heard it’s possible to have shingles twice?

My wife got shingles twice. First time was about 15 yrs ago down her arm along the C5-6 dermatome (nerve path). Second time was this year in her eye. Very painful. Luckily, she made a full recovery with no residual visual loss. She is now vaccinated.

ETA: I plan to get the 2 vaccine shots this year.

With LSU now moving down to D 2, what does our recruiting look like …

That’s it. I’m flipping over to Paw Patrol re-runs.
Yes he is, but lives in a nursing home. Had some serious health setbacks, but he is stable, last I heard.

Before St Michael’s, he was here at St Edmund’s. He married us and baptized our children. I miss that man.

that almost makes you a "floaton", with the -on being expressed the French way.

Per Fr. Gary Schexnayder, that means you float around to different churches :lol:

We do this too :cheers:

I probably spent 400k putting my kids through Catholic school.

Put 3 kids through Fatima and STM. K-12, so 13 yrs each.
I tabulated a little over 250k spent. Well worth it, in my opinion.
My dad wanted to know why my house wasn't paid off yet. He understood when I showed him those numbers :lol:
I guess that’s how you get over, when you live in a Communist country.

This minute by minute Kiffin tracking is hilarious. Like NORAD tracking Santa Claus on Christmas Eve.

Viva La waffle was such a terrible idea

But at every food truck roundup, they had the longest line of people by far. Agree that the brick and mortar restaurant was a flop.

No decent, legitimate bar or restaurant is shorting the alcohol in drinks. That kind of thing spreads fast and the business loss is immediate.

I guarantee you're still getting the same 1.5 or 2 ounces depending on the drink you got with the smaller ice cubes.

Probably true, for the most part. I do notice that at some restaurants, I order an Old Fashion, and it lasts me 10-15 minutes. At other places, that 1 drink might last throughout my meal. :dunno:
Not sure about the glass size, but the big fancy ice cube or ice ball keeps getting bigger and bigger, filling up the glass and shorting you of your well-deserved alcohol purchase.

Not just the best gym in Baton Rouge but arguably the entire Gulf coast.

Yes, a very good family owned club well-integrated into the community, as I recall it back in the early 90s. A club you want to be a part of for life. Not quite as good as Reds in Lafayette, but still very good.

Didn't know they were closed ....or is this misinformation.........

Late 80s

My era as well. Never knew this little place existed. I appreciate the nostalgia.

Hard to imagine that there was no such thing as bottled water as recently as then. You could only buy soft drinks.

I didn’t expect much at all, but TJ was featured on something like 60 Minutes several years ago, and they bragged about that particular wine. I gave it a shot and, yep, it didn’t even live up to 2-3 dollar hype.

The only thing I’ve ever had from TJs is the red wine known as Two Buck Chuck. Overhyped for its quality at its price point.

It actually costs 3 bucks, and isn’t worth a buck fifty.
