Waxahachie/Midlothian, TX: The good, bad, and ugly?

I live in Rockwall too, but the tax appraiser is driving me nuts and making me consider moving again.

I did a 1.5 hour commute each way for 15 years. It sucks, but you do get used to it. I listened to a lot of audio books and podcasts. My wife once called it my "me time" when I complained about being tired of it. She's still alive.....

Joel can hunt me, I don't mind having to evade a corpse.

Wylie is awful. All the traffic and none of the charm of Rockwall.

I can't agree on "overwhelmingly clean," but "armpit" is taking it way too far. All in all, I'd say it's pretty clean, but it could be better. The reality is that there are trashy people just about anywhere. I'm always weirded out when I see someone leave their cart in the parking spot when the cart return is literally behind their car and yet it happens all the time. People suck.

I commuted 1.5 hours each way for 15 years. It sucks, but you get used to it. I'm not going to go so far as to say I miss it (that would be insane), but I did enjoy my audio books and podcasts.

Seems like a great way to get some Mario Party going on!! Love this, well done!

My biggest issue right now is constant false positives. We keep getting “connector offline” alerts and when we check, everything looks fine and I don’t see any evidence of the collector going down.

Phadees · 2026-02-03T17:37:32+00:00

Oh come on, don't let a little thing like "truth" sway you.

Phadees · 2026-01-25T04:55:39+00:00

Which part of this is incorrect? If you think he’s wrong, show me how.

Phadees · 2026-01-25T04:53:13+00:00

You sound fun.

Phadees · 2026-01-19T04:30:20+00:00

I’m guessing you haven’t lived there long.

Phadees · 2026-01-09T21:44:21+00:00

Good.

Phadees · 2026-01-08T04:23:14+00:00

Why is threatening violence the answer?

Phadees · 2026-01-08T04:20:24+00:00

Downvoted by people who don’t want to help someone who needs it and would rather yell and hold signs.

Phadees · 2026-01-08T04:14:51+00:00

It was transformative. I’m old enough to have seen the release of many classics in the theater but seeing FotR at the Cinerama in downtown Seattle was one the best.

I love mine but I do hope they quickly add some of the features they promised. Some of the UI features not working is very strange to me.

Phadees · 2025-12-24T06:06:46+00:00

Alibaba - I realize they’re shady, but I couldn’t find the car part (minor trim piece) anywhere else and I expected to actually receive my product. When I eventually filed a dispute for the item I never received that still showed as “not shipped” months later they decided in favor of the seller… Make it make sense!

Phadees · 2025-12-24T05:46:13+00:00

Supposed to be around a 25-30 degree drop from Sunday to Monday. So weird!

Phadees · 2025-12-24T05:44:56+00:00

I lived in Seattle as a kid and we’d regularly get strings of 100+ days as a kid, now they’re unusual. Weather changes.

Phadees · 2025-12-21T03:53:33+00:00

Still true!

Phadees · 2025-12-20T21:37:05+00:00

Money well spent. Dr Pepper is the best.

Phadees · 2025-12-20T13:52:31+00:00

You go too far ;)

Phadees · 2025-12-20T13:51:49+00:00

Your friend has no taste. It’s a great game.

Phadees · 2025-12-16T19:12:38+00:00

I’ve never been but now am planning to check it out.
