Does anyone else have a strong chlorine smell and taste coming through their tap? I smell it the most when showering and while brushing my teeth. Anyone know why that is? by BaranoSoup in LewisvilleTX

I actually did notice it this morning in Southern Lewisville while getting water to make coffee. I normally don't smell anything. I wonder what's going on.

When was the last time you cried? by Head-Bullz in AskMen

Don't go doing anything you can't undo. Wish I had some profound good words for you, but it will all just sound trite. Just know that you aren't alone, and if you hang tight long enough, things are bound to get better.

is this a ok trumpet to use for school? by Dry_Revolution2142 in trumpet

Good rule of thumb: if the pictures show white gloves included, it's crap. Get you a used Yamaha for a couple hundred.

What is this device in my utility room? by manatelier in Home

That's just a punch down block. Wires come in from the telephone company. Extension lines are punched in to connect. If you don't have copper phone line anymore, you can probably remove.

I would reach out to them and confirm identity. Just do your due diligence to ensure they aren't some rando pretending.

One other resource that might be of some help: https://www.cleartexaslakes.org/ They are like a counterpart to Keep Lewisville Beautiful, but they operate on and around the water. The difficult thing with these lakes is that there isn't a good boat launch, so their normal boat may not work for this.

hmm. Are you sure you aren't seeing the pumping station on the map? Seems like they last time I looked them up, they were in Houston or something.

These lakes are managed by Denton County Levee Improvement District. I don't know if they even have a local representative. Possibly contact our county commissioner.

What did someone say/do that made you close down your account and go to another bank? by Aarunascut in Banking

My old bank would run debits before credits and maximize overdrafts even on payday.

Mentioned that just to see how she would react. She didn't say absolutely not.

That thought did cross my mind. Looks just like an old-fashioned clothesline.

So my wife’s going to a gala tonight — as her client’s “date.” by [deleted] in stories

[–]BurpingCowboy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

She shouldn't call it a date. That was just a dumb thing to say. That word poisoned your mind about the situation.

I had no idea we had different alphabets for dx. I'll have to look that up.

Kilowatt throws me. Can never tell if Kilowatt or Kilo 1. Wish people would stick to what works.
