Tamales, I love them, but sure is a lot of work, I need to find someplace in BR that has Delta-style tamales.

Crawfish bisque with stuffed heads. Tradition be damned, I make boulettes and add to the bisque. Easier to eat and everybody really loves it that way.

With several exemptions, I like my veggies cooked simply, steamed broccoli, steamed asparagus, a quick stir-fry of leafy greens, please don't overcook.

I love eating alone, I like to read or watch TV, things my wife takes issue with. Wife is also a health nut, so I can eat red meat, use salt, make it as spicy as I want without an eye roll or a lecture.

we're baptists. so yes. I'd be mad at myself for going to Hooters.

Have you ever been to Hooters? They do serve alcohol, the servers are not especially enticing, on any given Sunday, your Bible study has hotter women.

Thou may go to Hooters and sin no more, but the wings aren't as good as they used to be.

I guess I'm a boomer at 76, but being in IT, I love change and new technology. I spend a lot of time helping other boomers with tech issues, their PC's, phones, TV's, streaming, it's alarming how little many of them can absorb.

I remember in the early 90's trying to teach the miracle of Lotus 1-2-3 (spreadsheets) to accounting people, it was a difficult concept to grasp.

Just in time to attempt to discourage voters from voting in favor for a new school district. How coincidental.

Actually, it is a coincidence, but if you want to believe that a post on TD will affect the results of the election, go ahead. I had no idea I had that kind of influence.

I greatly support the new school district, and I will be voting for it. I am happy STG is a reality, and have hopes that it will do great things for its citizens. My point was that time may undo our progress.

I hope she gets a good job, if my server in a restaurant has facial piercing, either we go someplace else, or low tip. I'm sure some dartface will make up the difference.

Get off my lawn.

I used to do a payroll for a drilling company, the employee base was about 400 and almost all Cajuns. About 80% of the names were A-L, Aucoin, Alleman to Lasseigne, Ledet and Leblanc.

Also the City-Parish Government is a huge conflict of interest and needs to be shite canned ASAP.

Coach Sid as mayor might be the only chance to get this done.

Getting onto more local matters, I'm in STG, but I'm beginning to think that this whole thing was a waste of time. Yes, we have some solid, smart, honest people at the helm, and I appreciate their service to the community, but in a very few years, this will likely be all undone.

When I take a ride down Coursey Blvd., I see the future of STG, and it will likely become a "Blue" city by 2040. We all know what happens when a city turns Blue, and it's not good.

I'm pretty old, so I likely won't see it happen, or a new bridge, but demographics is destiny. BR is now poorer, I expect conditions to deteriorate there, Hillar Moore doesn't have money to run a decent office, the PD will decline in numbers, street maintenance is looking more like New Orleans every day.

THe law abiding people in BR will want to escape, many of them will come to STG, unfortunately, they will vote the same way they were taught.

I hope I'm wrong.

Dogs are proof there are angels on Earth

I have a Dewalt electric washer with about the same specs, it doesn't have the arse to do large areas like a driveway, I have a bell sprayer the resembles that also, it cuts the output of the sprayer in half.

If I may make a suggestion, keep the electric for small jobs, cleaning lawn chairs, grills, flower pots, etc.. The get a gasoline powered, I like Westinghouse or Simpson $300-$500, for big jobs, decks, driveways, sidewalks.

Caution: Never let a pressure washer near double pane windows.
