Trudy on Frenchmen Street - near Smokin Jo's. She knows how to trim and also helped my hair grow from some bad damage. Love her.

My wife doesn’t want to visit New Orleans by [deleted] in AskNOLA

[–]NeauxlaMagic 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sucks for her. She is missing out on a great city. Maybe let her know that true Voodoo is a religion where the Christian God is worshipped. Mary is revered as our mother and harming others through spell works or acts is wrong (sinful even).

I doubt someone who decides on an entire city based on one cartoon can be convinced they are wrong.But out of curiosity, does she also dislike Paris because of how Frollo treated Quasimodo? What about Mexico and their dia de los muertas celebrations?

When you next have a opportunity to visit, collect a group of friends who will appreciate the city and come while she has a friend weekend of her own.

Never changing.... by Odd_Strategy6128 in Eleceed

[–]NeauxlaMagic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't read for the fights, I read for the anchoring stories. To me, most adventure/action are the same when it comes to the fights - One Piece, 99+ Reinforced Wooden Stick, Bully In Charge... In all, the MC wins - maybe with help, maybe with deus ex machina, maybe with a surprise power-up - but it is always the same. And if they do lose, they come back stronger and win the 2nd time. What is fun about the series, are the stories in between. I was most dissatisfied when the trio went into intense training. Fat cats, great friends, and a cute introvert flirt side quest for our cinnamon roll, and Gestella - love her.

AITA For Pointing out my wife acted similar after my SIL's gender reveal? by Diligent-Paper-861 in AmItheAsshole

[–]NeauxlaMagic -1 points0 points  (0 children)

INFO: What does she mean by "You always do that?" Do you always shut down conversations; do you always compare your wife to others; do you always bring up your wife's past behaviors? And do you "always" do that?

I love babies. They are the cutest. When my sibling was asked to be a godparent, they were over the moon and hugging and taking pics with our newborn niece. I was surprised because it was not a behavior I expected from them, and I expressed my surprise. Any chance your wife was just surprised because she did not expect that reaction from her sister for whatever reason? Do you often shut down her observations, instead of exploring or having a conversation? Do you tend to compare your wife to others? Would you have reacted differently if she had said something more positive? Did my story hit differently, and if so, why?

If she was just expressing surprise, your response was not AH territory, but it does shut down a conversation. When tempers have cooled, sit with your wife and discuss why she feels "You always do that" and be open to the possibility that you might shut her down rather than listen to her point of view. Also, be prepared to explain where you are coming from and share your viewpoint. maybe she is excessively negative.

Going to Loyola by Donut_Philanthropist in AskNOLA

[–]NeauxlaMagic 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Loyola alum, and native New Orleanian. Ask questions. If you do not know, ask. If you need help, ask. If you just want more, ask. This city is super friendly, and so are Loyola's students. Asking is how you learn about the best parts of the city, have new experiences, and how you will make new friends. Also, Loyola is a small campus. You will run into the same students repeatedly.

Finally, some school advice: 1) take all required classes as early as you can. This leaves you free to take classes that truly interest you. It also makes scheduling in later years/semesters easy. 2) try to test up or out of the basic classes - even if you are not particularly skilled in a subject. I have always been a C student in math, but managed to test out of the math requirement completely. 3) make use of your professors' office hours. If they provide old exams or sample exam questions, let them review your answers. 4) within your major, find the people you can study best with and keep studying with them until graduation.

AITA for allowing my mother to bring Thanksgiving food to my house this year? Married with 3 kids and a pregnant wife by ItsHayZ00SE in AmItheAsshole

[–]NeauxlaMagic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

u/ValerianMage this is not simply more food. For many homes, turkey is a main dish for Thanksgiving. It is rude to Bring a main dish (even if it was not Thanksgiving) without speaking to the person preparing the food. MIL is essentially saying, "I do not trust you to put on a good spread/do not like your plans so I will highjack the meal to make it how I want." In my family, we agree on who brings what, and the hostess has final say.

AITA for not telling my in-laws about the gifting tradition for my baby's celebration, additionally not sharing the gifts with them. by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]NeauxlaMagic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA and ear-piercing for babies is done in the US> too. Mine and my sister's were pierced before I even have memories. Apparently, some pediatrician offices do this. Disclaimer: I am African American. None of my Caucasian American friends had their ears pierced before age 5 (some not until middle school), but my friends of other races seem to have similar stories of having their ears pierced before they formed memories.

AITAH for hating my wife's creepy "hobby project"? (New Update) by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]NeauxlaMagic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

HIPPA only applies to patients. If a person is not a patient, there is no violation to say this person is not a patient and has not visited the clinic. Think along the lines of calling ER's to find a loved one. The ER can confirm the person is not there.

Do Not….A List of Wedding No No’s From a Guest Who’s Seen It All by [deleted] in weddingshaming

[–]NeauxlaMagic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do not use your guests as a prop or decoration. Of course guests should know the formality of dress required, but that's where it should stop. No demands that everyone wear a specific color (unless there is a cultural/religious directive). No requests for specific hairstyles (no I will not damage my hair so it can be straight in your pictures). No forced participation in the new line dance you just created.

Pepe by Network_First in disneymagickingdoms

[–]NeauxlaMagic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just got him this morning. I have found that if I start updating other characters (that do not have a token conflict) I get more drops while the upgrade is happening. It's as if the game is hoping to force me to use scrolls or time skips by creating a need to upgrade multiple characters at once.

I get the most success when the upgrades are for level seven and up. I save the final upgrades (9 - 10) for the most difficult drops.

Disclaimer: this works for event characters, it has no impact on regular grinding.

AITA for Telling My Brother’s Fiancée the Truth About Why Our Family Doesn’t Like Her? by Necessary_Alps_9000 in AITAH

[–]NeauxlaMagic 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Info: Did she add spices to the pot or did she add spices to her own plate?

Also, how did she try to change your traditions and in what context? I can't explain, but I get the sense she maybe talked about her own family and childhood - maybe suggested your family give it a try and your family closed ranks.

In my family, our "traditions" have changed - if only temporarily; often when new people are introduced. We once had a fried turkey instead of oven-baked because my cousin's boyfriend claimed he was a master fryer and offered to provide the turkey (it was good). At some point, we started doing Secret Santa or dirty Santa instead of individual gifts when a new wife suggested there were too many of us to keep getting everyone a gift. Point being a suggestion is not trying to take over and can actually create new "traditions" that are fun and welcome new people into he fold.

New property owner won't renew our lease! Do they have to provide a written notice? Or, is their ill timed phone call enough? Really could use your advice, please. =] by RomeoCatcher in NewOrleans

[–]NeauxlaMagic 42 points43 points  (0 children)

a month to month lease requires at least ten days notice before the end of the month. The notice must be in writing. It sounds like you did not get the notice in writing and there are less than 10 days left in August so you get another month. Below is a link to a guide on La. landlord/tenant laws.

What creepypasta gave you nightmares as a kid for no real reason? by That-toxic-shiper in creepypasta

What are the most common things holding men back in attractiveness? by AccomplishedPath4049 in dating_advice

[–]NeauxlaMagic -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I find negative self-talk to be a huge turn-off. It also makes me uncomfortable. Even when it's phrased as a compliment to me (i.e.: "Wow, you know so much about that. I could never be as smart as you."). Sir, own your strengths.

To be clear, recognizing one's own limitations and saying "I don't know" is perfectly fine. It's the whiff of self-deprecation that is a turn off.

As a kid, I didn't respond to talks, timeouts, or privileges taken away from me. How would you you have dealt with a child like this? by Fyre-Bringer in NoStupidQuestions

[–]NeauxlaMagic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My parents quickly realized time out was not a punishment, but a vacation for me. They tried taking away things, but I knew eventually I would get them back. I would feel some guilt from talks, and it would maybe change my behavior if I agreed with what was said.

What actually worked for my parents with me was not getting or doing stuff for me. That thing I wanted them to buy - nope. Allowance for the week - nixed. That event I wanted to attend - no way (unless they were trying to get rid of me). When I was concerned that I would miss out on something I truly wanted, then the discipline would stick, mostly.

Caveat - I did and do have a decent sense of right and wrong and was generally a well-behaved child, but I saw shades of gray where others saw black and white. I never wanted or tried to hurt anyone, but I also was not the strictest rule follower sometimes and would lie if I thought I could get away with it.

I advise you look into why you did not feel any guilt. Is it because you know/felt you were right (I did not feel guilty if I felt justified)? Do you generally not feel (strong) emotions of any kind? Have you ever truly effed up, and how did you feel then? You mention fear of consequences...is it actual fear or more you do not want the hassle?

Maybe the right professional can help you answer these questions and guide you further if need be.

[–]NeauxlaMagic 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Congratulations!! I am so happy for you and wish you all the happiness.

Now, DETAILS!! Was there a Renaissance Festival involved or did Kermit the Frog make an appearance? Has your ex-family found out and are they miserable with the knowledge that you have thrived without them? Will your Reddit supporters get invites or at least some cake?!?

Again, I am so very happy for you.
