I’m in Texas and we’ve got a ton of them, mostly clustered around Dallas, Austin, and Houston. Honestly half the time the official lists miss someone because their wealth is tied up in private companies or they keep a low profile. Wouldn’t be surprised if Louisiana’s count is off too.
To me, Hank Jr, DAC, and Waylon have always felt more like outlaw country, lots of grit and attitude but still rooted in that classic country sound, while Southern Rock is what I put on when I want big guitars and more of that jam vibe, like Skynyrd or Molly Hatchet. Growing up, my dad played a lot of Waylon and Hank Jr on road trips, and then my buddies in high school were blasting Southern Rock in their trucks, so I kind of hear them as two sides of the same coin: one tells stories in a country style, the other just cranks it up louder with more riffs.
Yeah, this whole thing’s been messy. Honestly feels like mods are picking and choosing when to enforce stuff. If regular members got hit for way less, then this should’ve been handled the same way. Otherwise it just makes people lose trust in the rules.
I quit cigs a few years ago and bounced between disposables and pouches. Zyn was handy on planes, but I’d overuse it. With vapes I noticed anxiety spikes when chain-puffing high nic, so I dropped to 10 mg salts and only take a few pulls, then pocket it.

What helped was swapping to a small MTL pod with a 0.8 coil and USB-C so I don’t chase chargers all day. The one I use is called Elfa Turbo and I keep it in the low-power mode to avoid chain vaping.

I've stayed overnight at the casino in Wetumpka before on a drive to the Gulf, and it's honestly just average if you’re expecting a full casino vibe. The rooms are decent and the slots run 24/7, but yeah, no real tables for roulette or blackjack. I wasn’t super impressed with the food either, but it did the job if you keep your expectations modest. It's fine for breaking up a trip and blowing off steam for a few hours, but not much more.

These days, I actually like online options better since you get more variety and don’t need to drive anywhere. I found https://i-sabong.asia/, so you get that casino-type action from your phone or laptop. I came across sabong tournaments on this site and found it pretty fun when I wanted something different from the usual slots.

Yeah I’ve had similar thoughts while watching games, especially some of those weirdly timed penalties that just feel a little too convenient. I’ve seen flags thrown way late or completely missed calls that swung the game, and it definitely messes with your trust in the integrity of the sport. It’s probably not all rigged, but I wouldn't be shocked if hidden agendas play a part here and there.

When I do bet, I try to stick with crypto casinos for the speed and privacy. If you're into that kind of thing, you can find the best bitcoin casino sites ranked with bonuses included, which helps narrow down where it’s safer or more worthwhile to place bets.

Toledo Bend is probably your best bet, huge lake, great for boating, tubing, and fishing. Lots of cabins and campgrounds around too.

Maine could be a great option for what you're looking for. Bar Harbor has a nice mix of walkability, good food, and easy access to Acadia National Park for some amazing views and light hiking. Weather is perfect in late July, and you can find cozy inns or resorts with spas.

I'd go with Gulf Shores or Orange Beach in Alabama. Super easy drive from New Orleans, nice beaches, and plenty of family-friendly spots. Rent a condo so you have space for the baby, and stick to early mornings or evenings for beach time to avoid the heat. The Wharf has some good strolling areas, and the Alabama Gulf Coast Zoo is small but fun.

re: Replacing alcohol with Marijuana.

I've tried using edibles instead of alcohol, and it definitely helps me drink less. When I take a gummy before going out, I usually sip on one beer all night instead of knocking back multiple drinks. The downside is that I do get the munchies, which can be just as bad if I’m not careful.

If you're looking for good quality edibles, there are some solid options out there. I usually go for ones that are well-tested and reliable, like the ones available through Scarborough Weed Delivery. Makes it easier to find something that works without worrying about quality.
I'd suggest looking into resorts in the Dominican Republic or Jamaica. They often have all-inclusive options, which can help with the nickel-and-diming thing. Plus, they usually have a ton of activities for kids, like snorkeling, water parks, and stuff like that. You might also want to check out some of the smaller islands like Turks and Caicos

re: JSX Airlines Who's flown them?

Posted by Nicolae on 3/20/25 at 3:33 pm to
I've flown JSX a couple of times, and honestly, it's pretty sweet if you can swing it. The whole experience is just way smoother.
Lexington probably has more to offer. Columbia is cool, but it's definitely more of a college town vibe. Lexington has a good mix of history, horse farms, and some decent nightlife spots that the older kids might appreciate. Plus, it's a pretty easy city to get around.


I've heard too many stories like this, and it's one of the biggest reasons people are wary of certain casinos, especially online ones. It’s frustrating when they gladly take your money when you lose but suddenly find loopholes when you win big. A friend of mine had a similar issue with a sportsbook. It took weeks of emails and threats of legal action before they paid out a portion of what he was owed.

This is why I stick to platforms that have a solid reputation and transparent payout policies. If you're looking for safer options, you might want to check out https://topui88.net/, which is known for reliable games and fair payouts.
Betting on SEC teams to cover a spread like that on the road always feels risky. Alabama can dominate at home, but when they travel, it’s a different story. I’ve seen too many games where they struggle against teams they should handle easily, especially when their shooting is off.

I usually mix sports betting with some other games whenever I’m playing online, just to keep things more balanced. Been checking out Topui88 lately since they offer a good variety of sports bets along with live casino and slot options, which makes things more interesting.

I used to think sports were sacred, but over the years, things start to feel… off. It’s hard to prove, but when you see questionable calls or performances, you can’t help but consider the money behind it. A friend of mine who bets occasionally also says half the fun is questioning narratives and ""fix theories,"" even if it’s just speculation.

On the topic of betting responsibly, I stick to light dabbling if I do it at all. I came across some cool options like free spins on OZWIN Casino, like the ones detailed in https://casinobonusco.com/free-spins-ozwin-100/. It’s low-stakes fun, and you can try it without worrying about losses piling up.

re: Movies Anywhere "Screen Pass" Feature

Posted by Nicolae on 12/25/24 at 11:20 am to
If you’re looking for a way to share your movies without handing over your login info, the new sharing feature on Movies Anywhere sounds like a solid option. It may not match the full transfer capabilities Ultraviolet had, but it’s a safe and easy way to let others enjoy your collection!

I personally watch all the movies on LINK in good quality and for free, and I also send my friends to watch
Crazy how much has changed since then! Those names are now iconic, just goes to show how quickly culture can evolve. In general, I love books and I think movies can't be more interesting than books. so you can find here more books LINK
If you’re just on Medicare and planning a trip to Canada, I’d recommend looking into a short-term private health insurance plan that covers overseas travel. A few years back, I went to Europe with my parents (also on Medicare), and we got extra coverage through a private insurer. It gave us peace of mind, especially since Medicare doesn’t cover much outside the U.S. Just double-check the details for emergency care and pre-existing conditions, as those can be tricky.

If you’re considering something more comprehensive, like worldwide emergency coverage, companies like Premier PMI even specialize in plans that cover pre-existing conditions. Their tailored options, like the ones at LINK could be a good fit depending on your health needs and how often you plan to travel.
For strictly watching college football, I’ve juggled between Sling and YouTubeTV before landing on YouTubeTV again, mainly for its more consistent access to all the main channels. Sling Orange + Blue was cheaper but felt patchy with local coverage. It’s frustrating how streaming feels like cable 2.0 these days, but I did find managing these costs easier thanks to platforms like: LINK , which offer some helpful ideas on saving money for subscriptions. It worked for me when juggling subscriptions during past seasons.
