Its amazing how different the Oysters taste between Metairie and elsewhere
I didn't say that, I like the grilled oysters, cremated? I'll pass. I'll be surprised if the BR location actually re-opens, they weren't exactly killing it.

I was excited when Drago's came to BR, after holding a meeting for 12 there, maybe 4 more visits, I gave up. Metairie stands as the only Drago's that I enjoy, apparently the concept does not travel well.
If the Dems succeed and cause serious harm to President Trump....

I fear gravely what will happen to this country. I see a violent and ugly civil war, the Dem leadership would have blood on their hands up to their elbows. Pritsker's threats just a couple of days ago are chilling.
Is there any sanity in the DNC? They don't just disagree with Trump, they viscerally hate him, and it's destroying their party. I don't wish to see the Dems drag the country down with them.
I'm glad I'm not young anymore.

Riverside Patty is not far away, I always enjoy eating there, the total lack of decor and ambiance is a winner.
re: Tell the truth, do you ever hope your kid's team loses so you can get home?

People are calling me out, but I didn't say I wanted my kids to lose. Once, back in the early 90's my daughter loved soccer and she was a very good athlete. When we moved to BR the only girl teams were low skill level and they were only for girls up to 9th grade.
One coach of a HS boy's team saw my daughter play and encouraged her to try out for his team, well she made the team, not a starter, but she played a lot on 2nd string. The problem was that she was 5'9" 130 lb, the guys were all much bigger, I was worried about her safety, but she was fast and agile and avoided heavy contact. Until the team went to Alexandria for the state championship, the other team looked like all football linebackers. During warmups I went up to the coach and gave him this look, thanks God she never got on the field that day. She pouted all the way home about not getting to play, but they won and she didn't get hurt.
By the next year she decided that she wanted to be a model, at least she never fell off of a runway.

So you're in the same security vulnerable operation system boat if u had just stuck with win10... I saw lots of complaints about it on the web a few weeks ago..
The first method I tried had this flaw, the one I use now updates, the only downside I see is that the system is not optimized for AI.

Even if you get a perfect conversion, you will be shocked at how primitive VHS looks, even converted to DVD or to any drive.

I have to go with George McGovern. In WWII he was a bomber pilot who flew 35 combat missions over Europe, was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross. The Air Medal and stayed in the Air Force to train pilots. Anyone who flew combat missions is a tough MF, regardless of their political beliefs.
Another high up on my list, Barry Goldwater.
BTW, I don't know of any great women who have lost.

re: Doc said he needs more tests, but blindness is a possibility
Posted by andouille on 4/26/25 at 8:57 pm
Thanks for the prayer and encouragement. I had testing yesterday, retina specialist gave me a thorough exam and pronounced my symptoms as temporary, said they will likely disappear within a few weeks. With pre-diabetes I didn't want to take any chances. Deaf I could live with, blind is another matter.

There was a Mexican family on our block growing up in Metairie, dad was an engineer, mom was stay at home as were most moms. The son my age was a great friend and a terrific baseball player. He was chubby until he hit puberty, then he turned into a muscular refrigerator, the kids who bullied him for being a sp*c, stopped that shite or paid for it. His sisters filled out nicely.
He loved my mom's Italian cooking, his mom made these things called empanadas, I count eat as many as she gave me. Of course, all the white kids were skinny, what we called a fat kid would be a medium today.
Junk food it the ruination of fitness, I'm behind RFK, let's get rid that crap, destroy all the video game and buy sports equipment.

I had to look up what a hookah lounge is for, interesting. Are they mostly patronized by POC? That part of town is a BBQ desert, with all due respect for Jay's and Podnuh's, but I want the meat smoked, not me. That's what I was hoping for.
No, I said it is a better location for the type of noise and crowds that Boil & Roux attracted.

On Coursey, in a building that has been many different eateries, now sits Bianka. It just opened this week, I heard it was a BBQ place, sounded OK, so we stopped. Let's just say they have a very long dress code posted on the board outside the door, you can't miss the symbol for "no firearms allowed".
If an establishment has to make a point of telling patrons that they can't bring in a gun, not my kind of place. I did get a chance to see the diners sitting on the 2nd floor patio, not a lot of Republican votes up there.
This is a much better location for the Boil & Roux crowd, it is not adjacent to a quiet residential neighborhood, so if they want to party hearty, they won't keep the boomers awake.
