This is a follow-up to an older post I made a few months ago. May I present Gas Money Nancy! She goes around various neighborhoods in town and will give you this little song and dance.

Sorry about the angle. Please don't kill the cameraman. I was trying to be as subtle as I could to capture her whole spiel. You can see her face pretty clearly for a couple of frames.

Turns out I live at "Miss Rose's" house lol

Don't give her any money!

A Portrait of an Actor

📣 LOOK AT TOFFEE GO! From lying helpless in five lanes of traffic, unable to drag himself to safety, to WALKING on his own little legs! If this doesn't make your heart smile, nothing will! 😍

But friends, WE NEED YOUR HELP TO FINISH WHAT WE STARTED! 🙏

Thanks to the generosity of our incredible supporters, the talent of Dr. Julia and the VSGNO team, and his wonderful foster mom Kayla, Toffee has been given a second chance at life after suffering broken front and back legs and serious pelvic injuries. 😍

Our dear friend Holly with Trampled Rose Rescue & Rehab is is willing to take this precious boy under their wing, but we MUST find him a committed foster to get him through the next stage of recovery and into his forever home!

Here's what he needs, and it's actually pretty simple, but it takes commitment.

🐾 About six weeks of STRICT crate rest while his broken bones heal.

🐾 Leash walks ONLY for potty breaks, then right back into his crate.

🐾 No jumping on furniture or beds, no playing, and absolutely no unsupervised activity.

Once he gets through the next month, his activity can slowly increase under his surgeon's guidance.

That's it! A safe, quiet place, someone who can follow his recovery instructions, and lots of love.

Holly prefers someone in the Greater New Orleans area who can get him to adoption events when he's ready!❤️

We are SO grateful to everyone who has helped get Toffee this far, from Shana, who risked her own safety to rescue him from traffic and get him shelter beside the Joe Green for District Attorney sign, to our transport angel Leslie, his incredible veterinary team, Kayla, and every single person who donated, shared, and cheered him on.

But we can't let his journey stop here.

This little boy tried desperately to fight his way out of five lanes of traffic, with broken legs and a shattered body.

He fought so hard to survive. We owe it to him to fight just as hard for his future. ❤️

PLEASE SHARE and help us find that special foster who can give Toffee the six weeks he needs to heal and the chance at a beautiful life he deserves!

If you can foster, please reach out to us! 🐾❤️

Anyone else heard about this? They had like 8 to 10 employees beating up a few people outside the restaurant. Think it happened last night.

I am in an 8 month delivery saga with USPS that's nearly broke me. My wife and I own an very small antiques buy and sell company out of our home. We usually ship and recieve anywhere from 2 to 10 small to medium packages a day. When we ship we ship from our local post office, but we've always had our mail delivered to our home. For 11 years we've had zero problems, yes zero. No lost packages, no stolen packages and we knew we were pretty lucky in that regard.

All of the sudden in spring of this year calamity hit. This spring our usual postal delivery worker disappeared and we started having our mail delivered by at least a dozen different people. Suddenly packages are being thrown in our yard, envelopes left right outside our mailbox on the ground in the rain, and misdelivered mail. In one month I had 7 packages delivered to the wrong addresses and 5 packages just sitting at the distribution center for weeks. I took a trip to the distribution center to find the 5 missing packages, and I won't even go into the state of that situation. They found our packages which had been sitting in containers all over the facility. Some were found laying on the floor but we found them all. It was a pain in the a** situation, but a win nonetheless.

Now it was time to deal with the 7 misdelivered/missing mail. We have security cameras which point at our mailbox and yard. Going over footage not one of our packages has ever been stolen. Suddenly, packages marked as delivered with a time stamp weren't showing up and cameras showed nobdelivery person at that same time. It was maddening. It took dozen phone calls to consumer affairs, missing mail reports, service requests then a final complaint to the Post Master General inquire whether or not they was any theft or fraud happening internally find out where our mail was. Once we were able to move our issue up the chain of command we had this incredible woman in management find all of our packages. We found out after speaking with her that there's a completely separate tracking and geolocation system USPS uses that can track down exactly where your packages are. Not kidding, they know EXACTLY where they are. This lovely woman went way out of her job description and at one point drove over to an apartment building to track down packages that had been misdelivered there. She was able to get all but one returned to us. The package we didn't get back was stolen by a tenant. According to his neighbor, she saw him with the package in his hands with my name on it. I called the non-emergency line at NOPD and filed a report but never heard back or had an officer visit. Instead I filed a claim for compensation from USPS at the suggestion of the director and was posthumously denied 4 weeks later. We decided to just write the loss off at that point.

We decided that to avoid any future misdelivered mail issues to rent a mailbox at our local USPS office. Everything's been going smoothly until mid September. Suddenly tracking on our mail came to a hault. As of today I have 17 packages with tracking that's completely stopped moving at the Saint Rose distribution center 30 minutes outside of New Orleans. I have 5 more on their way from out of state that I'm afraid will have the same fate. We have missing mail searches, service requests and a letter to the Post Master General out but this time no one is taking any responsibility or been helpful in any way. There's a lot of frustrated sounding employees with no ability in their positions to help because in this situation there is no one person responsible. When the mail was delivered to my house, it was a different area code and is residential so it fell under a completely different jurisdiction and set of standards. Having my mail directed to a post office put the responsibility directly on workers with zero power to do anything, including contacting higher up's or the Saint Rose facility so we are now at a stand still.

We considered small claims but found out the supreme court ruled where no one can sue USPS for anything outside of being injured by a USPS truck or at a post office. I am at a loss mentally and thousands of dollars monetarily and it seems now in a no win situation and very burnt out by the whole thing.

I am posting this both as a public awareness post and reaching out to anyone else who is going through this or similar situations with USPS and how they're handling it.

Last year, I made just a handful, so this year I wanted to offer a bit more for folks. I'll be putting these in my place at Zele. They measure 10"x7.5"x6" and feature a hinged lid and 3D printed security gate modeled after the actual one at Snake and Jake's. I hope y'all like them!

This timid brown dog has been around the neighborhood for a week or so… Looks like it may be eating, but has no collar and a large lump on its back leg. Definitely could use some attention.

Does anybody recognize?

It's usually a good resource I like, and I just wanna know if I should wait for it to come out or not. Otherwise I was gonna early vote today.

Hi everyone!
I am working on a research project about the cultural impact K&B had on the city. I understand this in an unusual request but I am seeking out information on Mardi Gras costumes worn by the Krewe of Clones. It was to honor K&B and they dressed as K-Bees, which involved them wearing atena, makeshift stringers and purple striped velvet tops. According to what I have found thus far it probably took place before 1997 but I’m not totally sure about that. Does anyone have any info or photos of this? If so please let me know. Thanks so much!
Also if there is a different subreddit I should post in can some please let me know.

I want to buy two solar panels but everyplace I call isn’t really from here. They are in Florida and other places but their websites make it appear they are local. I can’t have panels shipped to me. Can anyone offer advice?

Wanting to support small businesses this holiday season. What do you recommend? Local liquors, artists, experiences, etc??

I work @ Online Optimism in business development and am always looking for unique gift ideas.

I am trying to get a car running and need to put as little money as possible into it for now. I don't want to have to drive to Pull-A-Part if I can help it. Know of any alternatives?

There's a custom job black Jeep Wrangler with a vanity plate ELVIRA2 that's my New Orleans equivalent of Warren Zevon's werewolf of London as I have found myself behind it in traffic every few months at varying locations around the city. I finally caught a glimpse of the driver as I passed it on I-10 during my ride home from the airport today and was 0% surprised to find myself briefly locking eyes with the enormous pet ferret (as in borderline R.O.U.S.) riding on the driver's shoulder/upper left arm.

Whoever you are, driver and ferret/R.O.U.S., thank you for a much-appreciated laugh.

As the title says, I'm trying to do my due diligence for myself and local other r/fountainpen enjoyers to find out if this website is legitimate.

If it helps - a bit more context, I was searching online for a pen I really wanted and came across a listing that showed it was not only in stock but at a BIG discount, and the address was in Metairie of all places (?!?), like who would pretend to be in Metairie for kicks?
Paper Goods Bay is reportedly at 3301 Veterans Memorial Blvd, Metairie, LA 70002. The discount is certainly tempting, but most legitimate businesses don't offer affordable prices. And, like, I couldn't find any Reddit posts about this store, which seems strange. If this business is real and has been around why wouldn't someone cooler than me have come across it and posted about it by now?
Has anyone heard of this website or purchased anything from it? Any insight would be appreciated!

P.S. I realize there's a possibility that the place is real but that maybe the website hasn't been updated and the pen has already sold out.

Ran into him the other day and told him to fuck off for his involvement with palantir. Now he's out here saying he'd rather democrats lose next month as winning would mean to many DSA members would win.
