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 ...

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....
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...

I've had YouTubeTV and FuboTV after PS Vue ended service. Fubo is solid. Give them your money instead of YouTube if you have issues with YouTube's woke censorship policies :usa:...
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...
FYI - I'm watching on FuboTV as AT&T Sportsnet picked it up. They offer a free trial so worth signing up then cancelling if you don't need it...
FuboTV has it on AT&T Sportsnet. They offer a free trial ...

[quote]I've only had one place that not only looked at it in LA Wallet but asked me to flip to license part of the app to make sure 1) not just an image of a record and 2) my picture to make sure it wasn't someone else's. And then we were seated outside[/quote] I live here. I boycotted for about...

[quote]It's insane how expensive Leonidas/Pigeon Town has gotten. Can't find a house under $200/sq ft there. Imagine saying that ten years ago.[/quote] It has really gotten crazy, especially over the past year. That area is still pretty dicey with crime too. ...
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. A lot of what drove up single family house in Nola were people buying properties to use as Air B and B's. Those people are getting their asses kicked if they were depending on that income to pay the no...

re: Will the Nola CBD be shut down?

I work for a Fortune 500 company with a Nola office and everyone is being told to work at home this week. I'm pretty sure this is going to be happening for most of us who are typically in CBD offices...

Is anyone else seeking out quotes for small multifamily? I have a double in Uptown Nola, primary residence, looking for 15 and 20 year fixed quotes. LTV is around 60%, very strong credit...
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...
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...
My building just got one in Nola CBD...
