If you don't want to break it up and haul it in your truck to a landfill, then rent a small dumpster for a few days and put it in that and they will come haul it off. As for prepping the ground under the pool, that area is likely going to be hard as concrete since a gallon of water weighs in exce...

re: Fountain Pen bros and broetres

My biggest gripe with fountain pens is if anything you write happens to get wet for some reason, it really messes it up, if not totally ruins it the way it runs. ...
Just like Hubig's Pies--------I'm over them. ...

[quote]Ellie Walker[/quote] Well, considering she only lasted 1 season on "The Andy Griffith Show" and left because she felt there was no chemistry between her and Andy, I'd say not so much. Now, Helen Krump is another story, and they carried on that relationship outside of the show if I r...

[quote]I appreciate your question, but you know how to make your coffee taste and smell like whiskey, for much less.[/quote] Yep, can always do like my alcoholic brother-in-law and have 1 or 2 cups of plain coffee then the rest of them during the day were more bourbon than coffee and he thought...

[quote]That’s why I replaced them. 4 or 5 of the 7 toilets [/quote] What you running, a boarding house or whore house???? That's a lot of bathrooms for a residence unless it's multiple households in one building. Fourplex maybe????...

[quote]The root beer is actually sold in stores. I know Zuppardos has it in quart or liter sized bottles. Even have diet.[/quote] I was referring to the Frostop franchise. As far as I know, there are only 2 left. One uptown and one out near Laplace. As far as the root beer, I've seen i...

re: Big black bear down

Posted by gumbo2176 on 12/8/24 at 7:20 am
Well, what's the plan??? I've seen many bears killed on those Alaska survival type shows and those folks eat the meat from the kill. They do usually tan and preserve the hide, maybe flesh out the skull and boil it to save as a trophy. ...

I graduated Chalmette High School way back in 1970 and have probably only gone to 3 Friday Night Football games since then and just out of a fit of nostalgia. I don't think I even sat through any of the games to the end just to beat the traffic out of the area. Back when in school I went eve...
