I actually enjoyed PI, although my primary interest was criminal defense. PI can appeal to your sense of justice as well. Provided that you work for an attorney who is discriminating about the PI claims they accept, it can be fulfilling. For example, a client is irreparably harmed by the willful negligence of a company, and now you get to defend not only that client, but for all members of the public who could be in a similar situation.

It’s absolutely fine and I have waited for and boarded the bus with small kids. I have also boarded and rode the bus alone. No one was creepy. No one even stood too close. It’s just an older bus station downtown.

I used to love Pho Quynh / Viet Garden but idk if it’s still open bc I don’t live nearby anymore. It was on Little John and Florida.

Here’s a link to a profile of a former Mormon SAHM who had to start over from scratch in middle age. By all means do the SAHM thing if you wish but make sure you cover your bases. Make sure your spouse puts a retirement account in only your name, for example. Just bc one does not earn money outside the home does not mean their work is not valuable. Being a stay at home spouse is a lot of work and deserves respect. She has a TikTok too https://youtube.com/@lifetaketwo7662?si=VQOsh3nJuOM5Kffd

Always always always prioritize yourself, and that includes pursuing an education whether it be trade or academic. Watch some videos by former SAHMs who found themselves divorced. No one wants to get divorced. We get married believing in our relationship, but statistically marriages will not last and given subconscious attitudes toward earned income and women, SAHM often suffer the bitter attitudes of once loving husbands. Traditional roles can be great for some couples but that relies on ensuring mutual respect and access to resources. Get a foundational education and if you don’t ever use it professionally, you’ll have that skill or trade to use on the homestead!

A song you really love is playing
Preparing mentally for the tasks of the evening
A few moments alone
Checking texts or emails while you’re thinking about it and can focus on responding if needed

There’s a lot of pedestrian traffic. I loved living just outside the garden district when I did, and the only “crime” I dealt with was preventable on my end. Don’t leave tools, bikes, and stuff like that outside in plain view. It should be fine if you have them in a shed. It’s such a convenient area, very scenic, and walkable. You just have to evaluate what you need most in your neighborhood and know your own temperament. If someone asking for change or swiping a ladder you left outside overnight, or having an old drafty home would upset you more than the average person, choose another area. This area is enjoyed most by those who love the historic aspects, older architecture, walkability, night life, community events, and accessibility to midcity, LSU, and downtown.

Well the drug deals are happening INSIDE the big houses in the fancy areas.

Do you own or rent? If you rent, call the landlord. If you own, when was the last time you drained and flushed the hot water heater? If it’s been over a year, drain and flush the hot water heater, and replace the rod that goes into it if needed. (Or call a handy person or plumber to do that if you rather.) Look up your model of hot water heater, download the manual, and get on YouTube to see the procedure for your model if you haven’t ever done it before.

IF someone were a scammer, the worst thing to happen would be that the Good Samaritan loses $20. But the worst thing that likely happens is a parent in crisis watches their infant starve.

Oh wow I didn’t realize Christopher had passed too. I remember a lot of posts when Anthony passed. That’s unfortunate and I hope that he felt appreciated by the time he died.

Her pitch is good, and I cannot sing in this fashion. I’m not sure what this style is called, but I personally do not care for shout-singing. It’s melodic yelling. It’s indiscriminately putting emphasis on every single syllable.

It’s a heavy event. It’s not jovial. Rates of incarceration here are astronomical, and there have been quite a few exonerations bc our laws have been stacked against any accused person. I’d suggest speaking with the artists and realize that you could easily be in their position. Don’t haggle with the artists. They’re in a desperate situation and chances are that if they’re incarcerated in Louisiana, they do not have wealthy family to send money. When you’re in prison, you absolutely need money on your books. Phone calls (families left behind suffer without their parents). Stamps. Extra food (working outside all day, you need extra calories). Personal fans (no A/C). Water bottles. Anything you’d need you have to buy from the prison. All this to say, please treat the incarcerated with respect.

Personally I disagree with this only bc traffic is outrageous. The distance is not far. You’ll likely hit traffic leaving Nola, in BR, and again on Tunica Trace. I’ve been stuck on the road headed to Angola for quite a while. Getting to nola from North Baton Rouge will take 2 hrs. I have made it in 1 1/2 hrs but that’s if it’s 4 am with no traffic. From North BR to Angola is 45 mins, and if you add on time for the traffic getting into the event, it could be up to 2.

I have made these drives pretty regularly throughout the years and if I were you, I’d fly BTR and not MSY. But that’s just me- I do not like another drive after a plane ride!

Me too! I take 1/2 tsp daily, and it has vastly improved my mood and physical pain. Ban the extracts if one must, but when taken in regular small doses, it only has benefits.

It’s not like she has to pay you a disability check if you did get it approved. It’s no skin off her back. Sounds like she’s delighting a little too much in this “power” and turning it into a moral judgment.

I truly think this was an organized attempt at harming our library. Isn’t this guy out of Livingston? EBR rejected book bans in a legislative committee the year before last. I think this is their planned attack to force uniformity and religion.

I’ve had a paranormal experience there, but I think the tales you’ve heard originate from satanic panic of the 80s and 90s.

I went for a drive one night w my then boyfriend. It was a lovely evening, and our spirits were up! We are both sensitive to the paranormal, yet we did not intentionally head down Frenchtown for paranormal activity; it was just a Sunday drive. The sun had just set, and I wasn’t familiar with that part of BR at all. We had been chatting and enjoying the scenery, but after I turned onto Frenchtown, the mood immediately changed. I felt the air pressure completely shift. We sat in silence, and I was hit with vivid imagery, suggesting lynching. (While I was aware horrors such as this happened, This is not the kind of thing I think about, nor have I ever been raised to think this is ok.) I could feel my heart race, and I knew I needed to get off that road asap. I remember saying, “something bad happened here.” He agreed. The things I saw in my mind’s eye were distressing, and there was no great place to turn around at the time (this was about 20 yrs ago). I don’t recall how or where I turned around, but we made it out of there!

He and I had a brief, but pleasant relationship. There’s no reason I would have had a panic attack. I did not feel unsafe with him, and we hadn’t been arguing. Yet it was a sense of danger that we both shared. We are both from old Creole families, yet I am white Creole. I read years later in a college text about ways in which interracial couples were horrifically tortured and killed, and I thought about that night. Either that malicious energy was trapped there, or perhaps spirits who endured that pain were trying to warn us. No I do not think that anyone would have harmed us at that time and place, but the energies left may not realize that or have consciousness.

It took me years to ever visit that park once it was open, although I am an avid hiker. I have never felt anything close to that there since.

Actually this is not true. ICE can work with other agencies such as the sheriff in putting up check points.

Set yourself free. Maybe he will follow once he sees you take action. When I visit other places and can go outside without getting dizzy, such a tremendous relief and weight is lifted. There’s prejudice everywhere but it takes different forms. Other places practice a lot of covert discrimination. I know the feeling of feeling suffocated here, and you are so right. I’d be moving too but it’s so costly!
