Politics Mega Thread (MOD ONLY) POLITICS MEGA THREAD

4 Upvotes

Welcome to week # of the politics mega-thread! Once again, this will be a free-for-all without censorship. The thread, and our sub, are open to all walks of life. Everyone participating needs to remember that not everyone shares the same opinion, and cussing someone out, censoring different opinions, or being downright disrespectful only weakens your own argument.

While national politics often affect Texans, politics in the mega thread MUST be related to Texas in some way, shape, or form. Unnecessarily bringing up national politics in our state sub without direction creates disagreements, and detracts from the nature of the sub. You must make the relation to Texas CLEAR, or your posting will be removed! Here’s an example; “Federal immigration policy impacts Texas by influencing border security, state resources, and the economy due to its long border with Mexico.”

As a reminder, I am once again stating that POLITICAL POSTS AND COMMENTS DO NOT LEAVE THIS THREAD. The sub rules still apply here.

By posting rule-breaking content, you are disrespecting both the sub, your fellow members, and moderators, and WE, as moderators, reserve the right to take down your content when it violates our rules.

Mega threads will be locked when the next is posted.

Central Texas How did you handle a parent’s estate when nobody in the family lived nearby?

23 Upvotes

My dad lived outside Austin and I’m the executor, but none of us live in Texas anymore. I can handle some of the paperwork from home, but the house is what keeps causing problems. Every time something needs attention there, it turns into figuring out who can go by or whether I need to book another trip. I’ve already flown down once and I really don’t want this to become a regular thing for the next few months. Anyone handled a Texas estate from another state?

The best Rootbeer you ever would have in your life was the original in Longview.

Rumors were that Sonic Drive In copied the idea of the pull up car hop and push button system from them.

Living in Texas Is there a movie theater in Texas under the $1.50 admission at Morris Theatre? Or is it the cheapest now?

58 Upvotes

it went up to 1.50 from .99 cents around 2003. They say they have one of the oldest popcorn machines in Texas as well but I don't think they bothered to confirm it.

more fun fact: The road had renamed shortly while Rodney Dangerfield was in town for debut of Meet Wally Sparks, but changed back sometime. The kids in Morris/Daingerfield got out for school early.

Warning: no handicap sized bathrooms and theater 2 is upstairs.
