Late one night, I decided to swim across the LSU lake by the fraternity houses. I was fully clothed and even had my shoes on because who knows what is in that lake. I was doing okay for a while and then got tired; real tired. I honestly thought I was going to drown so I decided to try to just tread...

So it’s still safe to go to one of their home football games?...

Go to REI and get each kid a pair of top of the line trail runners and then return them for a full refund within a year! But seriously, like the other poster said, regular tennis shoes should be fine. A second pair of shoes specifically for water, like Crocs, should get you through. Just make sur...

[quote]If you say the wrong thing..you’ll learn about unemployment.[/quote] Best advice - don’t say anything and try to avoid participating in any exercise, no matter how harmless it seems. My story: I went through similar training several years ago. The instructor set up big white boards aroun...

[quote]You mean they had "Free In-Store Pickup" like every major store in the country has rolled out over the past few years?[/quote] They had an ancient version of that, I guess. The store had very little inventory and wasn’t much more than a customer service counter. They ordered directly from a ...

Back in the 1960’s/1970’s, Covington had a Sears catalog store. You’d shop from the catalog at home, go into the store and place your order, and pick it up when it arrived. It was nice because you didn’t have to rely on the USPS and you could return merchandise there. They used to sell firearms unde...

[quote]Don’t be surprised what someone will do to hurt you.[/quote] This is what surprised me the most about my ex.

Use a pin or needle to push the fuses of some rockets through a cigarette about halfway between the filter and the tip. Light the cigarette, set the rockets in a bottle or tube, and tape the cigarette to the side of the bottle with the lit end pointing down. The cigarette will burn on its own and e...

It’s a sad reality that I need to sit my children down and have a conversation with them about how to act when they are stopped by protesters blocking a road. The cold, hard truth is that they will be treated differently at roadblocks based solely on the color of their skin. Problematic. ...

It’s a shame that many organizations that were vital in helping kids get outdoors (Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, churches, etc.) have been demonized and no longer fulfill that role. I remember that busloads of kids used to cross the Causeway from New Orleans to visit Fountainbleau State Park. I think tha...

[quote]Because brisket is popular for the 4th in the lone star state. That restriction is lifted the moment stores close on July 4th.[/quote] I sure hope you’re right but in two trips to Walmart this week, the paper products aisle is looking like the hoarding locusts swept through again.
