I don't eat in casinos, morally opposed to legalized gambling.

2018 Subaru Forester, 50K Miles, looks like new, drives like new.
or
2025 Acura RDX, prefer the Subaru, but if my wife is with me, she wants to take the Acura. Subaru is a perfect piece of machinery.

re: How do you know it’s time for a career change
Posted by andouille on 10/5/26 at 12:22 pm to turnpiketiger
I changed careers 180 degrees at 52, so I've been there. I took a lot of time to plan and save for the move, I didn't have F/U money, but I had a path lined out. I'm going to presume that you would like to start your own business, to me, freedom, investing in myself, are what would make it all worth it.
1. Start putting every penny you can away, unless you are very lucky, a new career will mean a lower income for a while.
2, Decide the direction you want to go. Do you want to be a franchisee, a standalone business, an independent sales rep? Explore all the possibilities.
3. If married, this is a joint venture, if your spouse isn't behind you on this, you don't have a chance.
4. Do NOT burn any bridges, your old boss and colleagues can be a great asset.
5. Do go into a field you know little about, sounds obvious, but I see it all the time. If you're not a plumber, don't start a plumbing company.
6. Take your time, do it right.

The 2019 team is the standard that all teams will be compared against, get used to it, be proud.
I don't want it dark until 8am in the winter, I'm as GOP as anyone.
We went on a Sunday morning because we had a $100 gift card, I figured, incorrectly, that money would make it through a brunch menu. We were the only likely Republicans there, 2 mimosas, 2 coffees, 2 brunches, the gift card didn't quite make it. Food was nothing special.
The other clientele were nice people, dressed better than me, no problem, but why does an overpriced place like Stab's attract that demographic? Maybe they advertise more in that community.

Yes, I lost several friends and relative who were in good health. Mardi Gras 2020 was brutal, I knew 4 people who were on ventilators, 2 of them died. This wasn't the flu, we had a couple come to dinner, the next day they had it, 2 days later we had it, terrible symptoms for a week.
Closing the schools was the dumbest thing ever, the worst possible reaction. Many cases of kids being cared for by grandparent, because parents were working. The kids weren't vulnerable, the grandparent were.

Kids on electric bikes pisses me off. Yeah, I'm a boomer shouting at the clouds, but the best exercise we got as kids were riding our bikes everywhere we went. The other was that as soon as we got out of school, we were playing touch football, baseball, basketball, not video games.
In the afternoon, if you drove down a neighborhood street, there were kids outside playing something. Yeah, the girls and some geek was inside watching Bandstand, but regular kids were calorie burning machine. We were all skinny because we didn't want to take time to eat.
I can't remember the last time I saw kids out playing in the street or a vacant lot. No parents, not organized, just fun.

I think the fatigue is so widespread, there would be a universal yawn, especially among the corporate HQ's. BLM made them look so foolish. On the other hand, would the wokies try to use it as a launch pad for more rioting?

re: How old were you when life lost its thrill?
Posted by andouille on 9/30/26 at 9:32 pm to Dawg Collar
I'm almost 77, I appreciate every day the God has given me. I won the life lottery, wonderful wife and family, I still work in IT and get a thrill when people trust me to fix their problems.
I get a wide range of questions every day, "I have to put my brother in memory care, where do you recommend", "I want to buy my husband a nice camera for Christmas, what do you suggest?", "I have to do an award dinner for church, can you help me plan the menu".
Some days it wears me out, but 90% of the time, I'm happy to help and it makes me happy to help.
So, I still have the thrill of life, the downside are the friends and loved one who get ill. suffer and die becaue my friend group is old. One in particular is at Ochsner in the final stages of pancreatic cancer.

Veron's stuffed pork chops.
Posted by andouille on 9/29/26 at 1:11 pm
Years ago we used t drive to Lafayette just to buy the stuffed pork chops at Veron's. Does anyone know if they still make them, or any other place that has them as good? I have tried Chris', but those are not in the same league as Veron's used to be.
Thanks if you can help.
