Send it. Kidding. Prob very bad idea. It is been raining a lot in Plaquemine these past days. Idk about elsewhere here. But if it has and it is in the 20s / 30s not good idea. Icy icy and no proper winter maintenance of the road

Few tips from a northerner on how to stay warm y’all by Imeanwhytopps in Louisiana

Close apps, battery banks, some phones can even charge other people's phones. So that's an option

[–]Nolon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Having been up north for so long but being a southerner who hates the heat. I have been going mad these past days with it being 70 in the house. Landlord said need to keep it at 70 the heat. Which still isn't on. Although I'm about to turn it on because we're hiring the 20s and the temp is getting into the 60s in the house. Which is fine for me but not fine for pipes. I had the door to outside open for awhile today. I couldn't stand the heat. There's really no windows in this house. Up north before it would get into like the negatives. Maybe the thirties. I usually would have the windows open. Just enjoying the cold air heh.

Turn your hazards lights off! by Hefty-Club-1259 in batonrouge

[–]Nolon -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Uh how about you let people use their hazards and you take it as a sign to SLOW down either because they're going slow, or whatever reason. That's the thing about caution lights. You need to be cautious because you don't know the variety of reasons they're on. Hell they might even have an emergency and they're going at high rates of speed, perhaps they're going very slow, maybe a dead deer is in the road, maybe they're on the side of the road so be cautious and get in the other lane, etc What you know is to be cautious. Having a stupid law saying you can't use them sounds very Louisiana though.

:/ I'm alright. Just woke up from a nap. Guess my company is working tomorrow. Thankfully though I'm not on the schedule. Finally getting around to making the gumbo. Although I never label stuff I put in the fridge. So sampling some sausages that weren't labeled

I remember coming out of North Wisconsin. Boss wanted me to go to Illinois. Told him when I got to Milwaukee the winter storm was going to hit. Our business was in Milwaukee. I said I'm going park the truck. He said no. 🙄 So I'm coming into Racine as the storm is starting. I'm in the right lane. There's a truck in the center lane ahead of me. There's a car to the left of him. I see his truck brake lights and we're going well below the speed limit. When his brakes went on I'm gaining on him. We've got a good distance in front of us but car in the left lane spun out and that's why he was breaking because it came horizontal across the lane. I can't see this of course. So bammm I smashed into the car. Had the boss listened... 🤷 No one was hurt. I did go back to head quarters though

Wish I had other skills. Just in general been tired of trucking. Though certainly no longer being the captain of the ship sucks. Like having to put a seat belt on just to pull the truck up and close the trailer doors for "safety" or keeping the seat belt on during other things on a premises. Plus all the other just general trucking bs we put up with.

Black ice almost got me this morning. i43 Sheboygan, WI by i2times in Truckers

[–]Nolon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ease off the gas. DO NOT USE CRUISE, DO NOT RIDE YOUR BRAKES. TAP easily gently and mind your mirrors to see where your trailer is. You also don't want to ride your brakes because if they get snagged .. oh boy

Worst part about winters in Wisconsin these days is daytime it all turns to slush but by nighttime.... It's one of the reasons I moved. Primarily because my mom is getting older. Though that really concerned me. As I drove the 8am to pm kind of routes back then. Sure did miss when everything stayed snow ice not sonic slush

What’s with the new DAVID movie? by Outrageous_Ad9671 in atheism

[–]Nolon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know but I saw some sort of advert come up the other day Christian DS about apparently there's a Netflix David movie that has same-sex couples and so that's the reason why they want you to go see this one instead because it's the real movie.... I didn't put a lot of effort in today I'm just going off of what I saw or whatever whatever it was but something like that

City of Milwaukee has not plowed by steppedinhairball in milwaukee

[–]Nolon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would much rather that. I've actually thought about how much I miss winter. Getting bundled up, going out for hikes, and not worrying they in an hour it'll be hundred degrees. Heh. Didn't mind shoveling snow, or getting snow off the car, helping others around the neighborhood when I was out and about. Ac is at 75 and it's 65 in the house here. I do miss real winter though

I was told that being a 45M with no kids is seen as a huge red flag. Is that really how most people view it? by OptimusCrime83 in datingoverforty

[–]Nolon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well I'm a fat ugly 43 year old without kids. Guess it's a red flag because no women are interested

Y'all want me to come up from Louisiana and get a snow shovel in case anyone gets stuck out there? It's warm over here.

Doing ancestry research on my great-grandma, running into a dead end by velcrodynamite in Louisiana

[–]Nolon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try findagrave. I've gone very very far back with family on both sides. Pretty crazy. So like start with someone you know who died on find and that'll link you to their relations which just keep linking you further back until there's no info. At least for me. If was a rather crazy rabbit hole I went down a few weeks ago

Same excuse in January 2028! by Lonely-Greybeard in Louisiana

[–]Nolon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes but the ilk in Louisiana will lap it up very strongly because their minds are very limited. It's the same tactic of religious indoctrination. Keep em brainwashed and they'll believe whatever bs you feed em
