My almost 18 year old pays for half his car and half his insurance- I believe you have to give them some responsibility so they can start learning how to pay bills and budget. His 'car note' is $75 and insurance is $75/month.
He also backed into a car a couple of months ago, so he'll have to suffer the consequences of an increased insurance bill when it's time for renewal. I'm not making him pay the full increase, but I expect to pass a $50/month increase on to him.
Definitely shop your policy. We switched insurance when we added him to our policy. USAA was already almost $200/month with just 2 cars/2 drivers, and it was going to double just adding him to the policy. Now with GEICO, it's $1300 for 6 months for 3 cars/3 drivers, not including the above mentioned accident. We'll see what happens with that on our next renewal in August.

Apparently, banks aren't issuing pennies to businesses that come in and get change. That's what I've been told.
The solution is easy- if you pay cash, always carry 5-10 pennies with you. This will get your coin jug pennies back in circulation and give business XYZ pennies for change.
If they REALLY wanted to get my pennies, they should provide some incentive for me to take the time and roll my jar. Bring in pennies, get a discount on your next purchase, or something along those lines. Or better yet, the business can buy a cheap coin sorting machine and let customers use it

Episode 2 dropped tonight. Alzheimers is such a cruel disease.
The pissing contests between residents is REALLY annoying. I hope that doesn’t go on all season. Same with Rabi & Al-Hashimi.
New doctor still sucks, but the AI charting is pretty cool- I bet the drug mistake that Whitaker caught is foreshadowing for something to go wrong later this season.

Happy to see Dana back. I like her character and I’m glad she didn’t quit.
I hope that Rabi and the new doc don’t carry that same dynamic through the whole season- it was really awkward.
The baby’s obviously got something to do with the woman in the waiting room that they kept panning to- I hope they don’t keep us hanging on why it affected the new doc so badly.
All those hands inside that dudes chest :yack:

Buy a small bag of the old food and start mixing new with old a litte at a time over a week or so.
Last time I changed foods, my dogs had the shits for days. They had eaten the same food for 3 years and it was discontinued. It took them about a week to adjust to the new food- that's when I learned that trick. I'll never switch foods abruptly like that again.

Put in all your information and pick a plan. It sucks, but it’s pretty much the only option if you don’t have insurance through your employer.
Better hurry, I believe open enrollment ends at the end of the month unless you had a ‘life event’ that changed your insurance eligibility

re: High school and college rings
Posted by LSUGUMBO on 1/7/26 at 6:47 pm to LSUTANGERINE
I have a high school ring- Mom & Dad wouldn’t spring for a precious metal, so it’s the $99 version. I’m so thankful they didn’t.
My son wanted a ring, but I convinced him to get a watch. I was actually excited to buy him a decent watch- not Tag or Rolex, but a nice watch that he could wear through college and into his first career. Then he INSISTED on an Apple Watch. I tried to talk him out of it, but at the end of the day, it’s his Senior thing, and an Apple Watch was cheaper than the watches I was looking at, so that’s where we settled.
No college ring for me or wife. We probably won’t buy one for the kids, either.

Mastertrack Badlands- 50K Mile Tire
In the past year, I put a set on my Jeep and a set on my kids Xterra. Nice looking tire, 50K mile warranty, no noticeable road noise, and they're right at $200/tire mounted/balanced for your size.

We’re watching it right now, too. It’s got its funny moments and is an easy watch.
I used Great Value Frozen biscuits for dressing this year, and they were pretty awesome fresh out of the oven. I've used Mary B's in the past, but they don't always rise as well. It's fine for dressing, but not so good for breakfast.

So terribly underwatched. I knew Aaron Sorkin couldn’t keep up two shows for long and West Wing was the clear winner, but Sports Night was incredible. I could rewatch it over and over.

I was 21- Drunk drunk drunk. I cooked a turducken and threw a party. We went to Academy to get our championship gear after the game. I barfed in the parking lot :lol: and then realized that one of my dad’s friends was in line about 5 people behind me. I don’t think he ever told my parents

Are these things even necessary anymore? I thought these were to protect from keys/keychains, but cars haven’t needed keys to unlock them in several years. $240 is a lot, but $960 is outrageous, especially if she only keeps them for 2 years- how many scratches is she generating in that time frame?

Be careful trusting youtube repair videos. There are some out there giving terrible advice.
Thankfully, this is an easy fix-literally popping in a plastic piece and snapping it into place. I don’t have the knowledge, tools or confidence to tackle anything too in depth. The last thing I want to do is be pissed at myself for messing something up. I’d rather have someone else to blame.
