re: Why doesn’t everyone sign a pre-nup?
Posted by gorillaballin on 4/22/24 at 2:37 pm
I got my wife to sign one - I was 38 when we got married and entered with significant assets. Sounds like you are in a similar situation. The laws are not written in a manner that is fair to men so you get this done do you don't get screwed in the event of divorce. Look at it like buying insuranc...

I bought a Samsung side-by-side back in 2012. It still works but the motor to the ice maker has been an issue since very early on. Repair people have told me that the design is faulty, Samsung won't admit it, so it will just break again if you get it fixed. Evidently there is a huge class action ...
re: Avoiding Car Break Ins

It is a bit of a walk but I park in the PanAm building garage (Poydras at Camp). I park in it daily for work and Pels games and I have not heard of any break-ins happening in the garage so far....
re: How many of you have actually had something bad happen to you in nola?
Posted by gorillaballin on 1/6/23 at 2:33 pm
I've lived in uptown since 2009 and have had my car broken into once. I don't ever drive downtown unless parking in a paid garage with security - trust me, it is worth every penny these days
Things have gotten much worse lately but if you avoid certain locations and scenarios (i.e. parking in an...

re: Season Ticket Relocation Procedure
Posted by gorillaballin on 7/13/22 at 2:27 pm
There were a bunch of seats available when my time came up (had my tickets since 2011) but the actual process to move was a clusterfrick. Instead of doing it all online, you have to call the ticket office and the line was busy for me for about two days of trying. Eventually, the seats I wanted were...

LA Citizens tried to push my coverage to Maison a few years back and I declined because they were a no-name with no creditworthiness. Citizens has been fine and paid for most of my new roof after Ida. I've had their coverage for about ten years now and this was my first claim. I recently got a qu...

re: Where to live in New Orleans for a young professional?
Posted by gorillaballin on 4/14/21 at 1:26 pm
I've been near the Magazine/Napoleon intersection for nine years. Great neighborhood, very walkable. I'm a dude but the only crime I've dealt with was one car break in last year where they busted out two windows so not terrible for a nine year stretch.
Despite all of the negativity in this thre...

[quote]If you can hold out a little while the housing market pricing is going to sink quite a bit.

The trash you're referring to is from Chalmette, not Nola.
I grew up in Mandeville and live in Uptown now. You can have your clusterf*ck traffic on 22 and 190 and nonexistent nightlife/entertainment over there. Yea, its safer but I'll take my chances to continue enjoying the endless entertainm...
re: Fellow cord cutters- how are you watching TruTV?
Posted by gorillaballin on 3/20/19 at 10:23 pm
I have PS Vue and it lets you stream thru Apple TV, Roku, etc and you can also just go to the TruTV website and watch live there with your login. They offer a 5 day free trial so that gets you thru the weekend hoops at least.
Playstation Vue is the best for sports IMO because it is the only stre...
