  1. thanks for the advice. negatives on st augustine?
  2. need advice on which type of sod to get. getting sprinklers installed as we speak and need to lay sod to replace old bermuda in the front and fix the mess left by pool construction in the back. from everything i've read, palisades zoysia is the one to go with due to the heat in texas. i've never really seen what zoysia looks like though. the back will be fully exposed to sun while the front will have shade of trees part of the day. i really love st augustine though but worried about maintenance. thoughts?
  3. subscribed. .we are having the same issues with our tempurpedic. back aches have been a real bitch.
  4. Buddy of mine is selling his 4 seats, section 11, row 71, 5 through 8. He's asking $750 each. Located in Georgetown but can meet anywhere in Austin
  5. yes but you will never get to top 6% if you're not taking AP classes and get that added bump to your GPA
  6. ha, back in 2000 or 2001 i was at across the street bar the night before the TX OU game, they would just give you pitchers of beer for $2 or something crazy. got hammered and went to stand against the wall with my pitcher in my hand. next to me is this guy hammered as well with his pitcher in his hand. really cool guy, talked to him for a bit
  7. i don't think it's necessarily that they don't do class rankings. my daughter's high school stopped publishing/announcing rankings but in her senior year (second semester i think) they did provide everyone's ranking. i guess they want to avoid gaming the system?
  8. so they don't take AP courses and you think they're being screwed out of UT? LMAO everyone who gets accepted into UT has commitments outside school, heck it's a big part of the vetting process (volunteering, band, dance, athletics, etc.)
  9. you were cool with the racism, rapes, name calling, ripping families apart, but this makes you pipe up. fuck you
  10. this was in my neighborhood, it's a rat snake and the story was from last year
  11. Exactly. These fucking mouth breathers love to rail against the undocumented population while staying completely fucking silent on Trump employing them in his properties. They’re being played like a fiddle while the ones with the money laugh all the way to the bank Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  12. i'm not having it both ways. I'm a Mexican-born person whose family immigrated to the US and received amnesty in 1986. I'm well aware of the racism in Mexico, and the hypocrisy of the Mexican government decrying the US treatment of its citizens while they treat Central Americans worse. i don't know, maybe i'm spit-balling here, perhaps we should hold our country to a higher standard than Mexico. Call me crazy though
  13. i think it's interesting to see other families' budgets as a benchmark. we don't shop whole foods or any fancy places like that, so i would expect my budget to be less than a similar sized family who shops there often.
  14. we do big HEB delivery once a week and costo every other week for non-perishables. I haven't really noticed a huge price increase with delivery versus if we go in-store. we both hate grocery shopping so the delivery tip and whatever markup they're doing is completely worth it to us. family of 5 we spend about $800-$1000 a month and about $500 or so eating out. we used to eat out a lot but we're cutting back on that. funny how much money we have left over at the end of the month when you don't eat out 3-4 times a week

    Burgers

    what the fuck man, no love for crown and anchor? black sheep lodge also makes a mean burger
  16. we talked to some dude from texas at parque de los sueños who got busted for drinking a beer while driving a cart. said it cost a few hundred bucks to get him out. i don't think it's an issue of driving somewhere, drinking there, and heading back. but if you have a beer on the golf cart the motorcycle cops will bust you.
  17. this. we've gone before after august 4th or so and it's less crowded and rentals are much cheaper. we've stayed in santa rosa beach
  18. Isla does not suck. Ballyhoo straight out the ferry and north garden chilaquiles this morning. Current view chilling in front of Coco Hitting up Basto’s tonight Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  19. we are traveling with our mexican passports to avoid the tourist/visa lines. fuck that noise
  20. USA transfers is the consensus for airport to ferry transport correct? booked it and it didn't ask for payment info. it said they're reviewing it for availability and they'll contact me. is this right?
  21. we finally got CoA permit approved two weeks ago and loan closing last week. Dig commenced two days ago and they're making good progress. construction supervisor said we should be swimming by memorial day
  22. yup, my wife is an AISD teacher. Luckily i work for a great company with great benefits and I added her to my plan for less than what she would pay for a shittier plan at AISD
  23. if you're against giving teachers a raise you're a miserable fucking fuck.
  24. just through the site, wasn't aware you could book through an individual owner. is this via VRBO? i'll check We are staying at Villa Kiin. didn't feel like spending a lot of money, and this was the closest to the beach in playa norte without dropping a couple hundred per night
