Re-elected Republican Bobby Jindal has recently announced that he will possibly make a run for Governor in the state of Louisiana. He has made several public comments prior to his announcement that he is seeking funds that he was praying about whether or not he would run for Governor again. Out of all of the Louisiana politicians yammering after the hurrica

I hate living close to people. The last apartment we lived in was on the bottom floor. Above us was occupied by three young Air Force kids(I refer to them as kids because all of their actions showed their maturity level). They were doing drugs and we knew it. My wife begged to contact the Air Force base to let them know of our woes. I should have let her. A week later we woke up to the sound of rain, in our apartment. Aparently one of them too

banning cars That doesn't seem all that far fetched since they do pollute the atmosphere. And, all of the petro chemical plants are such a danger even when you overlook the pollution they provide.

I just don't see your point. Not taking advantage of medical advances to further the possibility of life is foolish. I watched a child die. He hung himself and was found with his body still clinging to life. There was nothing left of his brain. He was still given time to be totally sure that there was no hope. You can't predict what might happen. You can't predict the severity of mental or physical disability. The truth is that most of these children die, as I stated be

As tongue in cheek as this article is, claiming that obesity is a victimless crime is wrong. Obese people live shorter lives. They deprive their loved ones of the joy of being in their company for their selfish habit. Obese people put undue strain on an already overpriced medial system. In turn, those of us who choose to eat sensibly and exercise pay a higher price for heath care. Obese people require more resources. This has some measure of a cost to the general publ

Here's one you'll love. The state of Louisiana has banned smoking in your vehicle while it is occupied by a child. What is crazy that is that most smokers I know roll the window down in the car while smoking. Since they can't legally look inside your home it is still ok to smoke there around your children. Most air conditioning systems don't have the ability to filter smoke from the air at the rate a car window would filter the air inside the

Tiny update. Michelle spent the night in the hospital last night. She was having contractions. They gave her some medicine to stop the contractions but that made her heart rate jump. More medicine and observation. They were able to get both under control but they wanted to make sure that all of the meds had run their course and that the symptoms did not return. I don't get stressed about this stuff, although it is hard to be away from her while it happens. I can't wait to get home tomo

I hope she is getting the help she needs. Nope. Even while we were working to correct her issues her parents were telling her that she didn't need to take her medication. The parents took their children back after 10 months in our care. Honestly, I was ready for them to go. If I had known whet we were in for I would have had a very hard

Well whats was the trick and why is it neccessary to do thing like that to top the list. It has been long enough. The issue has more to do with the SQL back end of the forums.

It may be easy to fantasize about what you would do if you were faced with that situation but until you are, well, you opinion is unimportant. My wife and I have had to prepare ourselves for the very real possibility that one or all of our triplets could face sever difficulties at birth. She is 25 weeks pregnant now and last night was admitted to the hospital for observation. She will probably get to go home but had it not been for a quick reaction thi

Was this the fault of the parents? parents can overlook a lot in the name of love. I don't think the parents did anything to make the situation better. They locked themselves in their room on Sundays to have sex all day. I suspect this was not only the time she molested her brothers but also the inspiration. The parents were abusive to each othe

I would guess you would have to be blind to miss the signs of a serial killer. I have read a few accounts of some of these guys and each of them had many of the warning signs. I had to face that fact when my brother in-laws kids were living with us. The girl exhibited 9 of 10 signs of a serial killer at 13. (my sis works for a head doctor) It was easy to see this girl was seriously messed up. She accused her oldest brother of rape (untrue) an

I think your problems had more to do with the location. We have an office in Lafayette and I have seen more of that sort of insanity than I want to there. I usually stay less than a mile from our office and leaving at 5 will take as much as 30 minutes to go a half a mile and take a left. Normally, I tell folks that the people of South Louisiana are some of the nicest people you'll meet. Lafayette seems like the one thing they make sure you don

I adore the names that you and Michelle have picked out! We really toiled over names. We were sure it was going to be two boys and a girl and then we had to go back to the drawing board. We both wanted their names to each have their own significance. My grandfathers's nickname was Tabby so Tabitha is named after him. I don't think there

I couldn't get it to work... must be youtube Roxio VideoWave (comes in the Roxio Suite) is easy to use and doesn't suffer from the traditional MS issues. I had the same sort of issues with MovieMaker too. I tried quite a few of the under $100 video editors before I bought Roxio and found VideoWave to be one of the easiest to use. My first project in VideoWave compiled an entire season of little league baseball. I was working with over 20 hours

We used to have a little Friday afternoon bunch around our office. A few drinks and some really good times. It was great until the loose lips decided to join us and then it wasn't anymore fun.
