re: People "collecting" money outside of Wal-Mart

Posted by makoman82 on 10/19/15 at 7:44 am

It has gotten ridiculous the amount of "fund raisers" outside of Wal-marts in general. Every single time I shop there it is some other group. Me and my wife do not "give/support" groups in this way. We have a few charities we contribute to. If we want girl scout cookies or some candy we have ple...

Get the business first. Just do not advertise you are insured if you aren't yet. Nothing wrong with telling them you are enacting insurance and will be fully insured prior to working in their property. Go ahead and get your insurance quotes now. Most are good for 45 days and can be put into place t...

re: Anyone receive a notice from La Dept of Public Safety about their car insurance?

Posted by makoman82 on 10/17/15 at 8:43 am

If you don't pay this (or clear it up), your current state will eventually find out. States do share this info, albeit very slowly. Eventually they will get a code in their system and you won't be able to renew or get a new license in your state until it's cleared in LA. Happened to me from an old...

re: Is Amazon Prime membership worth buying?

Posted by makoman82 on 8/9/15 at 3:39 pm

Amazon Prime is great if you shop online. Just the free shipping alone is worth it. I just got a $275 AGM auto battery for my F-150 for $100 and it shipped free in 2 days. Also not known a lot is if you have a *.edu email address you can get Amazon Student. It has the same benefits of Prime, bu...

Absolutely possible. If you somehow get it started, dont turn the car back off until you have a new battery in hand....

The 2 1/2 day trips are awesome. I would recommend going with Joka's Wild though out of Biloxi. I grew up with that family and they have been doing it a long time. Captain George designed and built the boat himself and its like a yacht. Cant beat the crew and Captain George either. [link=(http:/...

re: Raised bed Garden problem

Posted by makoman82 on 5/2/13 at 12:28 pm

Excellent info Hog. I was worried about the sun amount. Its the best place in the back yard really. I think it will get more sun as the summer progresses but maybe not that much more. I may just be doomed. Going to try and test the soil anyway I guess and see if it needs modifying. Really wante...

Hey everyone. I posted that this morning, then got busy and was only just now able to read the responses. Thanks everyone for the feedback. I think I will try and get the soil tested. I was also thinking soild PH was off due to the amount of organic material. I got the mix of ingredients from a...

Raised bed Garden problem

Posted by makoman82 on 5/1/13 at 11:00 am

So I built an 8x4 raised bed and it is filled with about 1/2 organic forest floor compost and Miracle grow garden soil mix, 1/4 peat hummus, and 1/4 topsoil. I put in a mix of small veggies from Lowes (tomatos, squash, eggplant, bell peppers) and some from seed (corn, okra, broccoli). I planted al...

Red & Speck fishing Houma?

So I bought me a Carolina 16 JVX this weekend at the Gulfport boat show. I live in Houma now and trying to gradually get familiar with fishing in and immediately around. Any pointers on where to launch and head to for specks and reds? I grew up fishing for them in MS but not too familiar with thi...
