re: How did Japan Mess It Up So Bad?
Posted by Ben Hur on 7/6/26 at 8:44 am to RanchoLaPuerto
Japan’s low birth rates the last few decades have the young population supporting a disproportionate aging population.
Combine that with their strict immigration laws, which have prevented the flow of young workers to help make up for the lost generation.
(Not saying a flood of illegal immigrants would help. I’m talking about legal, vetted, educated immigration to fill in the gaps in the work force)

No, but it’s the first time since 1953.

Polo
Yep, I went to a match and learned you need a minimum of 4-5 horses to play. And the horses must be polo trained ($20K+ per horse). So it's $100K+ to get on the field.
Got a friend who’s kid has been into kart racing since he was 6 and is now 16 getting into real car racing now.
They are wealthy, but it’s very expensive even for them. Almost constant travel, and they have to tow the trailer with the kart/cars plus they have a mechanic that travels with them.

Rayne with all their frog statues
Know of one that had this situation:
-house paint colors must be submitted and approved
-Homeowner submits his color and is approved
-Once painted, the HOA receives complaints about the new color
-They notify the owner he must now change the color
-Owner refuses and begins receiving fines and threats of liens
-Owner then sues the HOA
-Lawsuit settled with him having to repaint the house at the HOA’s expense
-The HOA then notifies all owners of the new assessment from the legal fees and re-painting of the guys home
-Homeowners were rightfully pissed, and a fight nearly broke out at one of their meetings. :lol:

Why was he shot?

METAIRIE, LA (WVUE) - Jefferson Parish Sheriff Joe Lopinto said two Metairie neighbors, 78-year-old Wayne Higgins and 54-year-old Lee Martin, owner of Big Lee's Towing, had been feuding for years over anything and everything. That feud ended Saturday when Higgins shot and killed Martin.
FOX 8 viewed the police reports for all previous incidents involving Martin. According to police records, deputies responded to Martin's Bonnabel Boulevard home many times over the years for different reasons, and they investigated eight complaints over a 10-year period. One of the police reports involved Martin's neighbor, but it's unclear if that neighbor was Higgins. The Sheriff's Office did confirm that they responded to a complaint call in March of this year that involved Higgins and Martin. Saturday morning, deputies said Martin was watering his plants when he sprayed water on Higgins' truck, and then sprayed inside the vehicle when Higgins rolled down his window. That's when deputies said Higgins got out of his truck and shot and killed Martin.

Why did someone make reference to him being a pedo? Was he, or is that just bullshite?
I don’t remember anything about a pedo claim, but he was a documented creep.
quote:
Two months later, a woman Martin hired to do paperwork at his towing office alleged he walked up behind her and began to fondle and grab at her breasts. The woman also told police Martin threw her on a bed in the back of the office and had sex with her.
No charges were ever filed in the case after Martin provided investigators with a video they said cast doubt on the rape claim.
Records also indicate Martin was arrested on a simple battery charge in November 2015.
quote:LINK
June 2016, a woman whose vehicle Martin towed told police Martin picked her up in his truck and told her he needed to go to his home, with its lawn decorated in purple-and-gold LSU paraphernalia, to get his phone before going to the tow lot to get her car. The woman told police Martin made her feel uncomfortable after he asked her twice to go inside with him for a drink.
While no charges were ever filed, the woman said she wanted to report the incident because she claims that if she chose to go inside Martin’s home, she might have been the victim of some type of assault

I've stayed at Don Cesar several times. They have servers at your beach chairs all day, so it's relaxing. It's not a loud party scene at all. The only music I heard there was someone playing acoustic guitar covers by the pool. Can confirm it has great views, of course :cheers:

re: My 6 year old daughter wants a rabbit for a pet.
Posted by Ben Hur on 4/19/26 at 10:08 pm to boosiebadazz
Dogs are the best pets, but I would recommend a bearded dragon over a rabbit if dogs are not an option. Much lower maintenance than a rabbit.
My friend had a rabbit, and one day his internet wasn’t working. He discovered the rabbit had chewed through the modems power cord. He got rid of it that week :lol:

If you qualify from military service or immediate family service: Navy Federal Credit Union offers a HELOC with zero closing costs.
It will take ~90 days to close though.

Those parents need to go through all of their daughter’s texts/social media messages, because it’s more likely their actual plan is to meet one or more guys they are messaging with.
Teenagers aren’t driving 8+ hours to simply hike. There’s a hidden agenda.

Can anyone point out exactly where the prestigious "River Oaks" neighborhood is in New Orleans?

The trick with those is to stir it up, but then place the jar back in the pantry upside down. Next time you grab it the oil will be at the bottom.
New Orleans/northshore missing out on the location of Disney World.
The legend is that local politicians wanted bribes, and Walt then eliminated it as a potential location.
Another explanation is that they did not like the exposure to hurricanes, and saw the area still recovering from Betsy in ‘65.
Either way, it was clear that Walt loved Louisiana when he built a New Orleans square in Disneyland.
