re: Anyone else think Toyota owners inflate their reliability?
Posted by Thomas Hudson on 11/26/24 at 5:16 pm
My Land Cruiser is 20 years old and has about 240,000 miles. Other than regular service, a new alternator at about 200k, and a timing belt, I haven’t had to do anything. It’s been perfectly reliable and the drivetrain is as smooth as a new car.

re: I am planning my BVI Honeymoon

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)
That was probably Biras Creek.
Currently, your best bet is probably Bitter End Yacht Club, which have Whalers for use: BEYC
If I were planning a honeymoon in the Virgin Islands, though, I'd strongly consider Peter Island (BVI) or Caneel Bay on St. John (USVI).
re: Can we talk about Charles Tyrwhitt shirts?

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
Not to derail this thread, but is there some controversy about this term? Button-up shirts refer to any shirts where the front is closed by buttons. Button-down shirts refer to shirts with a certain type of collar (i.e., a collar that is buttoned down on the tips).
As for Tyrwhitt, they are decent value, but I think Brooks Brothers (on sale) is a better buy at that price point, as others have said.

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. :wah:

Jesus tap dancing christ, you eat out every other day????????????
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 lunches: $30
2 weekend dinners: $200
2 weekend lunches/brunches: $100

Wife, 1 4-year-old, and myself.
$600/month on groceries
$1400/month on eating out
So about $2000/month on food. :banghead:
How on earth do y'all spend so little eating out? We don't do it big or anything remotely close, but every meal with 3 of us seems like it is at least $50-60.

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:
re: Being Harassed by Real Estate Agents for Doing FSBO
Posted by Thomas Hudson on 7/10/15 at 10:03 am
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 buyer's agent. I went full 3%.
Had 25 showings in the first two weeks. I could possibly have gotten more money with a seller's agent, but not nearly enough more to justify the commission.

That's a very interesting option. Looks like their "Green Room" seats up to 70.
Did the wedding have a band setup? I wonder if there's space for that.

Anybody been to a wedding/reception at the New Orleans Board of Trade on Magazine St.?
New Orleans Wedding/Reception Venues
Posted by Thomas Hudson on 6/1/15 at 7:29 pm
Any good recommendations for Garden District or French Quarter venues to host a small (60-80 person) wedding and reception? I know there are hundreds in NOLA, but looking for good personal experiences. We are currently vetting the downtown hotels (i.e., the Roosevelt, Ritz, and Windsor Court), but I want to make sure we don't miss any gems in other parts of town.
P.S. - Posting this on the food board because the level of taste and judgment here is, well, higher than the OT. Plus, the quality of food is a huge factor in the decision.

I suggest you do some research regarding copyright law.
