  1. I grew up in Southlake and most of the Karen's were not actually from Southlake. My vote is for The Woodlands. I met several people from there in college and they're insufferable. Always yelling "h-town" and saying they're from the "hoodlands". Absolute terrible tippers and expected the best service.
  2. Yup. I live in a new-ish development where people typically do the “design build” type of thing. According to the head sales guy, due to lumber costs and labor shortage, the sales team for our builder is limited to 5 new build sales a month.
  3. Cost of chips, goods, etc are skyrocketing. We have to keep raising costs of good to the market to match. Just crazy. On a personal note we’ve been buying new furniture for our house and the lead time has been crazy long.
  4. I’ll start walking around the house looking in random places and make a lot of noise and either a) hope I find it or b) she pipes in with “what ya looking for”. Half the time it ends well.
  5. I’m in the building automation control business, and this is the fun stuff of work, so more of a hobby than “work”.
  6. Buy occupancy based switches, RF smart switches or Phillips Hue bulbs. (I have all 3). Create schedules, etc. Profit. I even taught my wife how to create schedules with the Hue bulbs. I occasionally have to go in and modify it, but either way lights get turned off. I also put a schedule on the thermostat so after she alters the temp and forgets to put it back the schedule takes over.
  7. Try this one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Adams_(basketball,_born_1956)
  8. Absolutely love our sleep number. I was a “hit the snooze button 3 times” type of person. Now I wake up before my alarm. I didn’t realize how poorly I was sleeping on my previous mattress. I go to bed later and wake up earlier and feel much more refreshed.
  9. We were in Vegas last week for opening weekend of March Madness. Had dinner at Momofuku one night and Gordon Ramsay Steak the next. Both were absolutely incredible. Also had a couple light lunches at Water Grill in Caesars. Quick in and out for some raw seafood.
  10. Can confirm, at least back in the day. I’ve smashed some waitresses that worked at that location.
  11. Love that place. Go there every time I’m in FTW for Tech/TCU games.
  12. Nope. We were going to wait until Abbott said fuck it. So my wife and I found some “technicalities” to sign up.
  13. My arm is still a little tender after JnJ shot on Sunday, but nothing else. Wife had her JnJ yesterday and had no symptoms 12 hours after, which is better than my experience. I had symptoms within 8 hours ish. She was telling me how she’s tougher than me, her body can handle more, etc. She woke up this morning with a fever, headaches, excessively tired, body aches, etc. Essentially worse symptoms than me. By about 4-5 this afternoon she started feeling more normal. I’m curious if how you react to the vax is an indicator of how your body would handle the actual infection. Any data or info on that?
  14. Had JnJ shot at 2 pm yesterday and had some initial soreness in arm where I got shot. After about an hour, everything felt normal. When I was getting ready to to bed around 11ish, my legs, hips and lower back started getting real sore, felt like the day after an intense workout. Slowly after that other parts of my body started to get sore and I had chills and would then occasionally wake up in a sweat. I probably slept no more than 30 mins straight last night. Now all that remains is a little soreness at injection site and a little stiffness in my lower back. All in all, it was a minor inconvenience.
  15. Checking in. Just got mine 40 mins ago, it was the JnJ one.
  16. CVS opened a ton of appointments this am. They appear to be JnJ.
  17. You’re a self admitted fatty, she’ll pass.
  18. Anyone know of a “last minute” appointments for Collin County alert system to take shots that may be wasted? Wife and I are 31, in shape, healthy, etc and don’t want to bend the rules to take an appointment, but also don’t want anything to go to waste. Just poking around I found several openings and only didn’t book because I couldn’t bring myself to check the “meets 1A/1B” box.
  19. Fucking love Bankhead, pre-covid we’d go there almost once a week. We live in Wylie and will definitely be visiting the FW location with the BiL.
  20. The people we guilted into buying one after us all called a couple days after purchase and got their delivery date moved up significantly. Granted, that was prior the the holiday rush (which they may be just now catching up on).
  21. Bought a Sleep Number this weekend, in store it was the most comfortable thing I’ve laid on. Will report back in two weeks when it is delivered.
  22. This. Went there with the BiL recently, thoroughly enjoyed it.
  23. Could it be more Antigen tests are being done that count towards amount of tests done (thus maintaining testing levels) but Texas still not reporting antigen positive tests results? That could explain the discrepancy between cases and hospitalizations.
  24. GTFO of Gattlinburg when you can. Just another tourist trap town. Spend the night at Harrahs in Cherokee then drive to the Biltmore and spend a couple days there.
  25. We had the complete opposite experience on ordering the bike and the delivery date. Ordered it 9/20, showed up 9/26. We live in Wylie. Absolutely love it.
