Best Place to Buy Furniture? by knucklepuckduckin Dallas

[–]ball_and_chain 0 points1 point ago

I know this might not be exactly what you want but Cort and Charter furniture rental both sell their rented furniture, solid construction and good quality furniture...I purchased an entire 1 BR for under 2k at Cort (5 pc bedroom, dining table/chairs and couch/chair/end table/coffee table).

Worth a look!

Help! My Mom is stranded in Dallas! Car stolen, money stolen, off her meds, delusional, and dehydrated! Can anyone bring her some water or food? by Drift0rin Dallas

[–]ball_and_chain 0 points1 point ago

Good to see my fellow Texan's stepping up and even more happy your mother is ok!

Are the sunglasses that cost more than $50 (or even more than $250) really any better than those that cost $5? Is it all about fashion, or are there some that are extremely well built? by SmellsLikeUpfooin answers

[–]ball_and_chain 2 points3 points ago

I'm with you on those and I will say their customer service is fantastic! I had a nose piece come off, emailed them, for $10 I had them fixed and they even sent me a new fancy case!

For me the difference is in the customer service and knowing if they ever break I can just spend $10 to have them fixed (It was a S&H fee, not a repair fee, they did that for free).

Does anyone have experience with foundation repair? by stilzin Dallas

Clothing fashion and design jobs in Dallas? by barrywhoin Dallas

[–]ball_and_chain 0 points1 point ago

Also if she's just starting out there are a lot of positions down at the market center, maybe a way to get in the door if she's having problems finding anything. It would be more retail like but it'd be on the corporate side of the business where she could get to know more influential people. (my ex is a designer)

JC Penney's or Fossil, believe it or not Penney's pays very well in the design industry.

Offered a job in DFW by Gregarious2in Dallas

[–]ball_and_chain 2 points3 points ago

Traffic sucks, you wouldn't want to live in Dallas and work in FW unless you really like driving about 4 hours a day! Just watch this in the morning: http://dfwtraffic.dot.state.tx.us/ Or the afternoon...

Looking to sublease, any other options than craigslist? by knucklepuckduckin Dallas

[–]ball_and_chain 0 points1 point ago

You could just call the communities directly and see if they have anything available? Or if any tenants have let them know they wanted to move out early? I know the deep ellum lofts don't allow sublets, I know that the hard way...ugh.

Looking for low budget, nice, pet friendly apartments near SMU by jpirogin Dallas

[–]ball_and_chain 0 points1 point ago

check out the Village apartments, they have a bunch of communities if different budgets, you can stop by the main office and they can give you info on each community. Bonus I know a few redditors that live here, hoping to plan a village meet up soon but I'm still moving in and busy right now.

hey r/cooking what's your favorite indoor grill? by ball_and_chainin Cooking

[–]ball_and_chain[S] 1 point2 points ago

well if I ever visit Seattle again I'll let you know, lived there for 6 years and have some great friends up there!

hey r/cooking what's your favorite indoor grill? by ball_and_chainin Cooking

[–]ball_and_chain[S] 1 point2 points ago

If you're in Dallas no problem! My dad actually started teaching me how to grill when I could could reach the grill! I was sad the day he got a gas grill but I understood but have still never used one myself. Hopefully the apartment community I'm moving to next will have some grills available for parties, I'd hate to think I couldn't provide awesome burgers and hot dogs (vienna beef hotdogs!) for my friends and family!

[–]ball_and_chain[S] 1 point2 points ago

No worries, you know what they say, they are so expensive because they are worth it! I just didn't want the house and we came to a peaceful value and she wanted it for some unknown reason, probably ego...

But yes, I want an awesome indoor grill! I buy all my meat from a butcher and care about the quality and how it's cooked, I've honestly never even owned a gas grill at 38 years old, only used charcoal so if there is anything out there that is close to that flavor I want to know!!

CEO Says New Penney’s Will Be a Store for Everyone. By "Everyone" He Means "Please God Somebody Come Into Our Stores and Buy This Crap" by irishamericanin Dallas

[–]ball_and_chain 0 points1 point ago

St. Johns Bay and Island Shores are the brands she designs. They are always changing stuff around and I believe Ron is going to do some amazing things with that company, quite pleased with the amount of stock I got in the divorce! I'm actually hanging on to a lot of it!

Sunday brunch spots by Andthesuchin Dallas

[–]ball_and_chain 2 points3 points ago

Cafe Brazil, locations all over Dallas.

Frankie's in Richardson is amazing if you want aTex/Mex brunch! And bonus there's an awesome ice cream shop called Firefly right beside Frankie's!

Two pennants later, and I'm STILL not used to how awesome they are... by fartjarfunklein TexasRangers

[–]ball_and_chain 0 points1 point ago

I completely understand, as a lifelong Ranger fan it's so hard to get use to and I'm glad I'm not. It creates more excitement for every game, every day! I never want to be a fan who expects winning, it makes it so much more fun and enjoyable! But I do love seeing the Angels at the bottom of the list too!
