      Tru-oil in Baton Rouge?

      I'm re-finishing an old rifle stock and was curious if anyone knows where tru-oil may be stocked in Baton Rouge, if anywhere. Thanks!

      Baton Rouge area General Practitioners/Family Medicine

      Thanks for the input. I'll keep her in mind if I expand my search out to Walker.

      Baton Rouge area General Practitioners/Family Medicine

      I'm looking to change Primary Care doctors and am looking for some input for who the BSers in the Baton Rouge are use. I know you can get on healthgrades and look up reviews, but I'm looking for anything else you can offer. How likely am I to get an appointment within a couple of days, would I...

      Anyone know about the blossoming trees in south LA?

      Not a dogwood...looks like it's probably a Bradford Pear. I didn't know people had much success growing dogwoods this far south. Do you have experience planting them?

      Anyone know about the blossoming trees in south LA?

      I believe that's it! Didn't realize they were such a pain in the a**.

      Anyone know about the blossoming trees in south LA?

      Posting to "off-topic" for visibility. Around BR there are a ton of medium-sized trees that have white blossoms that bloom this time of year. They're all over the place...yards, boulevard medians, parking lots. They're deciduous, a bit larger than a crepe myrtle, with a single, large trunk...

      Negotitating for a new car. How far below invoice is the price the dealer pays?

      You misread....3-5% over invoice. I recently found out Ford offers X-plan pricing for my company, which less than 1% over invoice (I saw it) and I can get the rebates on top of that. Ends up knocking about $8.5k off MSRP.

      Negotitating for a new car. How far below invoice is the price the dealer pays?

      Sorry to dig up this old thread, but I had a thought. I'm shopping around for a 2013 model truck still on the new lots right now. If I were to take the "3-5% over invoice minus rebates" approach, would the invoice they show me be the original invoice from 2012? How would I account for the car...

      Education in EBR Parish

      According to the grades that came out most recently, I think Central was on-par with Ascension. Not as good as Zachary but better than LP.

      Glad to hear that. There's a lot of money in AP, relative to the population. The more I hear from people I ask these questions to, the more I realize that the private schools around here aren't great and certainly aren't a guarantee that your child will be a genius.

      IMO, no doubt, if you could get exactly what you want, no risk involved, I think the magnet/gifted schools are the best Baton Rouge has to offer. We'd have ours on the magnet/gifted track in EBR if it were a safe bet to get there. The best option for me is probably to use the grandparents BR...

      Education in EBR Parish

      With a three year old starting pre-K next school year, my wife and I are looking into our options for schooling. We were a bit pro-active and built a house in Central (we're both from Central), so that the worst we can do is Central public schools. We considered moving into BR (or using a BR...

      Leave the kids at home!

      There are plenty of parents out there who seem to take for granted that some kids respond to discipline much better than others and perhaps they just lucked out. Sure, they'll have to whip their kids and put them in time out and they feel like hard-ass parent's who have this discipline thing...
