re: Chapelle vs Mt. Carmel

Posted by AllsGroovn on 4/25/24 at 1:32 pm
All 3, Chapelle, Dominican, and Mt. Carmel are good schools, it all depends on which is the best fit for your daughter. Mt. Carmel is the largest, and most competitive in all aspects. Intense school spirit. Almost "Sorority like" - with cheers and themes, costumes, etc. but the girls love it. ...

So what is the difference, tax wise, on a gifted vehicle vs. one that has a bill of sale for anything less than the value of the vehicle? ...
A family member wants to give a car to my daughter (under 18). I have not done this before, is it better to process the title as a gift or sell/buy it for a minimum amount of money? What would be best for taxes, etc. Thanks in advance....

DJ on a Cruise Ship out of New Orleans. Sailed to Cozumel, Grand Cayman, and Jamaica weekly for one summer in college. Played music on the back deck during lunch/mid-day and the night club from 11pm - 3 or 4am. Great summer - met some great people, had a blast. This was the late 90s, so not e...
Maturity level is more of a factor than age. The kid should be able to identify the difference between fantasy and reality. Important for your sanity, will the movies cause them to have nightmares and come running to your bed. Start them off with Ghostbusters, Star Wars, Marvel movies, then m...
Increase cost of claims, employees, labor, etc. due to an increase in EVERYTHING. In order to have enough funds to cover expected losses, premiums have to increase. It sucks, but it's how it all works....
Played saxophone for the last 35 years. Wow, I should be way better at it after all that time. :lol: Was "forced" to take band as a 5th grader and loved it, played in high school, played at LSU in various bands. Played in various groups around Baton Rouge, New Orleans, Gulf Coast, etc. Don't p...
No matter how responsible the kids are, they won't take care of it like you would. The most financial sense would be to get them a used car that gets good mileage with relatively low maintenance costs (if such a thing exists today). No matter how good of a driver they are, it will get wrecked or ...

re: The Cajundome is pathetic

Went to LHSAA Volleyball state championship games at Cajundome the last two seasons. Horribly managed venue. Closed concession stands before the Div. I teams even got to play at night. Parking, bad. Not enough employees. Huge arena, but it wants to host small events. Volleyball state championshi...

Even if Bama lost the SEC CG, FSU still doesn't get in. It would have been UGA, Mich, Wash, Texas, with Bama and FSU on the outside. FSU is NOT one of the top 4 teams right now. Don't care what happened in Aug or Sept., Top 4 teams at end of the season, and FSU is NOT one of them. Did you watc...

Quite a few years back, I worked as a claims adjuster for a major insurance company, specifically in totaled vehicle valuations. Ask for a Market Survey. The "Blue Book Value" isn't accurate on a month old car. Ask their adjuster or do it yourself, find 3 or 4 like kind and quality vehicles. Average...
