@ Mama Gigi-- GAH! I feel your pain. I HATE that! We were about to buy a plycraft lounge chair for $300 when the owner told us it was available, and then avoided our emails for a day and then told us it eventually sold. Ass.

In those situations, I usually like to send the "craigslist etiquette" website. The karma message is a good idea too.

Those kind of people suck. Hard.

Here is what I do:

With veggie burgers etc. I will "defrost" them in the microwave. Usually about 30 seconds. After then, I place them on the grill for the smokey flavor and heat.

I also agree with Soccorjo. The majority of people aren't familiar with grilling these types of foods, so try it yourself! Direct flame/ heat isn't usually necessary. Also, try pressing your tofu next go around! It willl soak up the marinade and taste extra "meaty"!.

Good luck!

Wouldn't it make more sense to be asking this question as you get closer to your move in date? If you're moving in a few years, I wouldn't get attached to a neighborhood now... Neighborhoods are constantly changing. This question is silly.

As an advocate who works at DV shelters and within the domestic violence realm, I am at awe of how nicely done the space is. While it is clear that a lot of people are complaining, I am wondering why no one else has brought what I've been thinking up.

The space is clearly beautiful, but I can't help but wonder how the money to furnish this one space could have been used to furnish MORE spaces. As an advocate, we know that the most common problem is unavailability of space for women fleeing their abuser. I just think that having (hypothetically speaking) 15 spaces furnished with less fancy furniture and decor rather than 8 ubber fancy apartments is way more USEFUL of the money. I mean the ultimate goal is to help the most women, not just a few who want to stay in a nice place. While shelters are less then perfect in regards to decor etc., the primary concern here is safety, not how "homey" or "nice" the space is.

Wouldn't you rather have more women be able to be safe, in a less nice apartment, rather than fewer women be incredibly comfortable in a space they're only temporarily staying in?

Just saying..

Very affordable, and awesome!

We used ABF (upack.com). If you can reserve a trailer months ahead of time, the rates are really low. Also, the amount you spent is largely dependent on the amount you pack, which is great if you dont have much stuff and/or can get rid of stuff before the move.

Also, its WAY cheaper then U-haul/Budget rentals. They drop off the trailer for you, you fill it up, and they drive it to your new house. Its makes moving across the country a lot easier (especially if you have to bring a car). I HIGHLY recommend it. Great service, great experience. Made moving a lot less stressful =D

@Kimbie --- I actually recreated the triptych myself. =D

WOW!

Thanks you guys! The posts are unbelievable. I really appreciate the help =)

My partner and I have decided that we are ultimately going to have to drive down to Austin at the end of May/ Early June and do a mad rush for housing. I'm definitely going to use this post. I've heard about the eastside having "dicey" neighborhoods, but I'm glad to hear there is some hope =) ... we live in a (perceived) "dicey" neighborhood, but its a lot safer than people think. haha.

Anyways, thank you again. ATer's effing rock!

Yummy add in?

doubly yum!

Well said artcgirl312.
