Has anyone worked at LGMC and had a bad experience specifically in the ER?? Be as open as you want guys 🫠🫠

Has anyone been to the Hangout Sports Pub in Youngsville? I’m a big soccer fan and especially follow the Portland Timbers (MLS) and Brighton & Hove Albion (Premier League). How is the food and atmosphere? Can I bring my 15 yo son?

Hello folks. I am freshly single and I have questions. I have been an introvert my entire life, and prefer to avoid people, so I know next to nothing about going out

After dealing with a breakup, I would like to dress like a tramp and act like a whimsical fairy. I desire to boogie.

I am not interested in meeting people (romantically), just dancing. Might bring a friend. Where is the best establishment with good music?

Is early 30s too old for a female? I look pretty good, or at least people tell me so, if that matters??

Do I need to be looking at raves? Alternative ideas? Help me find that which I seek

Alternatively, upcoming metal shows are good too; I just always default to metal and was interested in doing some different stuff, namely being y2k Hot Goth Girl

So if you know or can advise, hit me up.

That is not a date request, keep it PG and in the comments, not my DMs.

Willing to travel or plan for BR, Nola and other regions. I prefer quality over quantity.

Does anybody know if anyone rents those 16 ft tall trailers for trash? I'm having trouble finding someone online.

I'm looking for recommendations for a local artist or graphic designer to commission a logo. I'd prefer to work with someone who creates original artwork and does not rely on AI-generated designs.

If you've worked with someone you recommend, please share their contact info, portfolio, website, or social media page.

Thanks in advance!

Edit: Thanks for all the replies & dms! I have reached out to artist I am interested in working with. I will post a different thread if anything changes.

Hey everyone me and my fiancee are looking into having a court house wedding at the Lafayette court house. We are a same-sex couple. Has anyone in here had a queer court house wedding? If so, which justice of the peace member did you use? I want to make sure it is someone LGBT friendly. I am also going to be reaching out to the justice of the peace members today but wanted to check here as well.

Hi hi!

I am a writer finishing a folk horror story about traiteurs and I use some Cajun French phrases in my work. I'm trying to find someone to look over some of the phrases/bits I used in dialogue. I have done a lot of research to try to be as accurate as possible, and I want to be correct on how the character speaks.

It's about an hour of someone's time (which I can compensate for!) and about forty-ish phrases/dialogue bits. The character is from Terrebonne, so if you have any experience with Terrebonne or Lafourche that would be great! DMs would be helpful, as I'm trying to publish this and can't post the manuscript because of that.

Just moved here from Illinois for grad school and I’m really big into board games. I love the way they bring people together and lead to interesting and funny discussions/table talk. I brought tons of mid-weight to light games with me (Camel Up, Bohnanza, Ra, Harmonies, Perudo, Jaipur, Hotstreak, etc. etc… an entire library really) I’m also a pretty casual chess player (700ish rapid elo)

Wasn’t sure if anyone knew of any board game or even chess meetups around the area ? Just looking to meet people who like to chill and play games and have some fun. I speak both English and French (working on Spanish) And if it doesn’t exist really, feel free to reach out and maybe we start our own group. I’m 29 but very open to making friends of all ages; back home one of my best friends is in his 50s.

Thanks !

Hey!!

Is anyone selling their Barbri bar prep books for Louisiana? If so I would like to buy them.

Thank you!

Hey yall, I’m a new mom and had my baby in late June. I’m also new to Lafayette/Youngsville.

WHAT THE HECK DO YOU DO IN SUMMER?

It’s too hot for parks - Moncus and Youngsville Sports Complex - and there’s no real indoor place to walk. If baby was older I could go to Red’s for the pool I guess.

We’ve basically been indoors for 1.5 months, with 5-10 minute walks here and there…

What the heck to do?

I’m looking for advice and wondering if anyone else has dealt with Bumble Bee Boot Company or a similar situation.
My vehicle was booted for allegedly not paying for parking. The problem is that I actually tried to pay. I scanned the QR code provided for parking payment, but the payment system was unavailable/not working. It gave me a message along the lines of “not available at this time,” so I was unable to make the payment.
What makes this even more frustrating is that I’ve tried contacting Bumble Bee Boot Company to dispute the boot, but they seem to be almost completely unreachable.
The email address listed on their page is fake/non-operational. My email did not go through, so I wasn’t even able to successfully contact them that way. I also called the phone number listed on their page, and it went straight to voicemail.
I’ve searched online for other ways to contact them, but there is very little information available. They seem to be almost completely off the grid online, which makes it extremely difficult to dispute the charge or even get an explanation.
Has anyone here dealt with Bumble Bee Boot Company before? If so, how did you get in contact with them, and were you able to successfully dispute a boot?
Also, what would you recommend I do from here? Should I contact the property owner, parking lot operator, city, or someone else? I’m trying to figure out what options I have before paying a fee that I believe I shouldn’t be responsible for.
Unfortunately, I don’t have any photographic or other evidence that the QR code wasn’t working. I’m going off my recollection of what happened when I attempted to pay.
If anyone has dealt with this company specifically, or has had a similar experience where a parking payment system wasn’t working and they were still booted, I’d really appreciate hearing how you handled it.
Any advice on who I should contact or what steps I should take would be greatly appreciated.

Wouldn't it be nice to have our flag in Emoji

Hi I will be visiting Louisiana by motorcycle in October. Any recommendations of where to see zydeco live, or any other suggestions for local food or culture?

Hi everyone! I’m seriously considering relocating from Illinois (cornfield IL not Chicago IL) to the Lafayette area next year, and I’d love to hear about what life is REALLY like there. My family consists of me, my child, & my Mom. (Late 30s, tween, late 60s).

I’m looking for somewhere that feels friendly and community-oriented, has things to do without having to travel hours. I do homeschool my daughter, (normal people, I swear we aren’t weirdo homeschoolers! 🫠) so would also like opinions on if there’s much of a homeschool community there as far as co-ops/meetups for kids.

I’m planning to visit with my daughter to scope out the area in person soon. I realize what’s available now as far as houses for sale won’t be next year. Any locations to seek out or avoid looking while we are there would be so helpful. Google is only so much help.

Questions I have:
-What areas around Lafayette would you recommend for a family?
-Are there surrounding towns/suburbs that you think are better than Lafayette proper?
-What areas would you personally avoid, and why?
-What’s the general vibe of the people/community?
-Is Lafayette a place where you can actually make friends and get involved?
-How is traffic and getting around day-to-day?
-What do you LOVE about living there that someone researching from Illinois might not realize?
-And what do you absolutely NOT love?

I know no place is perfect, and I’m genuinely looking for the good, the bad, and the real. We have had some big personal life changes this year and truly looking to make a fresh start somewhere else. From what I’ve researched, your area looks incredibly welcoming, full of culture, and great food…which I love. Lafayette is one of my top contenders.

If you’d rather send me a DM thats fine as well!

Thank you for your time and any wisdom/advice you have to offer!

Any place that makes chocolate lava cakes (other than dominos)?

Talking cakes and we usually just pick up something from Albertsons, Rouses, or NuNu’s. My daughter sprung this on me today and her birthday is tomorrow.
