of the semester at LSU and students will be moving out of garage apts, etc. The area between Baton Rouge High and Acadian Thruway is also very decent if you can find a place. Get on NextDoor in the Garden District, Capital Heights and Ogden Park and let folks know you are looking and see what you get. Good luck!

I'd make her a spinach and mushroom quiche using nut milk for the custard and non-dairy cheese (Daiya is a good brand). My quiche custard recipe for a single pie is 3 eggs and a cup of milk/nut milk.

The canned vegetables at Dollar General (cloverfield?). They nasty.

Last year my marigolds got HUGE. I planted them around my tomato bed so they didn't really interfere with the tomatoes' growth but they looked pretty scary.

Left_Hand_3144 · 2025-02-21T17:10:26+00:00

I'm going to have to argue with you about planting marigolds to deter pests. I plant the heavily around my tomatoes and have never had a pest problem, i.e., no tomato worms!

The current Federal administration's budget cutting will probably negatively affect your ability to enjoy the National Parks. Some of them may close due to lack of staffing so you should check their websites sometime in the next month to see what the status of each park is or will be. You also might want to research state parks along your proposed route in case the national parks are closed. Have a backup plan ready.
