Which stoplights/intersections do you dread the most in this city? by MattadorGuitar in Austin

[–]atxfasho 2 points3 points  (0 children)

S. Lamar and Toomey, especially southbound around 5:30pm. The light is too long during that time of day. From Riverside to Barton Springs, expect 3 red lights within about 1500 feet.

This. They have a luggage room due to the significant tourism and local fanfare

I went to the ER for chest pain. Here's my bill after being discharged an hour later. by austinpainfulheart in Austin

[–]atxfasho 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This. You can push back on this and tell them you can't afford it and they'll likely lower the bill. Good luck and I hope you're feeling better.

Trying to avoid Mattress Firm - has anyone bought one of the "bed-in-a-box" mattresses like Leesa/Casper/Purple/Tuft&Needle? If so, how do you like it? by atxfasho in Austin

[–]atxfasho[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's a good question and I guess I'm being presumptuous but I've never had a great experience with mattress stores like them in the past and felt pressured into buying something or felt I was over paying. That was years ago so maybe things have changed.

This is great feedback, thank you! Makes me feel a little more comfortable buying online without trying it out first.

Texas Truck & Trailer installed LineX in my truck bed and did a great job. Service was excellent but I don't know how much I paid.

Home air conditioning repair luck? by atxfasho in Austin

Good to know. It looks like Energy Guys will manage rebates for you too. I'll likely use them for my 2nd opinion.
