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!

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.

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.

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.

The “talk” non-black races have to have about black fragility and black antisocial behavior is long overdue and very necessary as all other races have been forced into tolerating the bullsht.

Here is The Talk you are looking for.

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.

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.

As little as possible.

Nothing but wide open lanes, with only a handful of people driving on them.

Kind of like Alexandria.

Slaughter. Drove over from St. Francisville after a wedding reception several years ago. If one of those ghouls you hear about in the ghost stories teenagers tell each other had appeared in my headlights, I would not have been surprised.

Thank you for your volunteer work post-Katrina, prostyleoffensetime. I’ve spent enough time on the MS Gulf Coast since then to know how much the service given by the volunteers meant then, and still means to them.

Of the restaurants you mentioned, Anthony’s is the only one we are familiar with. From my research, it looks like there’s been a bit of growth, and perhaps turnover, since our last long visit.

This will be a special-occasion trip. In the past, we’ve spent it on the FL panhandle, but for various reasons that doesn’t work for us this year. I enjoy Ocean Springs for its art-centric personality, but also for the maritime connection. (A college friend’s family were boat-builders there.) We hope to enjoy cycling, kayaking, and fishing while there, in addition to the pastimes I mentioned above. I look forward to your trip report!

Going to be in OS later this summer. We have spent time there over the years, but usually just for a weekend. This will be a longer stay. Anyone have suggestions for food, shopping, activities that we may not be aware of? Our last visit there was in 2021.
