I'm also looking to break out the smoker this weekend, I am relatively inexperienced though, so any recipes / step by step instructions would be great. Saw this a while back, not sure if it has been posted lately:

This is what I am strongly considering, I am just wondering what kind of hit if any this will have on my credit rating. If it's a few points, no big deal to me, but if knocking out an 11 year line of credit is going to gouge my rating, I'd like to know ahead of time, not worth saving $15. I am completely ignorant in the ways of credit, hoping some of yall that do this for a living can let me know what I'm looking at.

Anyone else ever experience this?
Yesterday when I took my wife to dinner, I had a case of this, and I was wondering if I am the only one. Here's the situation:
About 6 pm, not very many people there yet. My waiter is responsible for my party of two and a party of four, the other waitress in the section has 4 tables. We sit down, about 5 - 10 minutes later the guy shows up to take our drink orders. Order our drinks and an appetizer, ask the guy about the specials / dishes we had in mind, he tells us "they're all good." OK, but not quite what I was looking for, we order anyways and go about our business. Meanwhile, the other waitress is flying around her tables, keeping drinks filled, offering suggestions, and smiling the whole time. Needless to say I was thinking at the end of the meal that I wish we were in her section. I know people have bad days, but our server just seemed very disinterested, especially by comparison.
How about anyone else?

I need some advice on how the following situation will affect my credit score, sorry if this has already been covered before.
While checking my card activity for fraudulent charges I noticed that I was charged a $15 annual fee, so I went to the bank and asked one of the reps there about it. She said that card had always had a fee associated with it, which I disproved by showing her by account history for the past 3 years, none of which had an annual fee charged. I was then basically told that there was nothing they could do about it short of signing me up for a new card, and voiding my old card. I've had the card for 11 years, I got it straight out of high school and have never missed a payment. What are my options and how will they affect my credit?
I'm tempted to cancel the card, the interest rate is not the greatest, no rewards, and with an annual fee now I can do much better, I am also a little put out by the way my query was handled. However, besides a few short term loans (3 - all paid off within a year), a mortgage and a car note, my credit history IS my card. How will this affect my credit score if I close out this card and open a new one with another bank? I've often heard that your score heavily depends on your longest line of credit, besides this card that would be my mortgage I started 5 years ago. Just a point of reference my average credit score was 790 last I checked a few years ago.
Or am I just over reacting to all of this and should just suck it up and pay $15 a year? I just think it's BS that all of the sudden I have to pay for a card I've had for 11 years. TIA, sorry for the long post.

No worries there. Has anyone ever eaten at Jazz'd before? I've looked at the website and I am still not quite sure what I am looking at / what exactly a Tapas Bar is. Jazz'd Tapas Bar

I thought about that, but this would more than likely be a one time thing for our group, and the cards expire in August. I may go again with my wife before then, but not enough to make the card worth it for me personally. The Mon-Thurs thing makes it difficult also, it's usually too much trouble to get everyone together during the week, this week being the exception. Thanks though

Hey guys,

If anyone has a 50% coupon that is good for this Thursday for 5-7 people I'd appreciate it. Looking to go celebrate my bday there but I did not realize the bday coupons are only good for myself and 1 guest. So if anyone has a coupon they aren't going to use, let me know.

"Texas has a whorehouse in it" ... Pretty much any dolly parton movie.

Also the Team America World Police song

No shite? Is the hornet diner in Sarepta, never heard of it but I usually don't venture to far from Cotton Valley / Minden when I visit. I'll have to swing by next time I'm up that way. :cool:

Man, that was almost 2 months ago, this isn't the OT I think we can let it slide. While I'm at it, I've got another one to share.
When I was about 11 or 12 I did most of my hunting on family land behind my pawpaws house in North Louisiana. Well, my mawmaw would feed the hummingbirds and there was a stray gray cat that would occasionally pick a few off. She offered me and my cousin $50 if we could "kill that damn cat." One day my cousin and I are sitting in the deer stand and we see a large cat walking down the deer trail.
Cousin: "Hey there's that cat mawmaw hates, let's get an easy $50."
Me: "Uh, you sure that's it? It looks brown and it's kinda big for a barn cat huh?"
Well he insisted it was and him being a year older and thus much wiser in the ways of the world, we loaded up our 16 gauges with squirrel shot and let er rip, which was answered by to this day still the most god awful scream/growl/roar I have ever heard. Turns out it wasn't a housecat after all, and it sounded pretty pissed when it ran off. Well, being the dumbasses we were we decided to get out the stand and go look for it. We made it about 25 feet before that bobcat came charging out the woods at us, and I think we both could have set world records if you timed us on how long it takes to reload a shotgun with buckshot and slugs. After the first 12 shots, it stopped coming at us. After shot #18, I'm pretty sure it was dead, but everytime the muscles spasmed that was 6 more shots. 10 minutes later, we had emptied every shell we had between us into the thing. I think the unofficial casing count was 65 or 67. When the smoke cleared every redneck within 5 miles with a 4 wheel drive or 3 wheeler was out there to see what in the hell we started world war 3 with. In our defense it was a damn big bobcat, 43 pounds +/- 5 pounds of lead. I think they still talk about it up in Cotton Valley.
