Mississippi Gulf Coast

Philanthropic Graphic Design:

shumz — Tue, 12 Oct 2010 18:55:17 GMT

Hey there Gulf Coast Residents,

I'm a 26-year-old Graphic Designer who went to high school on the Gulf Coast. I have lots of good memories from there. My mom still lives down there. Out of fondness for the area, I had the idea to offer small businesses (who had been affected by the Gulf Oil Spill) a Free logo design (or redesign) package. I have the full info here: http://blog.shumyla.com/2010/10/free-logo-designs-for-small-businesses.html

The premise is that they need to be a legit business, and they must have a real need. I'm trying to get started on it by November so I can have this ready for them by December — a xmas gift, I suppose.

If you think this would benefit someone, Please help me get the word out. I know that the members of this board are super-diverse — maybe you know someone-who-knows-someone who owns a small business? I feel I could definitely use some logo-work in my portfolio, so this would be mutually beneficial. Thanks again. (Any comments or thoughts appreciated).

mississippi divorce laws?

redheadedchic — Thu, 17 Sep 2009 11:19:11 GMT

If I'm still married, but filing for divorce soon, can I legally kick my husband out of the house we rent? And if he's not on the lease?? And how will it work if he decides not to sign the divorce papers? Will they give him a certain amount of time before doing so?

Serious issue with my boss

freqer — Sat, 28 Feb 2009 03:22:25 GMT

in October I was acting as security for a party at the casino I work at.
At this party the director of security decided to attend with his girlfriend(not his wife). He asked a different person twice to remove her top. Once to touch and once to take pictures.
I had to report this under company policy and there was an investigation. He was suspended a day. He found out that it was me and twice that week tried to intimidate me and tell me a family member's employment and my own may be affected. I spoke with the head of HR and I thought it was over.
2 days ago he approached me again and started his speech again about how I almost cost him a job and if I wanted him to look out for me and my job I needed to watch his back. He also started asking me about my family and how they would be if I lost my job.
Obviously going to anyone at the casino won't work. And quitting isn't an option. Any suggestions?

Petland selling puppy mill puppies! Take action.

lindseymoongirl — Sat, 22 Nov 2008 18:57:50 GMT

A Petland has opened in D'Iberville...

Yesterday during a news conference, The HSUS revealed the results of an 8-month investigation into Petland Inc., the country’s largest chain of puppy-selling pet stores. The results reveal that many Petland stores across the country are supporting cruel puppy mills, even while telling unsuspecting customers that the dogs come only from good breeders.

There are approximately 140 Petland stores in the U.S., selling tens of thousands of puppies each year. In the largest-ever puppy mill investigation, HSUS investigators visited 21 Petland stores and 35 breeders and brokers who sold puppies to Petland stores. Investigators also reviewed interstate import records of an additional 322 breeders, USDA reports and more than 17,000 individual puppies linked to Petland stores.

According to Stephanie Shain, director of The HSUS Stop Puppy Mills Campaign, “Petland stores investigated by The HSUS are perpetuating the abusive puppy mill industry, where dogs are treated not like pets, but like a cash crop. They know that consumers won’t stand for the cruelty inherent in mass-breeding facilities, so they make outrageous claims to hide the reality that the dogs came from puppy mills. People have a right to know exactly what they are buying, but the real victims are the breeding dogs who are confined to life in a cage for as long as people are duped into buying their puppies."

For Sale!

amorousnerdium — Wed, 22 Oct 2008 23:10:31 GMT

I'm selling off both my current bikes to pay for a medical procedure. I need to sell these ASAP! Lucky me does not have medical insurance, but you get the picture.

2008 Kawasaki Ninja 250R: $4000 Firm

This bike is in PERFECT condition, I only put about 2413 miles on it before I got my 'Busa. It has NEVER been dropped or wrecked. I've had a few light modifications done:

Two Brothers V.A.L.E. 4-2-1 Full Exhaust M2-Carbon Kit carbon fiber (pic above was taken right before I had it put on)
Aftermarket foot pegs
Carbon fiber tank grips
Red billet aluminum track spikes
Halo/Angel Eye headlights (the rings are red and controlled by a push button switch strategically hidden ;) )
This is not my picture, but a picture from the guy I bought them from:

2004 Suzuki Hayabusa GSX 1300 R - $6000

Just like my other bike, this is near perfect condition. I get it tuned up and the oil changed like clockwork. It's pretty much stock except for the 25 shot nitrous system on it and the aftermarket pegs, LEDS, and tank grips. This thing is WICKEDLY fast.

Any questions, email me or comment. No test drives unless you have the cash in hand. To many idiots out there wrecking bikes on test drives. I can meet you nearly anywhere between Baton Rouge, LA and Panama City, FL. Both bikes have stands (like the one in the Ninja's picture). Like I said, I have some medical issues I need to resolve so I am selling my bikes to pay for it.

I also have the following vehicles I am willing to sell as well if anyone is interested:

2007 Toyota Tacoma (Orange) LOTS of upgrades including 38 inch tires, $2000 stereo system. VERY low miles
2005 Ford F-150 XLT Triton (Maroon) - 36,789 miles
1998 Ford F-150 (Green) - Nearly 200,000 miles... I actually bought this one off a family member as a work truck but it runs PERFECTLY.

All my vehicles get scheduled tune ups, oil changes, etc. I'm OCD about that...

Between the cash I already have and if I can sell two or three of these vehicles, I should have everything taken care of and can buy me a new bike. Lord knows I don't want to be driving our car around much... I feel gay even sitting in that thing...

looking for a yip yip

24_24_1_1526 — Thu, 28 Aug 2008 19:13:55 GMT

I am looking to adopt a chiuhauha puppy in the near future. I live here on the coast. Does anyone know of someone giving up young puppies for adoption? I trying to wait until I rehome my pet parrot, as I do not want to house both animals in the same apartment. My parrot deserves to be in a home with other birds and a true bird lover (the lil green terror).

If you have any info of someone adopting out pups (besides the Humane Society, yes, I am checking there as well), please respond. thanks.

sept 1st events?

satansboyfriend — Fri, 15 Aug 2008 02:55:18 GMT

So, my roommate's birthday is sept 1st. and I'm tying to find some kind of a consert event or something that lands on or around sept 1st. does anyone know of any?

starry_midnight — Thu, 31 Jul 2008 10:32:25 GMT

Hello all! I recently moved to Gulfport with my family. I like it but am still working on getting acclimated! :)

I am also currently in the dilemma of trying to figure out which school would be best for me.

I come bearing way too many credits from my other college for my own good thanks to a midstream change in major! Anyway. I was just wondering if anyone could give me any insight into either the MGCCC-JD or USM-Coast Nursing programs. I have been accepted to USM (not the program) and put in my application at MGCCC.

I live extremely close, actually right across the street, from MGCCC so it seems that would be the natural choice but the more time I have to think about it though, I just don't know anymore! I have so many credit hours from ASU that it seems like USM would be the smarter choice.

Does anyone have any insight into either of these schools? Even if it's not Nursing specific?

Thank you all so much for any help! I truly appreciate it.

VHS to DVD conversions

redheadedchic — Tue, 24 Jun 2008 14:39:39 GMT

I've been calling all the local places I could that may possibly convert vhs tapes to dvds and have NOT been successful!

Do any of you know of a place that does convert vhs to dvd???
Or maybe even know someone personally that may be willing to do it? I live in Gulfport and would be willing to drive anywhere within a 20 mile radius.
Thanks for your help :-D

Silent Auction @JD

konichiwacobra — Fri, 14 Mar 2008 22:36:09 GMT

I'm a student at MGCCC - Jefferson Davis campus and my Psychology class as well as various other organizations are organizing a student auction for student by the name of Nikki Ogden. Nickki has recently been diagnosed with Chiari Malformation. It is a rare, congenital brain disorder, which causes pressure on the spinal cord and wreaks havoc on the entire neurological system due to a misshapen and misplaced cerebellum. She is experiencing a number of symptoms including slurred speech, mobility issues, headaches, dizziness, etc.

Despite her diagnosis Nikki is continuing her education. She is married with 3 daughters ages 3, 6,and 11.

On Wednesday, April 2, 2008 we are holding silent auction. All proceeds will go directly to Nikki and her family.

I am asking for anyone who would like to make a donation of goods, services, or funds for this event to contact LaShaundra at 3blue713(at)gmail(dot)com.

VOTE tomorrow!

vote_08 — Mon, 10 Mar 2008 21:18:04 GMT

An Obama volunteer here, just reminding folks to go vote tomorrow. Tell everyone you know.

Click here to find your polling place.

Polls are open from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday, March 11th. If you are in line by 7:00 p.m., you must be allowed to vote.

In Mississippi, any registered voter can vote on Tuesday by requesting a Democratic ballot at the polls. (In other words, you can be registered as a Democrat, Independent, or Republican and still vote for Obama.)

If you believe you were left off the voter list or otherwise prevented from regular voting by error, you must be allowed to cast a provisional ballot.

No identification is required at the polling place unless you are a first-time voter. If you are a first-time voter in Mississippi who registered by mail and did not provide identification at that time, you should bring a valid photo ID, current utility bill, bank statement, paycheck, government check, or other government document that shows your name and address.

If you have problems or questions, call our voter hotline at 1-866-675-2008 and press 4.
