re: Federal Judge has had about enough of the Archdiocese of NOLA bankruptcy case

Posted by Geauxld Finger on 4/29/25 at 11:54 am

The institution pays for the crimes that their people perpetrated over the years in which years of administration worked to cover up.

So yes, they need to pay up. Also there can be settlements without completely bankrupting the entire system

re: Will New Orleans ever have a White and middle class plurality again?

You can call it what you want to call it. Nola will never have a white or black middle class really without jobs and appealing circumstances to raise families.

It helps to have several Fortune 500 companies based there. Delta, Coke, Home Depot, UPS, Southern Company, Aflac, Assurant, Norfolk Southern, and Newell Brands.

There are several more I can’t even think of. They probably have 20-30 Fortune 500 companies based there.

This bring jobs. Both high dollar and middle class dollar.

Nola has nothing close to that. They have Entergy that’s it.

No businesses want to come here. Lack of infrastructure. Poor schools. High cost of living thanks to insurance rates for auto and home. Plus dealing with seasonal storms, flooding, and an overall poor geographical climate.

I haven’t even touched the poor leadership from a political standpoint.

re: Interesting to hear Ben Mac talking about how involved Skip Bertman is with the program.

Jay and skip get along very well. Jay welcomes any input skip has on his teams. Skip isn’t directing him on what to do he’s merely offering perspective and advice. Always good to see things from different angles.

re: MAJOR issues with relief pitchers.

Posted by Geauxld Finger on 4/23/25 at 2:58 pm

The game has gotten out of control over obsession with velocity. More influence and effort needs to be placed on mechanics and location/control than anything.

Cowan can wreck shite with a decent fastball and a plus chamgeup.

Guys like Rizy and Mavers have all the velo capability in the world but I watched them get up 0-2 in the count and then throw 4 pitches not even close to the strike zone. Hell Mavers threw one completely over the catcher. That’s quite a feat to miss that badly.

Yeskie has to find a way to get these guys to get their shite together. At one point I thought our staff was the deepest in the nation. Right now, we have maybe 5 reliable arms

Cajun Cleaver usually has some sandwiches you can order. Check their social media. It’s pretty up to date.

Cajun Cleaver

Biscuit Belly in Hoover is a good
Breakfast spot
Flying Biscuit in Vestavia/Mountain Brook is good
Maple Street Biscuit Company
Slice Pizza & Brew in Vestavia

Remember, it’s not about your claims, you’re paying for everyone else’s as well. That’s in your state and across the companies network

re: The price of snowballs is too damn high!

Posted by Geauxld Finger on 4/18/25 at 5:14 pm

I would agree. The stand we go to has jumped the cost of condensed milk to $1 up from .50

Now I just add the shite when I get home. Seems Cheap but it saves $4 dollars a trip.

It shouldn’t cost over $20 for 4 snowballs

Neal is very below average defensively

Also he isn’t that great offensively. He has some pop but he’s far from spectacular. If he could hit, he’d still be here

re: Name something you pay for as an adult that your parents would never have

Posted by Geauxld Finger on 4/16/25 at 1:11 pm

Ironically I pay for far less services than what my parents paid for.

Maybe summer camp for kids is about the only thing.

I do my own yard work
Some DIY home repairs
Housecleaning
Some light auto maintenance

My parents would have paid for all of those things without a second thought

Have purchased many from Wayfair. It’s the way to go. Joss & Main and your PB and RH are vastly overpriced.

You can typically find one you like on an expensive retailer site and search it for comparable models on wayfair and other sites
