My 05 has the 4.0. It's a beast that can't be killed but boy does it like to drink gas.

The TJ was the last real jeep, 1997-2006. Find you one without a rusted frame, pay cash and enjoy. Do not have it as your only vehicle. Jeeps are enormous money pit piles of shite and should be considered a 2nd vehicle play toy, like a motorcycle. I have a 2005 and it is not my daily driver by any means, but I'll probably never sell it.
The one in erwinville is one of the best ones I've ever been to.

I read the peg game was produced by 1 American family for decades and Cracker Barrel switched to Chy-na crap which put the family owned business under. Evidently they never diversified and was able to make a decent living all these years off just making that little wooden game exclusively for CB. Kind of crazy really.

3. Go back to bout 1982
I damn near lived in The Brown Door and Mule's when I went to Southeastern. This is nothing new. Old baw needs to learn to handle his liquor. It says he went to church to sleep it off. That's pretty funny.
My Speed Queen washer is the ONLY thing in my house I don't feel ripped off on. It's about 10 years old now and built like a tank. Works as good as the day I got it.
Homeowners insurance got my beach vacation this year. Thanks again Louisiana, guess I'll go to Lake Charles and drink enough to pretend it's the Gulf of America.
If you don't live on a busy highway, offer someone you know that does $100 to let you park it in their front yard?

The GED is free. They call it a HiSet these days, but they can attend that program at BRCC for free and get their GED. I think there's a small fee just for the exam itself at the end, but it isn't much.
You absolutely want monel staples and not stainless. I worked for a hardware manufacturer many years ago and staples were one of my products. The stainless ones will rust on you.
We have Corollas at work for company vehicles that we treat like shite and have never had a CVT transmission issue. We trade them in every 150k miles, which usually takes just shy of 3 years.
Home Depot has pretty good golf umbrellas for only 5 bucks. I buy a couple per year. I don't see the need to spend more than that for an umbrella.
I started teaching my son to drive when he was about 12 in an old jeep TJ with a manual transmission. He's 16 now and the only one of his baws that can drive a manual.
I thought this was a blackjack question

Is the interstate open from LC to Laffy?
How much is a transmission from honda? I would heavily lean towards replacing the transmission, even if you have to finance the repair. Vehicles are too expensive these days. Unless you're trying to keep up with the neighbors and drive the newest car, I'd fix it and you can always sell it in a year or 2 and get your money back.
I'm looking for a card that I can digitally put money on that, if it gets hacked or some sort of fraud occurs, they can only take the small amount that's on it currently and I can just trash it. I've got an elderly family member I manage finances for and she is constantly clicking on crap on her phone or iPad and getting fraud charges. It's become a quarterly problem. I always get the bank or credit card company to reverse the charge and issue a new card, but it's become a hassle and I'd rather just have a card I can put small amounts on whenever, and if it happens again I can just eat it and move on with life. I thought about cash app or venmo, but I don't know anything about those services. If those get hacked, or goes negative due to fraud, if that's even possible, can I just tear the card up and bounce, or will they come after the bank account that's attached to the card that I'd use to load money on it from time to time? We're only talking like 2 or $300/month. I'm not looking to use it to pay for legit services like utility bills. I think she keeps buying trinkets from obscure websites and her info is getting sent to fraud land, but I'm not even sure what exactly it is at this point. She never knows what exactly caused it.

I'm not trying to be a deadbeat, I'm just tired of trying to explain to this person that she can't click on every link she gets from India. She's the type that'll get an email or text saying her netflix account is shut down if she doesn't update her payment, when in reality she's on my netflix account and she doesn't even pay it, nor is her email or phone number associated with the account.
I have a company fleet car, a corolla to be exact, and I usually get 1 windshield per year from safelite. They don't use the oem and the recalibrate the camera system and I haven't had an issue with either. I wouldn't worry about it unless you have some sort of sound insulating high end oem windshield.
Maybe that's from way back in the day when there was just cash and checks. If you were selling something you run the risk of a check bouncing? I've always wondered about the cash deal myself. Now, if I'm selling something and a baw shows up to look at it and tries to knock 5 or 10 bucks off with the cash in his hand, I'll probably just say frick it and take the cash for the instant, be done with it, sale

There's a cool little hardware store right on the service road I've stopped at a few times. They got all kinda cajun cookin stuff like pots, burners, etc.
