re: Home Title Lock

Posted by smd20 on 8/20/20 at 2:42 pm
As someone who does title research for a living, I don't see how this service would even be alerted if your property was being sold without your knowledge. Especially in Louisiana. They would have to manually do a search (in whichever parish the property is in) for your name in the conveyance record...

re: Best hotels in Baton Rouge?

Posted by smd20 on 7/1/19 at 5:25 pm
Watermark and Hilton downtown are probably the nicest. I recently stayed at the new Courtyard Marriot downtown and it was nice for a mid-range hotel. ...
Please don't use this site. They buy dogs from puppy mills. Google puppyspot reviews. I'm sure there's a breeder within driving distance where you can find the type of dog you want. Reputable breeders do not use sites like puppyspot. ...
As someone who worked as a paralegal at a PI firm, this is 100% accurate. They want to “borrow against their case” immediately. If it’s a big money case (18 wheeler Or offshore accident) the attorney will loan them the money almost always. ...

I have an ADT alarm system. Two weeks ago a guy claiming to be from ADT knocked on my door saying they were going to "upgrade my system". A few days later ADT sent an email saying there have been reports of scams in my neighborhood. ...

re: 88 year old grandmother Scammed

Posted by smd20 on 7/27/16 at 11:37 am
Just a bit of advice from someone who's gone through this, you may want to consider having a family member start monitoring her finances (credit cards, bank accounts, etc.) regularly. My grandmother was scammed over the phone several years ago, which was surprising to us as she was an educated and g...
The Hilton Los Cabos is amazing. By far the best Hilton property I've ever been to. ...

re: Home Warrrany thoughts?

A home warranty (American Home Shield) was included in the sale when I purchased my house. I tried to use them twice, neither resulted in the problem being fixed, and I paid the $75 fee for someone to show up each time. One of the repair companies they sent was super sketchy. I did not renew. ...

Hilton Garden Inn or Homewood in Bossier. Both are new, nice and reasonably priced. The Remmington Suites downtown is also very nice. ...

re: How's the crowd at movie tavern in BR?

Posted by smd20 on 10/31/15 at 8:01 pm
I went a couple weeks ago. The service was really bad, but the food was decent. However, I would go back for the movie experience alone. The seats are giant recliners with leg rests. There was plenty of space to where I wasn't disturbed by the person next to me eating at all. ...

re: Anyone own a newer model Pathfinder?

Posted by smd20 on 6/20/15 at 10:53 pm
If you haven't already done so, take it to a mechanic and have them check out the radiator to make sure fluid isn't leaking into the transmission. Mine had complete transmission failure at 61,000 miles because of a defect in most, if not all of the 05 Pathfinders ...

re: English Bulldog Breeders

"Impressive Bulldogs" in Summit, MS. I purchased my French Bulldog a few years ago years ago from them, but they primarily breed English Bulldogs. They showed me around to see the facilities and all of their dogs. The English Bulldogs were beautiful. ...

This happened to my 2005 Pathfinder at 61k miles. Nissan has known about these radiator/transmission issues since at least 2008. I took mine to the dealership because the gears were slipping and the engine was reving up on its own. I was told they couldn't find anything wrong (I was under 60K miles ...
Oriental Pearl (on Government) is no longer a buffet. The last time I went they had replaced the buffet with a "serving line" with about 6-7 choices. If I remember correctly the serving line (take out) cost the same as the buffet used to ...
