Aw, come on. How many people on this board can say they’ve never had sex without a condom or a test result or proof of virginity?

This brings back memories of cheese, tomato sauce, and shrimp pizza for lunch in (Catholic) high school during Lent. Put me off shrimp for life.
“Eldorado highway.” Haven’t heard that term for hwy 82 from Magnolia in a while.

Once i saw a silent black triangle craft with unblinking lights on each point fly low and slow over the LP. No sound at all and perfectly smooth flight. I took video and what should have been perfectly clear was grainy AF.

re: Would you vax for Hanta?

Depends on how prevalent/bad it is.

masks and lockdowns for everyone!


I refused the Covid vax but would willingly lockdown and mask (and prob vax) for an outbreak of hantavirus. Bad shite there.
I love how each political “side” is just dying for some scientific study to tell them how to feel about pollution. Like “yay, i get to live in shite, garbage, and poison!”
I do a version of this in the backyard. After the flood, the grass never came back. I kept putting off trying to bring back the monoculture of centipede. I started getting into looking at and identifying the “weeds.” Eventually i settled on mowing and weedeating every 2-3 weeks. It’s a lot of clover and little flowering plants. Yes, “stickers” and dollarweed too, but i like how many bees the clover gets.

Would you rather have daddy government be the safety net every time a dumbass with no insurance runs into you?


How about debtors’ prison? It seems like since the government became involved in insurance, (as with college loans), prices skyrocketed.

One of those pics is Lee. The other guy is still at large.

This fool Jermaine Guillory needs to lose his job, his license, and face jail time


The crazy thing is, not only did Guillory put the public at risk, he also screwed over the guy he was trying to help. From where i see it, the cops knocked on Washington’s door because a) the photo of the person of interest looked just like him and b) without the ankle monitor, they didn’t know where he was. If Washington was indeed just sitting at home minding his own business with his gun and his drugs, this shooting was bad luck for him.

It’s a really bad look for our local “justice” system. Plus the press conference that was 99% the officials congratulating each other and 1% them telling us about how the one perp turned himself in and the other is still on the loose. In our city. With us.

Jesus. That video can’t be that old, as he is only 17 now.

Thank FDR's EO for that one.... "benefits" came into popularity during the wage/salary freeze of ww2.


Yeah, i’m not at all for socialism but i don’t believe the healthcare being tied to either employment or government model is ever going to be completely scrapped in this country unless, well, the country is completely scrapped. The current system punishes the “producers.”

We pay personal income tax, business income tax, personal property tax, business property tax, franchise tax, match a payroll tax, pay sales tax on anything we buy, it just goes on and on and on and on and on and on. I have to have homeowners insurance, personal vehicle insurance, private health insurance for me and my kids, workers comp insurance, general liability insurance, fleet vehicle insurance, additional umbrella insurance, and provide group health insurance benefits to keep good employees. Meanwhile, dipshits that offer absolutely nothing to society get handouts in the millions from tax "refunds" or free healthcare. Where TF are my subsidies for being a contributing member of society


That’s my argument for having some type of national healthcare coverage plan. Covers everyone but also has copays for everyone. The taxpayers benefit from their taxes and the non tax payers have at least a little skin in the game. Plus i don’t think the fact that if you’re too sick to work you lose your healthcare benefits because they are tied to you being employed makes a bit of sense.

Anyway, that’s my unpopular opinion.

They spent millions putting bike paths down S Harrells Ferry several months back while making the driving lanes narrower. I live off of S Harrells Ferry, and I've yet to see a single bike on them


Yeah, they just made a little row for bikes to ride dangerously close to cars that are driving in lanes that are dangerously too narrow now. Wtf.
I’m no metalhead but i like “Freak on a Leash” by Korn.
I hate when people try to force the word “cadence” into a conversation or email. Sounds clunky and try-hard.

My dad and i did the liquid a few years back. Dug a trench ourselves and applied it. But we’re both not getting any younger so i’m going to pay a company soon.

Speaking of, who do you guys recommend? What do you pay?
Had some in Denham Springs yesterday. As of the evening they seemed to have left.
