Hi,
Today during a very important meeting the side of my house was knocked on.

Causing all my dogs to go insane and ended in me having to cancel the meeting to see who this was and I lost 800$ in revenue because of this.

I want to sue them. I have 3 no soliciting signs and all of my entrances to my home are fenced in and unable to “knock”. This is because I work from home and do not want to be disturbed with garbage like this.

So it’s a religious solicitors an African American woman and white American man, I’ve seen them at festival with their brochures and in front of rock and bowl.

I called police to find thier identity and they referred me to permits dept for city which said they do not allow religious permits.

Does anyone know what church they are affiliated with ?

If your local crematory had mushrooms eating the cooler? Like if your mawmaw was in a cooler with fungal friends. Would you want to know?

ETA: mushrooms grow inside to outside. So the cooler foam is becoming high grade, organic, eco mushroom foam slowly but surely

Just asking cause the funeral homes don't seem to care, and I am pretty sure the funeral board is a good ole boys club from what I heard

Btw this same crematory has had to call the fire dept a few times, because the hydraulic lift they called a PC repair guy to fix isn't working, presumably because hydraulic lifts are not computers

Anyway without this $30k+ piece of equipment it can be easy for small people to get a decedent stuck in a retort run too hot for too long. Makes the floor uneven

Anyway I was considering doing a small writeup on the industry since I am sure I am blacklisted locally anyway for aggressively following rules, but I don't want to be a mortuary influencer or some bs

So, if people actually want to know then I probably have a few unsavory details I could collect and properly write up because imho they materially affect you guys

Also word on the street is over a year ago an funeral director bugged a funeral home. Including woman's bathrooms?

I can't say which one and risk libel/slander/etc nor am I detective so I can't exactly investigate that myself, but I will say the person in question has a history of controlling/surveilling/subtle info gathering behaviors in general

Anyway I meant for this to be a short post but apparently I had a couple things that have been bothering me

I'm going to be in New Orleans in March of 2027 and would like to make a dream literary pilgrimage to New Iberia to see James Lee Burke sites. I've been reading his books -- my favorite author -- for almost 40 years. My challenge is to find a driver from NO, preferably someone who can narrate the countryside along the way, then the same or more likely a different guide in New Iberia who can take me around to all the sites. Then of course a driver back to NO. My plan is to do this leaving on Friday afternoon, staying overnight in New Iberia, then back to NO on Saturday evening, so I can fly out Sunday morning. Any tips on how I might manage this trip -- finding drivers and a guide, where to stay, etc. will be very much appreciated.

I only remember the English part, but it's something like

Little bird, little bird come to drink

This one saw him, this one shot him

This one cleaned him, this one cooked him

Then we ate him alllllll up!

I had an aunt that would say it in French, as well.

Anyway, please share if you remember the French words or can offer insight.

Hi everyone! My 21st birthday is coming up in the beginning of June and I’m struggling to plan something. I want to do something I couldn’t do before (i.e. drinking), but I don’t just want to go to a bar. Are there any shows, cool venues, or anything fun to do near the beginning of June in Lafayette/surrounding area? Thanks so much in advance!

I just early voted, and I noticed that the house election candidates are still on the ballot. You will still select them but they "don't count", according to the election commissioner. Maybe I'm being paranoid, but something feels off about this. Perhaps there was just not enough time to remove them from the ballots or could it be that someone wants to know who the winners might have been to give an advantage when redlining. Whoops meant "redistricting".

Edit - Upon further investigation I found the following statement at the SOS website. SOS statement regarding ballots for the house. The last line discloses the the fact that the ballots would not be updated. This, unfortunately does nothing to assuage my doubts.
