@LeeZurik gave compelling testimony today against SB482. Let's get rid of this bill, #lalege. @heathercloud

Forced my new medic partner @lance_sanes to get on #medtwitter after he paused mid call to say “I have a paper to send you on this”

Welcome, nerd :)

"Remain vigilant"? What are people supposed to do, build a damn around their property?

Hi, ER Doc here.

RT if you’ve ever done CPR on someone and they survived.

Trying to prove something.

Everyone needs to watch this video in its entirety, and then send it to your friends and family immediately

So, I spoke to people getting food at a food bank and here are some things I learned from those in need:
1. Everyone donates Kraft Mac and Cheese in the box. They can rarely use it because it needs milk and butter which is hard to get from regular food banks.
2. Boxed milk is a treasure, as kids need it for cereal which they also get a lot of.
3. Everyone donates pasta sauce and spaghetti noodles.
4. They cannot eat all the awesome canned veggies and soup unless you put a can opener in too or buy pop tops.
5. Oil is a luxury but needed for Rice a-Roni which they also get a lot of.
6. Spices or salt and pepper would be a real Christmas gift.
7. Tea bags and coffee make them feel like you care.
8. Sugar and flour are treats.
9. They fawn over fresh produce donated by farmers and grocery stores.
10. Seeds are cool in Spring and Summer because growing can be easy for some.
11. They rarely get fresh meat.
12. Tuna and crackers make a good lunch.
13. Hamburger Helper goes nowhere without ground beef.
14. They get lots of peanut butter and jelly but usually not sandwich bread.
15. Butter or margarine is nice too.
16. Eggs are a real commodity.
17. Cake mix and frosting makes it possible to make a child’s birthday cake.
18. Dishwashing detergent is very expensive and is always appreciated.
19. Feminine hygiene products are a luxury and women will cry over that.
20. Everyone loves Stove Top Stuffing.

In all the years I have donated food at the Holidays, I bought what I thought they wanted, but have never asked. I am glad I did. If you are helping a Family this Christmas, maybe this can help you tailor it more. It does for me!

Being a Saints fan means not getting excited over a 21-0 lead bc you know better.

NOPD just did a sweep of Bourbon and ran off all the street performers and tarot readers. Gave out citations if they resisted. Very weird.

@RNSuperHero A baby in the NICU got covid so they’re testing all the staff that took care of the kid and wrote up those who tested positive. Refused to test the parents/visitors of said child bc “we don’t want to point fingers”

@nolatechie When I was a server I would specifically tell tourist places to go that would be far away from me that night. And never give up any neighborhood secrets. Ever!

@TheNolaChick Best of places to avoid

@_thehalparker Showering and brushing my teeth are my main concerns

[Marielle @TheNolaChick]

Speaking of the saltwater thing, this is from 1988, The Times-Picayune. I figured it would be helpful.

[Tommy Buns @ultratommy89]

@cabrasted I have seen anything specifically address whether or not it’s ok to shower during this event. I assume if you’re not drinking the water it’s ok?

@Gizmo2cent When did potato salad in gumbo become a thing? Am I missing something 😂
