You must have missed the part where I said the only equipment that I have are dumbbells and a curl bar with free weights.

Rear Delt Flies
Shoulder Press
Lunges
Farmers Walk
Straight Leg Deadlifts
Squats
Bent Over Rows

These can all be done with only dumbbells.

Get an adjustable fold up bench for like $100 and then you can throw in the following:

Chest Press (incline and flat)
Chest Flies (incline and flat)

Get a door frame chin up bar from Amazon for $30 so you can do pullups.

Stop focusing so much on just arms. Your arms will tone up plenty just from chest/shoulder presses and pullups/rows.

That's my two cents.

She does realize that they aren't to look at, but to lift, right?

I'm in the LC area, and I wouldn't pay for whatever the ridiculous price for that coffee flavored milk shake would be :lol:

I remember when GM put some kinda of lock nut on their tires. Why isn't this practiced more.

I lived in an apartment a couple years ago, leaving for work, saw an ole baw with his truck on blocks. He had lock lugs. They busted out his side window and found the lug tool. He said when they get replaced he wasnt putting the lock lugs back on :lol:

Get on Amazon, and search for men's athletic shorts. You can usually get like a 3 pack for less than $30, or a 5 pack for around $40ish. They have every option from difference inseam lengths, to with or without the liner, with or without pockets, etc. No need to spend $25-$30 for a pair of shorts.

I was knocking back 2 16oz sugar free monsters five days a week.

Since new year I've switched to cold brew coffee. Knocking down usually two 12ish oz of those a day during the week, one after my breakfast, and one after my lunch.

On the weekends I may have one or two Coke Zeros a day.

Club 4 here in Lake Charles, basic membership, $13/mo. Does not include 24 hour access or child care. But I don't need either of those options.

re: Anyone have Feedback on Bent Rod Charters out of Grand Isle?

Posted by Homey the Clown on 1/7/26 at 9:47 am to Tiger328

My old boss used to use them every year to take out a couple clients, and I was lucky enough to make one of the trips with them. I forgot the captain's name, (maybe Kenny?) but we caught our limit of cobia, mangrove, and snapper if I recall correctly. Didn't get any tuna. It was a fun trip, and the captain kept fricking with me at the beginning because I didn't know you weren't supposed to set the hook lol. It was my first trip off shore, but we had a great time, and they cleaned and packed up all our fish for us lickity split after the trip. Now that was probably almost ten years ago.

ETA: yep, it was 2017.

they are asking about people's experiences and recommendations.

Then they should say they are looking for recommendations, not just ask if anyone knows of any in the area. Be more specific with their questions, rather than so general.

"Does anyone have any experience with plumber XXX?"

"Does anyone have a plumber in ______ area they would like to recommend before I just start calling around?"

I'm certain how I would handle it. But I'm kind of a sociopath myself.

I'm certain of how I'd WANT to handle it, but that would take me away from my daughter for the rest of both our lives.

However, if I bring someone along with me who is stronger than me, to pull me off of the kid before I went too far, I'm sure I wouldn't do too much time for assault and battery causing serious bodily injury. That crime, if no weapon is used, only carries an eight year max sentence in Louisiana according to google. And being that I have no previous record, I feel like I could possibly get a much lighter sentence than the max. And I'd be okay with that.

I relate to this OP

As I get older, I too get annoyed with things in the culture where I'm presumed to understand where they're coming from/what they are/who they are.

It applies to all sorts of things:

"So on Derrick Blasinga's podcast today he said that Lane was in hot water"

WHO THE HELL IS DERRICK BLASINGA

what is a podcast

While I hate to agree with Mingo for any reason what so ever, he's not wrong saying you are literally using a machine that if you asked it the question, within seconds you'd have the answer. But this has become very normal on here for some reason. Its prevalent on my FB too with people asking questions like:

"Anyone know a plumber in ________ area?" or

"Anyone know of a mechanic in _________ area?"

Just open the frikkin google app and type in "plumber in (your town and state here).

BOOM! Theres a list of plumbers. Its really not that hard.
