Unless it’s a small Indian station with one pump, tipping is not the norm. These people are paid. I tipped the first time at a Royal Farms and the kid was elated. You don’t tip.

Don’t give me the I have kids excuse. You took them to a FRIDAY night game. Yall got your pictures now get back in the seat and support this team. It’s Tennessee.

Raised in Mandeville. Baton Rouge for college. New Orleans post college. Back to Mandeville.

Then 3 years ago hit the road to take a risk on a very big work opportunity. Lived in Raleigh NC, Nashville TN, Austin TX, Update NY and Cherry Hill NJ. Been here in Jersey for just over a year. Due to family illness, just bought a house back home on the Northshore where we will be until the family situation runs its course. Traveling the country for work and living in the various cities listed above was by far the best decision I have ever made in my life. Granted I am heading home for a bit, it completely changed my perspective about how the rest of the country lives. It allowed me the opportunity to know what is attainable and where I want to be and the type of people I want to surround myself with when it is time to settle down and retire.

There is so much more out there. And I don’t just mean moving to Houston or somewhere down I10 in state. If you have the opportunity to get out, do it. You can always come back when you need to.

Perks from some of the places I’ve lived that the locals take for granted:

1. Raleigh- knocking off work every afternoon and heading to one of the 20 public golf courses in a 30 minute radius. Gorgeous fairways and perfect greens. Incredible weather so walking was the standard. Everyone is so into the game that all skill levels are welcome. Nobody had the new money look at me at my private club attitude. It was pure. Met some awesome people and never once felt like an outsider.

2. Upstate NY/Saratoga: Not having any idea how awesome tailgating for a huge horse race every weekend for 3 months in a row was. The most historic track in the country. Fine cigars and cocktails at every corner. The entire town is walkable and the weather never got over 70 degrees.

3. Cherry Hill: Hoping on a train for $18 to take you from your neighborhood to Madison Square Garden/ Penn Station for a quick day trip to NYC. Hit a famous comedy club then have some beers at the first Irish pub in America. All with the convenience of living in small town USA a quick train ride away. If that’s not your vibe, no worries drive 20 minutes into Philly and watch a Super Bowl winning season with some crazy fans that can’t wait to share the experience.


There are plenty of more incredible experiences and great memories made on the journey. It builds perspective. Perspective an extremely important trait to attain.

I live in the northeast. South Jersey. Philadelphia is just about the last “northeast” city looking at the map. Everything west of that is Midwest. The majority of Pennsylvania is where is starts.

There is a strong difference.


Biggest wow moment for me was when I realized that Maryland is borderline “the south” amongst the locals. Coming from Louisiana and hearing “welcome to the south” was interesting.

—I should clarify. I am strictly speaking about the culture and social norms of the areas. For instance, Pittsburg is far more similar to, let’s say Cincinnati, than it is to any city from Philly/NJ up to Maine. Sure geographic area all of PA is considered the NE, but the west side is vastly different from eastern PA / Philly which begins “the northeast” when you are speaking about the people/society.

I can’t wait for the day we move past the current block font. So outdated. It’s like when trucks moved on from square designs to rounded modern looks in the year 2000. Go back to the basics.

Used it to cut balance side effects of Lex.

Very Zen combo. Group that with a little gym time and good outdoors, you can be an LSU fan for a very long time with no stress.

Kool,

I’m not arguing with you about where Bradford should be playing. I’m telling you what a kid his age sees and more importantly l, what is being told to him from the locker room.

The majority of the most successful executives I work with all over the country (with the exception of the south) rarely partake in casual drinking, but openly discuss THC edibles as the go to. It is extremely common and not a topic that’s viewed as “alternative”. Some of these people are the definition of health.

It is only when I skim the OT on a south Louisiana based website that you find people who believe THC is from the devil and still call it “pot” :lol:

Lost a road series to a top 10 team.

You’re the best team in the country and lost this series because of idiotic decisions. That is more concerning. Do we have time to figure this out? Sure. Doesn’t change the fact that you blew this series.

Was screaming that yesterday. You pull Eyanson up 5-2 in the 5th. Just to “experiment” with Ware. Everyone knows Evans and Cowan are your guys. Win the damn series on the road agains Texas and worry about experiments against Miss Statw and “lefty righty” bull shite that means nothing when you can’t find the zone. Awful coaching weekend.
