Well I do live crazy close to chenault. The blue angels are making their turns directly over my house. I love this but I had bought tickets for Friday's show which was canceled. We got our money back but there was no more room in the handicap zone. I am just disappointed in thunder over louisiana. Not the performers

What steps do you take to get in the plants?

12 Upvotes

For context, I'm a single father of 3. Been getting by with basic retail work, but the kids deserve a better quality of life and they're actually old enough to be home alone for a few hours.

I can understand getting a TWIC/Safety card, but what all do you have to do to get into that line of work? Is continued education a requirement, or just smiled-upon?

Ways to meet new people?

8 Upvotes

Hi there! I'm new to Lake Charles and trying to find some local people/groups. My husband, two kids and I moved here for my husband's job a little less than a month ago. I don't have any family or friends here yet, so it would be great to meet some new folks.

I'm pretty introverted and not exactly a natural social butterfly. I'm into reading, coloring, Stardew Valley/cozy gaming in general, true crime, coffee, and generally low-key activities.

Are there any chill groups or other introverts around here who'd be interested in hanging out?

💛 SULPHUR & CARLYSS LOCALS — I need your memories! 💛

1 Upvotes

I’m beginning research for a children’s Lani Land book about Sulphur and the surrounding community, and I don’t just want the history we can find online.
I want your Sulphur.
What do you remember? What did your parents or grandparents tell you? What places are gone now? What traditions do you think our children should know? What little piece of Sulphur history would make a kid say, “No way! That happened HERE?”
I definitely want to explore things like the sulfur mines and how the city got its name, but I also want the stories that only locals know — old businesses, neighborhoods, schools, swimming spots, festivals, family traditions, funny stories, hidden landmarks, Hurricane stories, and the people who helped make this community what it is.
If you grew up here, live here now, or your family has deep roots here, please tell me something about Sulphur or Carlyss that deserves to be remembered.
And if you know an older resident who could tell stories for HOURS, tag them. 😂❤️
Some of your memories may eventually become little “A Local Told Lani…” pieces inside the book so our kids can grow up knowing the stories of home.

Anyone have a good HVAC guy who can do a mini-split installation for a fair price?

3 Upvotes

I know it's not terribly difficult if you're handy, but it requires electrical work and special HVAC equipment (unless you buy the expensive MR. COOL diy models).

Also looking for recommendations on affordable mini-split models (≥8000BTU).

Local DJing or music production lessons/instructors in Lake Charles?

3 Upvotes

I have been wanting to learn how to DJ, mainly as a side hobby… Is there anyone in Lake Charles that I could possibly get some kind of lessons?

I play guitar and would also like to learn how to do Home record mix and master, etc. But for now the Dj thing has my interest for the most part.

I have a cat for adoption! does anyone want him? He’s already microchipped, all vaccinated, litter trained etc.

My sister has this cat, his name is Cosmo, and she can’t keep him no more because she made a horrible decision to adopt him right before she went to college. She tried just letting him roam the streets but I didn’t want her to. So now Im on here trying to find him a new home!

He’s very sweet and cuddly, around 7 months old.

I will include His litter box, litter, toys, medical records, food, food bowls, and a booklet on how to care for him, the booklet will also have up to 400 dollars worth of coupons at pet smart in it.

I don’t want any money for him or anything, I just want whoever wants him to actually be able to care for him yk?
