The hardest part of being a parent

Posted by LSUweights on 2/3/26 at 8:46 am
A couple of years ago I started a thread about my newborn daughter.
She was diagnosed with a super rare form of epilepsy at birth.

Old Thread

I reached out on here for prayers and support. Mostly just to like and follow her page so we could spread awareness and maybe one day find a cure.

Yesterday morning, my baby girl, at 3 years old, went to be with the Lord

As a parent, I've never felt so crushed and helpless.
Three years is not enough time
I still need her here.
I don't know what to do
Trying to be the tough dad for my wife and 8 year old son

Thank you for liking, sharing, and following her story
Thank you for the prayers
Rooting for CJ Daniels.
Great kid.
His sister has Epilepsy and so does my daughter.
We got to meet him and his mom last year when he was with LSU.
Big advocate for epilepsy kids.
Sad he left LSU but want him to win

Still watch it every Thanksgiving

Remember years back there was a TV show about 2 detectives.
It didn't last long
But the 2 detectives were Ed O'Neill and the guy who played the kid in Dutch

I paused YTTV and went with Fubo.
I typically share YTTV with my brother and he pays for the extra add on to do that $10 a month
While Fubo doesn't offer the share, It was the best option
Hulu offers the share, but you have to get the Premium plan and then add on the unlimited screen, while Fubo has 10 screen 2 device shares
No issue this week, so far, with buffering....using Roku

I see a lot of recommendations for Elite
I have never tried them but it could be worth a shot.

My son plays basketball with iDevelop off of Antioch and Tiger Bend.
Real good coach.


Hope it works out

What sport?
I'm assuming you are talking about leagues instead of travel?

I am so glad to be done with Traction for both baseball and flag football.
Fields are in good condition but they really suck at making schedules
I've never bought pizza for my operators.
I always ask them what they want.
I usually buy them a meal and a prize.
Here's what I've bought them in the last few years that they said they wanted:
- Tony's Seafood XL box and a custom company hat and shirt
- Grilled hot dogs and burgers on site and a custom company backpack
- Tony's Seafood XL box and a custom company fleece

I've also given away big screen TV, tool sets, custom knives, coolers, etc.. for safety
Was told by a parent yesterday that this particular lady received a 2 day without pay suspension
Parent was not happy

Saw on a FB page Rants and Raves of Ascension Parish, people are posting about the teachers and what school they are at.
Also seen 2 generic emails from AP school board members that they are taking the matter seriously and are investigating

Can confirm from a few parents that this post was reported to the school board

Never was a CB fan, but my son is
We were at Tanger on Saturday and he wanted to go there for lunch.
I told him no, that in fact, we won't ever be going there again.
He's 7, so when he asked why, I said it was because they failed health inspection/rats and roaches
He said ok dad, let's go somewhere else

My boy
Went through it last year with my rescue mutt
Vet put us on Purina with Salmon
It worked for about a year but now it's back
Going through it right now

Going to try this Apoquel and see

Thanks

What is up with BR traffic this summer??

I was looking forward to smooth traffic in the afternoons and mornings due to school being out
It seems at least 2 days of every week so far this summer, there is something on the interstate causing backups
10-E was backed up yesterday with 2 accidents
Week before 110 was backed up with 2 accidents and a stalled vehicle in the early morning
Week before was an accident at seigan on 10-E
Week before that was an accident at the 10/110


Geez this sucks!!!

Looks like Sartin’s is permanently closed.


I would drive to Nederland, TX from BR just to eat Sartin's, twice a year
Was disappointed to find out it was closed.
Was my favorite place to eat

All you can eat..... everything on their menu... $40 (crab claws, fried shrimp, fried fish, hush puppies, bbq crabs, stuffed crab, and french fries)

Miss that place
Thank y'all for the info.
Just going to enjoy the time with my son.

Well that sucks
I bought 2 tickets for Friday night to take my son...thinking they had it since the ticket office said yes
Waste of money when I could have bought 4 rows back in a different section for half the price

Alex Box Stadium - Champions Club

Posted by LSUweights on 3/5/25 at 1:59 pm
Do you get free food and drinks with tickets?

I have googled for 30 minutes...Google says yes but all the links to TD threads on this topic say no

Called ticket office and they put me on hold to confirm. Lady came back and said yes.. she didn't sound sure


Thanks,
Probably not the best, but I took my 7 year old out last night for his birthday dinner, and he wanted to go to Mr. Gatti's for the Mac and Cheese, and Smores pizza...........and the arcade

But seriously, he says it's the best.....but he's 7
I have been hesitant all these years, but I just created my first Twitter/X account
Looking forward to these updates

Picture Edit Help - Personal

I have a picture of my son and I from his recent football game. I want to frame it but the other coach is right in the middle of the picture.
Can someone help me out and remove him?
If so, I will send the picture via email so my son can remain anonymous

Thank You



This item right here....
I buy 2 every week for each of my kid's humidifier in their room.
In 2019, they were $3.99
In 2022, they were $6.99
Today, they are $9.99

That's $20 every week for 2 disposable filters.
