re: Parenting question - what time should a teenager be going to bed during the school year?
Posted by ILurkThereforeIAm on 8/16/26 at 7:50 am to StringedInstruments
My 13 year old (8th grade) has had a 9pm bedtime for a few years now. He’s been asking to stay up later for a while. But, since his grades and homework/study habits so far this year have been a vast improvement from last year, he now gets to stay up until 10. If the grades suffer or he has trouble waking up in the morning, bedtime becomes 9pm again.

I watched the whole season and if someone asked me to summarize what happened….I don’t think I could do it.
There are too many people that don’t matter and I can’t keep the names straight. I didn’t have this problem with GOT and I loved Knight of the Seven Kingdoms. But HOD has completely lost me.

re: Flesh eating bacteria deaths in Louisiana
Posted by ILurkThereforeIAm on 8/9/26 at 7:05 am to Night Vision
I have a relative in south Mississippi who scraped his leg on his boat trailer (not even in the water) which resulted in a vibrio infection. He passed away not long after. I think he used peroxide on the cut which didn’t get rid of it. From what I’ve read, something like Vashe Wound Solution is better suited for cleaning a cut where Vibrio is concerned.

I don’t know how they can keep him on after seeing those text messages. I think he had the benefit of the doubt until those texts were released.

Aaaaaaaaaaand he was just indicted.
Lamont Cole Indicted WAFB
Lamont Cole Indicted WAFB
quote:
BATON ROUGE, La. (WAFB) - East Baton Rouge Parish School Superintendent Lamont Cole was indicted by a grand jury Wednesday on the eve of the school year starting, following summer break for East Baton Rouge students.
Cole is the latest official accused of corruption as Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill’s sweeping probe into Baton Rouge officials continues.
A grand jury formally charged Cole Wednesday with conspiracy to commit public bribery, money laundering, and malfeasance in office.
Cole’s indictment Wednesday stems from his time as an East Baton Rouge Metro Councilman, and not his actions while working at the East Baton Rouge Parish School System.
re: Search underway for missing mother and 10-year-old daughter, last seen with sex offender.
Posted by ILurkThereforeIAm on 8/5/26 at 11:24 am to Breauxsif
A post about this on some community page (that I'm not a member of, nor do I follow) showed up in my Facebook newsfeed a few days ago. I searched and was able to find it again. Screenshot below.
Awful situation. That guy sounds like the scum of the earth. I hope and pray that they find these two alive, but if he's in custody and isn't talking, then the chances of that happening are probably not very good.

re: The Idaho Murders on Netflix
Posted by ILurkThereforeIAm on 7/30/26 at 6:45 am to Make It Rayne
I thought it was well done. I appreciated the details and timeline given out by Moscow PD. They had a lot of evidence on BK, and how anyone can doubt his guilt is beyond me. Even though the PD was heavily criticized by the internet, they were very methodical and went to the FBI for help right away (as opposed to that weirdo chief on the Nancy Guthrie case).
I don’t fault the families or friends for any of their behavior. I can’t even begin to imagine what it was like to go through all of this.
BK is pure evil, but also an extreme douche. What a fricking creepy loser.

re: Cajun Naval Battle - Lawsuits filed!
Posted by ILurkThereforeIAm on 7/28/26 at 4:59 pm to Hangit
Initially I was under the impression that both orgs were money hungry scammers. Lately though, United Cajun Navy has been in the news a lot participating in search and rescues pretty regularly . They seem more legit than I originally thought.
Which of these orgs is on the right side of this? Or are they both sheisters?

re: Bryan Kohberger Seeks to Take Back Guilty Plea
Posted by ILurkThereforeIAm on 7/27/26 at 1:40 pm to real turf fan
One of the defense's paid experts is an attention whore.
quote:
One of the experts who worked on Mr. Kohberger’s defense team has taken particular issue with the plea arrangement and the evidence. Brent Turvey, a forensic scientist who analyzed the crime scene for the defense, argued that the crime was committed by multiple perpetrators, criticized how investigators documented evidence and questioned why more testing was not done of a hair found with one of the victims.
The lawyers who served as Mr. Kohberger’s defense team have rebuked Mr. Turvey, telling The Idaho Statesman that he “is now speaking about topics that are still confidential, many of which are outside of his areas of expertise.” The lawyers did not immediately respond to a request for comment Monday. Mr. Turvey’s concerns were included in a book about the case, “Broken Plea.”

re: Any fishing tips for Toccoa river in late summer?
Posted by ILurkThereforeIAm on 7/25/26 at 5:03 pm to Chilton4Bama
We did a guided fly fishing trip on the Toccoa with a service out of Blue Ridge. Toccoa River Outfitters, I think? We met our guide at a small launch and waded into the water and fished for a few hours. That was our first time fly fishing, so he had to spend some time teaching us the technique. We caught a lot of trout. Very cool experience.

Yeah, that part doesn’t make much sense. People who lie about having cancer aren’t the type to fall on the sword for someone else, so she must have been scared of him.

Yes. All 3 are legitimately crazy and they somehow managed to find each other. I do believe Michelle, though. She’s just regular crazy and not manipulative crazy like the other two.
I hate-watched Hulu’s documentary “My Grandfather Charles Manson”
Posted by ILurkThereforeIAm on 7/24/26 at 8:26 am
I didn’t realize it was a hate-watch until well after I started it. The father of a Gen Z wanna’ be actress submits his DNA to one of the online services, finds a half brother, and learns Charles Manson is his father. Gen Z daughter then makes this her entire identity and makes a documentary about it all and how it affects her.
She cries way too much.
She and her dad have an interesting dynamic. It’s pretty dysfunctional, but there’s a lot of footage from her childhood showing how much he loves her. He seems very damaged, which makes sense because he had a messed up childhood.
He does look a lot like Charles Manson.
She interviews a lot of people who were involved with Manson. Some were members of his family, some were friends/sympathizers from his time in prison, some were involved in the trial. She wants to feel sympathy for Manson and show that he wasn’t pure evil, so she sort of minimizes what some of these people say. She calls him “grandpa” at one point which is ridiculous because her dad didn’t even know Manson was his father until recently.
She makes it ALL about her and it seems forced. I get that finding out that Manson is your biological grandfather would be disturbing, but it’s more of an issue her for dad then her.
I almost turned this off before I finished it, but I made it through. She’s pretty insufferable.

re: Dan Wetzel blames "Travel Ball" for the lack of development of US Soccer
Posted by ILurkThereforeIAm on 7/8/26 at 9:28 am to teke184
I have a 13 year old son, and it seems to be less niche among his generation. They all wear the jerseys, play FIFA World Cup on the Xbox, and argue about which pro player is the best. He plays soccer at the local rec district, but only started doing that recently because he was interested in pro soccer first. I’m glad he did, because otherwise I wouldn’t have known shite about soccer or the World Cup. It’s been fun to watch.

Try with the water department first. If they don’t assist or if you don’t get a response, go straight to your JP council person.
re: Are there any effective mosquito controls-this summer is madness.
Posted by ILurkThereforeIAm on 6/30/26 at 7:44 am to VanRIch
We live next to a floodplain forest so I’ve given up on prevention. But we use Thermacell repellers when we sit on our back porch and they keep the mosquitoes out of the immediate area so we can enjoy being outside. They’re portable, so bring them with you if you’ll be in one spot for a while.
