Need plumber recommendations please

Without getting into the whole story, I will just say that we had an issue in our home with the laundry drain not draining correctly. After a HORRIBLE, very unprofessional experience with roto-rooter, that resulted in them tearing up the foundation in our laundry room and costing us an ungodly amount of money, we still have the same issue. 🤦🏼‍♂️ Looking for recommendations from locals for an honest, skilled, reputable plumber. Thank you in advance.

Places to donate, not to resell?

TLDR; moving after 15 years. Lots of used toys and books the kids have just aged out of. Most local charities want new-in-box or just cash outright. Anyone got a spot that this stuff could potentially do some good for kids?

I can sort the junk myself, not looking to pawn a mess off on anyone.

I'd like to avoid donating for resale, if you catch my meaning.

Boudin in Northwest Acadiana

I am not saying this to start conflict or drama, but I've not hand any good boudin in Northwest Acadiana, particularly around Eunice/Mamou/Ville Platte area. I've not had any boudin to be seasoned much, if it all. I am not saying I want it spicy, but give me something other than the rice and pork.

I stopped at a small place today called the Quick Stop just outside of Mamou and it had no flavor; I quickly called my friend who recommended me and asked them if they tragically lost all taste buds when they were younger. It was definitely jam packed with filling, but there was no flavor or seaoning to it.

Other places that I know I've tried out there are: Mel's Quickstep (a coworker brought some in) and the Mowata Store, neither of which I remember having much flavor.

Just because I am sure someone will ask, here are three of my favorites: Kartchners, Nunu's, and Hebert's Boudin and Cracklins.

Self Defense Classes

Okay y'all were very helpful with the CCW classes question, my new one is if y'all have any recommendations for places that do self defense training or anything in that category.

At the Port Barre Cracklin festival...

I expected at least one of the kings of cracklin to be here, like Don's, Billeauds, Best Stop or Nunus to be here. Nope.

Looking for Christmas party ideas for a small office of about 10 people. Preferably daytime but open to nighttime suggestions also. Activity and/or food. We did Bougie Bar and lunch downtown last year and we've done Top Golf and Escape Room as teambuilding activities recently.

Looking for a roommate ASAP

I'm 20, female, looking for a roommate in my two bed/two bath apartment. Your rent would be 540/month + half of the electric. I have two female cats, very sweet, I'm very clean with them, no smells. The apartment is at maison bocage on marie Antoinette street. The lease ends in May. I need a roommate ASAP, my current roommate can no longer afford to support themselves. If anyone's interested please let me know, I'd like to meet first and talk in person before I agree to anyone.

News for local politics?

I'm looking to follow good journalists/reporters for local news, especially those that pertain to city/parish/statewide politics? Trying to curate my news to focus more on local stuff. I will also take other recommendations than just journalists/reporters as sources for good info.

How's the food at La Esmerelda on Ambassador, next to Chabille's?

On their website, it looks great. I haven't been there, but they call themselves a supermarket, so I assume it's take-out only.

Baldwin placing speed cameras on US90

I drove through Baldwin heading back to NOLA after Festival Acadiens and apparently passed a speed camera. Thing is I pay attention for the signs warning of speed cameras and saw none on that trip. Anyone else get a ticket from Baldwin??
