We stayed at Wildflower resort and loved it!

Thank you. Bermuda it is. Yes, our pool gets a lot of sun.

Agree, I'd love to know. I think it became over run with weeds and my husband did some kind of treatment in the fall which killed pretty much everything. After, there was very little St. Aug left.

Hoping to take better care of it this time around.

Is Bermuda sod readily available in the New Orleans area?

I have a pool in my back yard that takes up a large percentage of the space. I have roughly a 5 ft patch of grass that runs along 3 sides. When we initially put the pool in, we sodded with St. Aug grass about 5 years ago and just left it alone. Well, this winter, it looks like we have no grass yet. Our front yard is St. Aug and while brown, it is thick. The back yard is nothing but dirt.

So I figured, now may be a good time to replace the grass. I'd rather not use St. Aug again and I'd really prefer something seeded if possible. Any suggestions? Low maintenance would be a plus. I'd put turf, but we have dogs.

Thanks for this info! I also just recently finished writing a young readers novel. Have you published any other way as well? Are you in any bookstores? Did you order hard copies for yourself directly from Amazon to have on hand? Do they hold any claim over your novel if you publish with them initially?

watched her make a gumbo once by adding the uncooked/unbrowned chicken and sausage to the stock...who the frick does that?

In that area, this is actually really common. I'm from around that area and that's how my grandparents made their gumbo, how my dad makes his gumbo and how I make my gumbo. Season the raw chicken really well and after you have your dark roux and trinity in the pot, put the water in and then your chicken and fresh sausage.

Guess I can see how it is weird, but its the way we have always done it.

Tickets were insane. $700+ for 5 people was a little ridiculous.

Would love brewery recs as well. Hubby would definitely appreciate that!

Staying downtown so hopefully that will be convenient.

We did Ireland in like three days because we were going there to visit someone before heading to Paris. While I know we didn't come close to hitting everything, I felt that we saw a good bit in that short amount of time and probably don't need to go back until I'm much older and can take my time.

That being said, we landed in Dublin and spent the night. Woke up, visited our friend for a bit and headed out to Kilkenny. We rented a car and had no trouble driving. It was an automatic. Had lunch in Kilkenny and visited the castle then drove to Rock of Cashel. Stopped for a bit there then off to Limerick. Stayed at the Savoy which we loved.

Next morning drove to Bunratty Castle then on to the Cliffs of Mohr. Had lunch in Doolin and then drove to Galway. Visited the Christmas markets and walked around for quite a bit and had dinner.

Then drove back to Dublin that evening because we had a mid morning flight and I was worried about possibly running into traffic if we tried to make the drive in the morning.

Very quick trip as Paris was our main destination and I know we missed a bunch, but the kids had a great time and were exposed to a new country. Plus I'm very happy we went as our friend passed less than a year after our visit.

Get the car, its really not that difficult.

Curious about getting one of these. Would probably go with the cheaper version that you don’t need to subscribe to the app monthly, but was wondering if anyone had suggestions. Would love to track my sleep cycle and I can’t sleep with my Apple Watch. Some are as low as $30 and reviews seem fine, but would love first hand experiences.

Did any of you watch both videos? After seeing the video evidence from the gas station and then listening to the 18 wheeler driver speak, anything he has said needs to be thrown out. I’m not sure he saw the accident. He tried to say that the charger slipped through prior to the accident happening.

I agree that Lacey should not have been driving like he was, but the gold truck driver was clear that he didn’t slam on his breaks. That the lady behind him caused the accident. All of those other eye witnesses are irrelevant. She was traveling too close. He wasn’t at the scene when the trooper arrived to be interviewed so the trooper was led down the wrong path by these other witnesses. Let’s say the gold truck was slowing down to turn off the road, lady would have slammed on her breaks anyway because she was traveling too fast and too close, not paying attention. She probably jumped at the first thing that she could think of to deflect blame from herself.

After the video evidence came out, I can’t see how these charges weren’t just completely dropped.

And those saying he fled the scene, my understanding is he had a football workout to make. Chances are he didn’t want to be late and as he wasn’t involved in the accident and they had other eye witnesses, why would he stay?

Yeah, immediately I came into TD and sent him a screenshot of Glen Beck’s post saying he was stable. My poor son texted back saying “so he is still alive!”

Then I watched the video and thought there is no way he survives that. Awful.

My 16 yr old texted me from school asking if I saw what happened. He and practically all of his friends all have tributes up on their social media about Charlie right now. He was also their generation’s Rush. I think that many of this younger generation will remember this for years to come.

It would be one thing if he had passed due to natural causes or an accident. This being such a horrific assassination just steadfast their belief in what he was saying.
