[quote]I had a friend that went to a resort in the BVIs that gave their guests access to small Boston Whaler type boats to personally use. However, this resort has since closed (hopefully not for liability reasons from giving everyone a boat)[/quote] That was probably Biras Creek. Currently, you...
[quote]For the money you might try them out. For casual button ups I generally stick to Peter Millar, Orvis (though cuts need improvement), Lands End, BB, etc. Not this shite again [/quote] Not to derail this thread, but is there some controversy about this term? Button-up shirts refer to any s...

[quote]99% chance they are obese or extremely unhealthy[/quote] About as far from it as possible, but perhaps we are just naturally blessed. We were definitely in Three Putt's shoes before the kiddo arrived (and #2 is on the way). But of of course we had a lot more disposable income then too....

[quote]Jesus tap dancing christ, you eat out every other day????????????[/quote] :lol: Actually only 2-4 times during the week (including lunches). But we do eat out most meals on weekends. So a week can easily go to $400+ on eating out (including drinks): 2 weekday dinners: $100 2 weekday l...

[quote]FT33 in Trinity Groves is one of the top restaurants in Dallas.[/quote] To clarify, FT33 is not in Trinity Groves; it's in the design district, which is even closer to Market Center. But I agree that it's one of the top restaurants in Dallas. Uchi is another fantastic option not too far away...
Have done the trip the opposite direction (i.e., south to north). My advice is to stay in Carmel rather than Monterey, and Santa Barbara rather than L.A. Either way, awesome experience. :cheers:...
Just sold my house FSBO, although I used a flat-fee listing service to get it on MLS. 80% of the agents that showed it thought I was using a seller's agent and didn't even know that you could get on MLS without one. Also, when I listed on MLS I had to sign an agreement disclosing what I would pay a ...
