I'm OK playing down to mid 30s if I'm walking and there is sun and/or no wind. If it's cloudy and windy, I'm out.

What's the closest thing to a place to meet people in or around Baton Rouge?
Happy's Running Club (Tuesday nights at 6:15 downtown)
Mango's Beach Volleyball (closed for the winter, but will pick up again in the spring)
Court to Table (pickleball)
That said, I met my girlfriend on Match. Turns out we had crossed paths many years ago and have many mutual friends. Before then, I found it incredibly easy to find people on Facebook Dating. Pretty easy to vet people when you have mutual friends, and BR is a very small big city.

Probably the unspoken worst part about quitting drinking is finding out all your "friends" were really just "drinking buddies".
Boy, isn't this the truth. Most of my "friends" have stopped reaching out to me to do things since I don't drink anymore.
I'm 8 weeks without alcohol now. It was time. I drank nearly every day, but it could range from a single beer to almost a fifth of bourbon.
Here's what I've noticed:
- I'm not tired any more. I'm awake and alert all day long and don't have this feeling of being sleepy or tired during the day.
- I've lost weight. Not only am I losing weight since I'm not drinking those empty calories, but I'm also making better food choices.
- My skin is clearer. My face isn't as puffy. My girlfriend keeps commenting that I look healthier.
- No more hangovers. Even though I thought I wasn't hungover, I was a little hungover. It feels good to not have something holding me back.
Looking back, alcohol definitely played a part in the way my marriage ended. It wasn't everything, but it certainly made things worse/harder. And I was about to lose the best relationship I've ever had due to alcohol. My kids (both grown, no pics) are happy about it and wish I had quit sooner. So do I.
Do I miss alcohol? Yes and no. I don't miss the effects, but I do miss the taste of a good Old Fashioned or hoppy double IPA. I miss that more than I do the buzz. But I know that I can't go back. Ever. Could I have a drink and be OK? Yes. But I never know when that drink will turn into 10 drinks, and I can't ever go back to being that person. So that means I will always need to be at 0 drinks.

Not a single bit, which is why I drink these now instead of alcohol.

I used to buy the 100mg lemonade bottles for $17 at Rouses. Now they can only sell 5mg lemonade bottles. Guess how much they are at Rouses? $17.
But you can order online and have the 100mg ones delivered. Bought several and it's nice since you can just put the cap back on the bottle unlike the cans that are open for good once you pop the top. Nice to mix a quarter of the bottle with some Topo Chico or something similar.
It was 10:45 before I was finally able to get in and check out.
I like them, but this is a valid point. All their songs are starting to sound the same.

Beware of the black can one. 50mg in those, and they will knock you on your arse.
Would be nice if they made something in between 10mg and 50mg.

re: Congress won’t let us have nuth’N. Starting in 2026 say goodbye to most THC products.

Now the limit will be 0.4 grams per product. Just eat more gummies. Instead of a donut you will eat 10 donut holes.
So, instead of a 20mg gummy, I should eat 50 0.4mg gummies? Gotcha.
I've watched as Louisiana has restricted the amount over the past year, yet the prices have not dropped along with the THC content. I used to buy a 100mg bottle of lemonade for $17 that would last me a long time. Now, that same bottle of lemonade still costs $17, but only has 5mg.
Yet I can go buy a bottle of Everclear or 135 proof bourbon with nobody batting an eye at any grocery store.
I am an alcoholic. I've given up alcohol and intend to never drink it again. These THC gummies and drinks have been good for this non-smoker. I don't "need" it per se, but it sure has been nice to unwind and relax with no damage to my liver or hangovers the next day.

Salmon on the traeger is one of my favorite things to cook these days. Albertsons has it on sale for $6-7/lb often and one slab feeds the wife & I several times. Cook to 145 and it’s $$.

145?!?! Holy moly. I don't let mine get above 125.
re: Do you find yourself getting more emotional as you age?
Posted by BMoney on 11/12/25 at 9:01 am to Master of Sinanju
Short answer: yes.
Long answer: went through a divorce this year, my kids are grown, and I realized that there are fewer years in front of me than there are behind me. It's changed my perspective quite a bit, and I do find myself getting more emotional and introspective about life and the things that are important.

It really isn't right. And I think it's striking a chord with a lot of people and hopefully the uproar will continue.
And not one mainstream media outlet has picked up on it. That's on purpose. Because they sell a lot of ads to the alcohol industry.

horseshite. Not long ago you could get 20mg THC drinks, now you can only buy 5mg. Sounds like regulation to me friend.
Thanks Jeff Landry.

Pretty much the same here, but I usually go half EVOO and half vegetable oil. I also add 1/4 cup white vinegar as well as some freshly cracked salt and black pepper.

That’s what’s interesting about it. The current laws right now are offering people a way to purchase THC products online through 3rd party tested company. Which is great for people like me who was losing his life to alcohol. But if they change it up, I would have to get some medical card to get the real stuff. But I don’t want to do that because I’m not in pain nor do I want want to have to go through all the hoops just to overpay for something that I could grow myself. Then the other options are go down to the corner store and pick up some Kratom or other crap or worst of all for me, a case of beer.
This. The gummies and drinks have been a game changer for me. Alcohol is not a good thing for me in any way. I've also been able to get off the anxiety medication as well, and my sleep has been fantastic. I have zero desire to smoke anything. I just want to be able to enjoy my gummy that showed up in my mailbox or have a drink with zero alcohol in it in peace and not have the damn government tell me what I can and can't do.
Luckett Farms does one.
Alternatively, go check out the Red Stick Farmers Market. There are several chances every week. Thursday from 8 til noon at Pennington and Saturday from 8 til noon at the Main Street Market downtown. These are all local farmers who offer up produce, as well as meat, seafood and other goods.
