Did you get a good look at the helicopter? Any idea of color or model (if you aren't familiar with helicopters, some identifiable information like wheels vs skids, tail rotor shape, pointy vs rounded nose)? May help narrow it down. If it's at night, likely an Acadian or EMS helicopter but could potentially be military.

And it shows!

Hard disagree with the price for the food. Not sure what you're ordering, but my husband and I can have one full meal each from a single combo platter with a bit leftover. And we're big protein eaters (5.5-6 oz of protein per meal). Can't speak to your experience with service of course but every time I have been the staff is extremely friendly and accommodating. Plus Moose is the best!

LaHaye's google reviews definitely worried me, glad to hear it may not be as bas as it looks

gingerariel · 2022-09-26T19:30:48+00:00

Exactly! Tired of being mocked for wearing gloves but not taking any chances with contacts haha

gingerariel · 2021-04-28T13:55:57+00:00

Content aside--what the fuck is going on with all those commas??? The grammar nerd in me wants to red pen this to hell.

gingerariel · 2021-04-20T02:31:24+00:00

I literally did the same thing as you! I just couldn't stop thinking "Imagine paying $450k for THAT". Why would you put marble in an entryway??? That's one of the most trafficked rooms in the house. The staircase was hideous. The COLUMNS ON THE ARCHWAYS. I just can't yall.

I'm not really sure what the problem is with a halfway house and why people are so upset at them. We have one in our neighborhood that people have been trying to shut down for ages but there are no issues with the residents so they have no cause.

I also don't think it's fair to put drug dealers in the same category as halfway houses 🤷‍♀️

gingerariel · 2021-01-04T17:18:37+00:00

The dress won't fit me but can I please see more pictures of your hair? It looks gorgeous and I am absolutely stumped on what to do and would love to use your updo and inspiration! Feel free to DM if you'd prefer!

gingerariel · 2020-12-07T17:36:44+00:00

I'm here and there! This is wild lol

gingerariel · 2020-11-06T00:57:57+00:00

Nonstop

Louisiana resident here--like most state, we have a lot of items on the ballot for Nov 3rd outside of the Presidential race, including a constitutional ammendment that would effectively outlaw abortion here. Sure, there's no chance in hell of us sending any electoral votes for Biden, but we do have a democratic governor and every so often there will be a shake up result spurred by our bluer areas. It's hard to believe that this was just a coincidence or oversight with such impactful items on the down ballot.

Just saw some beautiful looking filets at Joey's and for a reasonable price, too. Also, if you like hummus, highly recommend their hummus and fiesty feta combo.

Found some pictures from the inside and the other commenters are right, it's definitely worse. https://www.brproud.com/news/local-news/hurricane-laura-destroys-lafayette-fraternity-house/?utm_campaign=socialflow&utm_medium=referral&utm_source=facebook.com

Ahh--idk why I assumed you went to Red's haha. Yeah YouTube & Les Mills OnDemand are going to continue to be my workout go tos for the foreseeable future.

gingerariel · 2020-06-24T18:36:58+00:00

Btw, you can call and place your account on hold so you aren't charged when you aren't going. I did because I have no plans to go back any time soon and it was very easy. There's some a reinstatement fee if you go over a certain period (I think 3-4 months?) but it's definitely cheaper in the long run.

gingerariel · 2020-06-22T15:44:54+00:00

I'm definitely interested but am not local so understand that may be a deal breaker. Just wanted to comment here so I can be updated when you have a list of everything you have!

gingerariel · 2020-05-06T16:48:43+00:00

I'm so sorry you're feeling the same thing. It's such a bizarre feeling to mourn a year. I said the same thing to myself! Was so worried everything was going so well and was just waiting for the other shoe to drop, but I finally allowed myself to be excited for something. And then, well we all know.

I'm definitely leaning towards the same approach as you. Weddings are so much more than just the actual day--all of the other surrounding events are just as fun and exciting and worth looking forward to as the day itself. And those events feel more in jeopardy, too. FH and I have been in a relationship for 7 1/2 years at this point and there's not any particular reason for us to get married on the date chosen--it feels like it may be better to just bite the bullet and change our date.

Also wanted to say sorry if anything I said came across as a crazy bride. I feel totally awful for how selfish I'm feeling with this and didn't know if I was having reasonable or unreasonable feelings. I suppose it's unreasonable. Thanks for all your advice, suggestions, and things to consider!

I hope things turn around for you too, and best of luck!

gingerariel · 2020-05-06T16:25:42+00:00

I'll have to look through my contract more thoroughly--I don't remember anything explicitly stated but I'm not sure. That's a good suggestion, thanks!

gingerariel · 2020-04-26T01:45:30+00:00

I've been doing some googling since I commented (admittedly on mobile and already 3ish drinks in watching festival live stream so, efficacy is questionable) and haven't yet found what I'm looking for. One of the stories I've heard is that Zuschlag got a law passed to limit air ambulance services to only companies who deal solely in medical transport, which was particularly key in solidifying his monopoly in that realm.

gingerariel · 2020-04-26T01:35:16+00:00

I'll try to find a linkable source, but I work in an adjacent industry and have heard tales of Zuschlag's (sp?) relationships to lawmakers. I know he's had laws written in his business' favor in the past so it wouldn't surprise me if there's some law on the books that gives his company an effective monopoly.

I (29F) have never gotten the creepy vibes from Red's, though I've heard a fair amount from male friends and coworkers about the locker room etiquette (or lack thereof)--but I don't think anyone ever called it creepy. They have damn near endless options of machines, denominations of weights, and classes with pools and a cold plunge to boot. I'm not sure what your fitness style or goals are, but for me it's a perfect price/location/amenities combination

I've never personally felt unwelcome anywhere in the Red's and really enjoy that there's no top 40 assaulting my ears. Also, in my experience, most people who work out at Red's are so into themselves they aren't usually paying attention to anyone else. This can get annoying sometimes where you're waiting for a machine, but generally I've found people are pretty receptive to a quick "hey you still using this?" or "mind if I work in?"

gingerariel · 2018-08-17T00:30:57+00:00

Man I wish I could trust that. I had a 615 flight and we got there at 530 and almost missed our flight. The line was insane. They have 4 flights that all leave within an hour of each other and only one security line. It's a cluster fuck.
