Took a Continental Trailways bus from Baton Rouge to Los Angeles twice as a youngster. No way could I afford flying back then before deregulation.
re: Cali considering electrical vehicle fee do to loss or revenue from smog inspection fees

LA does the same thing here. Got an EV/Hybrid Fee mailed to me on my wifes new Camry.
MS as well. They add a hybrid fee to my car tag each year due to less gas tax revenue with the higher gas mileage.

Montana literally has 325 different designs. This doesn't include personalized plates. Give Mississippi a break.

re: What's the worst state out of Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama?
Posted by Topisawtiger on 6/26/26 at 9:00 pm to FlyingTigerBo
I grew up in Louisiana and now live in Mississippi. Mississippi has Jackson, but the others have Shreveport, Montgomery, New Orleans, Birmingham, etc. You get the picture. The best is Mississippi by a mile. The worst is Alabama. Louisiana has great food and my beloved Tigers.

Im 66 and use a Samsung Galaxy A16. It is cheap ($49.95) and simple to use. My advice, ditch the Apple. Plus if the rest of your family uses an Apple, then you can't be in the family groups/chat. Bonus....

At the very bottom of the link it says they are FDIC insured. I haven't verified that tbh.

Anyone know anything about this bank? They are advertising a high yield savings account at 5.25%. This bank doesn't show up on investopedia or any other website I've found. My current bank has dropped down to 3.21% so I'm interested in moving my money around. Tia

We took SRA tests in the late 60's. Scholastic Reading Ability. I made 12th grade, 9th month level in the 3rd grade. They wanted to move me up 2 grades. My mother threw a fit. Didn't happen thank God. I wasn't that smart.

Sorry you had to deal with that crap. Every January I bring a check to my county, insurance is bundled in with car and motorcycle, paid monthly. I've heard these horror stories before.
re: Congressional resolution seeks federal recognition of Mobile as birthplace of Mardi Gras

Mobile is a place where wholesome, good people and families can celebrate the festivities. I'm glad it's an option.
Yes. Very family oriented. It's where I've taken my children. But it is silly that congress is getting involved in bragging rights. Smh

Yessir. My FIL is 92 and he is on our frndlytv. We have his remote programmed so he can see what to hit on the remote for his western channels. I didn't do it so can't explain. If that can't be done then you made a great point and recommendation.

Get her an antenna for the local channel. Then get (Frndly tv) subscription service for $8 a month. It has 3 Hallmark and 2 GAC channels plus Pixl and Dove. Mama gonna be very happy with you.

re: Nurses of The OT, Agencies Paying $11,000/week for NYC strike
Posted by Topisawtiger on 1/21/26 at 12:09 pm to tigerbait17
Issue is there aren't enough nurses to go around. Always around 85% or so. Thus many facilities will need travelers until the needs are met. Now, about the pay, those crazy rates are long gone since covid. Yeah on occasion you'll see those rates but those are strike contracts and short in duration, usually several weeks or less. Travel nurse pay has come way down to the point many have quit traveling as having to duplicate expenses makes it not financially feasible.
