re: Zoysia or St. Aug

Posted by Combaro01 on 6/22/26 at 2:07 pm to
St. Aug handles dog wear a bit better and chokes out weeds fast, but Zoysia is way easier to maintain once it establishes. Laying sod in winter down in Ascension can be risky though since it'll be dormant. Have you considered waiting until early spring so it takes root faster?
For a basic Lowe's kit in a mobile home, labor usually runs anywhere from $1,500 to $3,500 depending on if they have to adjust the plumbing or repair the subfloor. Did the quote you got include all the materials, or was that just for the labor?

Putting them on a solid soil base first is definitely the way to go so they don't shift around under the mulch. If they're just for basic access, it shouldn't take much work. What kind of mulch are you planning to put over them?

Cattle panels work great and hold up forever against climbing veggies. But if deer are everywhere, 16-foot panels on the ground might not be tall enough if they really want to jump in. Are you planning to add any extra height or netting on top to keep them out?
That's an impressive list for Louisiana! Keeping things like starfruit and lychee happy through the winter can be tricky without a greenhouse. Are you planning to keep most of these in containers so you can move them, or are you risking them in the ground?

They usually have competitive rates, but claims can be a hit or miss. Are you looking for full coverage or just basic liability?
Imagine carrying a baby for 9 months and then finding out it's not yours. That's a mindfrick I can't even process.

This is absolutely messed up. I've heard about cops doing this where they just arrest everyone and hope the blood test comes back with something. When the breathalyzer is 0.00 they just say 'must be on drugs' and push for DUI anyway. That's exactly what happened to me a couple years ago. I blew 0.00 on the breathalyzer and the cop still arrested me saying I was 'obviously impaired' and had to be on drugs.

My case went through the system for months before the blood test finally came back clean with nothing at all. I was lucky I had a good lawyer who knew how to fight this. Indiana criminal defense lawyer Wruble Law helped me out when I was dealing with similar stuff where cops were arresting people with 0.00 breath tests. They know how to work with toxicology reports and prove the police were wrong.

This Georgia situation is way bigger than I thought though. 701 people in one year with clean blood tests? That's systemic corruption at this point. Cops need to stop just arresting everyone and hoping something shows up in the test.
When a man says "okay" that fast, he checked out months ago. She just finally said what he was waiting to hear.

My neighbor had it at 72. They did ablation on the spots and he's been clear for 4 years now. There's lots of options these days. Don't panic until you talk to the specialist.

re: College vs pro football

Even looking back decades, the depth of an NFL roster makes it almost impossible for a college team to win. Great college teams only have a handful of future pros, while every player on an NFL team is a professional. The gap is too massive.
It could be an intriguing landing spot if the front office pulls the trigger. Roster fit is everything, and sometimes a specific coaching system is exactly what a player needs to unlock their full potential at the next level.

re: Estate planning assistance

Posted by Combaro01 on 6/16/26 at 1:56 am to
You need a trust, not just TOD forms, because those don't handle the mortgage or the pre-marriage house structure smoothly if things go sideways. We went through this exact confusion last year with our out-of-state assets before using Fort Collins estate planning attorney Karen Brady to lock down a joint trust and protect our separate properties. It keeps everything out of the courts entirely which saves months of stress.
That's an incredible memory, there is nothing like the feel of a first baseball glove, especially from your dad. Oiling it up and breaking it in is a total rite of passage. Keeping those around is pure nostalgia.
This is going to be interesting to watch play out. The supplemental draft doesn't always get a ton of action, but a notable name definitely shakes things up. It really depends on which teams have the roster flexibility to take a chance on him.
National sports radio has taken a massive dip lately. The constant yelling and over-the-top hot takes get old fast. Sometimes you just want actual, insightful sports analysis instead of people trying to create forced drama for clicks.

re: Recurring severe anxiety

Posted by Combaro01 on 6/3/26 at 2:54 pm to
What you're describing - episodic anxiety that attaches to rotating content, crushing guilt over objectively minor things, physical symptoms throughout the day - fits a recurring anxiety pattern where the trigger is almost irrelevant. The brain finds something to focus on regardless.

Medication addresses symptoms but not the underlying pattern which is why efficacy feels inconsistent. Worked with a therapist at Life Insight in Hinsdale Illinois who used CBT specifically targeting the thought patterns behind recurring anxiety rather than the content itself. The realization that the guilt about old things isn't really about those things is where the work starts.
Cracker, cheese, meat. Keep the heavy stuff on top so it doesn't slip.

Check out the spots around the courthouse square, some good local diners there.
If you haven't figured out how to split them yet, take D3/K2 and Omega-3 with your largest meal for absorption, and B-complex in the morning so it won't mess with your sleep.

For the rest, it depends on the forms you have. I used to take Zinc and Mag separately, but Zinc on an empty stomach gave me awful nausea, and timing them so they didn't block each other's absorption was a headache. I switched to Performance Lab because they blend these core nutrients together without causing stomach upset. Now I just take that and do Magnesium before bed. Saves a lot of hassle.
NOLA pizza has gotten so good lately. Glad to see local spots getting national recognition.
