Only because I find it uncomfortable. I’m sure it would do a great job, but I just don’t like to have it on to sleep.

Oura ring/knockoffs- Anyone have one?

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.

Need VRBO recommendations for Italy

Posted by LSUlove on 11/4/25 at 7:42 am
Looking to travel to Italy over the Christmas holidays with our family of 5. If we were to book hotels, we would need two separate rooms, so figured it may be more cost effective to book a VRBO/AirBnB/apartment. Wondering if anyone has recommendations for Rome, Florence and Venice. May do a couple of days in London as well so feel free to include if so. Thanks!
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?

Make sure it’s not your capacitor. Changed mine out today because motor wouldn’t start up. $10 part and working fine now.
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 son texted my husband and I from school. He was in philosophy. He and his friends all loved him. Fortunately, their teacher let them discuss for the class period. They were all holding out hope until it was confirmed he had passed.

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.
I just sent you an email.
I’ve seen it at rouses.

This online store carries it too.

I think they discontinued the spicy version though. Haven’t see that in a while.

Looks like all of the free ones are sold out now.

Mind posting or linking the pancake recipe you use?

Looking for a lemon and a lime tree

Posted by LSUlove on 8/4/25 at 1:54 pm
All nurseries in Nola are out and won’t get any in until fall. I’ve looked at ordering online but websites don’t seem to be able to ship to Louisiana. Any suggestions?

Bumping this post because I just started with my first sourdough starter. About 3 days in and it’s looking great. I’d love some tips/tricks, resources, anything really to get me started with my first loaf. Appreciate any advice!
I love my ember mug! I’ve had it going on three and they haveyears now and Ember replaced my first base for free. This one is crapping out on me now too, and I’d love to find a legitimate replacement.

Good point. Corndogs aren't on the menu. This is a play on the "legendary" Shrimp and Tasso Henican.


I think when Chef Chris Lusk was at Cafe Adelaide, he had created these for that menu. So they must feel this is easier to ship with good results than the original Shrimp and Tasso Hennican.

For the person who asked if restaurants ship to Goldbelly, I do believe all restaurants ship directly from their locations. I know when Central Grocery started shipping with GoldBelly, they were sent coolers from Goldbelly to ship their sandwiches in. This was several years ago though.
Thanks for the advice.

Fiberglass requires adding layers of resin and glass matting to build up the fiberglass. Bondo liquid resin and Bondo fiberglass mats would be the best Walmart solution.


This is my next try tomorrow. Filter is only 3 years old and does not get direct sunlight where it is located. The area of the crack gets zero Sun. I’m guessing it was probably defective somehow.

I’ve considered replacing just the bottom part of the housing which holds the crack, but I was quoted half of a new filter. Just don’t want to end up with something not working on the rest in the next year or so and now I’ve pieced and parted it together and have to dish out for a full new one.

It is pressurized but you would still think something would work. Fingers crossed the fiberglass repair kit does the trick. I’ll see if I can grab a photo tonight when I get home.

How to repair crack in pool filter

Posted by LSUlove on 6/8/25 at 6:15 pm
I have a hairline crack in the wall of my pool cartridge filter. I’ve tried to repair it with Flexseal, flextape and JB weld to no avail. I thought for sure the JB weld would work but it wouldn’t adhere to the filter wall. Any suggestions of other fixes? Really don’t want to have to dish out $2k for a new filter.

Does he though?
So first, the wage isn’t posted and to be honest, that would be a bottom of the barrel starting wage.

That being said, I’d love to hear what you think someone sweeping a warehouse, picking up trash, breaking down boxes and pallets and loading and unloading trucks starting pay should be? $20-$30/hr. Yet y'all would be the first to complain that things are too expensive these days.

Literally a job that their only skill is to follow simple directions.
I have a just out of college entry level job posting out right now. Have had 4 applicants, all recent graduates. Tried to set up one interview so far. Was told they could only meet after 5 or on weekend. Suggested today around 4. Confirmed then received an email today saying they had a head cold, could we reschedule. Suggested Monday at 5:30 and they have a non-committal response so I suggested they set a time. They suggested Tuesday. We will see if they show up.

Another position I have open I set up 6 interviews last week and not one showed up. This was a $13/hr job so very little skill set required, but not one arrived. This was after confirming time and receiving response from all. I mean, if you aren’t going to show, just don’t set the interview.

It’s definitely the generation.
