TCL 6 series and don’t look back…put the extra 2k in your kid’s savings account
Thanks, also curious about how much these jobs make in the GNO area
Wife and I have four kids ranging from 10 to 2. We have an extra car b/c at least two days a week someone helps us get them to school/day care, We call her a nanny but she is kinda just a really great carpool service that is reliable and can babysit when we need her to.

I’m really toying with the idea of paying our nanny (who we pay by the week) out of my LLC as an employee/independent contractor.

Anyone have advice in masking current nanny (no pics) via LLC. Anyone have experience hiring someone full time to help with kids? Just before/after school. .
Almost everyone is offering 0% right now. Take it out as long as you can b/c you'll make more on the inflation.

If not pretty sure Ally and PenFed are offering 1.9 for 60. I have Ford at 0% for 72 mos and a GM at 0% for 36 mos.

Want to build a garage//basketball court

In NOLA area

Ida caused me to lose a ton of trees in my big back yard and because we have rear yard access I’m thinking I’m gonna build a garage and a half court for my son.

Any Recs on designing and building a garage and court? Should I consider one of those prefab like Tuffshed? I don’t really need car storage as much as storage in general.

Surface pro 7, Costco has the whole bundle for $900. Best laptop I’ve ever owned bar none

I just want to point out that this guy lives in the city of Saint George. st. George to Iraq sounds like quite a journey
Need some advice. Have Verizon and IPhone 11’s for me and wife. Can cut bill by $80/mo and get the trade in promo by switching to AT&T.

But I have to pay VZ $1200 to get out of my current contracts (for tablets and IPhone 11’s).

Seems to me that the best deal is always right when the new phone comes out...the carriers try to o get you to flip between them.

Thoughts?

I looked at all of these, and the Ford Expedition Platinum/King Ranch was better and the financing was 0% for 7 years.
Got 2.875 on 30 from First Bank here in NOLA — small closing costs but well worth it. Never moving
I just bought the 65” TCL 6 series and the 55 from costco, outstanding television.
Best laptop I have ever owned. Get it from Costco and you get the whole bundle.

re: Starting Higbee?

Same problem.. Higbee or Jared Cook?
I have one that I carry around with me all the time. I agree that it’s not great in your lap, but really it’s very serviceable. For my work purposes, I am an attorney, I have never owned a better laptop. It’s amazing. If you don’t get it you should get the laptop from Microsoft, I believe it is called the surface laptop 2.

I have always had Macs until this one and I am pleasantly surprised at its functionality.
Gold is a better deal. I will say that the Fine Hotels program with Platinum is awesome. If you book three nights you get the fourth free, serious upgrades, 75/day to spend in room service, other stuff... Friend booked us a room in Chicago using fine hotels and it was amazing.

Costco bundle plus extra warranty
If they are only censoring one side (the anti-Alleva side) that’s a violation of the First Amendment.

2017 MacBook Pro Screen Went Out

Posted by Rev1897 on 10/14/18 at 6:28 pm
Annoying as hell because I didn’t buy AppleCare. Apple wants to charge me $900 to replace the screen. Fortunately I use it as a clamshell at work so it will work for me temporarily until I figure out what to do.

Any idea if a third party can fix it in the New Orleans area and/or how much it will cost?

Honestly, considering going to a Surface Pro. For 1K I can get a pretty nice one. I love my MBP but it’s so expensive.
So I’m currently evaluating my credit card situation.

I have CSR and RR, plus the Costco Visa which I primarily use for gas.

Wife has Amex blue everyday and CSP

I Like CSR but seems like I’m not really using it for much other than food and drink. I am thinking about consolidating to the new Amex gold for both of us and keeping the Costco visa For gas. Thoughts?
If they would file a lawsuit LSU would back down.
