  1. There probably aren't too many of you in Ellis County, but if you are, and need help, please PM me. I bought over $250 worth of firewood today to deliver to people in need and still have some left. I also have bottled water, propane, and blankets I can give away.
  2. We're in the same boat (about to build a house, not sitting on $300K). We were about to start our build early last year but stopped before breaking ground when COVID hit. Well, the price of our house has now increased $150K in that time. Hindsight 20/20 and all that shit. We still haven't pulled the trigger due to uncertainty in the airline industry and sky high construction costs. Even though construction costs are insane, I'm afraid even if they do go down a bit, the interest rates will increase making it all a wash. A part of me just wants to say fuck it and pull the trigger and hope for the best. To answer the OP's question, shop credit union checking and savings account promotions. Our SWA credit union offers 3% (it was 4% before COVID) on checking account balances up to $25,000 if you make 1 deposit and 15 transactions ($5 min) per month. The only ass pain is having to make 15 $5 Amazon gift card purchases per account, per month.
  3. I had a dream last night that Timmy came out of retirement and came off the bench giving us 15 and 10 per game.
  4. When you say one-time close, do you mean instead of the first construction loan then the refi when the house is complete? If so, let me know what you find. We're in the same boat and have been dealing with a buddy that does mortgages but he's out of state. His company doesn't do construction loans, so we'd have to go with a local bank then refi with him when the home is near completion. He explained that with a VA loan on new construction it's technically a cash-out refi which only covers 90% LTV. Putting down 10% is not impossible, but we'd like to avoid it if all possible. I was hoping we could do a one-time VA loan that incorporates it all and just closes like a normal VA loan, where I can put 0 down if I want. This would be a jumbo with us having good income, $0 debt, and my wife and I both having credit scores over 800.
  5. Show off
  6. My full on man crush for Pavs continues. F'n love that guy.
  7. I wonder how long it's been since they've scored 7 in that building.
  8. 3, X, 2 X, X, X, X 1, 1, 1, 1

  10. Nothing beats Plan B
  11. Growing up in the burbs and lived/ate/breathed basketball and I was borderline obsessed with DISD basketball. I had the pleasure of guarding Quinton Ross in a tournament my freshman year which was fun. I remember the Carter-Kimball and Lincoln-Madison battles featuring the Sasser brothers, Andre Emmet, and Chris Bosh among others. Duncanville (obviously not DISD) was probably the best of them all led by Brian Boddicker and Roosevelt Brown. My junior year we beat Roosevelt, Lincoln, and Lancaster in the playoffs to go to state where we lost to PA Lincoln. Opening the DMN every Saturday morning to check out the scores always made my sports pants go crazy.
  12. As someone who's spent a large portion of their life in Dallas, Austin, and San Antonio, but not Houston, why doesn't H-Town have an old money high school that churns out state titles?
  13. VY absolutely went off in that game so I'm not sure that's the best example to use.
  14. I don't necessarily think Klubnick is better, or that Ewers isn't a great QB. The only statement I've made is that Ewers is not the #1 recruit in the nation. That's it.
  15. And since you're comparing him to TL and I saw a Matthew Stafford comparison above, I'm assuming Ewers is a consensus #1 pick in the 2025 draft? This is the way he's being portrayed here.
  16. I'm not sure we're really comparing apples to apples here with a performance in an all-star game, but it's obvious I've stuck a nerve. Like I said, I'll happily eat crow when this guy turns out to be the next Trevor Lawrence.
  17. Sorry Mr. Ewers. Best of luck to your son next year.
  18. The only person I know that went to BA
  19. Was this the MILFiest crowd in Texas football history?
  20. Just to be clear, those of you who are negging me and telling me how wrong I am, you all believe he is the #1 recruit in the nation?
  21. If he ends up having a successful college and/or NFL career, then I'll gladly eat crow. But I just don't believe the hype.
  22. Surratt has 8
  23. He's playing for Carroll in the state title game. This isn't like he's on some RGV team with no supporting cast. I'm just saying the #1 recruit in the NATION should be able to put the team on his back and at least make this game a little more competitive.
