The best place to order a king cake for out of state delivery?

We moved to Athens Ga and just cannot go another carnival season without a king cake. I've never had one shipped before and wanted some input on who would be the best to order from. TIA!

Residential sewer replacement

Hey, everyone! I was curious to see if anyone has any recommendations for a plumbing company to replace sewer lines.

My house has caste iron sewer pipes below/in the foundation. About 30 years ago, the previous owner replaced the line from the house to the city sewer with PVC (had to move from septic to city). That part seems fine, but there are recurring clogs in the part that is still caste iron.

Has anyone had work like this done before? Researching prices makes me very anxious (20k would be getting off light it seems). I am interested in replacement or trenchless lining, so I’d love to hear pros and cons to both if anyone has experience.

USPS Package Delivery

If you were on the thread a few weeks ago about a package taking a week to get between Lafayette and Baton Rouge, you may have seen my comment about my package STILL not moving in the USPS system.

Y’all, it took over a MONTH for the box to go from the front counter at the post office on Perkins across from Perkins Rowe to the distribution center LITERALLY BEHIND IT.

Where do the Techies go? Thinking about doing a weekly meet up at 13 Social

So before I opened 13 Social, maybe 5+ years ago, I knew some IBM employees would meet up at Mango’s on Bluebonnet, or a few would meet up at O.G. Smiling Dog. Is there a place just to talk tech? Not one where everyone goes to hand out business cards. I'm thinking about hosting a weekly meetup on Thursdays. The meetup will be for anyone who wants to talk tech—from seasoned vets to those who are just curious about tech.

Just FYI, I'm a Linux guy (mostly Ubuntu and Kali now) and have been a "pen-tester" and programmer for about 20 years—since Knoppix was a big thing. I'm an old-school LAMP stack guy and can program in a few languages. I also have experience with hardware, networking, etc., but I’d rather be writing code.

Laser Hair Removal

Listen, I'm hairy. And I'm tired of shaving. I'm too much of a sissy to handle waxing (plus they lie and say "it doesn't hurt as bad the more you do it" because yes it does).

I've decided I want to opt for laser hair removal and I'd like to start soon before shorts season happens.

(And look, I want all the hair gone, from my mustache down to the tops of my toes)

Increasingly frustrated that websites don't even have a price range listed and in true millennial fashion I'd rather die than pick up the phone and call around for pricing.

Where have you gone? What did you pay? Were you happy with results? How many sessions did you need (skin type 2 in winter, skin type 3 in summer, dark hair)? Was it worth the money you spent? I want the good, the bad, and the ugly.

  • I did check Groupon, but apparently that's a dying site and only has waxing for the BR and sureounding areas.

Good News - 4th Graders Make Strides!

After years of stagnating nationwide test scores and educational rankings, Louisiana may have finally turned a page. 

The state made massive gains on a closely monitored exam known as the nation’s report card or The National Assessment of Educational Progress.

Did you lose a MacBook Air?

I found a MacBook Air on the side of the road. it's busted pretty good. Is it yours? The serial number is on the back, so maybe the owner can send a dm with that number to verify that it's theirs?

Where to eat/drink for concert at Canes Center

Coming in next weekend for a concert and would like to grab a bite before the concert. Where should we go? Not super picky, but we’d prefer walkable to the venue.

Any place you recommend for cocktails after the concert? We love anything from fancy to hole in the wall cheap drinks, as long as it’s not frat/college vibes.

Y’all have made it very easy for this Texan to help plan a great birthday weekend for my girlfriend so far. Thank yall very much!

BR Liquor License

I have to get my liquor license for a job but everything Im finding online is pretty vague. Do you just go to the office on Airline and fill out a form and immediately get one? Or do you have to take a class?

Birthday Party Venue Ideas

I’m looking for ideas of places to host my daughter’s 9th bday. Preferably a place that can hold 20-30 girls as we don’t like leaving friends out 😬

Things we’ve done in the past:

Brec highland park - Tea Party & a dress up party Mrs. Heather’s Strawberry patch Pinspiration Pool Party Spa Day at Avant Tous Private theater screening Skate Galaxy

Things we aren’t interested in bc we’ve attended too many parties there already:

Trampoline Parks Young Chef’s Academy Once upon a time princess party Surge/Main Event Bowling alley

Would LOVE to find someone who offered a skin care class for the girls!

A few places we are considering:

Lush Bath Junkie Clay throwing at Bellyfire LASM

Hoping there is a fun, unique experience that I don’t know about!

Free/Cheap things to do

I work with a guy with a disability and he doesn’t have much money to do fun things. And I can’t spend my own personal money on him (company rules) Any ideas? We’ve already been to cat shelters, dog shelters, and the library.

Recommendations?

Do yall know of anyone who does live wine glass engraving or painting for a party in baton rouge?

Not someone that does it ahead of time, but someone that can come and customize to what the guests want on their glasses while at the party (ex names).

I’m just looking for a passive activity or favor that I can have at a cocktail party and want to use someone local. I considered a putting green, blackjack table. Any ideas?!?! I want to support local people/companies.
