I've never been. I used to wish to go, but my interests have changed and it no longer appeals to me.

"Also, anyone who cuts me off. Especially when I am the only one coming, and after they cut me off, they drive below the speed limit." Ditto...and bicyclists on the roads....and I quote: "Bicyclists, in-line skaters, and motor vehicle drivers must all use and obey the same traffic laws. A motorist must recognize that a bicyclist or in-line skater has the same rights as any another motor vehicle driver." I find that folks on bicycles or in-line skates do not have the "protection" of a car. They are basically a moving target, and if we allow them the same "rights" as motor vehicles, somewhere, somehow, someone is going to get hurt, or worse, end up dead. I've seen too many accidents involving bicyclists who were negligent and took chances and ended up in an accident with a car. And it's the person in the car who is subject to scrutiny, and perhaps a lawsuit. Discliamer: I ride my bike to our local farm market, but the road I travel is a local road with minimal traffic. What I'm referring to are those bicyclists who use our main thoroughfares. That's what bike paths are for. I'll get off my soapbox now ;o)

Both. I enjoy the hype during the game but don't necessarily watch all the hours and hours of pregame stuff. I do enjoy most of the commercials because they show a lot of creativity. For years we couldn't get the ads, only local ads by a car dealership that recently went into receivership - I think DH put a curse on them! But now we get the ads through the digital feed from Detroit.

I hang all jeans/slacks on one side and all tops on the other with a dress or two on the end. Tops (which I have the most of) are hung by color with white/offwhite/light tan in one area, yellow, pink/peach/orange/red, darker tans/rust/brown, greens/blues/blacks. My husband and I share a closet and his side and my side are separated by a hanging shoe holder which has compartments for shoes, purses, ect. I keep the empty hangers in one spot, moving them as I take the clothing off of them. We have a second closet where we store out of season clothing, some on hangers and some on those big covered, rectangular tubs on the floor. Laundry baskets for dirty clothes sit on top of the tub lids. That's pretty much it, I think. We both have folded clothing in dressers as well. Mostly underwear, socks, gardening and camping clothes (old raggedy stuff).

We have a tiny but well maintained zoo here - we went as this was the first nice Friday we have had so he took the day off. It was just lovely, cool enough that all the animals were out and actually playing, one snow tiger was chasing a big ball all over his enclosure, people were taking pictures like crazy. The only thing I missed was all the baby ducks all around the pond, it's still too early for that - I'm going to plan a picnic for us to go back when the baby ducks and geese are out - watching the moms keep them rounded up and well behaved is as much fun as watching the more exotic animals, and these are "just there" because they are natural to our area - :)

Never been, and don't want to. I'm not into swarms of drunk and crazy people.

But ... would I love to visit New Orleans? Definitely!

Never been to New Orleans for Mardi Gras.

No and really no desire to go. It would be interesting but there are so many places I'd really rather go. Even New Orleans at any time other than Mardi Gras.

I'll set by Stoney. I've never been and don't care to go. I don't like being around 1 drunk, let alone a city full. I'd like to visit New Orleans someday, along with some other southern areas.

I have been through New Orleans lots--born and raised in southwest Louisiana. I would love to visit there but not at Mardi Gras--we had our own town celebrations where I was from and I loved that--everyone knew everyone and it wasn't as crazy as New Orleans.
Must go buy some new dog biscuits for the doxies--so they can appreciate them today!! Sheila

Never had the desire to go to New Orleans for Mardi Gras. I don't do crowds either...especially drunk ones.

I would love to go any other time though.

I think I'd enjoy Mardi Gras except for the crowds. I've never been, not even to the one they have in St. Louis.. which I think I heard yesterday will no longer be held.

I went about 23 years ago. Ate great food, especially at Commanders Palace where Emeril himself was the chef. It was very crowded, I wouldn't want to go now.

No, but I have been to Galveston during Mardi Gras a few years ago. Loved it. I would like to visit NO but not during Mardi Gras. I have had King Cake when I lived in CA. Our boss was from NO and had a King Cake shipped in every year. Whoever got the baby in their piece of cake was supposed to pay for the cake the next year.

Haven't been to N.O since I was a child and I wasn't impressed then because every place we went to eat it was fish, fish and more fish. I don't eat fish! I remember I ate a lot of cole slaw. lol Funny what kids remember! lol

I wouldn't like Mardi Gras, I don't like people in masks and I don't like being around drunken people and I don't like crowds, so a crowd of masked drunks is OUT! lol

I was in Louisianna about 10 years ago and really enjoyed it. NOT during Mardis Gras, that would be the least time I would go.

We stayed in the French Quarter, and enjoyed fabulous food and music. The Garden District is so gorgeous.....

Have been to NOLA several times and I love it. Have never been during Mardi Gras and don't really want to go. I'm like so many of the other posters, crowds and drunks don't really appeal to me.

No, I've never been. Although I think it could be a ton of fun, I really, truly dislike being in crowds of drunken people, so I sincerely doubt that I will ever experience Mardi Gras first hand.

Many times. Live just a stone's throw away from N.O.
The way to go so that you are not right in the crowd is to book a room way ahead of time at The Bourbon Orleans. That way, you don't have to fight the traffic, crowds, or be mixed with the crazy drunks. You watch it all from a balcony, and talk about a show!
New Orleans is an awesome place to visit, but just as any big city, you have to be careful where you go.

I have not been to the Mardi Gras but have stayed in New Orleans, my husband used to attend electronics convention there. I didn't care to go to the convention center so I just stayed in my room and read. When he got back we would drive around and sight see. I am sure it isn't the same anymore.
