My neighbors bought a washer and dryer set from Home Depot. They needed a new washer and dryer because theirs were destroyed by the flood. They wanted a machine that had all of the so called extras. Home Depot had only one dryer and washer left in the store. It was a very cheap combo that didn't have the extras they were looking for. Since they were desperate, they took the cheap set. The wife noticed how much cleaner her clothes were when she washed them the first time. She said that she likes the cheap washer much better than her Whirlpool that was destroyed. Her cheap set is an Amana. I think that a well known company makes that brand.

I'm from Hillsdale, Michigan and I don't miss the winters and snow up there one bit. I'll take these Louisiana summers over Michigan winters any day. I would definitely have a different point of view if air conditioners didn't exist. I miss going to Canada.

Sky King was a name of a TV program in the late fifties. The program dealt with a plane called Sky King and I think that the plane was used to apprehend the bad guys.

I went and saw that prison when my class went on a field trip. Some of the inmates were allowed to interact with us. The person in charge of that particular section of the jail asked if she could take the female students to a room that looked like a big gymnasium. The girls were allowed to go. The girls were in that room for over an hour and when they came out they looked like they were scared to death. I asked one girl what the talk was about. She told me that about fifteen inmates were allowed to speak to them as a group. She also said that if she was forced to live there, she would kill herself before she was sent there. She told me that she couldn't see how people could live in those conditions. Quite a few of the girls said that those inmates belonged there for the horrible crimes they did. One woman told the girls that she was there for life because she killed a man that was bothering her. She said that she broke into his house and pulled a gun on him. She said that two men who were friends of her helped her hold the man down. She forced the man to drink several glasses of Draino. The man was still alive when they left the house because they heard a car drive up. Another inmate told the girls what most of the women get when they are sent there. The girl told us that she would never look at a broom stick the same way that she did before she was sent there. t was impressed with the way the female inmates took the blame for the crimes they did. I went to that place one time and I never want to go there ever again. I just thought that St. Gabrial (sp} was just a prison. I really never thought about what actually goes on in there.

Why do you think Walt Disney backed out of Disney World? He wanted to build it in an area that was very close to New Orleans? Disney World was scheduled to be built on a site that would attract people from neighboring states. Guess what happened. A group of people that were well known and those in politics approached Walt and demanded that they wanted a piece of the pie after Disney World was built. Walt immediately said no and Disney World was built in another state. It was said that Walt could not believe how corrupt the La. law makers were, so he told La. that because of corruption involving their law makers he took Disney World off of the table. People in La. wonder why this state is a state that will never move forward. Corruption in La. is well known in this country. Every law maker wants their share of the pie. Corruption is why this state will never advance because law makers and wealthy people will always have their fingers in the pie. Here is another fact about the corruption that is going on. Did you know that a automobile plant wanted to locate in Louisiana but they were approached by the crooks and they said no way in hell that we are going to build an auto plant in Louisiana. Montgomery, Alabama got the plant .

I can't drink alcohol at all because I was told that I have cirrhosis. I feel fine and so far I haven't had any problems. I was never a fall down drunk but I usually drank two drinks before going to bed. I have insomnia and the two drinks helped me fall asleep. When I was told what I have I just thought to myself there is nobody to blame but me. The doctor never gave me a prescription or medicine to help me. He told me never to drink alcohol again. I haven't touched a drink in over a year and I never felt any pain.

When I went to LSU, the tiger band was great. The band actually won some kind of competition and was named the best band to perform on TV. Back then, Ole Miss had a great band. When they were performing at half time they put on a fantastic show in Tiger Stadium in which Popeye downed a can

of spinach. This performance was done a couple of weeks before the winner was announced. I thought that Ole Miss would definitely win the TV award after I saw their performace. I was surprised when LSU was announced as the winner. Back in those days most bands were extremely loud. The Tiger Band sucks now and I think the best band in the SEC now is Auburn. Their band is loud and their marching formations are top notched. The Auburn band is a lot better than Bama's band. There are two bands in the SEC that are not worth watching and the two are Vandy and Kentucky. I wish that the Tiger band was as good as they used to be. Somebody or something is currently holding Tiger Band at bay. I thought that the worse Tiger Band ever was were during the Rouse years.

Did any of you see the video of a black lady that was laying on her back on Bourbon Street? She was alert and knew that her situation wasn't going to end well. Like an idiot I watched that entire video. You later see a black man carrying a rifle and walking to where that woman was laying down. She couldn't run or get up from the street because that black guy already injured her previously. You could tell by the expression on her face that she knew she was going to die. The guy with the gun then shot her in the face. She died instantly. The killer ran away and they later arrested him in the state of Tennessee. I saw that video on you tube and because of all the complaints, you tube took the video down and got rid of it. I just wished that I didn't watch a woman's last minutes on earth. I always wonder why the person who recorded that incident did not call the police. I'll probably always think of that murder until the day I die.

Thanks Cajun, that is definitely the name of the cake.

I'm originally from New Orleans and somebody asked me a question that I'm having trouble remembering the name. A lady asked me what the cake is called and how to make it. I knew immediately what she was talking about but for the life of me I can't remember the name of the cake. The last time that I had some of the unknown cake was over twenty years ago when I worked in Avondale. Here are some of the facts of the unknown cake that I remember when I saw my grandmother make one. The cake is made when you have about five different kinds of cake that are baked. The cakes are pulled into pieces and the pieces that are pulled are usually put in a punch bowl. You take a spoon and mix the pieces together. The last thing that I remember was some kind of liquid was poured over the cake pieces in the punch bowl. There are other ingredients used in making the cake but I can't remember them at all. I also remember that the cake was delicious. Does anyone remember the name of the cake that I'm talking about?
