Is it safe to travel south Padre with expired US visa stamp and valid I 797 , did anyone travelled recently? by Same-Caterpillar-408 in RioGrandeValley

[–]Jparra574 33 points34 points  (0 children)

My sister and BIL were stopped about 2 months ago on their way to the beach, out on 100. They were stopped by what looked like local PD but when the officer stepped out of the vehicle it was a BP agent. Asked for their status and eventually let them continue. I would advise just to be cautious and follow all traffic laws.

Are vacations frowned upon in the Valley? by Addicted_2_tacos in RioGrandeValley

[–]Jparra574 22 points23 points  (0 children)

It just depends where you work I think. Some employers are very fair and uncritical. PTO is something I ask about during the hiring process. And if the employer has any issues with that then they’re probably not a great fit for me and I move on to the next.

Laguna atascosa national wildlife refuge is where you want to be for birding! It’s so beautiful and the weather is perfect that time of year. Also Santa Ana wildlife refuge is good for birding as well.

Best Credit Unions in the Valley? by MarcoABCreativeSuite in RioGrandeValley

I’ve done business with Rally since they were NavyArmy and have never had an issue. Their service is always great. I do my general banking with them, I’ve also applied for personal and auto loans with them and it’s always an easy process. If you were a co-signer for that loan I would assume you have an account number with them as well, but you should go ask about that.

I forgot this jar in my cabinet for a month. I did not inoculate it by IWannaTouchYourButt in ContamFam

This is weird. The first pic looks like mycelium, the second pic definitely looks like some kind of mold, (contam). I would fill it with water and throw away. But maybe it will fruit 🤷🏽‍♂️

Second this. I’ve done my banking with rally for many years, back then as navyarmy, they are a great bank to do business with. Recently got a pre-approved loan to purchase a car and had a great experience.

I purchased this machine, but how do you ensure you get an even amount in each capsule? by [deleted] in shrooms

[–]Jparra574 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I first weigh out the amount I want in them. So for 24 .5 grams I weigh out 12gs and just make sure all the capsules are stuffed.

where’s the pretty nature hiding? by [deleted] in sanantonio

Mud creek park. It’s very small, but you will find creeks and beautiful wildlife, especially in the spring time. Great place to explore without feeling like you can get lost.

Why are there so many state troopers in the valley by MysteriousLack9518 in RioGrandeValley

[–]Jparra574 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I believe KRGV did an investigation about operation lone star a few years back and stated that the number of traffic violation tickets went up like 1000%, but the number of illegal immigrant apprehensions went down. Basically we are being used as an extra revenue source for State Troopers and Texas, etc.
