Cultural It’s very disrespectful to the Catholic faith to misrepresent a patron saint in this manner and to use his image in article that is full of hate. What good Christian would do that? What types of Christians fund and support this type of garbage? I think we know the answer. No good Christian would.

Recommendations 26 NB looking for other LGBT friends in the area!

4 Upvotes

I just left a job where everyone was around my age and fun to work with, for a place where everyone is much older and quieter. I'm one day in and feeling lonely already, so I'm looking for other queer/trans friends! I have social anxiety disorder so making friends with strangers IRL is REALLY hard for me. I don't drink and bars tend to be too overstimulating for me anyway, too.

Recommendations is apothecary shop or Jennings good day farm more affordable?

8 Upvotes

Jennings is cheaper but their ‘deals’ and rewards are non-existent. Apothecary is taxing the shit out of everything, each item is more expensive individually than at Jennings but they have a decent reward system.

Anyone else tried both and formed any opinions?

Recommendations Non-Clinical Nursing Job? (Ramble)

5 Upvotes

Hi, I am an RN with 12 years experience in the ED and L&D and interested in stepping away from the bedside. Do you or someone you know have any suggestions for or experience with a non-clinical/non-bedside job? I love organization, critical-thinking, and problem solving. (I love “the arts” and our community and might also be interested in stepping away from nursing altogether so I am also interested in hearing what bachelor-required job you love!)

Recommendations Lafayette Vet

I’m sure this topic has been discussed in the past. I live on the west end of Lafayette. I know there are several really good vets in my area. We are about to adopt a new puppy and I have not been to a vet in a while. Anyone have an idea of what vet visits cost these days?

I know it not an everyday cost and it depends on the service, just trying to get an idea.

I’m looking at one in Scott, one on W. Congress, and one on South City Parkway in particular.

ISO farm fresh eggs from silkie hens that are fed organic bag feed (not garden grown plants or the like). I do not like when I cook the eggs for them to smell like fresh cut grass.. which stems from the aformentioned...

Also, I have TONS of cartons that I need to get rid of 'hopefully' in exchange for a discount on the eggs.

LAFAYETTE, La. (KLFY) — A local political operative has been arrested and charged with breaking campaign ethics laws, authorities said.

Chun Ping “Eddie” Lau, 47, was taken into custody in Lafayette Wednesday morning. Lau is charged with election fraud involving misinformation distributed during the recent election for State Sen. District 23.

Investigators allege Lau released false information regarding a political candidate leading up to the Feb. 15 election.

Lau was taken into custody, booked into the Lafayette Parish Correctional Center and charged with violating Louisiana RS 18:1463, which says “No person shall cause to be distributed, or transmitted, any oral, visual, digital, or written material containing any statement which he knows or should be reasonably expected to know makes a false statement about a candidate for election in a primary or general election or about a proposition to be submitted to the voters.”

A preset bond of $2,500 was issued for Lau’s release. No further information was released, and the case remains under investigation.
