my water line started leaking a few days ago and i've already had a few companies come out to take a look. the problem is every estimate has been completely different. one guy made it sound like the whole line needed to be replaced, another said it could just be one section, and the prices were all over the place.

i'm trying not to rush into it because it's a lot of money, but it's hard to know who's actually being honest and who's just trying to sell the biggest job. i don't mind paying for good work, i just don't want to regret picking the wrong company.

for those who have dealt with water line repair texas, who did you end up trusting after getting multiple estimates? what made you feel confident enough to hire them? did any of the cheaper quotes end up being the right choice, or was paying more actually worth it?

Looking for a recommendation for a good breakfast taco here. I’m from Houston and I haven’t found anything that compares. TIA

Bought a new house here about 3 months ago. I have contacted two different contractors so far about getting an estimate and installing rain gutters. The first one came and measured but we never received an estimate even after calling back and asking for it! The second company I called said they would get someone over to measure and get me an either next day. That was three weeks ago and they never showed up. Can someone recommend a company that actually keeps there word and who does good work at a reasonable price?

Looking for a touchless carwash preferably near 82nd and Milwaukee. If they offered a membership that would be great too. I know of red baron.

Are these usually available at the farmer's market on Wolfforth?

Bought a house and have a window that's completely rotted out. Need it fully replaced. Anyone have a recommendation for someone really good? Thanks.

These two have seemed to be intertwined for over two decades. Is there nothing else? Jake’s sound is pretty terrible, and it always has been unfortunately. I am grateful for them and their space, but I’d just like to see more.

And for the other…the “J” of J&B has to be one of the rudest, overly aggressive, and most unpleasant people I’ve ever met. Tonight was, yet again, another reminder.

I’d love more.

Can anyone recommend an excellent OB-GYN in Lubbock?

My husband and I live about two hours away and are almost equally distant from the larger cities in West Texas. We had our firstborn at Shannon in San Angelo, but we unexpectedly lost him at 3 weeks old due to neonatal appendicitis. Beyond the care we received, it’s simply too painful for us to return there.
I’ve been seeing Kelsey Reid, PA, at Cornerstone OB-GYN, and she has been absolutely wonderful. She is incredibly caring, attentive, and has taken great care of me. However, as my husband and I prepare to grow our family again, I learned about the Texas Medical Board’s findings involving Dr. Bookout, and it has made me hesitant to continue my care there, unless I receive plenty words of reassurance here. That is a difficult decision because I truly adore Kelsey.

My understanding is that once you’re pregnant, you’ll typically see the supervising physician throughout your pregnancy, and that physician is often the one who delivers your baby. After everything we’ve been through, finding an OB-GYN whom we can fully trust is incredibly important to us.

If you have a physician in Lubbock whom you highly recommend—someone who is compassionate, thorough, experienced, knowledgeable, and attentive—I would be so grateful to hear your experiences. Thank you so much in advance.

hi! I just moved to lubbock (24F) and have no idea where to begin with making friends/getting into a social life here, especially being post-grad.

a few questions:

1. are there any movie theaters that have memberships like AMC does? like paying monthly to see multiple “free” movies?

2. any car wash memberships that are touchless and under $30/mo? i’ll need to register 2 cars!

3. are there any student hair salons that offer cheaper trims/blowouts?

4. good bars to be social/meet people?

5. good coffee shops to chill and read a book?

6. gym memberships with cardio areas, weight room, and classes?

7. any fun book clubs? (recent reads are Red Rising, Throne of Glass, Freida McFadden books)

8. good, but not too expensive, nail salons?

also just ways to get involved and get out there!

I am looking for a roofing company in Lubbock for a roof replacement due to hail damage. Any recommendations?

I’m in my early 20’s and I’ve been living here for a few years now and I got no idea where people my age hang out other than Tech. The downside is I’m not a student, I work full time, I don’t drink so bars are out, and I’m not a social media guy so I have no idea about events and stuff till it’s long past, granted that’s if I hear about them at all. Because of this I’m in that situation where I’m almost exclusively at work or at home and I want to try to get out more and actually meet people. Any advice/places you guys know about?

I had this guy come up in my feed. I recognized a couple of the locations of his videos as being in Lubbock. His channel is still pretty small. He's helping beautify our community. Maybe some of you can repay that work by subscribing to his channel. This is just a short, silly bit, not his usual content.

This is hard to share, but my son, who just crossed his teens, resides in Texas, is currently battling kidney failure, and needs a kidney transplant to live a healthy new life again. He has always shown up for others, and now he needs someone to show up for him. Unfortunately, we do not qualify for him

I’m currently working with his transplant team at Medical City Dallas, and a healthy donor could truly save his life.

Even if you are not of his blood type O, if you are healthy, your donation can still help him through his hospital’s kidney donation swap program. Donors and recipients are paired to find compatible matches.

Zero cost to you. Our insurance will cover all medical testing and surgery. Lost wages, travel, and lodging are all covered through the Donor Assistance Program.

If you’re open to learning more or want details, please feel free to direct message me. Even sharing this post would mean so much to me.

Thank you for taking a moment to read this.

How would you feel if your health insurance company started buying the data from Flock or similar companies to raise your rates based on how many times a week you eat fast food? How many times a week you go to the gym? How often you go to bars?

What about the local gas stations knowing when your car is running low on gas, due to being able to know how much you are driving, the make and model of your car, the size of the gas tank, and when and where you leave to or from work?

And with the switch to electronic shelf labels, what about the local grocery stores knowing how often you stop to shop, and where on you route to and from work you typical shop, and when you will be running out of milk?

What about Flock's "gunshot detection" microphones knowing what type of food you have discussed lately? What about Airlines hearing about all the travel plans you and your friends have discussed in your own backyard? What about the local government hearing you complain about the mayor or police chief?

What about your car insurance company knowing how often you brake hard? How often you speed even by 1mph? How often your car is parked in public?

What about dating apps knowing when the last time you had a date? How often you hang out with friends? How about an app that uses AI to stalk and "conveniently bump into people" the users consider attractive?

What about all these cameras being hacked by foreign governments to track and kill people that they consider important?

What about real estate investors being able to track where you are looking for new homes or apartments based on your route to and from work?

Currently none of this data is illegal to obtain or share because it can be acquired in public spaces. Most of the actions done with this data would not be illegal because there is very little consumer protection in the USA. All of this would make your life more expensive, more difficult, less private, and not even that much more safe. Everybody has something to hide.

Our personal data should stay private.

hi,
I’m moving down in a few weeks and was wondering if anyone recommends a good nail tech or salon, as well as a lash tech too!
I love to support local techs, but i’d also be open to any salons that you guys think are trustworthy too☺️

You + Me + Science = A Successful Kidney Transplant!

Hi! It’s Kristine and Kelvin Shankle and we are looking for a "Teammate" to help my husband retire from his part-time job: Dialysis.

Most people think finding a kidney match is like winning the lottery..rare and nearly impossible. But thanks to modern science (and some very smart people at the National Kidney Registry), there are actually three ways you can help me get back to not dying:

Option 1: The "Direct Hit" (Direct Match)

We happen to have the same blood type and biology (type O). You donate, I receive, and we celebrate. Simple, classic, legendary!

Option 2: The "Great Swap" (Paired Exchange)

Maybe we aren't a match? No problem. You donate to a stranger who is a match for you, and in return, their donor gives a kidney to me. It’s a win-win-win!

Option 3: The "Magic Coupon" (The Voucher)

This is the coolest one. You donate on your schedule to anyone in the national pool. In return, I get a "Priority Voucher." When I’m ready for surgery, I go to the top of the list for a perfect match. You save two lives at once!

The "Fine Print" (The Good Kind):

💰 Cost to you: $0. (My insurance covers everything).

🛡️ Protection: Donor Shield covers your lost wages and travel.

🏥 Experts: We’re backed by the amazing team at Medical City Fort Worth!

If you’re healthy and a little bit curious, checking out the info takes 5 minutes and carries zero commitment.

Data centers taking over everything 👎🏼

I live in Amarillo. I am currently going through the process of service connecting my hip and back issues to a severe ankle injury while in the marines. I am also working on an increase for the ankle as I can’t lift my foot off the ground anymore. Are there any doctors in Amarillo/lubbock area that help with nexus letters and DBQs? I have relied on the VA c&p in the past and it was less than helpful, and in fact pretty dejecting. I recently went to an Orthopedist and told them my issues and what was trying to do before I went in. They seemed very helpful and even asked for my military medical records which I thought was a good sign. They even said that even though the dr doesn’t normally do ankle,but they asked him and he said he’d be more than willing to help with a diagnosis. Well, on the day of the appt, the doctor had no clue, had not looked at my records, and pontificated on how he doesn’t do ankles, and immediately says he’s never done anything with the VA. Ok, I have had terrible experiences with doctors and fully expected this, so I came prepared. I brought records with me, I brought a sample Nexus letter, I brought the DBQs, and I brought my personal notes. I told him that’s ok, I brought my records, that he doesn’t have to do the DBQs ( I wouldn’t want him to anyway now that I know he isnt familiar), and that I would really like if he could do a nexus if he felt comfortable after the appt, but I understood if he couldn’t . He could not have not have been less interested. Went through about 20 pages of my record in 5 seconds and literally tossed them into the chair next to me without a care. He looked at my ankle literally shrugged and said “ehh, I don’t know”. And since I told him that my ankle has caused my limp and hip pain over the years, he just said go see an ankle doctor and I left with Nothing. No diagnosis, no independent medical opinion, nothing. just a copay and likely a bill for X-rays. I do have PCP and podiatrist appts scheduled as well but fear the same thing is going to happen. This turned more into a rant than a question. But any advice local to the Amarillo or Lubbock area would be appreciated.

Plan on checking it out today with my friends. Can anybody tell me if this is an official urbex location for explorers?

any recommendations in the area? I’m finding out if tech’s clinic treats OCD but would love any other ideas. thank you!

Not to mention all the fuxking construction in this town, it seems like at least once or twice a month they've got 2 lanes blocked off at this intersection going north. Anyone know anything?
