re: How would your family and friends react if you began interracial dating?

They would probably be fine with an Asian, would make a few snide remarks about a Latina, and would probably lose their shite over a black woman....

re: Insurance- how long to make a decision of a wrecked vehicle is totaled?
Posted by BillyOceans11 on 3/27/24 at 9:34 am
Just went through this, although not this bad. Didn’t really see movement until we got an attorney involved. Even so we were at about 50 days when they decided to total it, and about 70 when we finally agreed on the value. Finally got the payment at the 90 day mark. Ours was a bit more complicated a...

re: City you plan to be buried in...city you were born/raised in or current city with spouse?
Posted by BillyOceans11 on 2/16/24 at 10:14 pm
Wife no longer in the picture (divorced, sorry no pics) but I want to be buried here where my children are growing up. It is the only place I've ever lived that felt like I belonged.
Grew up around Baton Rouge. I hate going back in life and sure as hell don't want to in death. ...
re: Anyone do volunteer coaching for youth sports…does it ever get better?
Posted by BillyOceans11 on 2/15/24 at 12:56 pm
I did it once. Same situation, but slightly older boys (11-12). I agree with what others said: set the expectations early for both the kids and the parents.
There is always at least one parent that is an issue. Just the nature of the beast. In my case it was a parent not happy about where his kid...
re: Did anyone watch Channel 5 (all gas no brakes) recent video about crossing the border?
Posted by BillyOceans11 on 2/7/24 at 9:20 pm
Agreed. Something seems off. I seriously doubt the Border Patrol is tracking a group of five guys along the Mexican side of the border and setting up this ambush but larger groups are making it through without issue. ...

re: Don't You Miss The Blockbuster Days?
Posted by BillyOceans11 on 2/3/24 at 7:20 pm
It was always fun to browse the shelves of an independent video store that had been around for a while. Blockbuster would get rid of videos after a while that were no longer popular, but a lot of independent stores would keep those older and/or obscure movies.
Streaming today is just frustrating...

Dealer license plate frames - why?
Posted by BillyOceans11 on 1/27/24 at 6:11 pm
I don't understand why anyone would leave the license plate frame from the dealer. Do they like their car dealer that much as to give them free advertising? Does a license plate look that bad without a frame around it?
The dealer's frame went straight into the trash once I got my plates in. Some...
re: Brushing, NY consumer protection describes international marketing scam
Posted by BillyOceans11 on 1/16/24 at 8:02 pm
TLDR: A seller sends crap to you using an account they set and then leave a review on said product to boost their rating score. Recipient isn't charged for it so the only victims are the people who read the fake reviews.
Thought this was happening to me a month ago. Got several Amazon packages a...
