Get Your Kids Hooked On Fishing In Lufkin
I see many people on social media in local Lufkin forums talking about needing things for kids to do. The problem is they are attacking the problem all wrong.

Is it Legal to Automatically Charge Gratuity in Louisiana?
There is One Restaurant in Shreveport That Quickly Lost My Business. This restaurant has decided that they will pick and choose who they charge 18% gratuity to. I am all about people paying for an experience. One of my toxic traits is that I refuse to save money like I should because I stay dining out and traveling. I believe that a basic tip of 20% is the least you can do when you are being waited on. I was a server for several years and there is no worse feeling than busting your butt just to get stiffed by a table. I understand that if there are tables of 8 or more a restaurant will add a gratuity charge which I am more than happy to pay. However, there is one eatery in town that I refuse to dine in because of their tipping policy.
