re: Shooting at Dooky Chase

Gotta say, Helena is a lot easier on the eyes than Latoya.
They thought building the brew pub would get them a new parking garage.
When I was at LSU in the late ‘70s, Lockett had an amazing collection of graffiti in the restroom. And it was always being added to. Once a week I would go take a forced piss just to see the new graffiti.

One I rember is “Anybody can piss on the floor, but it takes effort to shite on the ceiling”. And it was written in big letters on the ceiling. Someone must have had a ladder to get up there to write it.
A new Ace Hardware is opening in Metairie in that big space in Wilshire Shopping Center that used to be that fabric store. Next to Jason’s Deli.

I’m glad to see this as I don’t go to Basil’s on Transcontinental anymore since it changed owners. The service is not the same. I’ve been going to Stanfords in Kenner, the new location will be a lot more convenient for me. Hopefully they will have the service that Basil’s used to have.

Little known fact-

There were GIs in Iran during WW2. I had an uncle that was there during the war. No combat, they logistics engineers. Merchant ships would deliver material destined to Russia. There was a supply line to Russia that ran through Iran.

re: 0W-16 Weight motor oil? WTF

Posted by doublecutter on 12/30/25 at 10:20 am to
There are YouTube videos discussing the light weight oils used in engines sold in the US. Basically it questions why a 0w oil in specked in a US engine and the exact same engine in other parts of the world are specked at 5W oils. The reason given is that US engines have to squeeze out every MPG they can to satisfy EPA regulations.

If I work for 40 years and am worth $1.5 million, I’ll kms


$1.5M in the late ‘90s is about $3M today.
So you’re going to kill yourself if you have $3M in retirement?
Back in the late ‘70s there was a place like that in Picayune, MS. I think it was called the Brown Door. Owned by a Ms Mitchell.
I got kin in St Mary Parish that still talk like they are in 1000.
I don’t have a dog in this fight, but I can tell you a little about my uncle’s experience working at a plant. When he came home from the Korean War he got a job with the construction crew that was building what came to be Monsanto in Luling. As the plant neared completion they hired a lot of the guys that were on the construction crews. He worked his way up the food chain and became an operator of one of the units. He worked there until retirement in the late ‘90s, working there for 40+ years.

I’m not sure how much overtime he worked, but he had the reputation that he caught more fish, shot more ducks, and killed more deer than anyone in his neighborhood. He sent a son to LSU and he became a college professor. He sent a daughter to Tulane and she became a doctor. He brought his kids on great vacations every summer. He bought some acreage, built a house and barn and pond. He had horses that his kids could ride, and his nieces and nephews.

Unfortunately, his wife, my aunt passed away about five years before he retired. When he retired he bought a brand new Cadillac and used to visit some of the local juke joints to Cajun dance. Supposedly he was very popular with the ladies.

Family lore has it that when he retired, between his pension, stock ownership in the company, etc, he was worth about 1.5 million. He considered the plant his family, after retirement he continued to interact with his fellow workers. Over the years, these guys fished together, hunted, coached little league baseball and became part of each other’s lives.

For a guy with limited education, his plant job at Monsanto was a godsend.
I brought my mother to her dermatology appointment in the building next to Goodwill in Metairie. While she waited in the doctors office I went to look around at Goodwill, first time I ever went there. I found two Brooks Brothers shirts with tags still on them. $5 each. They retail at Brooks Brothers for about $75.
I was in Manhattan and there was a little cafe/ coffee shop next door to the hotel and they gave change less than $5 in $1 coins. Like if you gave them $10 and your order was $6, they gave you back four $1 coins. I think they did that figuring people would drop the coins in the tip jar.
I get what all of you are saying about the high car payments. I get it.

But, there are some people that want a fancy, high end car as a sought of hobby. I have a neighbor that lives several houses from me. He gets a high end expensive new car every two years. He told me that he has two year leases on them. He said that he has friends that are into fishing that have +$50K boats and they spend thousands every year fishing and maintaining the boat.

He said he considers having a high end luxury car as his hobby. He leases, doesn’t have to worry about maintenance, keeps them clean, and turns them in at lease end and picks out another car. He just got a maxed out Ford Expedition and he is planning to use it in the Spring, driving to visit the Dakotas, Wyoming, and Montana.

I’m not saying it makes financial sense for him to lease instead of buying, but he chooses to lease.

WTF you talking about? There’s no astrology in that movie. It’s about faking a manned flight to Mars.
