ARGH! Moving is hard!

Shaw Coyote · Apr 13, 2010

So, things have been going well with me lately. New job, new guy, new puppy. We've decided to move in together, and I'm realizing exactly how much work it is! So I have a question for you Texan Halforumites (though I won't turn anyone's advice down). What are you using for electricity? I have reliant, but I'm not super happy with them. Also, what's a good quality, but not super expensive furniture place in the DFW metroplex? I know where there's an Ashleys/Rooms to go place, but they're both pissing me off. Anyone who helps wins one internet!

That's a thing right? Winning an internet? I'm behind on my memes....

Unknown about your question, but I will mirror your moving sucks sentiment.

Here I have an extra coupon laying around that is good for one internet. That way you wont be forced into playing into Shaw Coyote's little game.

Shaw Coyote · Apr 13, 2010

Can a mod please delete Hylians post? I'll give you an internet if you do.

I tried cutting out that coupon and now my monitor is broken!

Shaw Coyote · Apr 13, 2010

See what happens who to those who fall to Hylians evil ways?

There's a big ass Ikea up in Frisco.

Shaw Coyote · Apr 13, 2010

Thank you Phil, you will be receiving one internet. It will be delivered between 8am-7pm on Saturday.

Rooms to Go is moving into Texas with force. Looks like decent "early matrimony" furniture.

For power I tend to stay with they guys that actually own the generating station and power lines in your area. Because they are the ones that generally come out to fix outages anyway. Why add a layer of BS between you and the workers?

$20 a month.

Shaw Coyote · Apr 13, 2010

Wait wait wait! Are you saiying you spend 20 bucks a month?! Also, I'm kinda hoping to go more green, and there's a TON of people who say they use wind energy, but won't give a %. I had hoped someone here is using one of them.

You win half an internet.

sixpackshaker · Apr 13, 2010

no, you might save $20

I am still with Reliant.

Shaw Coyote · Apr 13, 2010

Okay. I think I'm going to stick with Reliant myself, as I really should have set this up a few days ago.

Shaw, I use Green Mountain Energy down here in Lake Jackson, Tx

Shaw Coyote · Apr 13, 2010

That's the one I'm interested in!!!!! How do you like it?

CrimsonSoul · Apr 13, 2010

After reading the thread if you want to go green use Green Mountain I think they only purchase green energy (and they aren't too expensive either)

Shaw Coyote · Apr 13, 2010

Perfect, you win 2 free internets. One of them will come equipped with Net Neutrality.

I'm in Denton. We have municipal power that's cheaper than any of the commercial companies. When i lived in Lewisville, I used Green Mountain Energy. It was more expensive but it let my then-wife feel better about the environment.

As for furniture, we've picked up some decent pieces for a good price at The Dump http://www.thedump.com/
