re: Rum House Review

Ate there last week. I've been to the new orleans location, and it was ok.
This location, however, isn't that good. We got there on a thursday at 7. 1.5 hour wait. So we snagged a couple bar seats and ate. The food just isn't that good. Too much cilantro on everything. We had the calamari as an a...

That's a good deal. Are all deck stains the same color, in regards to brands? I want to go pick out some stains to test them out on some scrap wood. So if i find some samples of thompsons cedar, for example, would that equate, color wise, to TWP?...

My deck and pergola build is nearly complete. All i have left is handrails and a set of stairs. I used treated lumber. A few questions.
1) How long to wait for the wood to "dry out"? The deck has been complete for about 1-2 months. The Pergola has been up and complete about 2-3 weeks. All wood wa...

[quote] it seems BP now thinks there is fraud committed as businesses who may or may not have suffered losses are being compensated.[/quote]
Of course there was fraud. Millions of dollars of fraud. But like you said, it's kind of BP's fault too, for basically just throwing money at the problem. T...

[quote]So you think the owners of the Mall of La and the board of directors of the BR General Hospital were bullied and race baited and that's why they petitioned to be annexed into BR? [/quote]

Well, not sure if this squashes the forming of the city, but it does put a kink in things.
Congratulations, BR. Apparently bully tactics, race bating, and general political hackery can make a difference.

Not so sure about misled, when i'm at the store and can't find farm to table green onions, i always check the packaged green onions to make sure they are US product, not Mexico. Mexican produce has been known to use human waste as fertilizer.
