re: What are my chances of getting 4 tickets together last minute?
Posted by Tiger55 on 6/10/25 at 4:07 pm
If LSU makes it to the championship series, any guesstimate on what you think tickets would be going for the day of the first game?
Which sites have y’all have most luck with on getting tickets for these games?

re: Mom is going to a nursing home (Updated pg 7)
Posted by Tiger55 on 1/26/25 at 7:39 pm
I currently work at a nursing home. When I was hired here, the executive director was the one who actually wrote the textbook you would study from if you want to take your test to get your nursing home license to run one.
Best advice I can give you is what he told me the day he interviewed me. When touring a nursing home, as you walk from the front to the back, pay attention to the smell.
Obviously if you smell urine and bad smells throughout the entire building, stay away from it. If all you smell throughout the entire facility is cleaning products, stay away from it because they are masking problems.
For the most part, it should be like your house, where you don’t smell anything. I’m not talking like smelling something in front of one room where someone had an accident, but the facility is a whole
There are some really good ones and some really bad ones, do your homework before you put your mom in one. Also go online to the state surveys, and look at their rankings. They’re ranked by a star rating, one through five, with five being the highest. This is not yelp scores or something like that, it’s based off of state inspection, surveys, and such. Do your homework before you put a loved one in a nursing home.

Bayou Sauvage
Posted by Tiger55 on 12/9/24 at 4:16 pm
We have a lease and duck hunt in Lafitte, It’s been pretty dismal the last few years with exception of a fluke weekend here or there.
My 14 year-old is getting frustrated and wants to try someplace different. Somebody recently mentioned to me that Bayou Sauvage Is a youth hunting area. Has anybody hunted this area recently and had any success?
Was going to try to go scout it maybe a week from this Friday. Has anybody hunted this area and would be willing to share some information. Especially if your son is past 15 where you won’t be hunting it again and giving up your honey hole? Lol. Thanks

re: Flea treatment for dogs?
Posted by Tiger55 on 2/9/24 at 7:30 am
Give them a bath with Dawn dish detergent. It’s extremely mild and kills fleas. Basically I would give them two baths with it back to back. Make sure they’re completely coated between their paws, between the pads on their feet, everywhere. Start at the head and work your way down. Rinse repeat.
A friend of ours rescued a cat and brought it to the vet. That’s what the vet used as the initial treatment. It’s very mild on the skin, unlike most flea soaps.
My yellow lab must’ve stepped on a pile of them or something in the woods, even though she’s on the treatment. She started it scratching, so I did this to her and could literally see the fleas dead on her surface coat as I’m washing her.

re: Do 90% of these kids really need to be on these competitive travel ball teams?
Posted by Tiger55 on 5/22/23 at 8:42 am
My son always played all the sports at rec. He’s definitely no superstar, but an average to above average player at all the sports.
When he was nine, he said he wanted to play a lot more baseball, so we signed him up for travel team. It was a team filled out with kids more or less about his level and they played in a lower division. Only practiced twice a week and played on the weekend tournaments, most of them locally or where you can drive to and from each day. End of the year went out of state for their World Series, which basically was a one week vacation with 12 of his friends and had a great time and great memories those weeks. It was about the trip more than it was about baseball.
He turned 13 this year and said he was done with it and ready to start fishing a lot more again. So we’re done with baseball. We enjoyed it because we had no expectation he was going to high school or college or anything like that to play ball. He simply wanted to play more baseball. There are lotta parents who ruin their kids and push it but there’s also parents who just let their kids do it because they want to play more baseball. And you can definitely tell which ones are which.
We lucked out and were on teams that had great families and great kids. A dad was the head coach and two other dad‘s assistant. All three had baseball backgrounds. Our cost for the year was a fraction of most other teams because all they charged us was to cover expenses. so for what we were looking for it was worked out perfect

re: How did you cope with putting your dog down?
Posted by Tiger55 on 4/20/23 at 9:11 am
Know what sucks more than putting down a 17 year old dog? Putting down a seven year old dog in her prime.
My black lab was never an aggressive eater, she usually just grazed. In the middle of this past March, she kind of stopped eating for a couple of days and started getting very lackadaisical. So I brought her to the vet. They said she had a fever and was anemic. They did more bloodwork and sent it off to see if it was from like a tick bite or something like that. It came back negative. so they had me schedule an ultrasound. It was scheduled on a Friday, which happened to be my birthday. Found out that evening after the ultrasound, she had a huge cancer mass on her spleen, that it ruptured, and was bleeding, and large cancer lesions on a liver, and basically her whole cavity look like a spiderweb filled with cancer. Said she probably wouldn’t live but a couple of more days. Took her home for the kids to visit with and by the next morning she was deteriorating quickly, so we had to bring her in and put her down. It’s been three weeks now and it’s still like a punch in the stomach.

re: 'Professional squatter' racks up $1,300 water bill as Chicago woman fights to remove him
Posted by Tiger55 on 3/25/23 at 7:42 pm
I assume there is nothing legal filed by the squatter. Once you show up and the locks are changed and you confront them and they claim squatters rights, why can’t you show up later, break your key in the door “not knowing the locks were changed “, break a window to get in, because your lock was broke. Then when they show up, and walk in, shoot them in the chest and say they were attacking you. Problem solved!
re: Question for the middle age folks on this board..
Posted by Tiger55 on 1/11/23 at 8:41 am
I’m in Accounting/Management. I am in a job that once I had everything set up the way I wanted and it flowed smoothly (processes, staff, etc.), my work life became easy. I’m here 33-37 hours a week. No weekends. Able to drop off and pick up son from school on my carpool days. I can run errands whenever want to, leave early whenever I want to. As long as I’m here a few hours then leave, not even charged vacation time for the day.
I’m happy with my salary. Between my wife and I salary, we have a good family life. We’re stretched at times like most, but easily upper middle class lifestyle.
Could I leave here tomorrow and make a lot more, yes. But can’t put a price on the free time out of here and little stress.
Find a job that isn’t stressful but still pays the bills. You don’t have to make as much as you can to be happy. It’s what you do outside of work that’s important. Find a job that gives you as much of “that” time as possible.

I just ordered a fitting to fill the little green one from a large one that has a gauge on it. I think it shows the pressure from the smaller one as empty, low and a larger area as it’s filling. Ordered off Amazon.
Haven’t used it yet to report on it.

She will simply shake down businesses in the city for the extra money. I personally know she has shaken down the Motwani family. Came to them several times for cash payments to keep out their business. Not campaign contributions , flat out cash.
I’m sure this is done to all the businesses.

re: Allison Rice murder investigation

forgot the specifics but when i was at LSU, a young female student was murdered with a knife to the chest in the parking lot of the Bengal off Nicholson. I believe she was with her twin sis when a thug approach them while going to their car and killed her.
If this was late 80’s, her name was Donna and I was dating her a little. He approached her and demanded money. She pulled out her wallet and only had $2 in it. He got pissed, said something then stabbed her.
Complete trash with no regard for life. Now you have a ton more out there with this mentality. Sickening to know that.
