My father lives in Texas and I live in Baton Rouge, and we’re trying meet up to go fishing at either Toledo Bend or Cross Lake (or anywhere in-between us really), however neither of us can seem to find any place that rents out a fishing boat with a troll motor for the weekend.

Does anyone know of a place that rents fishing boats with a troll motor that you can refer us?

Thank you in advance!
I won an Oculus Rift + Touch VR Headset as a reward at work, but honestly don't think I would ever use it (It was this or a bicycle, and I already have one).

It is absolutely brand new & unopened, purchased through Best Buy by my company and shipped directly to me. I have the Proof of Purchase, where I could probably return it to Best Buy for a credit/gift card for the $438.90 my company paid for this, but I would rather just sell it and get cash instead.

GAMEWARE & GameStop don't sell or buy anything Oculus. Any ideas of where I could sell it other than Craigslist?

Thank you & Geaux Tigers!

re: Lights on Baton Rouge Bridge

Just an update: the lights on the Baton Rouge Bridge are back on for the first time in months tonight. All is right with the world...

I just let whoever the payroll provider is do it. I don't do payroll and I beg, plead, and demand that my clients don't do it all on their own either (although I have a few that use the payroll options in QuickBooks, but they are all clients that are very small and I never have tax or accounting issues with them). I can't tell you the last time I or any of my staff applied for payment accounts.


I wish everyone would do that. It's so much better for everyone involved when I'm able to just apply for SUI and State and not have to call the State to fix any errors. Definitely a good call to outsource that headache from the start!

When doing planning for businesses planning to hire their first employee, we project a 2.05 initial base rate for LWC, knowing that when the app is submitted based on industry they may receive a slighly higher or lower base rate. Do you think that is still a decent projection?


It isn't a bad estimate at all, since it's between the new business rate of 1.83-3.2%. But to be perfectly honest, when applying for the SUI Number with LWC Online, I think I've had a total of two instances when the rate was above 1.96%. Almost all are 1.83-1.87% if you apply for it correctly and work with the state to get the lowest rate.

And yes- I know Logan very well! She's awesome!
There were a few people that posted replies that were almost fully correct, but none completely (mainly being off on SUI in Louisiana). Here is the exact breakdown...

Employer Per Pay Period Tax Responsibilities:
SS: 6.2%
MC: 1.45%
FUTA: 0.6% for the first $7,000 each employee makes
SUI: 0.1%-6.2% for the first $7,700 each employee makes (new businesses in 2016 are usually assigned the New Business Rate of 1.83%-3.2% by the LWC)

Also- that per pay period rate is high if you have only one employee. I'm a Payroll Consultant for Paychex in Baton Rouge (been doing this almost 5 years now), and see this every day. Hope it all works out! If you have any questions ever though (or want a quote that's much less than what you're paying), let me know!

Right, I was really just wanting to brag, but couldn't post a photo that looked perfect enough because there weren't any lights on the bridge...

That bridge is one of the worst bottlenecks on a major interstate in the entire country, and you are concerned about the lights on top for aesthetic reasons?


You're right... I definitely should have started a thread about the infrastructure of the Bridge and how merging with the Intercoastal before splitting I-10 and 110 isn't sufficient before slipping this question about the lights in!

It isn't a "concern." I said I was just wondering because I live downtown and see the bridge every night out my window, and hadn't heard why the lights have been out.

Does anyone know when the lights on top of the Baton Rouge Bridge will come back on? Or why they haven't been on for the last couple of months? Just wondering. Thanks & Geaux Tigers!

I actually think I saw this at the LSU Shop next to Mike on campus. Good luck!
