re: LASIK eye surgery in BR

Posted by BilbeauTBaggins on 4/26/24 at 11:14 pm
One of the Williamsons performed mine. And by performed I mean numbed my eyes, gave me Valium, and had a machine shoot lasers into my eyes for a few seconds. ...
Why do you want to think about that?...
[quote]Welcome to the club baw….. your choice to live where you live[/quote] Yes. I chose where I wanted to live based on a lot of things. This absolutely derails my plan unless we somehow annex into the city. "StG incorporation" was never on my bingo card when buying this house. ...
[quote]Here, Cleggs recommends dumping river shite, excuse me, silt, into your lawn.[/quote] I've called before and they said they don't recommend doing topsoil but instead (as you said) river silt and only when they have it available. I don't understand why? Also, isn't river silt completely dif...
Daycare for us is $11k/year (food included) not including diapers/wipes, but add that it's for 52 weeks and not just from September - May. Easily justifiable. Again, I am torn on all of this. The city could've saved itself if it were not for horrible leadership. StG absolutely tried to do some s...
[quote] imaginary boundary isn’t going to make that big of a difference[/quote] Take the home we have now and the land surrounding and I'm going to have to pay nearly triple for it in any of the states I'd like to live in. Not to mention finding new employment (not the toughest but a pain nonethele...
Mine is still in daycare. This really wouldn't affect us much until maybe middle school (ideally elementary). I can justify spending on private school at the earlier ages, but there's no way I can fathom the idea of sending my kid to private high school with the price of tuition in EBR. It's outrage...
[quote]Glad people are trying to improve their neighborhood and take control over their own city instead of just moving to a suburb.[/quote] I mean, this is essentially what I'm going to be forced to do. I'll see how this plays out over the next few years. This has drastically affected my long term...
Welp, time to find out how to annex our neighborhood in. We're a block from the StG boundary border and I would rather not have to move to another state to give my family a better quality of life....
[quote]City will be incorporated immediately and the city parish budget will changed to reflect areas within St George, meaning unincorporated areas and the general fund shrinks immediately.[/quote] I mean, don't you still have to figure out the city utility/FD/PD/sewage plans before this all happe...
With the city of BR losing all this money, I wonder if BRPD is going to have to become part of EBRSO completely now....
[quote]I look forward to low taxes[/quote] I wouldn't say you'll have lower taxes, just taxes better spent. I'd rather that than cheaper taxes to go to nothing....

re: Smalls Sliders

Why does this come up so often? Sliders are fine. Not my cup of tea. Too much bread, not enough meat. ...
We had a friend who we refused to go out to eat with. Whatever was on the menu, she would ask to make several changes to it. 9 times out of 10 it got sent back because it wasn't EXACTLY how she wanted it. Like holy shite, just eat what's in front of you. It's the restaurant's menu, not YOUR kitchen....
I like watching the ones in FLL and MIA because they get a lot of traffic. You see some pretty cool stuff. There are a few air shows in the area that come through and you can see some awesome planes. Even saw a stream where the President was flying in. Pretty cool to see Air Force One fly in....
We painted our house with a layer of Kilz primer before putting on a coat of paint over our break. Not sure if OP has just unpainted brick for their home....

I've had ZERO in EBR. Might need to relocate to a spot better hit by the sun?...

Gonna miss you JD5 :geauxtigers: [img]https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/001/465/188/0b4.jpg[/img]...
Might have to look into this. Plan seems to be this: Thursday - late lunch/drinks as early group arrives. Friday - AM round of golf; lunch & drinks; at-home hibachi; go out; Saturday - no AM plans (maybe that booze raft if it's available);night plans TBD...
