I have researched the various furniture stores in the houston, texas area and Rooms To Go and Ashley Furniture had furniture I liked for prices I could afford. However, even though BBB gives the stores fairly good ratings, consumer reviews are not good. The BBB is not reporting any complaints against Star Furniture but the store prices are a little beyond my budget as is the case with Gallery. Any suggestions would be a great help?

We found The Room Store to be pretty good. We bought a table elsewhere and then found it for WAY less at The Room Store, so we bought our leather couches there.

I have Honda Accord 1998. When I accelerate initially it goes a little back and forth (jerks) . I need to show it to a mechanic. It looks like a transmission problem since it has some delay in picking up the speed. Which mechanic shop you suggest in Houston, TX for this kind of problem?

I have used these guys a lot. the secretary is hot, they are busy all day, the morning is the best time to go. Don’t go in the afternoon or they will ask if you can leave the vehicle there for the next day.

I’ve seen the exteriors and interiors of several houses throughout West and South texas, and they all seem to follow the same pattern: One-storey bungalows, with wood-panelling in many rooms, and relatively low ceilings. Why are many built in this fashion - is it a particular architectural/cultural style? Are there many two-storey houses in Texas?

You have your big house builders who are across the state and thus use the same building designs over and over. Also it is a matter of "what works". Just like up north they have a certain way of doing things that include basements or crawl spaces depending on the frost line. You also have HISTORICAL styling in play as well. In the Northeast you have this long but thin style. Well down here the use of brick is huge. One part is the durability and protective values of brick. Also in the pre-A/C times the use of Brick also had to do with keeping the home cool. The brick absorbs the cold of the night and then as the day comes the brick keeps the home cool and then at night it releases the heat and helps keep the house warm.

How migth the owners of the houston Galleria shopping mall use the concept of cross elasticity of demand to determine the best combination of stores to operate in the Galleria?

This sounds like a very creative teacher’s homework question. Think it out.

I have lived in austin Texas area long time. Being a senior with some health problems would like to move to a less humidity state. Like to move to Arizona but don,t know if my benifit amounts would decrease in my social security and ssi.What we call Medicaid in texas is it the same in Arizona?

Nobody that does not work in those departments can give you a solid answer on this. You really have to wait till monday and call them.

I am after some poker chips for the texas holdem application on facebook.
I have tried several sellers so far but it took 12 - 24 hours for delivery.
However being the impatient person I am, I dont like having to wait lol, so was just wondering if any of you guys can recomend a site that has a rapid delivery service of chips and good price.
Thanks in advance.

I thought it was free to play on facebook? is it not?

Planning a trip late January to Colorado. I have a front wheel drive sedan in houston and it’s got normal Yokohama tires on them with only 20K miles on them. Is the trip safe with my normal tires for this time of year? Any additional suggestions would be helpful, Thanks!

I just made the trip myself. Except from Colorado to San Antonio. I live in Colorado and the weather is supposed to be good for the next week with temps in the 40’s. The roads should be fine. As for your tires, they will work good in the snow should you encounter any. Just remember to drive slow, mind your surroundings, and brake with a soft foot. No sudden corrections. To get the best performance over the 1000 or so miles you are going to drive, make sure the tires are inflated to the proper air pressure. Tires should be checked at least once a month anyway. Have a good drive and enjoy Colorado!

We are planning a trip to new york in march. We are leaving from Houston texas. Can I rent a car in houston and turn it in in New York? We plan on catching a plan back.

You can, but it will cost a lot more than returning it in Houston.

I’m getting ready to take my bridal photos and I wanted a nice unique place to take pictures in either houston or galveston.

The Green Park is always a good place.
