Imagine talking shite to a team that literally won the National Championship less than a year ago. :lol:

I want to talk to y'all about small miracles

Posted by toosleaux on 5/28/26 at 9:14 pm

My 84-year-old mother has battled Alzheimer's for many years. After my dad passed, she's all I have left. Every day I visit her and it's like seeing a stranger. It's my mother's body, but a complete stranger mentally. It has been beyond difficult for me to say the least. She was my biggest cheerleader, my biggest fan, and my best friend.

Tonight, while I was sitting with her in total silence, she said my name as clearly as I've heard her say it in over 10 years. She looked at me in my eyes and said my name again. She was there for only a few seconds, but she was there.

I don't know why I feel the need to tell this to this message board, but never give up hope for your loved ones who may be suffering from an irreversible illness. My mom is still in there. Thank God for small miracles.

Voters rejected a 1-cent sales tax in 2023 to give Livingston Parish teachers a raise

Posted by toosleaux on 5/18/26 at 1:21 pm

It sparked so much fury that many teachers didn't come to work that week out of protest. Many other school districts were watching the fate of that election to see if they would mirror their own similar proposals.

Jefferson Parish tried to raise property taxes in 2024 for teacher raises, which failed.

Now this week, Amendment 3 has failed, after a similar amendment failed last year (Amendment 2, March 2025) for teacher raises.

Sales tax failed, property tax failed, and paying down the teachers retirement system debt for a raise has failed twice.

What is a viable path for teachers to get a raise? Louisiana public school teachers rank 48th nationally in pay.

Just read that the extra skill points for this Expedition are based on total damage dealt.

From reading his obituary, he had an amazing life. May he rest in peace.

Riveting stuff.

Who is a viable candidate to replace Jeff Landry?

Posted by toosleaux on 4/11/26 at 2:55 pm

Who can get enough backing to dethrone Landry? Or is Landry guaranteed a 2nd term?

Yet your life contains beautiful and profound moments.

This is what I got the most from it. I sat on my couch for probably 20 minutes after it ended in silence. It's been a while since a movie did that to me. In a sense, nobody gets a happy ending, because we all die one day. But our lives are full of moments that were beautiful, even if they were fleeting. Life isn't some grand experience with a climax, it's a collection of small moments that provided meaning. It's difficult to put it into words. Really loved this movie.

These new laser Arcs are tough as frick, but I'm liking the new content. It was sorely needed.

17 runs and had 11 left on base

Not too shabby.

How do we have the most expensive roster in D1 and can't buy a pitcher?

Running around hurricanes looking/listening for raider caches is my main activity right now. It's oddly fun and I've gotten some badass loot from them.
