Disney with a 5 year old and 14 month old

Posted by GeauxTigahs92 on 2/27/26 at 9:39 am

Just got back from a trip to Disney with aforementioned kids and wife. Honestly, we had a blast. It was extremely packed due to it being both Mardi Gras and President's Day but we managed to do most of what we wanted with minimal issues. We did purchase the Lightning Lane pass which is a must IMO. If you are spending that much money already it is not worth being miserable and waiting in lines to save a few hundred dollars. I highly recommend going when they are young, even 14 months old. Will she remember it, no, but I always will. She loved meeting character and the slower rides. Her face lit up and you could tell she was looking around in amazement. I know Disney gets a lot of hate on this site, some of it very well earned and deserved. However, there are not many places that can give a child that young things to laugh and smile at all day. There are things I roll my eyes at while I am there, but overall it's worth every penny when we go. I will always recommend it to anyone who is considering going.

Broussard's is really good. Usually where we go when in the city for a nice brunch. They definitely have bottomless mimosas. I have never been disappointed there.

Here's an idea. Audit EVERY state! I'm sure there is fraud in all 50 to some degree.

Best Air Fryer

Posted by GeauxTigahs92 on 1/22/26 at 9:32 am

Looking to buy a new Air Fryer. Don't mind spending up to $150 because we use it a lot. What do you guys have and how do you like it? Looking to go the non-toxic route if possible.

Restaurants in Bay St. Louis

Wife and I are going to BSL soon for a couple nights as our Christmas gift to each other. We have been a few times and know a lot of the normal/popular restaurants. I was hoping people had some under the radar/hidden gem type of places in BSL and surrounding area. Also, good dessert places would be appreciated. Don't mind driving 20-30 minutes if it's worth the drive. TIA

What is on everyone's menu for NYE? We are doing NY strip with some gnocci in alfredo sauce and broccoli. Will finish off with peanut butter chocolate chip cookie pie. Then will go on a heavy diet starting January 1!

Best sauce to compliment a steak

Posted by GeauxTigahs92 on 12/23/25 at 9:52 am

I personally do not like any sauces with my steak but my in laws are psychos and like their steaks well done so I am trying to find a sauce that will help the dryness that comes with a well done steak. I love my in laws dearly but I just cannot understand grown people who like to eat shoe leather when it could be the most tender and juicy meat out there. I plan to do ribeyes. I am thinking of doing a beurre blanc sauce but am open to other suggestions. TIA

The backyard is very good but kinda pricy for hamburgers and fries/tater tots IMO. They had a frozen old fashioned the last time I went that was absolutely phenomenal though and is worth going back for.

Literally says they prefer not to have kids on their website. Thanks a-hole :spank:

Dinner in Nola with kids

Posted by GeauxTigahs92 on 12/15/25 at 3:00 pm

Wife and I are going to Nola for Christmas in the Oaks Friday and are looking for somewhere to eat around City Park/Lakeview area that is relatively kid friendly. We have a 5 and 1 year old so nothing too fancy. We were thinking maybe Felix's on the lake but I would appreciate any other recommendations! TIA :cheers:

Things got off to a rocky start. Prior to today my wife made it very clear she did not want my SIL alone with our kids. She doesn’t trust her to not try and indoctrinate our kids while we aren’t around. Literally writhing ten minutes my wife goes to the back of the house and there my SIL is with our older daughter totally alone. Wife is fuming and told her if this happens again she’s never gonna be around our kids again. About an hour later I overhear SIL blasting my wife to her other siblings that’s she’s not allowed to be alone with our kids. I told my wife who rolled her eyes. I truly hope it doesn’t get any worse but I will absolutely update if it does!

Beats me man. That's part of the problem. We are the only one with kids so it's a bigger deal to us than her other siblings. Once they have kids things will change. For entertainment sake I hope stuff happens but for family stability and overall happiness I hope it's a false alarm.

May have some drama tomorrow. My wife and sister are polar opposites in literally every aspect of their lives. Luckily I married the conservative, mentally stable one. They have been going at it really every since Kirk was assassinated. SIL thinks he is a POS and did not seem too upset over it all. That set my wife off and they have been at it ever since. Have seen her twice since then and they have not said a word to each other but it has been in larger crowds. Tomorrow will be just close family so there will be more chances of drama. My SIL has basically told my wife she is a terrible person and we are raising our daughters to be close minded because we do not expose them to gay/trans stuff and do not want them around her and her girlfriend. SIL has already stormed out of my wife's birthday dinner at a nice restaurant over Ukraine nonsense so she can fly off the handle at any moment. Just waiting for my SIL to say make some backhanded comment because my wife doesn't put up with her BS like everyone else does. Could very well end up in a screaming match between them and I have money on my wife all day. She pulls no punches when it comes to her sister. Will let everyone know if shite pops off! I plan to just observe and drink/eat and see what happens.

The LPO will perform the music while the movie is playing and it is phenomenal. If you ever have the chance to do it I highly recommend it. I have seen Jurassic Park and Home Alone and they are both fantastic. Very impressive how perfectly timed the music is and how they do not miss a single note.

Cannot wait to hear the shenanigans going on in people's families for Thanksgiving. Hope it's as messy as it has been the last few years!

re: Shoulder replacement elderly

Posted by GeauxTigahs92 on 11/6/25 at 3:42 pm to Shotgun Willie

Physical Therapist here. I see shoulder replacements often and they vary in outcomes. Mostly dependent on patient effort and attendance to PT. If she is an active and determined person then she should do fine. She won't get full range of motion back in shoulder but she will still be functional. She will be able to clean, feed, bathe, dress, and do all normal activities. Biggest thing is going to PT like she needs to and working it at home. Hardest part is the first 4-6 weeks because she will be in a brace 23 hours a day to protect shoulder and prevent dislocation. If you have any other questions I'd be happy to answer them!
