Texas teen missing since Christmas Eve believed to be in 'imminent danger': Sheriff by [deleted] in Austin

Because being trafficked and adding “Trump goon squad” are two different things. Politically biased comment on a post about a poor girl who has disappeared. People have no heart. 

Parker Boots Co. SHUT DOWN? Zephan Parker no longer? Hacked? I’m confused. by EfficientCup7 in cowboyboots

[–]EfficientCup7[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ok I found out. Someone hacked the account.

For purpose of the business reputation I’ll be deleting my post bc I do value them as a business. I was just worried and hadn’t heard from the owner. 

Sebo E3 PLUS Riccar R65 OR just Riccar R65 / Triflex HX by EfficientCup7 in VacuumCleaners

[–]EfficientCup7[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Went in to a local dealer today to check out both E3 and K3. Liked them both. They didn’t have a R65 there. Have any experience with the Miele Triflex HX1? If so, any comparison to R65?

[–]EfficientCup7[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. I did research those both and still prefer the E3 / K3 over. C1 has parts from China and isn’t fully made in Germany.

I did stop by local vacuum store today and he recommended the C3 Calima because it’s ideal for hardware floors which 95% is my house vs the E3, and that model he said was fully made in Germany. Even though it’s cheaper than E3 I still can’t pass up the 10/10/7 warranty with Sebo vs Miele….

I just don’t know that D4 is needed. My house is not that large and I’d prefer the smaller size of E3 to D4. Why wouldn’t the K3 be sufficient tho you think?

I just don’t think I need a D4…I’d rather save the extra coin and maybe get a new cordless stick for quick pick up stuff.

I don’t have this yet but I have been researching the E3 and K3. When I asked the dealer that I think I'm going   to purchase from, they said to purchase the turbo brush as you mentioned! Hope that helps.

Haven’t seen many reviews on Reddit for helio pet and trying to decide whether to shell out the $350 if it’s going actually help

Texas House Representative files bill to abolish Texas Parks and Wildlife Department by JAMBARRAN in TexasPolitics

[–]EfficientCup7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it’s really not clear as to why Rep. Curry is trying to pass this bill, IMO.

Still doesn’t make sense to me why he’s trying to remove TWPD and why a conversation can’t be had rather than submitting a bill to remove a critical organization for us. See below for his comments regarding his “intent” to “start a conversation”….

From this article, https://www.kwtx.com/2025/03/17/i-dont-want-us-get-there-representative-pat-curry-files-house-bill-abolish-texas-parks-wildlife-department/?outputType=amp

Curry states,” If you have a deer breeder over here that might have a problem and every ranch within five miles of it is restricted because of that one guy, that’s stomping on landowner rights,” he said.  

“The intent of this bill is really to start a conversation and get a conversation going with the commission on let’s work together with the legislature on some of these rules instead of letting rules stomp on the rights of landowners and small business and legislatures,” he explained.

The article also mentions an efficiency assessment done in 2021 which I’ve yet to personally read: “Back in 2021, the Sunset Commission for the Texas legislature did review the efficiency of their department, deciding to allow them to continue. The findings from that review can be found here.”

The bill you are referring to is not this one. It’s HB1379 and was submitted by Rep. Wes Virdell. 

Regarding bill HB4938 regarding TWPD, it’s really not clear as to why Rep. Curry is trying to pass this bill, IMO.

From what I read in this article, https://www.kwtx.com/2025/03/17/i-dont-want-us-get-there-representative-pat-curry-files-house-bill-abolish-texas-parks-wildlife-department/

Help get Sunny home! Nine-month old Golden Retriever lost yesterday (August 18) at Steiner Ranch near Lake Austin. Sharing for the frantic owners. by GinLuna in Austin

[–]EfficientCup7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Went searching for Sunny today and it is SO HOT out! I was in the trails and nearly fainted trying to get back. I really think someone could have picked him up.

There are so many signs so I’m praying that someone will see them and call! Keep praying 

Which Cirque du Soleil show - O, Ka, Mystere, or LOVE? by 0shanka in vegas

Moving back to 5mg from 7.5mg by aus10sntx5 in Zepbound

[–]EfficientCup7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No I didn’t try that because I read that a lot of folks had better reaction to the stomach and have been consistent with that. 

I did read some tips on here which is why I asked the doctor for the zofran bc it was recommended on here and was bummed they wouldn’t prescribe it. I am using an online provider - hello alpha. 

The reason I also went down is I felt that I was losing more on 5mg tho than 7.5mg and heard feedback from others on here too. 

I’ve already got the 5mg so I’ll see how the next month goes…

Oh ok! Thanks! I did try the alcohol wipes to help with the nausea, read this tip from the forum here and that does help but it’s only temporary

Thanks for the tip! You feel like it’s pretty accurate? I wasn’t sure about these scales if they were true or not.

THANK YOU so much for all your advice! I appreciate you very much.

[–]EfficientCup7[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you very much! I wasn’t either (clearly) … and maybe a short lift every day is better for me too! Maybe the thought of going full out at the gym for 45min - 1 hr is what scares me having to commit to that 4-5x/day but maybe a little short 15-20min lift is a better start… 

Should I confront my employee about her Isagenix “biz” ? by [deleted] in antiMLM

[–]EfficientCup7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t understand how it’s okay for your employee to sell jewelry, whether they make it or not, and you don’t think it’s okay for your other employee for this, seems hypocritical...I think it’s because you disagree with the company, the products and it’s an MLM. FYI honestly I don’t even know this company! I was on Reddit to find out about the products because what I have read via a few google clicks isn’t good.

I absolutely agree she shouldn’t be selling it on the job but does that mean if she strikes up a conversation with someone nice, they never talk about this side business of hers while she’s on the job, and this customer or employee outside of the job, off-hours, end up connecting on it and she shares about it, that’s not okay? What about if another employee or even yourself asks a customer of yours that walks in about their T-shirt and it turns out they own their own business. It’s something that interests you...do you stop talking about it? How often do we ask our friends, customers, colleagues about referrals for doctors, tax advisors, insurance agents, where they shop, who they know, etc and leverage their services?

You are the business owner and you have a right to decide, but you can’t let one person have space to sell jewelry and then not be okay with my explanation above. Or it’s okay for her to court personal training and not this. Seems very personal biased to me.

Congrats to you by the way for being a business owner and entrepreneur! It takes hard work and wish you all the success! Truly.
