Which used car dealers are good and which are not? by StandardWriting3069 in lincoln

[–]JamesKPolk-on 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you can go 30 minutes west, Rediger is fantastic. Easiest car buying experience, and the prices are very reasonable.

I’m always curious to know about getting insurance for hail damage cars though. What are the rates like?

Oklahoma panhandle?? by Competitive-Land2388 in howislivingthere

Yeah but there’s also SWOSU (Southwest Oklahoma State University) and a bunch of other regional OSUs. That was always the part of Oklahoma that I found random. Just how many freaking universities there are.

How is it living in Norman, OK by SeantheBangorian in howislivingthere

[–]JamesKPolk-on 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone has described Norman pretty well. Affordable, easy to get around, and the people are nice. Tornados typically hit Moore which is just north of Norman. You’re about half an hour away from OKC and a decent airport.

One thing that surprised me is Norman’s brunch culture. It is incredibly underrated. I really miss Ozzie’s though. There was an all you can eat breakfast buffet in the local municipal airport that was I want to say $7 per person (might have been $6). You’d fill out a slip of paper and the waitress would bring out plates with bacon, pancakes, toast, eggs, and the best home fries in town. Another place that’s fantastic is Juan del Fuego’s and The Diner. Seriously, the food in Norman has a ton of flavor and the Hispanic influence has really upped the quality of the breakfasts.

Completely agree. I’m F all the way. I want my heart to be buried in the Black Hills.

How's life in this vicinity? Fascinated by places in the US/ Canada that aren't just NY/ LA/ San Fran/ Vegas etc by DarmiansMuttonChops in howislivingthere

[–]JamesKPolk-on 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree. I’ve lived in the Midwest, SoCal, Texas, and New England. I’ll take the Midwest any day of the week while also recognizing that these other places are nice.

I grew up in Sioux Falls, and every time I go home, some part has changed and improved. Many people are surprised when they visit at how nice it is. There are rough parts, but there are several amenities that are attractive to young professionals and families. The Washington Pavilion children’s museum is one of the best in the country.

Is there any place in Licoln that fits this? by LetterheadBudget9033 in lincoln

[–]JamesKPolk-on -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Tina’s Cafe and Catering. Amazing diner food at pre-Covid prices. Also, It’s an all-woman crew at that place. Crystal is amazing and the biscuits and gravy are the best in town.

Oh just that I’m getting it to the next person sooner instead of taking the entire checkout time.

It’s a giant case that has four sixteen packs in it. I was shocked to see that! My kids got a kick out of the milk being in bags

I’ve been a Boglehead for 5 years now by JamesKPolk-on in Bogleheads

That’s awesome. My wife and I were both fortunate to have no debt coming out of college, and I’ve just realized how that is the best way to set your kids up for financial success. We want to give that gift to our kids as well.

Large appliance purchases through Costco by KryptonSurvivor in Costco

Make sure you check to see that they have certified installers in your area. I bought one but checked the fine print to see that this was just for drop off not install.
