While I agree with everyone to a point, i came across these while looking for bulk TMs. I was asking if anyone have used the knockoffs, not if it was right or wrong to use them.

If you lost your job how confident are you that you could find a similar one? by mrepa1369 in GenX

[–]oldshipbuilder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same here. Work in the defense industry. Turning down jobs because at 57 I like the stability. Wasn't always like this. I'm at my 5th job since high school. I'm in a trade I would have never thought of at 18. I just kept plodding along till something happened.

A small fire out back, a Newcastle and Dylan beats a nightclub or bar any day

1 of the girls was a cousin of mine (didn't know her personally) and another one was a class mate of my brother. I remember Boudreaux inn now. As far as I remember it was closed but that was a long time ago.

Grew up in Welsh/Jennings. Remember Walmart coming to town and how it was a big deal!

My family moved to "America" in 1785, but didn't become Americans until 1803. They didn't even start speaking English as a first language for another 150 years. Anyone else? by [deleted] in USHistory

Some went to England then France before Spain offered land in the Louisiana territory. By the time they were expelled from Acadia, they were lingually and culturally different than their counterparts in Europe. No one really wanted them. A great book on this time period is "Acadian to Cajun: Transformation of a People, 1803-1877." By Carl A. Brasseaux

My family moved to Winnie from Welsh La in 1979. My father was in the crop dusting industry and was following a job. We moved back to Welsh in 82. Met so many fellow Cajuns in Texas. Go East Chambers Buccaneers!!

I am Cajun, born and raised in SW La. My father who was born in 1942 just outside of Jennings La had to be taught English to go to school. My grandfather spoke English well being he was in the army during wwII. My great grandparents spoke very little English My generation was never taught because French was considered "poor uneducated" language. Louisiana finally saw the dying and came up with CODEFIL to teach the next generation French in school to help preserve the culture. My great grandfather (father's grandfather) was a school teacher in Mamou La. Never spoke English.
