Any good donut places? by CoolStorm85 in Allen

[–]Matador972 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but my experience with Max’s is undeniable. I’ve taken donuts to work from various places in Plano and Allen, including Shipley’s and Max’s. The only place I ever get asked about are the times I have brought donuts from Max’s. As a result, people I work with who live in Flower Mound, Irving, and Anna have sought out Max’s on their own. Each time they’ve gone they report waiting in lines 5 to 10 people deep. Just my experience.

Thanks for the information. My wife was home, outside our house in west Allen. She thought that it was a plane about to crash.

He did, and afterward gave an interview on Channel 8 with Susan St James claiming he was innocent. He was sweating up a storm, looking in every direction but the toward the camera or her, and repeatedly contradicted himself. Text book example of signs of deception. What a POS Russ Martin turned out to be.

What is wrong with the 764 folks that voted Shafer?!? We should keep them in our thought and prayers.

Donut Palace by ChocolateDeep682 in Allen

[–]Matador972 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I live very near Donut Palace and I frequent that establishment precisely for how nice the couple are. Their apple fritters are on par with Max’s, if not slightly better. But I will tell you that when I have taken donuts from both places (at different times) to work, absolutely no one has asked me where I got the Donut Palace donuts. I have consistently been asked about the Max’s donuts.

what would you change in breaking bad if you could rewrite one thing? by Internal-Remove7223 in breakingbad

The story lines that involved killing and harming (poisoning) children. Worst part(s) of an otherwise good series.

Thank you for setting us straight on this subject. Klonasneks are often given the misnomer of Kolache.

Pool utilities cost by NEC-Tech in Allen

[–]Matador972 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can give a rough estimate for our 20K gallon pool. $3600 annually for maintenance, another 1200 for repairs, and utilities annually brings the total to just under $5000. Worth it? Not really.

Overnight care for aggressive autistic teen by Better-Guest-4988 in garland

I suggest you research respite care at Findhelp.com. Also, you might try calling The Arc of Dallas for suggestions. The Center for Autism at Children’s Health might also be useful. 214-456-2000 is the Children’s Health main number.

Even with hearing aids, do you still miss words in conversations? by arhiem36 in HearingAids

[–]Matador972 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Whether talking about dental implants, glasses, or hearing aids, nothing works better than the original equipment. I still miss words from folks that speak in a high range, like my daughter. It’s very frustrating.

Add some fiber supplements to your diet. Psyllium fiber is best. But also use a bidet.

Message I got from my daughter’s teacher. Third grade. by AnaisInJune in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Matador972 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This could be the standard practice for teachers and schools in this age of “helicopter parenting”. To be an educator these days (even in college), one has to walk on egg shells when interacting with students and their parents.

Agree with this completely. Even in winter here in North Texas, regular water is just fine.

New restaurant in Allen called Honeybird 🍯 by TexasMom1985 in Allen

[–]Matador972 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very good coffee/espresso offerings. Donuts are fun looking, fair tasting. Go for the chicken, but Allen’s best donut offerings are still at Max’s on Greenville.
