re: Car insurance

Posted by Slickback on 2/20/26 at 1:49 pm to
In Louisiana, I tell people $400/mo is the baseline. High limits or a nice/sporty car will raise it $100-300/mo. A Beater with liability only will drop it about $100/mo.

Drivers training, good student, safe driver, whatever telematics discount your company uses …make sure the kids qualifies for all the discounts.
A good budget is more important than a good salary.

I can’t imagine he’ll be a free agent for long.
I dropped a 100+ page insurance policy into Copilot this morning and asked it a very nuanced question and had a great answer under a minute.

App for landscape/backyard design

Posted by Slickback on 1/25/26 at 4:07 pm
Anybody have an app or program they recommend for redesigning a backyard? I just added a pool, but also looking at expanding my backyard, adding a shed, and an outdoor kitchen area.

I also would like to make a high level design of my pasture/barn/animal/garden/orchard area.

It looks like they’re all hitting the recruiting trail. Kevin Smith was visiting ex-player Andre Anthony at Bonnabel in Kenner.

DHgate will make you anything you want for cheap. It’s probably made in a sweat shop, about 10% of the time the quality is poor, and it’s shipped from China. But I’ve had success getting some for my kids for less than half of what they sell for here.

I've heard from several people that this same kid was kicked out of Bluff Middle School last year for bringing a pistol to school.


Yes, but didn’t bring it to school. Made posts on social media brandishing guns and making threats.

I’d ask “where are the parents and why would they let him still have access to guns?”, but there’s no point.
Probably the reason everyone wears cowboy hats and listens to country music all of a sudden. COVID made people go outside and being outdoorsy became the in thing.
I pay on the 5th (16th - end of month work days) and 20th (1st - 15th work days).

none of these guys are truly great qbs


Not many people considered Burrow or Daniels great when they transferred to LSU
Some college aged gal made a post on FB advertising babysitting services. Councilman posted “do you have to have a kid?” Or some similar comment.

The Ascension Parish Political Rumors FB page screenshotted it and called him out. It’s a pretty wild page with wild accusations and some unfounded rumors. No one knows who runs the page.

The Councilman outed (accused) the owner of the page as Ruth, who is the parish presidents assistant (or similar role) and then accused her husband of exposing himself to the councilman and his ex gf.

I don’t know any of these people but have watched it play out the last few days on FB :lol:

NILSU (LSU's Name, Image, & Likeness program) launched with a prominent Times Square billboard in 2021 to mark the new era of college athletics, featuring LSU gymnast Olivia Dunne, symbolizing the program's visibility and commitment to athlete branding, a landmark move that set a standard for NIL activations in college sports. The billboard showcased LSU athletes and their growing endorsement deals, establishing NILSU as a leader in athlete empowerment and marketing, even leading to a documentary about their efforts.

Key Details:

Launch: The initial Times Square billboard for NILSU went up on July 1, 2021.

Featured Athlete: LSU gymnast Olivia Dunne was prominently featured, highlighting her endorsements and the potential of NIL.

Significance: It was a major statement, signaling LSU's dedication to capitalizing on Name, Image, & Likeness opportunities, making a big splash in the evolving landscape of college sports.

Ongoing Impact: The initial billboard was part of a broader strategy, leading to more NIL deals, educational programs, and even an Emmy-nominated documentary on Amazon Prime called "The Money Game".

In essence, the NILSU billboard in Times Square was a historic, attention-grabbing event that kicked off LSU's successful NIL journey, demonstrating a commitment to athlete branding and marketing.
Yeah it’s extra thick this year and the ash was as bad as I’ve ever seen it the day after Christmas.

Ascension Parish Residents

I have traveled this entire Parish today from Donaldsonville, to Gesimar, to Prairieville, Gonzales, Galvez, St. Amant and Darrow.

This entire Parish is full of smoke no matter where you go.

We are not working any fire calls.

The only thing that I can come up with is they have to be burning sugar cane.

That usually happens every year about this time.

Please share this message to ease any minds of why this Parish is full of smoke. Fire Chief James E. LeBlanc 01/05/2026
