“Anyone on here recall Joe Reed’s (lounge) being there in the early ‘70’s?”

Joe Reed’s wasn’t at that location. It was in the shopping center where Superior Grill on Highland is located now.

It can be done but not nearly as good as raised beds.

Zero. Not interested.

Sevin should work but I use Eight. Works great. Can’t get it at Home Depot but I buy it at Clegg’s. I’m sure there are others that work well also.

Thanks to everyone for the input. It shall be frozen.

I’m planning to make a chicken and sausage gumbo this weekend to bring to Toledo Bend next week on a fishing trip. Does anyone ever freeze gumbo after cooking and take out and thaw later. I think it should be okay. It’s just a little easier to transport this way. What do y’all think?

I did get 2 estimates. Both were very reasonable I thought. One was $1,100 and the other $1,500. Liked both guys. Thanks for the advice.

Tree Trimming

Posted by labguy on 5/18/26 at 7:18 am

I just switched my homeowners insurance and the new company is requiring me to have some trees trimmed. Does anyone have the name of a reputable licensed and insured tree service they recommend? I would like to get 2 or 3 quotes. I’m in Baton Rouge. Thanks in advance.

Sounds terrible but I don’t like rye.

I had a similar experience with them. And they will keep calling back offering deals for months.

re: Why do people admire Michael Jackson?

The dude obviously had issues but was a rare talent going back to his days with the Jackson 5. I enjoyed his music. He was a hell of an entertainer.

I’ve sold my truck and boat on FM. They both sold quickly and I got what I wanted for them. You have to weed through the idiots but it’s pretty easy to do. I’ve been pleased.

You get what you pay for. I bought 10 lbs of boiled from them last week and they were not very good. I would not buy live crawfish from them. Small and a lot of dead ones.

No it’s not justified to spray your neighbors yard with round up. Spray your own yard.

Rev came door to door to my neighborhood last week after burying cable on my street a few months ago. Trying to sign people up. He told me I’m signing up all of your neighbors. AT&T did the same thing last year.

Meiomi sucks. Less than $20 and not very good.

re: Big Arch burger

Posted by labguy on 3/30/26 at 11:52 am to PIGSKIN

I just had one. Not overly impressed. The sauce was thousand island dressing like the Big Mac. It was very messy and fell apart while eating it. Probably won’t get it again.

Homeowners and Auto Insurance

Posted by labguy on 3/17/26 at 10:22 am

My homeowners insurance policy is going to renew soon and I need to shop around for better rates. I know I'm paying way too much. More than anyone else I know. Does anyone have any recommendations as to what company and/or agent they use and are very pleased with? Thanks.
