Whatever it takes. I can't continue spending $70,000 a year in taxes.
Don’t even mention Helmet Head over on the OT lounge.
There’s a company out there that makes a stump remover for a front end loader. If you have a lot of 6 inchers that have been dead a while I bet it would get most of them

re: Air BNB vs VRBO

My camp south of Bogalusa has been on Airbnb since Ida hit. I know what you’re all thinking, who tf is gonna stay there? Airbnb is very simple. Never used vrbo.
I would love to know what he wanted to hear at Mary Landreus office. He got busted bugging it years ago and I thought “of the 535 elected members of congress, what was he looking at her for”? He had something and we will never know what it was.

Give parish governments the option of ending the property tax on business inventory.


How many times do we have to vote against this? A few years ago La voters soundly rejected the removal of taxes on equipment stored in La before it went offshore. It really doesn't matter whether I agree with that or not, the voters said no. The part of this I don't like is the parish electing to forego the taxes will trigger State govt to pay the taxes. So the business gets out of paying, then I have to pay. Screw that.

Rand Paul has always preached the same message about limited government. Saying that the executive branch should not be able to unilaterally levy taxes is consistent with that.


I can see where that’s a legitimate stance and welcome the debate. But like someone said at the cabinet meeting today, this admin just makes a decision instead of doing a study. The debate can carry on with live data available.

It ain’t a partnership if you can just say we ain’t doing it over here or over there. Now, if you want us to agree to an area to dig, you tell me where we can dig before I sign. Not after.

That story was pretty common for a significant amount of veterans. PTSD, alcohol dependency and drug abuse. The war affected veteran's families by proxy. And still does, as our Vietnam war vets are aging and still dealing with the turmoil.

The one thing that's going to unite blacks and whites in America is immigration, and I hope we soon add taxation and government spending as a shared grievance.

I've noticed an increase in people going to work merely to exist and "cover their arse". They would rather do nothing than do what they think is right based on their experience and risk making a decision that can be misconstrued as wrong.

There really are two classes of people in Bogalusa. Those that work at the mill, which is a specific group of families, and those that never had a chance to work at the mill. Obviously no other businesses want to come there due to the smell. The schools are nothing more than a jobs program for one person's family and everybody else gets what's left. That's how you end up with poor people like this. They never had a chance.

It ain't me.

My parents did it. Bathe at night, open the windows and turn on the attic fan, then sleep on top of the covers. You get used to it I suppose.


I’m 44 and I did this in my youth.
Did it today for an internal job posting on workday. Workday shows you the exact address of the team for the job opening. This particular job was in 2 grand central station building in NYC. I just imagined myself living in NYC for a little while. I figure that would be a neat experience for about 6 months.

Donald Trump Jr is the right guy to tweet back at this with a “so shithole countries?”
I moved to a neat little neighborhood in Franklinton and I have to drive across town to the barbershop for my diversity. It's next to a little mom and pop grocery. The barbershop across the street has horseshoes and they have a karaoke machine with someone calling the game on it. I knew immediately I was going to fit in with the black folk in Franklinton better than the whiteys.
Have you ever met a coonass? They're one boat ride removed from being a liberal Canadian right now.
