Used to eat that stuff by the handful, straight from the box, no bowl or milk.

Praying every day since I learned about this. Hard to think that something Southern children grew up taking for granted could be so dangerous.

I used to read horror novels. Stephen King and Anne Rice kept me awake for the full shift.
re: Anyone have advice on slowing down cognitive decline with aging?

My primary care doctor advised me to get evaluated for a CPAP after I mentioned some memory issues. I’ve been using it almost a year now, and the memory slippage seems to have stopped. My grandfather died of Alzheimer’s, and he snored terribly for years. Now I wonder if the snoring was a contributing factor.
re: If you go to Adult Camp, you are not an adult!
Posted by South Shore Cyclist on 8/12/26 at 11:11 pm to CR4090
I missed out on attending sleepaway camp as a child. (Our family did half-day camp in town, at the local Y.) I always regretted not having that experience, and would love to attend an adult camp which tries to mimic it as much as possible.

Agree. Heard a clip of his speech on the evening news and immediately had flashbacks to OBummer. Hope his career flames out, ‘cause I do not want to listen to those cadences EVER again.

I have very limited experience with cocaine, and it’s been years since those days. Can someone enlighten me on its effects on an athletic young man of color, with a tall, thin, muscular build? Thanks.

If you look at the second Brandon Tatum interview tape with his friend Warren, you’ll see that the friend group are leaving for the island from what looks like a million-dollar house on the water in the area back off of the Sound. The family clearly knew that these people have deep pockets, and that’s where they chose to focus their attacks.
re: When did classroom Amazon and Target registries become a thing for teachers?
Posted by South Shore Cyclist on 7/26/26 at 1:09 am to cbree88
My mother was a teacher, now retired. She supported us on her teacher’s salary. Every fall, she was buying supplies for her classroom out of her paycheck. That money could have gone toward her own family’s needs, but she was expected to provide classroom supplies on her own. I have no problem with spreading the responsibility for these needs around, and taking the weight of it off of teachers’ shoulders.
re: Foot fungus question

Just remember to be patient. It took several weeks before I was sure it was working. I had black fungus on my nails which went away pretty quickly, but the nail was still crumbling from the underlying infection. After about a month I could see that the new nail growing in was healthy. The nail is about halfway grown out now, and there’s just a small amount remaining from the infection that is too close to the quick to cut out. Good luck!

My dermatologist tried to sign me up for this, but when she scheduled me for a liver panel I noped out of there. That’s when I started researching home remedies. I figured there was something people used before we became so medicalized. Sure enough, there are several out there. Vicks was the easiest for me; I already had some in the medicine cabinet.

Apply it on the nail, but also generously on the skin surrounding the nail. Clip your nail short, and grease up the nailbed there, too. My research indicated that the fungus looks for opportunities to “hide” under the skin, so you are trying to cut off its access to oxygen, among other things. It took a while, so be patient.
ETA: Forgot to mention that I applied it once a day, at bedtime. Didn’t want to deal with socks and shoes getting anointed with VapoRub.

Vicks VapoRub. Tried numerous treatments. It’s the only thing that made a difference. Now I’m just waiting for the nail to completely grow out.

My nephew lives in Ocean Springs and had to let a few folks go because of this mess. Not because they were directly involved but because there were arguments and almost fights on job sites. It's a mess.
One of the things about OS that has always impressed me is the strong sense of community there. It’s like a real life version of the quirky, but idyllic small towns that are so popular in our media culture. I hope a way can be found to move past this that knits the bonds there even tighter than before. A way was found to move through the devastation after Katrina, and come back stronger. May a good path also be found out of this darkness.

I feel sorry for Nolan's siblings. Because of their parents' actions, rather than being embraced by the greater community, they are ostracized. They are going to have to move. Ocean Springs is a great place to live. They screwed that up for nothing.
I suspected that this would end up being the case. It’s hard to see how the community will be able to get past the hard feelings that have been stirred up. Accepting that this was a tragic drowning from the start would have placed Nolan’s family in a unique position of sympathy, and earned them lifelong goodwill from those who knew and admired him. That scenario has been squandered now.
I’d be interested to hear from someone on the ground in Ocean Springs about how they are faring there. A good friend from college was from OS, and introduced me to it back in the day. I have enjoyed visiting there for many years. We actually have an upcoming trip scheduled. I’m wondering now what that will be like.

It’s pretty clear from the footage of the home from which the kids left for Horn Island that some of these kids’ parents have VERY deep pockets. Nolan’s mother’s behavior is beginning to look more and more sus to me.

There is a talk that nonblack Americans have with their kids, too. My own kids, now 19 and 16, have had it in bits and pieces as subtopics have arisen. If I were to assemble it into a single talk, it would look something like the following.

I think what makes this story atypical of most drownings is the fact that no one actually saw him drown.
I almost drowned in Lake Pontchartrain at the public beach as a child. I had stepped off of that slimy seawall, expecting to land on a sandy bottom. But the lakebed had been scoured away by wave action, and I was literally in over my head. The thing about it is that I was surrounded by adults, and no one realized what was happening. I had not had swimming lessons yet, and was struggling to get back to the seawall. Fortunately I made it, but no one around me noticed, or intervened. Drowning is a quiet event, unlike how it’s portrayed in media. He could very well have been in the midst of a group and, if no one was specifically focused on him, been unnoticed.

There’s a post up on Facebook publicizing a “protest” in Ocean Springs this Saturday. It’s not clear who is organizing it. Location is Government and State St. Time: 5 pm. Comments are asking why a protest rather than a vigil or tribute. Nolan’s mother repeated several times in a televised interview that she did not want any violence, which makes me think that might be the point. Perhaps someone wants to create footage for the Sunday talk shows, and Monday’s news shows. One of the commenters wonders if protesters will be bused in.
