ask2manyqs asked: Anybody knows of any furnished suites/apartments in Houston and Austin, TX?
I need to stay there for a month or so, but I am looking for something cheaper than, say, Residence Inn, Extended Stay America, Oakwood, Hawthorn Suites, AmeriSuites, Candlewood Suites, etc.
I am looking for something along the lines of “Budget Suites of America” [www.budgetsuites.com] where they have a weekly rate of about $199.00 in Dallas and San Antonio, TX.
Any Texas natives know of anything like that? Something that isn’t a big, expensive hotel chain? Preferably not infested with roaches/rodents or in a rough neighborhood…
And yes, I’m checking Craigslist every day.
Thanks!!

papyrusbtl asked: I missed this on the news–the woman (a dentist) who drove her car over her husband in the hotel parking lot and was sentenced to murder(?)—what country did she originally come from? They were both dentists, he was cheating on her, and the case is famous. But I missed the detail of what country she came from originally. Thanks if you know.

c b asked: I am looking for a place to hold a wedding ceremony & reception (hall or or large home/hotel) for 700+ people. I am already aware of weddingchannel.com, Safari Texas Ballroom, theknot.com, myhoustonwedding.com & wedding-reception-banquet-halls.com. Just wondering if any professionals or locals know of any places by name. If they accept outside caterers (Indian or vegetarian) that would be great too. thank you

john m asked: I was wondering a lot about the training done on Fort Sam Houston for the Army Trainees. My Wife will be going there as a 68P for 46 weeks.
I am stationed about 6 hrs away.
Will I be able to visit her on the weekends?
What are the chances she’ll be able to stay with me if I got an on base hotel room?
Will she be able to have her car?
How long until she can leave base?
I have also heard that after her 22nd week of training she may get moved to another base.
Any insite would be great as it’ll help me prepare for after her basic training. Thanks
Also, is there internet access within the Dorms for 68P, or will my wife need to get wireless on base somewhere?
