    Home buying thread

    My parents were almost double the comp price they were given and the appraisal. Apparently they ONLY go off the house or did. They had a 40x100' finished and air conditioned shop. The lady who bought it for her sister and her husband paid with a check at 100% of askig price. I think the family...

    I think it's dependant on location. Each store/franchise will only do 1/2 the menu.

    I wish I had my medical straightened out. Got the opporunity to buy into a group buying a failed business. He went out of business for the exact same reason I told him he would go out of business 10 years ago. Equipment is priced right and pretty state of the art and it's not movable. He just...

    What do you do?

    I've never worked anywhere that really kept up with it. You got 2 weeks off for a vacation and a lot of guys would just take an extra check. If you wanted off you just took off and the check never changed. The issue isn't really getting paid for time off. But if someone took 4 weeks off at...

    They have continuous blood sugar monitors now. You instert a little deal under your skin and change it weekly. It's not very big like an RFI chip. Then if you are in range the machine monitors your blood sugar continuously and charts it etc...Why they haven't tied this in with the insulin pump I...

    What do you do?

    I've worked with a few people who just like to work, not actually accomplish anything. My last boss and I were on the same page. During my interview he said "We work hard so we can play hard". Take Fridays off if you had got stuff done. Work real long hours during a turnaround and then take a...

    Shit dude I had to cross the I10 bridge in Baton Rouge on the river every day. 30 minutes to go 2 miles. I could see BR from my office and the bridge. Lots of days it started backing up at noon. Only spot I10 from CA to FL goes to one lane is coming off that bridge.

    I'm not pointing fingers at anyone. Just seemed a lot of negatives about work lately in here. I bitch a lot too, but it's just bitching.

    Health Problems

    I'm lucky my mom doesn't take shit from nobody and never stopped pestering. When I was diagnosed with diabetes nobody really knew anything. She didn't stop looking for better "answers" than just stuff a lot of food in a 5 year old which was their advice. We wound up at Tulane and then onto the...

    I knew I was screwed up, but it really hit home when I sat down and listed all the stuff that I've had happen in the last year to tell the doctors this week. Odd stuff. I lost all the hair on both legs but only one side - the outside of both lower legs. My heartrate has always been high...

    Diabetics aren't supposed to drink alcohol for a variety of reasons. One being it's raises your blood sugar quickly and a LOT. My friend worked in the ER as a nurse in the french quarter for years. At mardi gras they would bring in diabetics with a blood sugar of 1600. A normaly person is 70-120...

    LSU Defense caught more balls than LSU's wide receivers. 3 vs. 2. I've seen LSU be pretty run oriented for a long time, but nothing like this. With 4 complete passes last night they are still 9th in the country for yards per play.

    Can you say one dimensional. LSU threw the ball more in the first half than I've seen them throw in several years. 4 completions, none in the second half with zero passing yards in the second half. Shit is not going to fly when they meet a real team.

    Time to bail on Adblock?

    Instead of fixing it because more people block ads, they make ads more annoying and louder and pay off content providers. Someone needs to break the cycle.

    Ad blocking arms race I guess. Everyone got up in arms that apple allowed ad blockers in the ap store. A guy wrote one and put it on the ap store. In a few days it was in the top 10 of aps. He took it down and wrote about it because it was blocking ads on his own site. Duh. I hope it stirs up...

    I guess food truck depends on where you live. The only time I used one was on site in New Orleans building the new hospital. They had a truck come by weekly and I would eat. It was nothing more than a truck pulling a utility trailer with a couple of big cast iron pots and burners making...
