She's 90


Not quite.

Think she's 84ish.

The quality of student has certainly diminished over the years. You could attribute that to the lack of LSU fighting to keep its best and brightest in state.


This has been going on for a long time.

My nephew applied to many schools 20+ years ago. Only got TOPS offer from LSU. Got offered full academic scholarship from FU. And yes, as lifelong LSU fans, we hated him going there.

Where would you go/what would you do?
2026 isn't being kind to Hollywood.
I once flew into FLL for a Port Canaveral cruise because the round trip flight was $78. Rental car was cheap and had good mileage.

Orlando flights aren't cheap.
Orlando Airport to Port Canaveral cruise port.

Don't remember cost.

I've even wondered if we may be seeing a big increase in people who are being diagnosed for some reason? Are more people getting it, or are we better at diagnosing it? I don't know.


Eric Dane's interview with GMA where he announced that he had ALS was somewhat informative. He brought a doctor with him and she addressed increase in diagnosis and other things.

You so don't know me. Maybe you need to find someone on this site that has met me in person

Sounds like you're trying to be the internet tough boy.

However, watch me when someone's dog gives me unwanted attention and slobbers all over me. People need to control their animals. Restaurants and bars aren't the place for animals

If the dog had licked me, that would be the last thing he and his owner did inside the bar.
Show up at court and talk to the DA.

Usually will change to non moving violation.

If he goes to court and cop is a no show, it will be dropped.
If you're clean when you dry off then it is clean enough to reuse. If it starts to smell from drip drying over and over, time to use another one.

High school graduation


Mine was there in 1979, as was pretty much every NO area Catholic school.

Don't know if public schools were held there.
Morning Butch.

How was your ride?

My grandfather had Parkinson's and was bedridden. He died when I was 5.5.

Fast forward to the 2000s and my mother developed shaky hands and she was DXd with Parkinson's but it never got bad enough to slow her down.

i assume it's hereditary and need to watch for symptoms as I navigate senior citizenship.

Just watched Brilliant Minds, Season 2, Episode 9, where Eric Dane plays a firefighter with ALS. The story had to be exactly what he was going through.

Originally aired in November 2025. Hard to believe he is dead 3 months later.

He went down really quickly


A former roommate of mine is married to a guy who has had ALS for 10+ years and is nonverbal and bedridden/immobile. He has to be 10 years older than Eric Dane.

I think I would choose dying quickly if I had a choice.

Parents had always purchased Kenmore. Sears brand and still available. Google them. Still have theirs and they had a long time prior to their deaths 6 years ago.

I won't ever buy Samsung, GE or LG washer/dryer.

For refrigerators. Whirlpool or Frigidaire.

In fact, won't buy any GE appliances.
