re: Cox bought. out by spectrum
Posted by Carolhdg on 8/21/26 at 1:19 pm to tigerbacon
We thought we were having trouble with Cox for a while, then changed out our 20 year old cable coming into the house. Turned out it wasn't a Cox problem, it was our ancient cable. No problems since. We'll give Spectrum a try.

re: How did your parents meet?
Posted by Carolhdg on 8/15/26 at 10:04 am to HailHailtoMichigan!
They met at work, got married 6 weeks later. I appeared 2 years later, followed by 3 siblings. They were married for 53 years.

If she has to go to the hospital for any reason from now on, try to get her to the Lake, and ask for the social worker right away. They were great about finding the correct (legitimate) diagnosis for my mother to get into rehab. The social worker handled the calls to the facilities we chose.
Medicare paid for rehab for several weeks. We used the one at St James the first time and Ollie Steele Burden the second time. Both are very expensive if you have to pay out of pocket.

My grandparents were born in 1903, 1904 & 1912. They grew up with iceboxes and were calling the fridge that when I was small. I asked my dad why they called it that, and he explained about how iceboxes were used before electricity. It was probably the first time I realized how different things were in my grandparents' lifetimes.
re: Legit Toyota dealers in Louisiana
Posted by Carolhdg on 6/11/26 at 10:35 am to Reubaltaich
We've bought three used Toyotas (Tacoma, Corolla, and a Camry) from Price LeBlanc. The prices were reasonable, they were in excellent condition, and we're still driving them years later. A friend of ours had the same experience with two vehicles, recently. I suspect whether or not you get a good deal depends on the salesman.
re: Should I do a 2027 home run tracker
Posted by Carolhdg on 5/19/26 at 12:10 pm to AlecRock23
I like it; keep doing it. You have to learn to ignore the trolls. I have a son and a brother with high functioning autism, too, so I understand your fascination with the data. I suspect more people like your tracker than dislike it, and those that object should ignore it and move on.

Only if it doesn't take funds away from baseball and basketball.

Did you start taking any new medications in the last couple of years? When my husband started taking a statin, his memory and cognitive function started to slip. When he stopped, both returned to normal. That happened with all three of the statins he tried.

Yep, swarming in Shenandoah near O'Neal.

You should have been around in the sixties. My dad used to take me and my brothers after church on Sundays to give my mother a rest. We sat in the grandstand, and there were maybe fifty to a hundred people there scattered about. I suspect some of them were there to see the other team.
We were able to run around and play while Dad scored the game while shaking his head and frowning (he played in college and semi pro baseball for a while).

We've been using that Prudhomme recipe, slightly modified (less butter, flour, and peppers), for decades. It never fails to be delicious. You can use chicken or vegetable stock instead of the seafood stock.
They're swarming in Shenandoah right now.
re: What to do about mother's cat.
Posted by Carolhdg on 4/15/26 at 1:01 pm to prplhze2000
I’ve had cats for over 50 years; I love them. I’m 68 now and have two cats that may outlive me. Thankfully, my son has agreed to take them when I pass, and they like him. If one of my cats was 17, missed me, and was behaving badly because of that, I would be okay with my son having it put down by a vet. I would not expect him to spend a lot of his hard earned money on the medical or behavioral issues of an older cat, either. I love my son, too, and I wouldn’t want him to be made miserable by an ancient cat that has lived a full life for that long.
re: PSA: Do not leave cash tips for servers unattended.
Posted by Carolhdg on 4/13/26 at 11:56 am to BoomerandSooner
We typically hand our server cash for that reason and one other. In some restaurants and coffee shops, the electronic tips are combined and equally distributed among all of the servers. So a bad server gets the same tip % as a good one. That happened where my daughter worked a few years ago (CC's Coffee, Baton Rouge).
re: Will fans actually show up for the games in Nov and Dec
Posted by Carolhdg on 3/26/26 at 11:32 am to nicholastiger
My family had season tickets from the time the PMAC opened until my dad could no longer navigate the stairs. My husband and I went occasionally until Wade was fired; haven't been back since. We will definitely start going again.

Squid brand is very good and less expensive than Red Boat. Check Asian stores; they often have the best prices.
re: Where is the best venue in Baton Rouge to hold a 65th wedding anniversary event ?

Forrest Grove Plantation in Denham Springs. My friend had her daughter's wedding there. It's a beautiful venue and less expensive than Baton Rouge.

re: Who would you co-sign a car for
Posted by Carolhdg on 2/13/26 at 11:54 am to dyslexiateechur
My dad cosigned for me when I was in my twenties and had a good job. He knew me well enough to know that I would be responsible with payments. I paid off the car early.
I think my children are the only ones I would do that for, and only in a similar situation (good job and responsible behavior). Thankfully they're all in their thirties and have good credit.
When my son got his second car in his early twenties, he didn't have good credit yet. My husband offered to cosign for him, but he refused, saying he would take the high interest loan and pay it off quickly to establish his own credit, which he did.
My husband and I both have excellent credit, so we would never have to cosign for each other.

My dad used to listen on the radio, too. He would score the game at home, sitting in his easy chair. He loved baseball.
