Yeah, I started looking 100% convinced I was going to get the Subaru Forester, but then after driving it I was really disappointed. When I went to look at the 2017 Rogue they only had 1 in stock, so they tried to push a 2016 model on me. Even let me drive it for almost a week, but I just couldn’t get into it, once I’d…

I just bought a 2017 Rogue and love it.. This was after driving the Rav-4, Forester, Tucson, and CX-5.. It should be noted the 2017 model was hands down better than the 2016. The stop & go adaptive cruise control is life changing (the only other car that offered it was the Forester). Overall, the Rogue was better in…

I was just in the market for a crossover and I test drove the Forester. Before going into the dealership I was convinced I was going to get it.. I couldn’t have been more underwhelmed. The seats were not comfortable, floppy armrest, poorly designed StarLink navigation system, etc.. The only redeeming thing about the…

Exactly this. I have a Mazda 3 hatch and two big dogs who can’t fit comfortably in the back hatch for long trips...

Yeah these ones are thinner, and I love them. They are the most comfortable sock I’ve ever owned, last forever, and even in a hot Texas summer my feet stay cool and dry.

I’ve done something similar although instead of baking, i just turn on the broiler, which doesn’t require preheating the oven.

I am a man, with mens shoes.. This would work well on almost any canvas shoe like Vans, Toms, Converse, etc.. I always wear my pinky toe through my Toms in about 2 months, so something like this would help get more ware out of them.. Just sayin’

Same here, my husband and I bought bikes to ride around Oak Cliff, and it took about two trips before I decided I didn’t feel safe enough riding in the Dallas Streets. To be fair though, Dallas is getting more bike friendly, with the Santa Fe Trail in East Dallas, Coombs Creek Trail in Oak Cliff, Katy Trail, etc..…

These rules are unfortunate. A fancy restaurant is to be enjoyed, it shouldn’t be an uptight worrisome affair. The only people who fret over these silly rules are people who don’t dine in nice restaurants often, which is a shame, because they’re generally the ones you want to enjoy the experience the most. As long as…

I’d be curious to know if they took Prime customers into account. Seems like I can always find a cheaper price, but once you add shipping from the non-prime seller it ends up higher.

I have a front loader because my space is limited and I need to be able to put the washer & dryer under a countertop. I have a compact Miele front loader and have never had an issue with it. You are correct though, the washer/dryer set me back $3500, and a top loader would be much much cheaper. It’s worth it for…

My lack of excitement for Clinton has nothing to do with her being a women. I voted for her in the 2008 primaries and was devistated when she lost to Obama. When she was SoS I was SO excited about a 2016 run. But now that she’s running... Meh. The thing is Hillary Clinton doesn’t stand for anything. I can’t think of…

Well.. 1.) You’d need way more than $15k down on a $965k home. You’d have to at LEAST put 5% down, so 48k down. 2.) Hardly anyone does a 15 year loan, so let’s be real and look at a 30 year loan for $917k. P&I would run approx $4,378/mo, add insurance, PMI, and property taxes and you’re looking at closer to $6k/mo…

The key is to lay at an angle so you’re actually in a flat horizontal position. Otherwise you end up in an awkward V shape..

Something else to consider.. If the house is mortgaged in only in 1 name and worst case scenero happens (forclosure) you’re not forced to wait 7 years to get another mortgage if you just apply in your spouses name. It’s somewhat of a good safety net too.

It’s always worth asking your lender how what (if any) difference there would be in rate. If your loan-to-value is already high, it might not make a difference anyways. Also, 0.125% isn’t a huge difference, and you could ask your lender what it would it would cost to “buy down” to the lower rate. Depending on the loan…

Texas is a community property state (along with several others), so if you’re married both partners have to go on title. However, that’s not true of the mortgage, unless you’re applying for an FHA loan. At which point, you can still put one borrower on the loan, but debts are used from both to qualify. However,…

It’s probably less fuel than individuals would burn through getting these items from actual retail stores. Items available for “same-day’ are generally items already in the local warehouse. Also I know(at least in Dallas), they use an Uber style delivery system, same as Amazon Now. So it’s not huge UPS style trucks…

Link to the interview? I don’t see it linked here, so I can’t comment on the actual emotions the driver was feeling.

Well.. the Cambridge dictionary defines “near death” as: “An experience described by some people who have been close to death, in which the person feels as if they have left their body and are watching themselves from above.” So I guess the only way to know if your candy bar purchase is a “near death” experience is to…
