You may want to take a look at Houston.. it gets a bad rap, but it's affordable and has a relatively good economy, plus i can make it home to NOLA in a little over 5 hrs, or to LSU games in 4.. I'm actually looking for a new gig myself right now, but am getting lots of phone calls and interviews (knock wood that continues til i find something i want.)

I overhear, as they are right next to me, that they are there filing a claim b/c they are crawfishermen. I might be missing the connection here, but how exactly does the oil spill negatively effect the crawfish population or it's sale?
So today I brought in a letter to the claims office the local guy told me to write and three guys walk in to file a claim. I overhear, as they are right next to me, that they are there filing a claim b/c they are crawfishermen. I might be missing the connection here, but how exactly does the oil spill negatively effect the crawfish population or it's sale? If anything the spill helped freshwater fishermen b/c of the lack of seafood from the Gulf increased the demand and thus prices on crawfish and other freshwater fare.
I might be missing the point of how they were affected, but it seems this is the kind of nonsense that has no business in the claims office and keeps people with legitimate claims from getting paid.
Crawfisherman fish fresh water mostly swamps and flooded woods they didn't see a drop of oil. The season can go into June, but again they were not affected like the shrimpers and oyster fisherman.Crawfishermen are suffering mental anguish from being near the moratorium, silly.
Seriously. Isn't crawfish season pretty much done by the time they closed the water?
why didn't you ask them? They'd probably be able to give a better answer than we could. And it might help clear up some of the mass confusion leading/contributing to this whole mess and maybe give you some material you could use as you try and advocate for your own case when you contact/write people
I suppose I could have in lieu of making assumptions. But I don't see what good would it have really done other than give me more fuel for my frustrations, and it might not have come across well had I asked how he had suffered losses.

No. That's not what I was getting at. I wasn't trying to call you out for making assumptions and I wasn't suggesting that you should get in some sort of debate over who lost more and whether or not it was justified, etc

Does that make more sense?
No local bait had to import it...higher costs. The biggest difference between your calim and there is a fuzzy one.
BP's oil caused their loss. You loss was caused by a knee jerk government reaction. There should be a separate fund for people in your situation but who would fund it....not BP they didnt make the government stop drilling.
Its easy for me to say this since I am not in your shoes, but the distriction to me is clear. BP doesnt owe you, the feds do.
ALSO... you dont know if they got any money.
