re: Lufkin/Nacogdoches - good place to live?

[quote]Sounds like just about anywhere in rural America. City people passing through and think they are superior to the small town people. Shocker.[/quote]
I'm from WM, so I know white trash and rednecks when I see 'em. I'm not a city slicker and don't think I'm above small town people. Every tim...

[quote]How so[/quote]
Driving through Lufkin on 59 reminds me of WM. Just a bunch of restaurants and retail stores. Seems like 90% of them are the same as the ones in WM. Bunch of white trash just like WM too. I don't know anything about living or raising a family there, though....

re: Good mile time for a kid

I think 7:29 for his first time is good. My 8 year old ran a 6:29 a couple months ago and has been sub 7:00 for the last couple years. He is really fast for his age, though, and he loves to run. No formal training, but they run track at school during P.E. It comes naturally for him.
On the other ...

re: Playoff Dusty vs. Playoff Bochy
Posted by k wilk on 10/12/23 at 12:15 pm
The Astros have found ways to overcome Dusty's inability / reluctance to put the best 9 on the field time and time again, and I think they do it again against the Rangers.
Dusty will put out a lineup that makes everyone scratch their heads, and the players will make that irrelevant. I don't thin...

re: Apartment complex wants to raise my rent by 15%
Posted by k wilk on 4/29/22 at 11:03 am
I am in Houston and work for a multifamily management company, and we didn't raise rents during the last two years. We are now raising rents and have resumed evictions. I can assure you that rents are being increased much more than 15%. As another poster mentioned, a 15% increase in Houston is a ste...

re: Best top loader washing machine with large washing basket?

A salesman recently told me that if he didn't buy Speed Queen or the commercial Maytag, he would wash his clothes in the bathtub. He said everything else would last about 5 years. Was probably just trying to make a sale, but I wasn't going to shell out $1200 for a washer. That said, I bought a Mayta...

re: $40,000 and $50,000 for a simple kitchen update - normal?
Posted by k wilk on 11/7/21 at 8:36 pm
As other posters mentioned, materials and labor have skyrocketed in the last year, and most contractors very busy right now. If you can wait a year, you'll probably get that work done for less.
This year I have learned to add 30%-50% on top of what I think the job should cost. The change in prici...
