re: "America should have been art deco"
Posted by Shorts Guy on 5/6/24 at 10:37 pm
Art deco was definitely a keeper. We should get back to it. The architecture was really something. Some of the furniture was pretty ugly, however. ...
re: Covid Ruined a Shitload of People
Posted by Shorts Guy on 4/28/24 at 11:32 pm
Ruined me but not in a mask wearing sense. Just totally effed up my routine that I’d worked so hard to build that had literally saved my life circa ~2010. F Covid and F every dummy that bought into lockdowns. ...
re: Bigfoot- Believe or No?
Posted by Shorts Guy on 4/28/24 at 11:13 pm
I lean towards yes. Probably not living in the woods around here. But you get up to the North Woods of Maine, Parts of Canada, Alaska…so remote, who tf knows what’s out there. ...
re: Do You Feel Like You Made Your Parents Proud?
Posted by Shorts Guy on 4/28/24 at 11:02 pm
I won’t say it’s something I ever thought much about. Just kind of assumed and took their approval and support for granted. I think they are proud of all of us. But I know they worry a lot and that sometimes factors into our decisions about how much to share with them. End of the day, as long as my ...

Super legitimate point. Square footage costs more today than it did in the past. Less room for that piano, etc. ...
re: How sentimental are y’all?

My parents have a steamer trunk from my grandmother’s house. When opened, it still smells like her house…all these decades later. It’s sad and a big rush of amazing memories all at once. ...

[quote]While true, often times memories are strongly attached to “stuff.” I’ll come across something in my closet sometimes that literally takes me back on my mind to when I was younger and bring back all those memories. Seems like the connection to some of those memories wouldn’t be as strong witho...
How sentimental are y’all?
Posted by Shorts Guy on 4/28/24 at 10:09 pm
Kind of a soft question, but I went to an estate sale this weekend and was kind of floored that these folks’ survivors (I know they had several children and grandchildren) were prepared to just scatter all this (very nice and presumably heirloom) stuff to the wind. I know I’m more sentimental than t...
re: LA. Supreme Court Rules in Favor of St. George Incorporators
Posted by Shorts Guy on 4/26/24 at 10:52 pm
Very pleased to hear this news today. Although I live in the city of Baton Rouge, it was BS that these folks weren’t being permitted to incorporate. Laughable. Glad their legal rights were upheld. Will be better for EBR in the long run. ...
re: Most Appealing US Accent?
Posted by Shorts Guy on 4/22/24 at 4:43 pm
For me it would be Central Virginia—think Richmond, Lynchburg, Charlottesville. It sounds southern, but a more refined southern dialect and less harsh and twangy than what you find in Georgia, Alabama, etc. East Texans speak nicely as well. ...

re: Slowest Housing Markets - Louisiana has 3/12
Posted by Shorts Guy on 4/20/24 at 9:17 am
I don’t buy into these clickbait lists. Another one from a few weeks ago had Houma/Thibodaux as the slowest. I didn’t click the link, but it’s a good chance the data is at least two years old and from a time when South LA was reeling from storms and the tail end of the pandemic. Half the homes for s...

Bill Maher is definitely not the worst guy around these days. One of the more intelligent Democrats with a platform these days. Takes guts to disagree with the crowd and he has done so quite a bit in the last decade or so. ...
re: Who here has a problem with pronouns?
Posted by Shorts Guy on 4/20/24 at 9:06 am
Doesn’t affect me. Don’t have any kids in school to worry about all this stuff confusing them. If they/them want to be identified differently, it’s all good. Doesn’t hurt me so none of my bidness. Just don’t expect everyone else to adjust everything on your behalf if you identify as something non-st...

[quote]neighborhoods losing value[/quote]
Which neighborhoods that weren’t already garbage 30 years ago are losing value? Most people’s answers will be the ones that flooded dramatically in 2016. That is what rocked the value, not crime. If you look at neighborhoods in BR that are south of Florida ...
re: Nola Four Seasons on the ropes
Posted by Shorts Guy on 4/18/24 at 2:43 pm
It will be figured out. They’ve sunk too much into it to let it fail, and too much has gone well to accept it as a total flop. Hotel occupancy is average and will get better as the Super Bowl approaches. Meantime, they’d be wise to lower their prices to be more competitive with their competition. T...

This. The Bosch has been excellent so far. 3 years in and love it. My parents are on year 20 of a whirlpool. Worth noting that their fridge and range are also whirlpool and still going strong after 2 decades.

re: People who went from nice older home to newer one
Posted by Shorts Guy on 4/17/24 at 9:47 pm
The difference is all in the timber. A house built before the 60’s was probably made with old growth wood that’s much harder and heavier. You’ll burn up drill bits like crazy in a house from the 1920.
On the other hand, if those older houses haven’t been well maintained, there are a lot more po...

[quote]People like this just don’t exist anymore[/quote]
If I was of a certain age I’d consider it. If you’re in your late 60’s in back in 1912 like Straus…you’re on your way out anyway. Why not go out together if you actually still like your spouse by that time. ...
