re: Small business credit card recs? - LSUlove
Consider the Amex Plat and Amex Gold. Gold offers you 5x points on shipping plus one other of their business categories. Plat has a ton of perks. I have both for my businesses and take in over a million points each year. ...

re: Dry January Success - LSUlove
[quote]It’s sad that I’m having to relearn this, as if my life before drinking sucked. The best four years—Tigerband—I attended every LSU game sober and have the best memories of my life from those days…. 100% sober (besides the random party or night out, I wasn’t a big drinker or party girl at lsu...

re: Dry January Success - LSUlove
[quote] I don’t want to be a “dry” evangelist but the longer you go without drinking, the more you realize how alcohol has got to be tied to everything we do in our lives these days.[/quote] If this isn’t the truth, I don’t know what is! I find that as long as I have something, anything really, ...

re: Dry January 2023? - LSUlove
[quote]Who still hasn't had a drink this year?[/quote] No drinks since Christmas night. Feeling great, sleeping well. Only get cravings when at places with friends that only serve beer and wine. 3 hours at a place like that this weekend, but held strong. Definitely extending this through Febr...

re: Dry January 2023? - LSUlove
18 days here as I started the day after Christmas. Down 3 lbs and sleeping great! Considering extending past January. Not nearly as difficult as I thought and I also bought a few non-alcoholic wines and canned drinks to take with me if we are hanging out with friends so it doesn't become a "thing...

re: Antelope Canyon recommendations? - LSUlove
We did Antelope Canyon X this past summer. Got the best of both worlds as it’s two canyons on the hike. One V shaped and one A shaped. Found it to be much less expensive than the traditional Antelope Canyon. Some of the pictures we got were amazing! I can never figure out how to post photos, but th...

re: Tracking kids and stuff with airtags? - LSUlove
[quote]Anyone else use these things on kids and expensive tools?[/quote] I put Airtags on each of my younger kids for our trip to NYC a few weeks ago. My biggest fear was them somehow getting lost in a crowd on separated on the subway. Never had to use them, but it certainly gave me peace of mi...

re: Dry January 2023? - LSUlove
[quote]margarita on the rocks[/quote] If this is something you want to continue long term, look into to some non-alcoholic spirits. I know Ritual has a tequila substitute and Monday has a Mezcal substitute. This way you can still enjoy a "margarita" with similar flavors but without the alcohol....

[quote]Hilton Resort Bell Rock [/quote] We went this summer and stayed there. I second Mariposa. Amazing food and views. Budda beach was fun, but may be cold. Hikes will be great all around. Hilton offered stargazing and there was a nice Italian restaurant in walking distance just down the hill f...

re: Anyone have brick floors? - LSUlove
[quote]Installed tile in the kitchen that looks like brick. Not porous, so no issues with on- going upkeep like real brick. Looks 100% like brick, and much cheaper to install.[/quote] I have the same. Looks same as this. There are different styles though. We love it. [img]https://i.pinimg.c...

re: Dry January 2023? - LSUlove
I'm actually doing this as well. Started the day after Christmas though. Trying to find some NA wines and mocktail recipes to enjoy if we have people over or when I get home from work and want to sit and chill with a cocktail. Hoping I can turn it into a lifestyle change. Not that I drank th...

re: Suggestions for Ski Resort - LSUlove
Thanks everyone. Looks like Park City is pretty unanimous. Any suggestions on resorts? I know someone mentioned a Marriott. When I say legit ski-in/out, I mean we can walk outside of our place, put on our skis and get to a lift. Not cross a street, walk 500 ft, etc. We have had both in the pas...

re: NYC Subway - LSUlove
[quote]This turns getting from one part of Manhattan to the other into a 1+ hour ordeal that will cost well north of $150 for 6 people.[/quote] My thoughts exactly.

NYC Subway - LSUlove
Anybody been recently and used the subway? We head that way in a couple of weeks and had every intention of using the subway as a mode of transportation, especially considering we are staying near the Brooklyn Bridge. Along with my family, we are traveling with my parents and in-laws (age 60's) an...
