re: Which Car Rental Company

I have been using Costco for car rentals. They allow an extra driver for free. I almost always choose Enterprise Even if they aren't the cheapest. My last 3 rentals have been brand new cars. Customer service has been great.

I have been here several times since 2004. It's always a fun trip. So much so, that I sometimes come even when the Tigers aren't here.

I dealt with Ascension credit union the last 2 years my parents were alive. I wouldn't recommend them. Customer service was dismal and the technology wasn't great. This was 2021-2023

I love Long Beach Market and Deli. Taco Sombrero is a great fast food Mexican joint.

I have property in Tennessee near Chattanooga. Last time I was there wearing an LSU shirt, I got a "geaux Tigers" outside the restaurant. No chirping from Tennessee fans ever.

Tennesee is where I'll be. Last year we bought 25 acres in the tri-state area. Have a purchase agreement on another 10 acres nearby with a small home on it. We love this area.

Flew to Puerto Rico on December 18th and returned on Christmas day. Finding a gas station to refill rental car was a little tricky on Christmas morning. They don't have pay at the pump and lots of stations were closed.

The trip was amazing and I think we will go somewhere tropical every year for Christmas going forward.

Sorry about your loss. Sounds like you're a good daughter

Thank you. My siblings and I all pitched in. I'm glad I had the ability to move nearby and help them.

Why do people feel they must live in BR because of family? We left BR and all our family was there. One by one they all moved too. It took us leaving to show them how nice other states were. You get one life. One. Don’t waste it by living in a shitty city.

I felt compelled to live near my parents when their health deteriorated. They are gone now and so am I. I've lived in other states and knew I would leave again. I didn't feel it was a waste of 4 years. You think I wasted years of my life taking care of my parents? There is more than meets the eye in any given decision. I didn't ask for life advice; just advice on neighborhoods.

You should have let them talk you out of it
apparently.

FYI I moved to BR to be near my parents because of their health issues. They are both deceased now and I moved as soon as I figured out where to go.
