I'm back in school right now for interior design. I know that sounds like good money, but not where I live. When I'm done I'll be making about the same salary I make now, which is not much. Maybe in 15 years I'll make something like 50% more than I am making now, maybe more if I turn out to be...

hahahahaha!!! sounds like me! My grandmother would make all these frilly little dresses and I'd scream and yell that I didn't want to wear them, then I go out and get them all dirty. Didn't like my hair fooled with either, so eventually my mom just had it all cut off. I was OK with that.

I was raised by a very young single mother and my grandparents, aunts, uncle... My mom was the oldest of her siblings and she was not old enough to work when I was born, so when I was very young there was not much of an income for a household of 7 people. My grandmother is a seamstress (yet I...

:lau I know!!! I was freaked out the first time I went in there too! It's strange, I don't ever eat in anymore. I always get my food to go because it just doesn't feel right in there. Crazy to not want to eat in a restaurant because it's clean! But the veal parm still rocks! :drool You know...

This is kinda what I had in mind and there is a good space for the coop and run behind my garage. I can have up to 5 chickens where I live (that's what I heard. I'd still have to check it out). Even if I could just get 3 I'd be happy for now. My larger dog I think I can train, but that little...

What I accomplished today: trellised the peas, replaced the cucumber and tomato I lost to the storm this weekend as well as the squash I lost a couple weeks ago. Can't plant them yet with the ground still so saturated, but hopefully they will go in the ground in a day or two. staked up the...

Well what do ya know! I grew up as a Violation myself. What a small world. I grew up a couple a blocks of off Colonial. After the storm (13 weeks after!) I got married and we fixed up his mom's house in Chalmette. Wow, you worked in Norco and drove out there from here. And I complain about...

Hi Sunsaver, we got a good bit of rain, way more than my garden needed. I just finally checked "The big garden" and all of my corn is laying down. I lost one out of the 9 I had planted. I lost a tomato plant, one out of 6. and 1 out of 4 cucumber, so really that is not bad. Getting ready to go...

SS - sorry to hear about the new leaks. hope you can get those patched up quickly. We are doing fine, though I haven't checked my big garden yet. I'm afraid to go out there and look at it. Will have to do it though. We did fine. We live in upper St. Bernard inside levee protection. I'll journal...

Hi kOxxx and Snapshot- glad to see there are some people familiar with my area. Hope you are making out OK with this storm snapshot. Beanie - thanks for the welcome. The humidity isn't too bad if you are used to it. I grew up here, so I don't notice it as much as people who move or visit here...

I'm not a great cook, but I can get you a good recipe from someone who is. Give me a couple a days. It's some one that I work with.

As promised, a post about what a Yat is After Hurricane Katrina there was a rebirth in the pride of anything uniquely New Orleans, including our unique accent. Some people may think that in New Orleans we would sound southern, like people in Atlanta, but we don't. Not at all. We sound more like...

1. What state/province/country are you in and what is your climate like? I live in southeast Louisiana, so our climate is pretty much subtropical. In other words hot and sticky. But, the longer growing season is great. 2. How many people are in your family? Marital status? Married. Just...
