Every year I buy about 30 ribeye steaks. Keep them in an ice chest in my truck and hand them out as I see people over the holidays.

I’m 43, had LASIK at 30, and hoped I would get to at least 45 or even 50, but my eyes are starting to fail me as well. I’m probably 20/30 or 20/40, so it’s not terrible yet, but right after surgery I was 20/10. I haven’t looked in to any surgical remedies as of yet. I know LASIK is not an option again, but I think there are some other options that didn’t used to be available.

Same exact scenario for me except I just made 41 and had LASIK when I was 25. Definitely noticing it and need to get checked out.

I was there a few weeks ago for quick work conference. Only ventured out to dinner at Coco Bistro and it was fantastic. I recommend a day trip by boat. Our group rented a big catamaran.

Electric Go Kart or ATV for 8 year old??

Posted by nolaTiger24 on 11/16/25 at 7:00 pm

Looking to get my 8 year old an electric go kart or ATV for Christmas. Needs to be electric because the place we go often visit requires electric vehicles around the lakes. Wish that wasn’t the case, but it is what it is. Any suggestions?

Last night my four year wanted to cook "pasta" all by himself.

He took a bowl, filled it with cheerios.
Had me cut up hot dogs and put on top of cheerios.
He then tore up sliced american cheese put on top.

That was his pasta and he loved it. Whatever works.

Posted by nolaTiger24 on 10/1/25 at 8:08 am to Y.A. Tittle

Why would people not enjoy a free lunch? If your employees are not miserable at their job this should be a slight morale boost to disconnect for a few minutes with your coworkers. If you are negative on getting a free slice of pizza, then you should look for another job.

Would you rather everyone get a $3.50 bonus instead?

Is this Big Bay Lake in Hattiesburg?

I looked at a place in there in ‘21 and was real close to making an offer.

Physician recommended donating blood regularly.

Is this normal when getting testosterone? I am currently waiting for my results to come back.

I did yearly bloodwork this past spring and everything came back normal except something called Ferritin. Short story is that its high iron levels. It was 5 times the normal range and their fix was me giving blood. Each time I gave blood my level was almost cut in half. Doctor said not to change anything and its just something I may have to due once or twice per year.

I would say GW Fins has been the most consistent restaurant in the city the last twenty years or so.

This is such a bad take. Most men and women that are professionally driven have no interest in getting married before 30.

Agreed. I can put a podcast or music on and just zone out for an hour and before I know it I am 4 miles in and soaking wet. The low impact has helped me tremendously because I hate running and always had little injuries.
