I keep hearing inexpensive but yet to find a flight cheaper then Bradley. I just booked Orlando (75 round trip) and Miami for (240 Round trip) while they are upwards 320-400 for the similar.

I guess it’s good if you are closer to New Haven, but it’s not cheap.BDL has same flights out of spirit and breeze for Better rates and more Flying options.

I'm sorry, but you don't know what you're talking about. The gift tax exemption is not $10k, that's the point you have to fill out a form telling the IRS about the gift.

You have a lifetime gift exemption of $12.06 million. The first twelve million dollars you give away is tax-free. Recipients (almost) never pay tax on what they get, it's a tax on the gifter.

Estate tax is also a cool $12.06 million dollars. No working person is ever hitting either of these limits. Conservative news goes on and on about the death and gift taxes because they want working people to be mad about taxes that will only ever hit the extraordinarily wealthy.

Why do people think the government of Connecticut is determining gas prices? Our average for regular gas is $3.36 according to AAA. Texas has the cheapest regular gas in the country at $3.13.

If you want to bitch, bitch to the oil companies, OPEC, and the idiots who want to stop the transition away from fossil fuels.

It's bad there, man. I don't mean necessarily that the kids are bad or anything like that, but I don't think I've ever been in a more bleak building in my life.

I briefly did some tutoring there in college and shadowed a couple teachers. It feels more like a prison than a school in almost all aspects of it.

I started life as an MMORPG addict, and now as an adult I find myself in single player games on ps5/pc/steam deck. Action RPGs or whatever new game comes out that I rent like midnight suns, Forespoken, that recent DC game, Crisis Core, etc. But my best games were Everquest, Ultima Online, DaoC, even Wow at the time... But mmorpgs dont do it for me lately anymore.
