re: The "What did you do last week" email has already been sent
Posted by couyon2 on 2/22/25 at 9:35 pm
This email is equivalent to the CEO of chevron asking the janitor at the gas station in Bunkie to write his accomplishments to prove his worth. He has no clue what the job description is much less what he does.
re: Post here if you have ever been laid off from a job
Posted by couyon2 on 2/16/25 at 3:04 pm
I’m not saying that feds shouldn’t be exempt from lay offs but the protections are in place to keep layoffs from becoming politically motivated. When you get lead scientists and attorneys whose jobs become politically motivated thats when we have larger problems at hand.
Custom crawfish baskets
Posted by couyon2 on 11/30/24 at 9:18 pm
Anyone know where I can get a custom crawfish basket made for a boil pot. I have a family heirloom pot (probably a stew pot from WWII) and the basket is made from stainless mesh and wire and it’s on its last leg.
I’ve checked online restaurant supply houses with no luck. Basket dimensions would need to be 13h X 19w roughly.
TIA!

re: at what point do you see a doctor for a sinus infection?

I did this and it led to sinus surgery. Now I’m a daily Claritin user. Helps me tremendously
re: DO NOT BUY Cub Cadet
Posted by couyon2 on 8/17/24 at 2:11 pm
I have a cub cadet push mower with a 2007 serial number my dad gave me. Went underwater in 2012 during Issac, drained it and started right up. Sat up in storage for three years with old gas. Little starting fluid and started right up. Only time oil was changed was after it flooded. I can’t kill the thing

Had mine do this recently. Ended up being the end of life chirp. Change them ALL. I changed one and then a few months later another one would do it then another one.
Best Dishwashers
Posted by couyon2 on 4/29/24 at 7:50 am
The time has come. My 16 year old Kitchenaid dishwasher finally bit the dust. Stopped running and then the entire house started to smell like plastic.
Not opposed to Bosh but i hear that they dont dry well. Any suggestions for a mid-tier dishwasher that wont break the bank.
TIA

Have them do an act of donation, much cheaper (if any) tax-wise.
re: Exercising while on a beta blocker

I’m on nadolol and noticed my heart rate stays in the 130s- 140s during cardio with the occasional peak to 150. When I hit 150 I need to slow down. Just listen to your body and monitor your breathing and you should be good. I also have a pacemaker so that might have something to do with it as well.
re: Nasal polyps surgery
Posted by couyon2 on 2/10/24 at 11:06 pm
Had sinus and septum surgery about a year ago and they removed a load of polyps. I can breathe for the first time in years. First two weeks I had some pretty nasty drainage that was consistent. Took about 6-8 weeks to stop seeing dried blood. Use the rinse they give you several times a day and you’ll be golden. Felt fine the second day after the procedure regarding pain
re: Is diabetes in cats a death sentence if untreated for a little while?
Posted by couyon2 on 1/23/24 at 8:07 am
I have a cat that was near 18lbs doing the same stuff...vet considered him obese and diabetic....I wasn't about to pay for bloodwork for something my wife found in a parking lot. We put him on a crash diet for several months, lost about 8lbs. He still pees more than what I think he should but its not on our stuff like it was. Granted he is 13 years old but is considerably better. Just my 2 cents.
re: What is the current best way to sell a crappy used car?
Posted by couyon2 on 1/20/24 at 2:45 pm
Just sold a 2010 truck on FB market place with 303k miles for blue book value. Just make sure you vet the potential buyer well through internet searches and FB before you get yourself into something stupid.
re: New brake pads grinding.
Posted by couyon2 on 1/3/24 at 10:43 am
happened on wifes car recently. Evetime you would depress the brake after a redlight or if the car was in park it would grind and release a few seconds later. The parking brake apparently needed a fine adjustment.

Had sinus surgery in March. My doctor still recommends using the sinus rinse bottle atleast every other day. Helps keep allergens out and keeps things open.
Boiling Basket Replacement
Posted by couyon2 on 12/1/23 at 3:15 pm
Didn’t know if to post here or the OB board, but figured you could guide me to the right place. I have an old (assuming World War II) aluminum stockpot that I boil crawfish in that inherited from my wife’s great grandfather. The basket I use for the boil is homemade and is on its last leg. I believe it is an 80 to 100 quart pot but cannot seem to find a right sized replacement basket. Any suggestions on where I could order one that fits properly? Approximate size needed would be 18” diameter x 13” tall. Inside dimensions of the pot is 19.75” x 14”
re: Balance Transfer for CC
Posted by couyon2 on 11/16/23 at 12:28 pm
That is the plan, most of the CC debt is revolving from a few years ago when i was in between jobs. I pay off purchases as I make them but its the interest thats killing me.
re: Balance Transfer for CC
Posted by couyon2 on 11/15/23 at 3:18 pm
Probably a little more than the min payment on the CapOne card. If i didnt have interest I could knock a HUGE chunk back.
re: Balance Transfer for CC
Posted by couyon2 on 11/15/23 at 3:12 pm
Balance is around $12k. I could knock a good bet back with savings but i will need a downpayment for a new vehicle in the next few months.
re: Balance Transfer for CC
Posted by couyon2 on 11/15/23 at 3:07 pm
Is this a bad idea or should i just stick with the minimum payments murdering me?
Balance Transfer for CC
Posted by couyon2 on 11/15/23 at 3:03 pm
I have a CapitalOne CC where the interest/minimum payment is eating me alive and I would rather not tap into savings to pay it off (emergency fund). Is there a good CC out there for 0%APR balance transfers for the first xx months? Looking combine about $12k. TIA!
