The boys really enjoyed hanging out on Freret St. Jackson Square is a must stop. Honestly, if you just stay off Bourbon, unless you are looking for trouble, it should be alright.

@21stamps i think T would genuinely enjoy Jackson Square!!

But here's the deal with kids in New Orleans.... They really limit the things you can experience, in my opinion. Want to go in that shop? No kids allowed. Want to grab some water and use the restroom, no kids allowed in that place either. We went to a restaurant that yelled at us for talking the kid in their main door, because they had a side door for families to enter so the kids didn't walk through the bar area. At one point we were searching for a bathroom for my nephew for a half hour. Which in none year old time is a long time, lol.

He really enjoyed the rock and stone shops though, so if T is into rock collecting, there are some great stores for that. I think he'd really enjoy the streetmosphere too, as there's street bands everywhere.

One of our uber drivers did confirm for you that the city gets decked out in it's finest for Christmas and the crowds should be lower.

Just to defend those "creepy" internet guys... let's have a shout out for those "creepy" internet girls that will readily post personal information about themselves and then get upset if someone responds. It's a two way street. And an easily predictable response. :grumpy:;):)

Oh, hunny, no.

Offering up personal information on social media is not an invitation for creepy guys.

Please tell me you are not saying that by having a myspace, you are asking for strangers to proposition you. As someone who has had men proposition me just because they "liked my name" without any personal information at all, the idea that I deserve it is offensive. So I hope that's not what you are saying. Existing or having a nice name doesn't mean I am asking for attention. It's not really a 2 way street at all, unless I've posted that information and specifically said "I'm open to relationships if you are interested in what you see here." Just like walking down the street doesn't mean I should be catcalled. There's also a HUGE difference between someone saying "I saw your profile and we have a lot in common, would you be open to getting to know me better" and "Hey, your pictures look HAWT, let's hook up." or sending explicit pictures of themselves.

I'm not saying any such thing, but, social media being what it is should have people male or female cautious about what type of information they put out there. You put out your name which is necessary, however, we don't do it here without any problems, physical information, color of hair, marital status, has no reason to be there at all. I didn't say that women (or men) put that on there because they have any desire for attention, what I am saying is the more that anyone puts on there the higher the risk of attracting that attention. You are the one that put in "the I deserve it scenario" as I did not say that at all. I said, that no intention is needed if to much information is shared.

However, that said, there are women and men that are "creepy". If you aren't then it wasn't directed at you or even anyone on this board. Just a part of a discussion not an overall condemnation of any particular gender. I have two grown daughters that I zealously defend at every turn, I am not anti-female even though I have many times in my life been treated like crap from that gender. So we need to just understand that it was a general statement directed at a specific target, not the whole world.

DD has her big exam starting on Monday. She's not really stressed as the new law prohibits schools from using this test as the main factor in admittance, and the results can only be used to raise the advice, not lower it, and she's already got the highest level of advice possible, so for her, the test really doesn't mean anything. But it's still a measure of what she knows, etc. (Think SAT for 6th graders) They did a practice test (last year's test) the last 2 days and she said she only missed 6 questions out of all the components they did, so that's great. The test takes 3 days! She said the vocabulary was pretty hard...she knows her vocabulary is pretty good and even she doesn't know a lot of these words, though she was able to kind of break them down to figure out what they mean. Like, she said one of the words was "expertise" and she saw the word "expert" in there, so she was able to guess the answer based on that. So the REAL test starts on Monday....extra pixie dust, please!! I know it doesn't really COUNT for anything, but she's a perfectionist and she said it's making her nervous that she's not more nervous about this test. She said she doesn't feel like she has a big test coming up, and I said that was good, because it meant that she was relaxed, and she said that was what made her nervous....she shouldn't be so relaxed when she has a big test coming up! So she would appreciate any prayers, pixie dust, positive thoughts you can spare.

Sending ASAP. Good luck to her xoxo
