It is starting to look like the field crew has beef with the replay crew in these calls now.

re: Service Dogs for Vets

There used to be a program at Angola that trained service dogs for vets. A buddy of mine got a dog to help with service connected issues when he fell the dog could brace so he could stand, attend in the store so people wouldn’t get to close, help clear the house and wake from night terrors.
I am not pleased with the outcome of the last several seasons and was very hopeful at the start of this one. To avoid a buyout, I would put feelers out for a new coach for when Torino’s contract ends next year unless she is willing to step down and stay on as a pitching coach.

This isn’t true. All public school students are required to take the standardized tests- LEAP & whatever other ones are out there. The ACT is not a standardized test.


Actually, in Louisiana and other southern states, Alabama for example, the ACT is part of a high school’s school performance score and is a standardized test for all students in that state. All 11th graders take the ACT during a regular school day and that score counts in the school’s results. Is it flawed? Absolutely. ACT has even come out and said that its test should not be used as a factor in determining school performance, but the states do what they want.
The scheme used last night needs to be completely thrown away. It will not work in SEC play.

Scheming out one of your best playmakers (Perkins) should be a sign you have messed up.

I don’t normally have start over mentality, but that is one of the worst defenses I have seen from LSU in quite some time.
This was my favorite moment of the celebration and I am so thrilled it’s a billboard. I would love to have this as a sticker—my kids would put it on their laptops.

I’ve been to multiple games there in the 3-4 years. Parks close to the stadium/school and don’t have obvious valuables lying open in your car (that goes for anywhere in BR really).

There will be police there.

The fans should be fine unless you or people near you start something.

Kids headed to college have to read enough terrible classics in high school.


With the way public school is set up around testing now, very few kids are reading full novels at all. At best they are getting excerpts of classics, for the most part they are getting short, meaningless pieces geared towards being easy to evaluate “skills.”
We had an excellent experience at Most Blessed Sacrament for Pre-K.
These new positions are beyond unnecessary when there are schools that need to be repaired and stakeholders were told that long term positions couldn’t be funded through COVID money. EBRPSS has had struggles for awhile, but this man is not even trying to help.
I did this myself in the late 90s as others have said, you really aren’t alone. My daughter will be 8 in January and I think next summer I would let her make the trip I used to from New Orleans to San Francisco to visit her other side of the family.

I worry less about her in the airport than her talking the ear off of the person next to her, but she’s gotten good with long car rides and some flights together, so I think she will be ready.
The titles of the books aren’t listed in the article, but everyone is acting like these books are going to be super aggressive and anti-white. I may live in a bubble, but I haven’t seen any kids books like that. I think the article might be skewing this to sound more radical than it really is. These are probably some books with children from different cultures as main characters doing normal kid stuff. One that makes these lists a lot is Ada Twist, Scientist. Just a book about a girl who likes science. She happens to be black; it’s a cute book. If that’s the “indoctrination,” there are way bigger problems in the world.

Does Louisiana have a teachers union?



Yes, three, in fact. Louisiana is not a strong union state for teachers, likely due to the division of the unions, and so none of them really accomplish anything at the district or state level. The biggest reason to be in a union as a teacher in Louisiana would be to protect yourself from parental lawsuits.
I can’t spend Thanksgiving with my parents because they are in their 80s and just got released from the hospital for COVID after being there a month. It put my step mom in ICU. My daughter hasn’t seen them all year.

You 100% go get tested. You schedule online, sit in you car, let them put the swab in your nose and like it.
We cloth diapered our daughter until she started potty training with pockets and all in ones. It wasn’t bad, honestly, and not much different than disposables. Now, we didn’t start until she could fit into the one size, so we used newborn disposables. Baby never had diaper rash and we got enough that we washed once a week. They even took them at daycare. One set of diapers took her from four months to potty training, so we did save money for sure.
My daughter’s godmother’s sister was an engineer for about four years then got laid off and went to medical school like her dad. She is now a dermatologist in a nice private practice with no debt.
This show is something I thought I would hate but is surprisingly entertaining. I really enjoy Joey and Shooby—one of them is my first choice to win.

Sean’s confession was an interesting move and I am over Adam.

I did. I didn’t expect him to be so emotional or his speech to be that emotional.
