Hi! I'm 27 and I've been baking for years, for birthday parties, family events and holidays and I always get encouraged to sell my baked goods. Baking is one of the only things I really love to do and I'd love to do it for a living but I'm worried I'll put a lot of time, effort and love into something just for it to fail. Would there be enough demand to make it worth it? Just looking for some opinions! Thanks!! 🖤

Don’s fried shrimp is like crack to me but I know that I’m probably missing out on other places too. What’s your favorite? Also bonus question: Who has the best hush puppies?

Will be passing through Lafayette in a few weeks, pondering hanging out for a few days. Music, food, drink? Nothing too fancy. I like old buildings and industrial sites. What should I check out? Thanks for any help and suggestions!!

Hi, I recently moved to the Lafayette area and I am looking for some tax services. Does anyone have some recommendations? I don’t want to go to any big tax preparation chain companies.

I just sent this to a friend, and decided it’s time to take to social media, lol I need help! Is it just me??/// Here’s the message: I’m looking for a church with the spirit dude, and I need friends so bad and I’m tired of being quiet about it lol, I’m used to being super social and since I’ve moved to laffy and started following Jesus I’m so isolated and my few friends that I have really suck to be honest. It’s killing me. Sorry to unload that on you but I’m growing desperate, I was praying for a friend and then you hit me up, so yeah idk I need help to be completely honest I am so alone 😭

For context: I’ve tried the mega churches, the spirit isn’t there. I’ve tried almost every church on Google in my area, the Spirit isn’t there. It’s all coffee drinking, relaxed, unbothered and lukewarm believers of Jesus. I am used to being a little mini-influencer in Baton Rouge, being able to choose from 10 different options of friend groups to hang out with a NIGHT. I deleted it all and decided to follow Jesus when I met Him, and I don’t think I would have had this isolation problem in Baton Rouge tbh. Or maybe I would’ve, I don’t know. But since I’ve moved here two years ago, I’m dying inside for a group of people who just want to hang out, not drink, (I still smoke the 🌳), and just be a good friend group like I had before. Or even just ONE GOOD FRIEND. I’m desperate, so desperate. Any pointers? Anyone want a baby Christian friend? Lol not kidding guys help me I can’t handle it anymore!

I know I miss the library being open on Sundays.
Do they ever discuss this? I wondered if they could reduce hours on other days to bring this back? Some people, like me, only get Sat and Sun to run errands.

I am visiting Lafayette and want to bring home some authentic boudin, andouille, and cracklins. I am near the airport and then will be traveling east on I-10 tomorrow (Sunday). Any recommendations?

Looking for any recommendations in Lafayette or Abbeville . . LT’s is our go to but figured I’d see if there are any other places we should try.

TIA

I mainly work in the Lafayette/Youngsville area, and I was interested in trying a couple of Asian restaurants that aren’t buffets. Doesn’t matter what type of Asian, nor does the spice level matter

Hey guys! I have a friend looking for a bartending job. Does anyone have any recommendations of places I should send them to apply to that are hiring currently? Thanks in advance!

Heard some hollering, maybe 7 police cars showed up. No ambulance or anything like that. I assumed a bar fight or something, but I was wondering why there would have been so many police with sirens and stuff.

I have used HelloFresh for a few years now. Living in TN, never had a problem with delivery dates Monday through Sunday was no problem. Moved to Lafayette a few months ago, earliest delivery is Tuesday and latest is Friday. 3/4 of the times it does not show up until Wednesday.

Anyone else have this issue? Any better similar services available in this area?

any usps workers in here that could please give me some insight? i’m a small business owner/artist who dropped off 10 packages in the blue usps drop-off bin on saturday january 18. as of today, only 2 of the 10 packages has been scanned in the system and has had any recorded movement. all of the others are still saying “usps awaiting item”. i know there was MLK day and then the snow that caused a delay so i was hoping to get some insight about what’s going on before losing all hope that my packages are lost (which would be a huge loss for my business). i’m assuming that if some were scanned in, perhaps the others were in the same batch and not far behind? but i really have no idea how this all works. this was at the moss street location. if anyone has had a similar experience lately, feel free to chime in. thanks in advance!

Hi y’all, I moved to Lafayette almost 3 years ago. I love this place. It’s one of the most welcoming places I’ve ever lived and I’ve lived in quite a few places now. I really feel at home, but unfortunately tragedy has hit my family and I have to go back home to Oregon to support of my niece and nephew. I’m leaving this wonderful place I’ve called home and I’m mourning the loss. More importantly I’m scared to death because I have a wonderful 1 year old pit bull that’s sweet as a button, a three legged tabby that was a rescue, and my senior family cat tabby that I can’t bring with me. I need to find them good homes. They’re inside cats that are all litter trained. The dog is potty trained, but she is a wanderer so I have to keep an eye on her. Honestly, I don’t know what to do. They’re my little fur babies and I love them with my whole heart. I’m just not financially in a spot that I can travel 2400 miles with them and I HAVE to get to Oregon to support the family. If anyone can help, even just some advice. I would appreciate it. Please message me. Thank you 💔

Hello! My name is Bridgit, and I am a member of the Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma and I attend a tribal college in Kansas, where indigenous issues are a huge topic of discussion.

I am conducting research and looking for interviewees for climate change among the coastal and gulf regions of Louisiana and how climate change is impacting the federal and state-recognized tribes of Louisiana.

What tribe do you belong to? Do you belong to an unrecognized tribe? How has your land changed from the time you were born until now? What policies and/or laws impact your tribe/land? How has your culture changed as a result of climate change?

I have many more questions, so if anyone is interested please sound off in the thread.
