yeah, looks like there is an extremely good chance I will be moving there in the next 2 to 3 months, maybe less. So, look out, Austin!

This is true, and it will be greatly lessened by my leaving.

The only thing wrong with Austin, is that it's surrounded by the rest of Texas.

Of all the places I've moved, none sold me on permanent residence the way this city did within days. That's not even considering the food, oh lawdy the food.

Double the uniform allowance is just so you can mend all the bullet holes, you know.

Austin, yeah the most common big danger is drunk frat boys raising too much hell on 6th Street.

Eh, I was mostly joking. If he was considering moving to Detroit, I'd suggest he'd become RoboCop, but what can you do?

No joke, when I lived in Austin and was unemployed, I looked up the APD.

Also, Austin is amazing, mad jelly.

Nope. But you're probably #1 for post rating, if there was a way to track that. Every morning I wake up, "20 new notifications" Oh, I guess bubble's getting caught up on his reading.

At least I dare express my emotions. I feel something every time someone posts! And I'm not too manly to admit it! Whaaaa! ;)
Here, have a like. :p

Seriously, I love that Bubble lives in a timezone where he's usually up while I'm asleep. Such an ego boost in the AM. "Hey, remember everything you said yesterday? It was a river of gold, according to Bubble."

But now that I know he just passes them out to anyone, I feel...

Nah, it's still validating.

Don't ask me how, but I have the most positive ratings on the forum. So it's not just Bubble.

And you know who's number 2?

Jay.

Chad, I don't hand them out to just everyone, don't worry. You are, I think, one of my bigger receivers ;)

It's just replaced a whole lot of posts from my side. "Yeah, that is a good point". "Man, you're full of shit". "Oh, LOL, that's awesome". "D'awwww". "Oh man, that's rough...Sorry for you, man..." and whatever. Especially if there's something I want to say, but then isomeone else has beaten me to it. I can just +1 the answer/solution/suggestion I feel closest resembles what I'd say (but said better/more eloquently/with more gifs) :)

What really blew my mind is I'm 3rd behind Dave of all people for negative ratings.

Everything is positive except "Disagree," "Spoiler" and "Needs a Lock." If the colors on the profile chart are accurate, anyway.

"Informative" and "Spoiler" are neutrel, "brofist" simply doesn't count towards anything.

I hate these kinds of things. "Let's create a socially awkward situation, and push people's buttons. When they take action, let's push them even further by worsening the situation!" There's just not enough real bigotry, let's see how fake bigotry plays out on film.[DOUBLEPOST=1376587881,1376587847][/DOUBLEPOST]

I thought about moving to Austin once my husband is out of the Navy. Then I remembered it's still Texas and decided it's not the place for me.

I have arrived. So far...nice place!


Need to get my truck delivered, though. While I love riding the Harley. The cross country trip I made solo was a blast, but it is hampering me getting things like groceries and what not now that I am here.

I am definitely liking it a lot. Corporate put me up in the Domain for now, until I find my own place. Yay free living!

Damn that is pretty good. The Domain is like it's own little high end community surrounded by all the high end stores, and keeps expanding every year. Was always curious what it would be like to live there.

Honestly if you are looking for your own place to live, depending on how far away work is, it's often a lot better to live outside the city. I live just on the southern edge of Round Rock and the general cost of living is much lower then when I lived in North Austin. I pay less on the mortgage to my three bedroom house then some apartment complexes were asking in rent for a small two bedroom in Austin.

Though this works for me because I work in North Austin, so my commute is only 20 minutes (less if I take the Mopac toll way), where traffic would likely make any commute a nightmare if you have to go near or past Downtown Austin.

Yeah, I am here in North Austin, about a mile from where I am currently living. I'm looking into places around the area, and branching out. I dont want to live right in the city, rather save the cash on an apartment up this way, and not down there.
