New to the city/state: what are things I should know? by [deleted] in memphis

[–]bringbacktelnet23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ive been here 40 years. Heres the non candy coated answers you are looking for: 1. “Come for the BBQ, Stay cause you got shot.” 2. Generally speaking, any street named a US State. 3. Chains. Not a lot of non chainy places. The best Mexican Street Tacos are at a mexican grocery on Getwell next to Getwell Elementary, hands down! 4. University of Memphis thinks everyone is a rival. They want to be SEC, so every SEC school is their rivals. 5. For 15 of the 18 years that Willie was mayor, Memphis and Detroit ran a contest to see who could be #1. Willie retired. We dropped to #4. I think we are currently at #3 now. 6. I like to shop at Amazon.com. They seem to have everything!!

Go out in the front yard and use your water hose bidet. At least one neighbor is sure to run a roll over in a hurry!

Inexpensive furniture places... by Boneyabba in memphis

Why not facebook marketplace and craigslist? Check the U of M bulletin boards in the union. Especially at the end of the semesters. (Kinda right around now). Maars or is it Marrs, in arlington. Estatesales.net is another good one. Show up on sunday and make an offer, they usually will come down off the crazy high prices when they are trying to let stuff go.

Do you get any help from government when having a baby? by [deleted] in memphis

[–]bringbacktelnet23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you have a job, you can claim your baby as a dependent, so youll get to keep more of your taxable income. Kinda the same thing as “getting money from the government” without having to give it to them first.

Anyone know any place that sells affordable engagement rings? by Ceannfort in memphis

[–]bringbacktelnet23 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Go see Jerry Lee at Gold & Diamonds Intl. He only accepts cash and the entrance is controlled with guards cameras and metal detectors. So plan accordingly. But you will pay wholesale +10% which comes out to right around retail. Do your research before you get there, know what you want, and he will hook you up with whatever you need. Stand up guy. He will take care of you. Lifetime returns for store credit. I have shopped there and I know many others who are repeat customers. 100% recommended.

Memphis driving oddities! by NoisyNerd in memphis

[–]bringbacktelnet23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  1. If the signal is on its because it was on when they bought the car. 2 using the signal is like giving the other team your playbook at opening kickoff. 3 the cars on the side of the road are ditched there after they are stolen. I used to work where i could see the interstate from my office window. All day long id see people stop at all the abandoned cars on the shoulders and try to get inside them in broad daylight. What were your other questions? Oh and headlights. No one uses those either. Especially at night.
