re: Anniversary of Hurricane Camille

This video is exactly the kind of thing I would have had a teacher show back in the day that I wouldn’t have appreciated at all and now the perspective is totally different! How tough and resilient were those survivors??? The way they could talk about the horrific things they saw and experienced, losing loved ones, regrets, and yet how strong and at times matter of fact they seemed!
It’s humbling to think of the things that in my youth I personally have said were so devastating and how some of my very elders probably just bit their lip and thought they hoped I never truly experienced something truly devastating.
People were built different, and in many ways better!

Crime radar is a good app for 911 info. You can set the location you want and look at the map and click on incidents.
re: Impulse buying. What was your last?
Posted by LAblue on 8/4/26 at 7:01 pm to RocknRollAZ
I have already started the process for thoughtful Christmas gifts. Bought our brother in law a vintage percolator coffee pot, works, great condition. Not sure it’s exactly an impulse buy since it’s not for us but he loves coffee and everyone swears a percolator makes great coffee and when you get to a certain age (and he’s several years older than me) the pull of a vintage gift is a lot stronger than it used to be.
But I think it fits the impulse buy category fairly well since it’s a pretty non-typical gift.

re: Ants are terrible this year (Suggestions on DIY stuff used)

I have always heard mixing two ant beds together will end both beds.
Two shovels
Replace the scoop from one bed with a scoop from another!

You need to look in the Springfield area.
This is a very bad idea. I highly recommend that you reconsider this whole position.

We made it in! First time ever….and that’s been over 2 decades.
Got a house booked also. Wasn’t dare going to wait and see on that!

Two kids here….adult age now.
The 3s were WAY worse than the 2s for both of them. They were totally getting spankings by then. Spankings by hand until older where that was no longer effective. Then we got a paddle made and used it when needed, which wasn’t often actually. When you actually spank instead of just constantly threatening, our experience is that you don’t have to resort to that often cause they KNOW you will.
Edited to add that nobody should EVER count. I don’t know who made that up but that attitude contributes to a lot of what’s wrong with kids and parenting these days. The adults should be running the show….NOT the kids!

Sounds like you already know the answer but maybe are having trouble accepting that it’s the correct answer (IMO)
When you’re older, and don’t watch your bank account balance like you used to when you’re younger, you will want the memories you could have had with kids/family more than the maybe missed $$$. Can’t buy time…
If the truck is parked and not actually used, you will have constant problems out of it when you intend your son to use it.
Speaking from experience….
You need to drive the old truck a couple of days a week if you intend to try and keep it long term for your son.
So the dilemma, providing you are willing to try this is where to keep it, is how to do this. Depending on what your line of work is, you can park it at work and drive the new truck to work and drive the old one home, and back the next morning….doing the once a week, maybe twice every few weeks. Just my 0.02!

re: When’s the last time you had a true nightmare?
Posted by LAblue on 6/18/26 at 11:41 pm to athenslife101
Zyrtec gives me nightmares. Try to stay with Claritin or Allegra, but sometimes it’s necessary to double dip because of an allergic reaction.
Took Zyrtec today. I am going to be taking it for the next few days. I’m automatically assuming nightmares are incoming.
Side note……my kids reacted the same way when they were younger. Haven’t given them Zyrtec since.

Send the Tartan Army to Louisiana. WE won’t run out.
Let’s talk about the people with big trucks NOT pulling anything that drive all over the world with their mirrors extended. Mirrors that hit mailboxes, mirrors of oncoming vehicles, etc. because they extend outside their dang lane! One of the most inconsiderate things I see on the road.
The Methodist split several years ago. Look at how many southern Methodist churches don’t have “United” in their names anymore.
Those items are important, not in value but in memories. Good for you !
My heart hurts reading this because I know some day I’ll be in your shoes. I’m on my first dog as an adult and I’m almost 50. I had to wait a long time for the right circumstances to responsibly own a dog. She lights our world up every day, and I will be broken when it’s her time. I don’t have advice but you will be on my mind and in my prayers tomorrow, and the days following. How truly blessed are we to have the boundless love of our dogs? It’s humbling. Truly…..prayers
We have a “rescue” English Bulldog. She loves us, and loves isn’t a strong enough word. She mourns even the shortest spans of time apart, and is always up for any adventure while 30 seconds earlier she had the most rhythmic hypnotic snores from whatever piece of furniture she’s on, all the while actively monitoring Amazon deliveries, the fridge opening, or the slightest new food smell in the air without any audible packaging sound occurring…..so she has excellent super-powers.
And has us all wrapped around her paw

re: One dead, multiple injured at a shooting at Chick-fil-A.
Posted by LAblue on 4/12/26 at 1:53 am to BoomerandSooner
My go to formula for traveling to an unknown city (if I can’t get better info) is to try to pick a hotel well ranked close to a Chick-fil-A.
I don’t need this formula to become questionable.

Mom and grandmother are the ones I just can’t bear to deal with.
Folks, make sure you speak from the heart while your people are still here to cherish….cause you will always feel there was more you could have said.

re: "I always wanted one" did you ever fulfill this?

I wanted an English bulldog my whole life. I’m 49. Got one 3 years ago. Might have to bury me when we have to bury her…
