re: Is the job market "bad"?
Posted by blucollarskolar on 9/2/26 at 8:33 pm to DinoSpumoni
I agree with this.
Too many individuals that lack needed qualifications for the positions that need to be filled.
Looking for an experienced technician. Out of 30 resumes, 2 may have had a wrench in their hand once in their life while handing it to someone who knows how to use it.
1 in 50 have actual experience as a mechanic.

re: Hurricane Andrew 1992 - 34 years ago Monday morning (FL) through Wednesday morning (LA)
Posted by blucollarskolar on 8/25/26 at 6:25 am to NorthEndZone
My Grandmother, having recently moved from Arkansas to the BTR area, thought that the opportunity to experience a hurricane should not be missed.
She drove to El Dorado, AR and picked me up, and took me back to BTR to watch Andrew.
I didn’t understand what a hurricane was prior to that, but had a pretty good grasp of it by the time I got to return home a week or so later.

That would drive me nuts.
Mine thinks that everything has to have a compartment or bin…. Or pull stuff out of the box it came in and put it into a box we now have to wash later

My son started getting interested in skeet/trap a few years ago. I got him a Weatherby element. Very underrated! That gun has performed very well and is definitely in your price range.

Serious question... Are the men/women that make up the military reserves considered in this #? I know one (Air Force reserve) that was sent home this morning from a training program due to the shutdown.

I don’t boil them on the stove, but I season and steam the fairly often. Great quick meal.

re: there are NO consequences in school anymore at all, it is a joke
Posted by blucollarskolar on 5/8/25 at 12:19 pm to Wayne Campbell
I'm not an educator or a professor by any means. And I understand completely that it starts and ends with the home. But there has to be consequences somewhere.
If the parents were doing what they should, then these issues wouldn't be a problem in the first place. However, If the kid is not facing consequences at home, the answer is not for them to have no consequences at school either.
Inconvenience the kid. If that doesn't work, inconvenience the kid enough that is also inconveniences the parent. Eventually something will change.

Passing the kid to the next grade when they weren't present enough to meet the state minimums isn't the answer either. Nor is fixing the grades at the end of the period from F's to D's so they pass they class.
It used to be when you got ISS, there was a teacher in there that made sure you did noting but your work all day.
Hand out Saturday and after school detentions. When a parent has their day disrupted they may make a better effort to make their kids do what they are supposed to.

Oh it for sure falls on the parents. They are most of the cause for the entitlement that these kids think they have.

You are absolutely right. I can only speak for Caddo Parish, but it is an absolute joke.
All work can be made up at anytime for full credit. It doesn't matter if you were out that day unexcused, or if you just didn't want to do it. It can all be made up.
Missed 22 days and over 100 classes marked as tardy .... does not matter. No ISS, No Saturday school, No consequence. Blows my mind.
It's ridiculous, and the teachers pass the kid no matter what.

This has been on our list to try for a while, but we always get mixed reviews from everyone who has been. It's either fantastic or not worth the $$. Maybe they just aren't consistent? :dunno:
Either way, we'll give it a shot at some point. I wish SHV/Bossier had better BBQ options.

re: Duck hunters had to be rescued
Posted by blucollarskolar on 1/22/25 at 12:38 pm to selfgen
I guess by your way of thinking, no one should be on the roads at all either.
I'm sure these two groups of hunters caused very little issue compared to the amount of idiots that can't drive when the road is wet, much less snow and ice.
:booboo:

re: Has anyone had issues crossing Canadian border with dwi (or pending) on record?
Posted by blucollarskolar on 12/29/24 at 8:38 pm to 18handicap
Better to be safe than sorry, bring copies of court docs with you to plshow if requested.
I went a few years ago, flew into Calgary, was picked out at Customs and questioned about my record. I had read that it could be an issue, so I brought copies of my court docs and dismissal with me in my carry on. Showed ‘em the paperwork and was good to go.

Nope, not interested in parting with it. It was a gift, and by the way it sounds, a fairly decent one.
