Replacing the much lamented 'On My Mind' profile option, this thread is for musings, jottings, whimsies, preoccupations and the rest of the thesaurus for anyone to jot down anything they please.
I can't remember what the maximum character count was before, can anyone else? But anyway it wasn't very many so let's keep to that.
I am not going anywhere. Staying home. It is supposed to be over by tomorrow.
sending hugs to anyone having a rough time!! you got this. step by step, find solutions.
bundle of joy :)
Also, the French Quarter Festival and Jazz Festival music lineups have been announced. Yay!
It was such an important news item here, as soon as it happened there was a crawler across the bottom of the tv screen.
I love Payton. Broncos are fortunate to get him.
Geaux Saints! 2010 Super Bowl! Our entire city rejoiced. After Katrina, we needed that game to cheer us up! Payton and Drew were our
heroes!
I took my kids to the championship parade afterwards and it was more crowded than our Mardi Gras parades!
My youngest daughter caught beads from Drew and was thrilled to death! He and Sean were bombed, but Drew still had great aim! LOL 😆 He pointed to my daughter and threw a ton of beads straight at her.
I don’t think any player on the floats were sober! Our city celebrated for a long time!
I remember when our team was really bad. We jokingly called them the ‘Ain’ts’ and wore paper bags over our heads due to being embarrassed! Hahaha…Sean whipped them into shape!
Benson at one time had a voodoo priestess come in before a game to perform a ritual. That was hilarious. We are die hard fans though and show up for the games. Saints fans cheer louder than any other team.
When they named their team, The New Orleans Saints, they asked our archbishop if he felt the name was offensive to the church. The archbishop said, “No, it’s not offensive, but just remember that the saints have gone through many trials and tribulations before they overcame.” That was certainly true for our football team!
Hoda lived here and was a local broadcaster at one time. She married a UNO professor here. They divorced years ago.
Yeah, I like Hoda too. She is a huge Saints fan.
On the other hand, more than 40 dogs were well cared for.
The mom's boyfriend didn't want the kid in the house.
How does anyone treat their child this way?
A few weeks back when we had some rolling power outages my heat pump would trip the breaker and not restart when the power was restored (until I replaced a bad breaker). My house dropped to 56 one night. The boys put a couple of extra quilts on the bed and slept through. The next night I placed a ceramic heater in their room and kept the temperature in the upper 60s in spite of the house dropping lower. I worried about them staying warm in a well insulated house. How does anyone let their child suffer frostbite while they sleep in a nearby warm house? Not even let them inside for a bath or a meal?
She and the boyfriend sit in a warm jail (no one is bailing them out) getting 3 meals a day. I wish we could lock them in the trailer they kept the boy in for about 20 years!
cw -YAY!!! Bring it on 🌾🌹🌼
The poor little critter, Phil. All that shouting, fanfare in Pennsylvania. Aren't they almost blind?
I briefly saw the video, but it may not have been this year's video Feb. 2nd.
Was it 6 weeks more of winter?
In California, we've got sun, snow-capped mountains, miles and miles of beaches, redwood forests-all the good stuff!
:)
but i loooove the white snow everywhere. very pretty. and i loooove the sound of my shoes crunching against the snow when i walk.
"Tips for driving in the snow:
1. Install winter tires
2. Drive south
3. Continue until you see palm trees
4. Apply brakes & sunscreen"
I feel colder just hearing you describe the snow! You sound like my daughter who loves the snow. I am not fond of cold weather.
My daughter fell in love with the snow when she moved to Colorado. She moved back to Louisiana and misses the snow. She is going to take her vacation in Colorado to visit with her friends and ski in March.
The snow is beautiful. My daughter learned how to layer her clothing in Colorado. Geeeeeez, we barely need a coat during our winter season here in New Orleans.
