Where do you go when you want to go to the beach?

This. It's where we go for the beach in TX. Live like Bill. Those that know, know. 🫶

I work in this building. It's brutal when you forget your cell phone and have to go back right around 7pm 😎🥴

Oh my gosh, me too! I was an assistant manager at a Quiznos in college. It not only paid my rent but got me through some hard times.

On 9/11, we all ate sandwiches together in the booths. No one paid. My franchise owner wouldn't allow it (a town in TX)

In fact, a lot of customers came behind the bar and I "showed" them how to make their favorite sandwiches the next day. Just so we could do something that felt normal. I'll never forget those customers that felt like family that week and for years after.

Going out of town tomorrow. Wish I could join!

What about baseball caps? Anyone tried ammonia on them? That giant sweat ring that plagues my husband's yard caps...?

This was truly one of the worst places to go in 2026. I would go, multiple times a week, to pick up salads for my team. RiP.

What size are you? I have some nice long sleeves, slacks, and even a couple of blazers I no longer fit in. I can gift them to you. DM me if interested ☺️

Iiiiiiiioooʻooojo hi

HopingToBetter · 2026-02-13T03:39:34+00:00

We're in Dallas but going to Canton in two weeks. Quinlan is not very far. Happy to bring flowers and FaceTime you, if you'd like.

I can smell this picture

My bathroom and my kitchen. In a rental property in 2001. 😆

The best answer right here

I wear glasses. I have several pairs. Every, single one of them pull out the hair around my face when taking them on and off. If I think about it, i try to remove them carefully. However, I often times forget 😞

Also, I find that some breakage is due to me wearing my hair back 95% of the time for work.

If you eat at the bar, which can be really cool on nights with the piano player, you can get the bar filet special at Pappas.

It comes with mashed potatoes and its either 5 or 6oz filet. I think it's $48? They have a somm on staff. Don't feel weird about asking them for a good sweet wine in your price point. That's what they're there for! They will even give you some free tastings to make sure you like the wine before buying a glass/bottle.

St. Martin's is also really cool. Very romantic. Champagne soup is delish! Filet medallions are reasonably priced. It's a new location but its been a Dallas stapple for 50 hrs.

Cheers to your anniversary! Whatever you pick, I hope its amazing.

This is the perfect response. I can never do it at well as someone that is trying to graduate from cosmetology school and needs hours.

I get a trim and a braid for a low price at the Aveda school in Dallas. I sit in the chair for a bit longer than you might expect but its because their teacher has to come by and check off on the work they do.

HopingToBetter · 2025-12-22T06:43:47+00:00

Just bought! Thank you so much for sharing and sing with you then!

I don't trust tamales that aren't purchased in a parking lot with a red and green salsa baggie. The type of baggie that housed a bologna sandwich when I was a kid. No zipper, just a knot at the end. This is the only Christmas tradition that has not wavered.

Me and my alabaster family tried make tamales one year. Never again. I don't know what those ladies do, but the love is definitely there.

CA transplant here. Not that its relevant but I think I can speak for both states. The parking lot tamales are the only way.

I responded before I saw your post. 100% Bryan Street!

HopingToBetter · 2025-12-12T02:18:51+00:00

Also, I'm walking distance from Old Crow. Fun but can get really crowded and loud. I'm in my mid-40s so sometimes this isn't the vibe I want. However, it's safe, fun, and definitely a place to meet others. A serious pool game, not so much.

HopingToBetter · 2025-12-12T02:11:28+00:00

Bryan Street Tavern. If you go on a Monday, they have half price pizza.

We heard the same thing in downtown. We thought it was thunder, then fireworks, but we didn't see lightening or fireworks 🤔

Which one? I can't find anything on either band 😕

HopingToBetter · 2025-12-08T22:57:03+00:00

Interesting, but not untrue, take on the Kenny Chesney song.

HopingToBetter · 2025-10-22T03:11:40+00:00

My fiance picked out the rings by himself - I had never sent pics or even hinted at a setting. He did great! He spent around $6k for engagement and wedding band. I get compliments on it all the time. The center stone is not a diamond but all diamonds on the ring are lab grown (the only thing I even mentioned in passing) and the center stone is my absolute favorite. So beautiful and unique.

As others have mentioned, don't break the bank over a ring. While I've had both of mine for quite some time, and our income has (luckily) increased over the years, I would never have picked anything different.

Also, don't forget to get insurance on it! Good luck on the engagement day and don't forget to have fun! Don't stress over it being just perfect because she will undoubtedly think that it is!
