re: Cell phone insurance

I've never considered buying insurance for any of our phones. Not sure how much it even costs. Cases & screen protectors have always accomplished their purpose for us in the past. ...

I get regular e-mails from various institutions that some of my info has been compromised & posted on the dark web. Usernames, passwords, e-mail, phone #, etc.
This has been going on for years. I've got more offers of free credit monitoring services than I'd ever use. No identity theft or fraud ...
re: Parking at Minute Maid park
Posted by LSU on 4/16/24 at 7:09 pm
It mainly depends on which direction you want to head after the game.
Lots B & C usually have day of game parking available if you haven't purchased from the Astros ahead of time.
My personal preferences are the lots at 1818 Commerce St. or 1769 Franklin St. because they have easy post-game ac...
re: Car battery life?
Posted by LSU on 4/14/24 at 8:41 pm
I think 5 years is about the longest for me. My current one is at 3.5 years & still running strong.
On the other end of this is our Ford Explorer. It's 8 years old & had its 5th battery installed a few months ago at 78,000 miles. None lasted longer than 26 months. Never seen a vehicle run through...

Anyone have any tips on how to do this properly…

[quote]How many of you get a big tax refund check?[/quote]
Not sure what you consider a big refund check. Mine will be about $4k this year (not a big refund in my mind), but I've certainly had larger ones in some prior years.
I shoot for breakeven, but there's too many fluctuations on some of...

re: 2025 SEC Football Schedules/Matchups Released
Posted by LSU on 3/20/24 at 3:08 pm
Desiring an all-day SEC football feel, SEC Network game start times can now be pushed back 45 minutes to lead to more staggered finishes, i.e. moving from 11 a.m. to 11:45 a.m. CT. kickoff time. A typical SEC Network slate would now look like 11:45 a.m. CT, 3:15 p.m. CT and 6:45 p.m. CT while ABC an...
