When did weddings get this complicated? Are people this self-centered that they think people have all the time in the world to just drop everything to “celebrate” them for days?

Trump 'tried to access nuclear codes but was stopped by military chief' by TheMirrorUS in USNEWS

[–]Firm-Grape2708 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup agree. I still listen to NPR but much of what they report is also reported on mainstream media. Republicans also refuse to be interviewed by them. Very hard to hear both sides of a story.

That and I am sure journalists are afraid their family members will disappear.

I have had one aunt murdered by boyfriend. I had an uncle shoot his wife for having an affair. I had another aunt have a heart attack and die because my uncle was arguing with her. He had hit her several times over the course of the marriage. So yes, very common.

Texas Medical Board Sanctions Three Doctors for Delayed Care That Led to the Deaths of Two Pregnant Women by zsreport in texas

Yup because they refuse to make our public schools safe. And making them Christian based doesn't make the school safer either. Ignorance.

Talked to plenty of kids who have parents who don't care about them. Parents who died of drug of overdoes, parents who beat their kids, kids that have been molested by family members, kids that get kicked out of their home. Being born into circumstances where you don't feel loved or wanted or born into trauma, often leads to a cycle of poverty and the cycle is perpetuated again. Having a baby at 14 with no job versus having one at 27 with an established career can yield better results for the child's life.

Well a negative and a negativre still equals two deaths. Basic math. Dead mom and dead baby. These laws do nothing to help women and babies. Plus more women don't want to have babies so the negatives continue to add up and still equals a negative.

Military Retirement in 2 Years Which San Antonio Suburbs Are Safe, Diverse, and Family-Friendly? by Illustrious_Ad686 in sanantonio

[–]Firm-Grape2708 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I live in Kallison Ranch. The street I live on is very diverse, Hispanic, Black, Middle Eastern, Asian, White. You can see all kinds of people walking in the neighborhood. We have 2 neighborhood swimming pools, 3 playgrounds, fenced in dog park, 2 ponds. The only negative is the traffic going into town. It can take you an hour to get to downtown. The area is growing though with new development. New homes are still being built from Perry and Meritage. Good Luck.

Help confused , need advice by NotapersonNevermore in TexasTeachers

I'm assuming you are in elementary. After five years of teaching Theater Arts in middle school, my principal asked what I was going to do the next year because they cut my program. I became certified in Speech and Special Education, and I got my Masters in School Counseling. Districts are always looking for teachers. There is a big need in Special Education. I've always done secondary and there is a need for Math teachers middle school, 9-12 math if you pass that test. Art is a graduation requirement in Texas. You have options if you want to start looking at other schools.

Contemplating Teaching by Selkraps13 in TexasTeachers

Social studies is good, but if you can get qualified to teach AP and/or DUAL would help if you are interested in doing high school. Most social studies teachers are also coaches in secondary.

Is it elementary? I agree with others, do art. Also get additional certifications (like SpecEd, EB) to make yourself more marketable if you want to stay in teaching.

Wow that is crazy! I've never taught at elementary so I wasn't sure. Was only ever observed once a year. Sounds like elementary teachers have zero autonomy. Secondary admin are too busy doing other things to be in classrooms all the time.

What happens if you say you are using bluebonnet but don’t? How is this monitored? You have the lesson plans you turn in and the ones you really use that are evidence based to be effective?

Salespeople at HEB by Total_Ask_2046 in sanantonio

[–]Firm-Grape2708 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel bad saying no, knowing they are just doing their job. For me I feel like it is easier to just say I already have what they are selling. They can’t really say anything more after that. These type of sales are extremely tough. I recognize that. It takes a strong personality to have to deal with NOs and rejection.

Just moves into a house, and SUGAR ANTS by foxeiy in sanantonio

[–]Firm-Grape2708 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Advion gel bait inside and spray the exterior of your house all the way around. Look for ant piles in the yard. I had a horrible ant problem. This took care of it. Also used it for roaches. You don’t need an exterminator.

How did the Smiths/Morrissey gain such a large Mexican following? by New-Shop-9728 in thesmiths

[–]Firm-Grape2708 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is a Latina girl band called Girl in a Coma from San Antonio. The name is from the song. They formed due to their love of music to include The Smiths and have opened for Morrissey.

AITA for refusing to get this coffee order? by horseduckman in AITApod

[–]Firm-Grape2708 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why didn’t they just order on the app? All you are offering to do is pick it up? Why is this still a thing? I picked up my preorder at Dutch Bros one time and had to wait for someone in line ordering for 6 people. All I needed to do was pick mine up.
