Yea, when Malcolm Jenkins threw Brees under the bus for not bending the knee to some “woke” bullshite stuff in 2020, that was the end for me. Brees bent the knee, and the rest was history. Went from carving out 3 hours every Sunday or Monday night for 25-30 years glued to the TV being so invested to complete apathy. The demise of the team since then only accelerated my disinterest. I’ve watched some here and there the last 4 years, but I don’t even give them a second thought when they’re playing.

Now, my 8-year old son might change that if he starts showing interest in the team. He enjoys watching LSU football, but hasn’t developed fandom for the Saints yet.

Seeing if anyone can recommend a decent landscaper in the Lafayette/Youngsville area? Looking to plant some privacy trees and add a couple beds. I’ve used EdenScapes in the past, and while satisfied, thought they were pricey.

Nah, he stood next to them and promptly took his shirt off and started swinging it above his head.

I was a student there from 2003-2007, and those were some great memories in that student section for 5 years. Can’t wait for him to be a part of that.

I didn’t realize till football season one of the things I missed the most is that call on Sunday afternoon b!tching about how much the saints suck. He was a big Saints fan. I miss those calls a lot.

Same here. I would call him after LSU and Saints games. A week after my Dad died, LSU lost to Bama 42-13. I called my Mom..."Hey, Mom. I usually call Dad after LSU games. I guess I'm going to be calling you now. LSU played like shite, huh?!"

I didn't talk to my Mom as much as I talked to my Dad when he was living, but ever since he's passed, I'll call her everyday when I get off work and chat for 5 minutes. If anything, my Dad's death brought me closer to my Mom.

It's been a year and a couple weeks since my Dad passed. My kids and family keep me busy and my mind off the loss most of the time. It's definitely a roller coaster of emotions that first few months. He was diagnosed with colon cancer and mets to the liver in 2017, and lived a very good life for almost 7 years until the last 3 months of his life. I was thankful for the time I had with him for all those years, and relieved when he finally passed that he was no longer suffering. I saved all of his voicemails since 2017, because I knew I would go back to them just to hear his voice.

If you have kids, try to be as good as a father as he was, or even better. That's how I honor him. If you don't have kids, find ways to keep his memory alive. I've been playing Crosby, Stills, and Nash, Beatles, Queen, and ELO frequently since he's passed. Those were his favorite bands.

buying at the money 2028 LEAPS. I will then log off for the holidays and return to my account on 2 January

This is the way. Options dated 2 years out and in the money or slightly out the money is so much better for your stress levels. I have a lot tied up in ASTS calls expiring either Jan 2027 or December 2027. All of them ITM currently, but when I purchased them earlier this year, they were OTM (most of my contracts I purchased were between $35-50 strike price when it was trading around $25-35). I check the price daily, but I'm not glued to my phone because I'm worried about calls and theta decay with imminent expiratory dates.

I posted last night just to give an outside perspective and hopefully make some of y'all question whether it's prudent to purchase calls with such short strike dates. And to IT Dawg's reply, no, I'm not trying to make myself look good on a red week and rain on your parade. As someone who is not invested in NBIS (yet, that may change) and follows this thread, there is a lot of euphoria and hopium since May. Just today, there's been multiple posts with the words "hope" , "pray", "who knows", "I think". No one knows what the market will do, but a lot of people on here are setting themselves up for disaster. I've learned a hard lesson and will not go back down that road.

But, to each their own.

Anyone recommend a gas log installer in the Lafayette area besides Busch Fireplace on Settlers Trace? When we bought our house 2 years ago, it did not come with the logs. I see a morning low of 31 next Tuesday :lol:

I love the chicken biscuit with pepper jack cheese at the Riche’s Y-Not Stop in Broussard.

That was two batches following the AB recipe?

Yes. (5) 750 ml bottles and there's (3) 32 oz mason jars. Approximately 6.5L total. I spilled a little trying to get it in a funnel for the bottles.

Anyone been to Avo lately?

My favorite dish in the city is their lasagna. Hands down, incredible. My wife and I love Avo.


If you want something quaint, very good, and romantic, go literally across the street to Bistro Daisy. That place doesn’t get the recognition it deserves on here.
