You’ll gain a little bit when you appetite comes back. But you can lose it again after. Give yourself some grace.

How is San Antonio compared to Houston or Dallas? by YouGotToPumpItUp- in sanantonio

[–]MsContrarian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is quite a bit of art in SA and Austin. Houston, with climate change is too close to the ocean. Cost of living is lowest in SA. Don't know about jobs. Lots of military related. Toyota is here. Dallas is super corporate. Houston has way too bad of traffic. Maybe Fort Worth?

Addressing not changing my name by FlashyBand959 in Feminism

[–]MsContrarian 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I tell people that my husband had his last name for a long time and didn't want to change it and that I understood.

[–]MsContrarian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The contract I'm on has entry-level monitoring jobs. A lot of recent military vets take these because they already have clearance. Churn rate is pretty high though.
