re: Anyone have a Frame TV? Suggestions? - Maderan
Have one, bought the after market frame for it and it does fool a lot of people, which I didn't think would be the case. Picture is fine for 99% of the world. Screen is super matte so very low reflection which makes it great for bright rooms. ...

re: Bridal diamonds: natural or man-made? - Maderan
There is no resale market for man made diamonds. The jeweler where you bought it may give you credit for the amount you spent on it there but you will not get that amount anywhere else. ...

re: Who are Louisiana's biggest "in state" money managers - Maderan
Very few institutional money managers in Louisiana. There are few few firms but the big accounts are all managed under OCIO models by national or regional firms. For a long time BCBS of LA was the largest and the money run by a New Orleans firm but that is no longer the case. ...

re: Home Builder Recs in NOLA - Maderan
I would avoid Troyer. Too slow and too much going on for you to get much attention. Recs in no order: Precision DiGiovanni Hotard I think that 220 to 250 is about right for under beam sq ft. That won't be landscaping, drainage, flatwork, pool or highest end finishes/products. ...

re: Americans think they need to earn $233,000 to live comfortably, and $483,000 to be rich - Maderan
That is because Louisiana dropped to 4.25 percent on incomes over $100k. Opposite question. What high income is it ok to spend whatever you want? $500k, $1 Mil, $$1.5 mil? To let your life style really creep up. Say that you are saving 40 to 50% of your net pay, so soild savings rate. What high...

re: What's your monthly consumer spend? - Maderan
I'm with you on the cheap. I can't stand overpaying or being overcharged for a service. I am willing to spend time and energy looking for reasonably priced quality items even though I can afford whatever. It just gets in my craw. When getting bids for work on my house I feel like contractors throw a...

re: What's your monthly consumer spend? - Maderan
Not sure if this is a brag thread or a cry thread... J/K There are some disciplined guys out there. I think the spend as a % of income is likely a more important factor than overall $ amount. If $1,200 and $12,000 are the same % of gross pay then I don't think the number is that important....

re: Fridge suddenly started freezing everything - Maderan
Had this problem before but with a side by side. I believe that the tech is similar though. I youtubed it and the most common problem was the door between the freezer and the fridge breaking. All cooling takes place in the freezer and an automatic door let's cold air into the fridge as needed to ...

re: What was your hardest interview? - Maderan
1st interview out of college. Job was for Rubbermaid in sales. Ask all sorts of typical questions, ask some scenario based sales questions. Then the curve ball. You walk into your high school reunion and run into a woman who was in some of your classes. You take one look at her appearance and th...
