Apply to be a maintenance technician in the apartment industry. Be sure your resume has a list of maintenance you can do. You will follow senior supervisors that will teach you and they will guide you how to get your HVAC card.

Y'all have no clue what you are asking. Most men cannot hang with widows.

So here is what happens.

1. Ya horn dog friends, married or not, will hit on her. She will likely be disgusted.
2. At the same time, the widow chasers will arrive on the scene and think she has money.

Both 1 and 2 happen in the first year. After year 1, the following happens:

3. She will start dating. She will likely have a dark sense of humor and converge with other widows who are the same. She will likely stop telling men she is widowed because widows are perceived as sad.

4. She will have a new phase that will hit her from nowhere and she will not understand. Timing when it happens is random. Can start as early 6 months, but can even happen 5 years later. We will call this the widhoe stage.

5. She will be abandoned by people.... including your family. All the people who said they would be there are gone after month 1.

6. She will still miss you and cry for you years later. Even decades. She will still think about you and the life you are missing together.

7. She will contend with other men who cannot deal with you. They will ask her to take your pictures down and not talk about you. Make sure you leave her enough money so she doesn't have to deal with crap like that.

Few things you should know. Widows go from married tax rate to single tax rate the year after you die. She gets to live on half of what she had at a higher tax rate. Widows with kids get social security. Those with kids over 18 get nothing until retirement. There are no advocacy groups for these 40 to 65 Widows and they struggle the most. An overwhelming number of widows fall into poverty after death of a spouse. Death of a spouse is the most life changing event and the average person doesn't understand. It isn't at all uncommon for widows to hear "I know your sadness as I felt that way when my dog died." Your dog didn't take out the trash and pay bills.

Her life will forever change and she will have many new battles. She will be judged if she dates too soon and then there will be the other crowd who is on her about not dating. And the men out there she can date are sheetshows. If you didn't provide for her after death in a decent manner, she will have no choice to settle to survive or she will have to make choices on what to lose / give up.

I am not surprised by the confusion of what people assume to be Cajun names. Cajun means your ancestors were kicked out of Nova Scotia around 1760. The French were in Louisiana prior to this event. Those French are called Creole. Creole has nothing to do with race, but more so ethnicity. The parents of Creoles were from across the ocean, to include Italy, France, Spain, Africa, etc. They spoke French and practiced the Catholic faith. They settled Louisiana 40+ years prior to the Cajuns arriving. Most of Louisiana is Creole, not Cajun.

So why are we known as Cajun? A marketing push by Acadiana during the 1970s to promote Cajun culture. It erased the Creole identity. But the term "Creole" was used for two hundred plus years to describe our ancestors, including in civil records and newspapers.

Next time you pull out your bottle of Tony Chacere's, take a good look at it. This product was created prior to the Cajunization of Louisiana. You will notice it is listed as "Creole" seasoning.

The following names I saw listed are Creole, nor Cajun:

Jeasonne
Saucer
Lemoine
Coco
Rabalais
Ducote
Decuir
Quebedeaux
Bordelon (the mother of the Bordelon family, Anne Francois Roland, was in 1720s NOLA. Her son went on to become a commander in the Pointe Coupee Militia, thereby eventually getting a land grant in Avoyelles.)
Gremillion
Mayeaux
Normand
Oubre
Juneau
Couvillion

Also, most people are unaware that the two oldest settled areas in the state outside of New Orleans are Pointe Coupee and Natchitoches, which were being settled at the same time as NOLA.

And that, kiddos, is your Louisiana history lesson of the day.

It is no secret that crime has been out of control in Baton Rouge for some time. Maybe this case will kickstart changes to make Baton Rouge a better and safer place.

People who are adopted or who do not know the identity of a parent have a strong need to know where they came from. However, most adoptees are able to distinguish between the people who raised them lovingly as their parents and the people who gave birth to them.

These parents for 50+ years grieved and wondered what became of their child. Their grieving has come to an end. Most kids who are sold like this naturally feel something is not right with their family and they do not belong. Same case with hidden adoptions and believing a parent may not be a bio parent.

What did you think marriage would be? Did you think that it would always stay like it was in your dating stage? Is the grass looking better in single town? Ask your single friends how much harder life is doing what two people once worked together on as a couple. And dating..... LOLOLOL

You have unrealistic expectations of marriage. Maybe you should leave so your wife can find a better option. There is some man out there who is willing to step into your shoes and raise your kids in her house. Just saying.....
