90s hard body trucks with the 4cyl and 5 speed stick shift are as reliable as reliable gets Still have mine i bought in1999. It’s a 97 model..270k. Drive it a couple times a week.
A buddy had one in high school- we went out and got DRUNK DRUNK, and I had to drive home the next day. The clutch on that damn truck was so tough- I couldn’t get used to it.
I got my 18 year old a 2012 Xterra because I was sure that it was the same platform as the Frontier that would run forever. So far, so good- it’s got 130K on it and has been a great vehicle for him by so far. My hope is that he can get to at least 200K on it

In 2 seasons, I’ve never watched the credits- have I been missing things like this the whole time?
I really need one more episode to tie things together. It was another great season. Digby with Whitaker’s badge was funny- random way to solve that puzzle, but I’m glad it was lighthearted.
re: Providing the Hepatitis B Vaccine at Birth When the Mother Doesn't Have Hepatitis B

you don’t think your child will be sharing drug needles, they never need hepatitis B vaccine
I bet there are a lot of parents of addicts that never thought their child would be sharing drug needles. You never plan on your child becoming a drug addict, and if/when they do, I bet that recommending the Hep B vaccine to their addict children is the last thing on their mind.

The idea is to invest contributions and let it grow not to use them for your diabetes medications or for a yearly eye exam
In a perfect world, yes. But in the real world, not everyone can stash $8750 and cover medical bills at the same time. Just being able to pay medical bills tax free is a benefit for most Americans. The idea that it's investible and can be withdrawn tax free at 65 is a HUGE benefit, but not attainable for a lot of us.
FTR- I was able to open an HSA this year for the first time, and fortunately, I am able to fully fund it and keep it to invest for this year. I hope to be able to do that next year as well, but we'll just have to see how things go.

Don’t be ‘too good’ for jobs. I’d bet that your local municipality has jobs open- trash man, custodian, etc. They may not be your next career, but they’ll provide salary and benefits in the mean time.
I just had this conversation with my wife last night- I’m not above flipping burgers if it came down to it and that’s literally all I could find.

re: What's the longest you can generally tolerate riding in a car?

We did 13-14 a couple of times. The VW Atlas is GREAT on long road trips- plenty of room in the front and middle rows, and lots of cargo space. Small gas tank and below average MPG (18 gal, 16-17 mpg) makes it not as desirable around town, though.

That was it….wow. What a weird arse ending. I have no words. I’m pretty disappointed
Check local banks/Credit Unions- my kids have accounts that pay them $25 every 9 weeks they bring in an A/B report card. I know Chase has one that’s connected to your account, too, but I’m not familiar with any benefits it might offer

They have great fast food burgers but the price really just isn't worth it. I probably only go once or twice a year
I’d much rather get a $14 Baconator combo than a $22 bacon cheeseburger from 5 Guys. Not quite the same, but close enough for $8 less.

re: Shepherd's Pie

Our version growing up had some combination of green beans, peas and/or corn mixed in with the meat. Dad never liked it, so we didn’t have it that often :lol:
I made a dish inspired by Shepherd’s pie with diced sweet potatoes on top instead of mashed potatoes. Maybe it was more of a hash, but it was delicious nonetheless.

I seen somewhere if passed the state would lose $10M a year in revenue.
If I'm not mistaken, the $6 sticker cuts out the $4 that the service station received, so they're losing $10MM in revenue, but the state will still get theirs.

Looosiana Bistreaux inside Red River Billiards has the best Poboys in Shreveport/Bossier. He moved from south Shreveport to the Bossier side right by the Brookshire's arena.
Doesn't pay his bills or his taxes- over $500,000 in Judgments dating back to 2024 and several other outstanding law suits that don't have Judgments yet. He's a real POS.

I read some comments from Bill Lawrence on Twitter this week and he said they stuck to the original 3 season plan for the finale and will tell “a completely new story” next season. He assured the cast would all return though.
It wrapped up pretty nicely overall- I guess the Dad story line just vanished just like Dad did, which was probably the point. Things eventually return to normal, only to upset the apple cart when he inevitably returns.
I wonder what 'completely new story' will be told in 1 season? I guess the possibilities are endless.
Such a great, wholesome (mostly) show.

Also has a newer restaurant on Youree that serves both their BBQ menu and a Mexican menu. I forgot about that in my earlier post. Both menus are really good- the 'queso' on the Mexican menu is basically the Au Gratin sauce.
Ki Mexico for Tacos
Marilynn’s Place for poboys. Great patio and great beer selection during this nice weather
Fat Calf for upscale
Fat Tuesday’s downtown or in Bossier for sandwiches/salads
Bodacious Bar & Q has pretty good BBQ.

We need age limits on politicians.
I think this is the hard lesson that we're all learning right now... so many professions have mandatory retirement ages- Why is politics not one of them?
Side note- I noticed last night that on my May Election Ballot, Constitutional Amendment No. 5 is to change the mandatory retirement age for judges in Louisiana from 70 to 75.... NO

Not a bunch- just the same Playgirl spread.
I don't think I would want to watch if I had gotten spoilers- part of why it's so good is watching it in real time, then getting spoilers/feedback later.

ll I said was white sauce is not a wide spread thing until recently.
I had never heard of or seen it until Newk's opened in Shreveport back in 2009. If I had to guess, I'd say that's where most people's exposure outside of Alabama came from.
I wouldn't dream of using white sauce on ribs and definitely not on brisket.
