re: Question for the non drinkers

Posted by Verbal Kent on 11/28/23 at 5:10 pm
I was a professional drinker. Literally won a drinking contest in Jamaica as the crowd shouted "LSU, LSU, LSU." Could drink more than you and your friend(s) combined and still take care of you later in the night\morning. Never had a hangover, rarely lost control (although there was a time a Washi...
I was an extremely seasoned social drinker who quit 18 months ago. I still have a tailgate and a social life. What is amazing is that most people really do not care if you are drinking. Most people who are curious, really are questioning their own drinking. Also, have your husband try Topa Chica...
You can stay at hotels as nice as you want in Jackson Hole (there is a Four Seasons there), it is very short drive. Can also stay at the Jackson Lake Lodge overlooking the Grand Tetons (great place for a drink-you can get a cabin), shorter drive. The hotel accommodations at Yellowstone National Pa...
In our Constitutional system, the job of a defense lawyer is to make sure that the Constitution and rule of law is followed.

I saw a trailer come unhitched from a vehicle in front of be eastbound on I10 between BR and Nola. The trailer began crossing the median on I10. Big rooster tail of dirt flying in the air.

I got it when I was thirty (from drinking whiskey). Asked my doctor to amputate my foot it hurt so bad. There is medicine which works well for it and it does not get better on its own. Most people have a trigger (some nuts, some salt, some red meat, me-whiskey). Gave up whiskey and no more gout....
I was 21 when I bought my first house-shotgun on Perkins Road in Garden District. My single mom had rented my entire childhood and I had sworn not to do that. Sold it for a 59.7 percent profit 6 years later and bought a bigger house....
Echo chambers is clearly the issue. Watch the Social Dilemma on Netflix. It will explain what has happened to our society. Essentially, we are all fed information that fits our world view, reinforcing more divided beliefs. "Like" a post, you get more of that type of information fed to you to kee...

You can pay staff and rent or mortgage, but directly sharing a fee with a non-lawyer (like a percentage) is prohibited by the Rules of Professional Conduct. That is one of the things E. Eric was disbarred for....

She was 49 and a childhood friend of my wife, with high school age children. Another person who recov...
All of the adjusters at every major insurance company are working from home through at least the end of the year. Some until they are vaccinated. Many will never going to return and commercial real estate is going to take a big hit IMHO...

Three of the major tenants\vendors were leaving when their leases were up this summer. When Covid hit, my understanding is the owner of White Star, used it to break the lease with the developer, because those tenants had not been replaced....
We had a team in the late 90s and early 2000s. Played against some great teams that had players like Larry Foster (from Detroit), Bryan Sparacino (LSU QB) and the Beer Man (from the Saints). We had one of the only integrated teams, with both white and black players-one guy even went from our team,...
All of the answers below appear to be wrong. Examples of institutionalized racism include: Lower quality and\or funded schools in predominantly black areas which perpetuate lower education scores which have a long term impact on lifetime earnings; Racial profiling by police for stop and frisk...

I disagree completely. They have very conservative editorials all the time from the like of Dan Fagan (douche), Cal Thomas and a true conservative icon, George Will. The local editor, Lanny Keller, has grown more conservative as well, recently supporting the tort reform package at the legislature....

I tell my clients all the time, disregard the commercials where a healthy looking person says they got half a mill, that is not really the way it works. Usually you are talking about a major back surgery and future lost wages due to disability caused by the accident. There are a number of factor...
