Checkout short-term rental of a small condo on back side of Seaside. LINK
Wouldn't really call them "condos"; pretty much each one is separate cottage house for rent. :thup:
Took a walk down memory lane looking at your link. From 1996 to around 2010, we went there just about every year (sometimes twice a year). Stayed in a good number of different cottages. Used to enjoy it a lot when the two girls were growing up.
Lots more development occurred around it (Watercolor in particular). Seaside got too crowded and then too expensive, and now over-run with crowds of obnoxious spoiled rich teenagers (many who aren't actually staying there).
Things change, not always for the better.

After the chase of what it is that you want is over, life begins to lose meaning.
I'm 61 and am very much starting to kind of feel this way-- I say "kind of" because it's not that life loses meaning after the chase is over, but it feels very different. As in I have no more goals to achieve, no "next step" mission to accomplish.
I'm still here to love and look after others (mainly my family) as I have been doing, but everything else has been completed.
It's a given that retirement in 6 years will be reached. The only other thing I look forward to is (hopefully) grandkids, but having those is not on me.

LSU was outmanned in the other two games in the Sugar Bowl.
True, but the other issue, as many posters in the know have stated in earlier threads, was that Bill Arnsparger was coaching in those two games, and he had little interest in preparing for and coaching in a post-season bowl game that was not for a national champioship. Former players have said this. There was little game planning for the games and players were given essentially free rein to enjoy the holidays before those games.
The second Nebraska game was worse than the 1st; Arnsparger was even more checked out as he had already announced his resignation after the Tulane game to become the AD at Florida.

re: Weird dreams you've had

I graduated 26 years ago, and I'll still occasionally have the dream where I didn't go to class all semester and now I have to take the final exam.
More than 20 years ago, was talking about that particular kind of dream with an older, semi-retired engineer in our office (he since has passed away; he was probably in his 70s back then). He said he STILL had those dreams occasionally, even at his age.
I have had a lot of weird dreams, but the most reality-based dream I remember happened about 3-4 years ago. In the dream I was in church, and the priest was doing the thing with walking down the aisle and sprinkling holy water on people in the pews with his aspergillum.
But when he got to me, he looked at me with an intent look and started sprinkling water just on me over and over. I was like, "Hey Father Tim, what the heck?" and I woke up. Before I opened my eyes I could feel water actually sprinkling on me for real. Opened my eyes and saw water was being sprinkled off the ceiling fan over our bed; it was dripping from the ceiling above the fan directly onto the blades.
I knew right away what had happened-- the drip tray under the AC handler in the attic (right above the master bedroom) was clogged and it was overflowing. Was able to get up there quickly and take care of it before any major damage occurred.
Actually glad I was sleeping under it when it occurred and it didn't happen a day or so later, as we were going out of town on vacation the next day.
How/why I wound up at LSU--
Neither of my parents went to college, so no connection there... Never went to any LSU sporting events other than a March Madness game in the Superdome in 1981; kinda liked the late 70s/early 80s Dale Brown b-ball teams... only went to LSU campus for academic rally competitions and then Boys State in summer 1981. As a HS senior, had no interest in going to LSU; I wanted to go far away (from my family, primarily my a-hole stepfather at the time) and saw LSU as "high school plus", where almost all of my classmates were going.
So I got a scholarship to Trinity University in San Antonio, and went there. Big mistake; rich kids' small school and I had to deliver pizzas at night to make pocket money... friends at LSU called me on Saturday nights drunk after games, and the Tigers were having a great year in football, so I decided I would transfer after one year out west.
Best decision I ever made.
Had a blast with friends from home who were at LSU; met lots of new friends (and girls), became a huge Tiger fan in all sports. Really enjoyed my 3 college years there; graduated on time (Spring '86) with a BA in Poli Sci, minor in English, accepted to all 4 law schools I applied to... I think that IF I would have gone to LSU for law school I would have liked it more and stuck with it.
Since then, became an even bigger tiger fan-- LSU football season tickets, tailgate for every game, went to Omaha and saw baseball team win world series, etc.
Wife is a LSU med school grad; both daughters are LSU grads as are my nephews.
Funny thing is the two friends who called me on those Saturday nights and were an impetus for me to transfer didn't last at LSU; they (like many others) later wound up going home and finishing at UNO.

re: House design features that bother you
Posted by BRich on 4/6/26 at 4:59 pm to Onyx Aggie
Before she moved out, my twenty-something daughter and I used to take after-dinner walks in the neighborhood, and look at houses both under construction and existing (there are a lot of tear-downs and newer replacement houses in Old Metairie where I live)
We both abhor:
1. Garages in the front of the house, regardless of which direction they face. On many newer homes it makes it look like the garage is IN the front yard.
2. The overworked look of a white/off-white house exterior with black/dark brown trim. Everyone is doing this:
3. Huge full-story roofs in the front unbroken by dormers or anything. When you are looking straight-on at the front of a house, from rooftop to ground, and more than half of what you see is roof shingles, you are doing something wrong.
Two odd architectural details that REALLY bug the hell out of my daughter for some reason:
1. Extraneous keystones on flat windows and doorways:
2. Quoins (squares which stick out on exterior wall corners). Not so much on brick homes if they are the same brick, but especially on stucco homes and extra-especially when they are painted a different color than the main part of the house:

SAME.
Wife is a doctor and mother of two. Family is more important to her than work. Our two girls (now adults) turned out great; they had dad coaching them in sports and doing outdoor things with them; and then mom chaperoning at dance camp, shopping with them, and taking them to 'girly' movies and concerts.
I lucked out; we dated off and on for years, but got engaged when she was 23 (in med school) and I was 25 (had just got my master's). Got our jobs settled; bought a house. Then had our 1st child when she was 30 and our second when she was 33.
Like you said, rare-- but they do exist. :thup:
