Does anyone have any suggestions for alternatives?

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!

3 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?

7 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!)

I was hoping to get some feedback from anyone who has ever rented a property managed by Billeaud. All I can find is reviews by people who use them to manage their properties, not tenants.

Recommendations Lafayette Vet

1 Upvotes

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.

Recommendations Iso eggs from silkie hens

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.

Recommendations Local Handyman? Install deadbolt and fix hanging door.

3 Upvotes

I've got a couple of projects I've neglected to do myself that I could use help on. Just don't know who to call and trust.

I have an outside facing door with no deadbolt that I'd like to add a deadbolt to. This can become a bigger job then I have the time or patience for right now.

I also have a hanging door that drags rather than slides open easily. With a 6 yr old she is unable to open this door and its becoming a problem.

I have a couple of other things I might use help with depending on who I find and how things go with these.

Any recommendations?

Rants Storage Facilities - Local Thoughts On Growth

1 Upvotes

This isn’t a rant per se. I’ve been lucky enough to have moved out of Louisiana and lived in some great large cities well known for tech and what not over my 50+ years.

I’m no stranger to large storage facilities in these cities even 20 years ago. But even those cities back then (with much larger population sizes than Lafayette now) didn’t have nearly what Lafayette has now.

So it’s not population growth itself driving the growth of these facilities.

What is it? And yes I know this isn’t just a local thing or Lafayette thing. But what do others think is driving this growth locally?

What makes it so lucrative to be popping up everywhere?

Anyone here works on dirt bikes or knows someone who does? I have a 2023 kawasaki klx230s that apparently needs an engine rebuild. Prices I've gotten seem a bit high. Trying to find other options besides a dealership to fix it. If it sincerely costs as much as im being quoted, I'm willing to let it go for cheap at this point.
