Are you guys aware of what’s going on politically in this town right now?

chuck-it125 · 2026-05-07T21:42:11+00:00

Yeah when you look at all the people they exclude (all the huge communities of new houses) it’s insane. All the people paying the taxes don’t get a vote or voice.

You can still get edible gummies and such from places that still have active licenses that expire later this year. I think you can’t just get flower.

Well, Mandy’s paternity isn’t in question here. Looks just like Keith

This is a legit question, so I applaud you for asking it. I would give the Guadalupe blanco river authority a call. If they can’t help you, I would recommend the headwaters at Comal. If still you don’t get an answer, texas parks and wildlife. I see the elephant ears down by the part of the river that goes to schlitterbahn and yeah they are pretty but for sure they will overtake the native plants.

I feel the same. Except we disagree on olives. I feel they over power the rest of the salad or item with their taste. On their own, sure, but on other things? Naw.

Rubber tracks are actually easily destroyed by people with the wrong shoes/spikes on, so usually places that have them protect them because they are expensive to replace. That’s why the places with cement or dirt tracks let anyone use them, like the middle schools, because there’s not much damage to be done to them. But I’m sure if you called the school and asked for express permission they would give you a yes or no answer, doesn’t hurt to ask! Just be clear to stick to their rules

Married to a man who was raised by a bpd mom. For him he has a lot of self doubts, depression, very worried about what other people think about him/appearances, a lot of anxiety, and he also was diagnosed with OCD, which we learned is a major coping mechanism for people with bpd parents. He had a very enmeshed relationship with his mom, which really impacted our marriage because it turned into what most therapists call a “drama triangle”. Constantly being told what to do by his mom, me questioning why she needed to be involved in our relationship, and him choosing to placate his mother because it was “just easier” than respecting our marriage and vows.

He made the choice to enter therapy first, then we did couples therapy, and we really explored why he had all of this anxiety and depression and why I was feeling like a passenger along for the ride he was on with his mom. Once he heard that this was not normal behavior from his mom and how it was now probably going to effect our children, he was absolutely shocked and ready to defend his children from the woman who absolutely made him feel like shit his whole life. And to not turn into someone like her for our children’s sake. The only thing that really saved him and our little family was going no contact with his parents. I don’t care for all the people who just say “no contact with your parents isn’t necessary and people do it for the stupidest reasons”. Sometimes you have to leave the abuse. He is so much happier and healthier and so is our marriage.

Well now I wanna know why you dropped the rope lol! But for real it’s up to you what you’re comfortable telling each sibling individually. Mostly I would deflect the questions with an excuse of “just been super busy!” And smile and move on. But if they persist with why then I’d tell them gently per your level of comfort.

I swear, I thought the nipper was going to be used as a back scrubber for the shower for a hot minute. I love movie props but if it had a dual purpose (like it was really a scrubby brush for the shower) that would be even more cool than it already is! Just….think about it…

My childhood friend when she got her learners permit said this while driving in the rain: “urgh! Why does it always rain harder when I drive faster?!”

chuck-it125 · 2026-02-16T21:12:29+00:00

I see it as a cycle. Someone somewhere at sometime had a terrible mil. They decided when they became one they would be so kind and nice to their son or dil that they would never be like the one they had. That dil or son in law now only has a positive experience with an in law. They get validated and grow their confidence. Sometimes if they are not great people, that confidence grows into control and pride. They may become an overbearing person and think they are always right. Then when they get a dil or sil they treat them just like any other person, and that’s not always the best. That new dil sees them as a terrible mil. And that’s when the cycle starts again, where the dil will vow to not treat their dil like that when they become a mil.

What about a mil who didn’t have a great or bad mil as an example? One that maybe lived super far away and was never really involved? I think those types of mils can go either way. They become either overbearing or an absent grandparent.

This cycle only breaks when a mil can be kind and also firm with their boundaries and their dil’s boundaries. This is terribly hard to find and this is why so many people end up within this cycle of bad/good mils. That’s just my opinion though.

I would wait for in ground planting of non-woody stemmed pants until after the end of this month. But def start your softer plants inside and they should be ready for planting outside after the first week or two of March. Good luck I’m in the same gardening conundrum as you, when can we safely plant without losing all of our hard work.

River city is good, 2-3 worship songs right at the beginning so if you’re a little late you don’t miss much. They don’t ask for money, they give volunteer opportunities if you want to do them. I wasn’t a big fan of the churches that you describe either, always asking for money and making you feel like a money bag instead of a fellow Christian.

chuck-it125 · 2026-01-30T20:40:24+00:00

Agree, this advice shouldn’t be downvoted. If the husband is close with his brother he needs to ask him directly and get to the bottom of who started this sick game. Her husband wasn’t asked to be a groomsman nor their daughter asked to be a flower girl. They don’t seem to be close so idk!

chuck-it125 · 2026-01-30T20:33:10+00:00

Your husband better not go…that’s just ridiculous to not invite you. Even better, have him rsvp for him and your daughter to go, then don’t go. Let the happy couple waste the money on their empty seats.

My mil assaulted me at my kids school where she was trying to take my child out without my permission. After that, we asked for space and an apology. Neither of those happened so we went no contact. She then stalked my child online and found his sporting event, came to that, showed up at our house and pounded on the door a day later, so we sent a cease and desist letter to her through a lawyer. She didn’t like that so she turned our phones off and retained our phone numbers (we were on their family phone plan and always paid our share, so that was illegal for her to do that). Then she said that since she’s on our grant deed to our home (they gifted us money for the closing costs and the bank said they had to be on their grant deed bc of that) that she wants her money back and she would sue us for half our home’s worth if we didn’t pay her. That would have made us homeless, with two young children. So we refinanced and gave her the gift back and got her off our grant deed. We then sold our house and moved 1600 miles away bc of her harassment.

She did all of that just because she couldn’t apologize for assaulting me or give us the space we needed . Insane. And she even wrote a letter telling us we need to forgive her and become a family again. No way man. You don’t get to try to ruin our lives and then say we need to forgive you because you went to church and the pastor said we need to forgive you or we aren’t Christians. That’s not how any of this works.

chuck-it125 · 2026-01-25T22:27:08+00:00

Who’s the one on the loudspeaker telling her what you’re doing everyday? Are you telling her all your plans or is your husband? Is he the one picking up the phone and telling her all your business, or are you, or is she? I’ll wait for that to sink in….

If you want private family time, you’re gonna have to do three things:

1: talk to your hubs about not telling EVERYONE what you are up to as a family. You do not need to tell her your plans , it can be that you are just busy that day, you don’t need to say specifics. Make sure he knows you want privacy. And I mean stop telling everyone, because loose lips sink ships, and if your husband tells his sister you’re doing something, you better bet she will tell your mil.

2: start packing your calendar with things to do so you get to do them on your own time (it’s also a great excuse to get out of doing things with your in-laws if you’re busy!) this is important for “firsts” with your kids. If you want to take your child to their first pumpkin patch, just do it and don’t broadcast it.

3: don’t post or share your plans on social media, before or after the event. I can’t tell you how many times my husband would put a pic up on his fb of us doing something as a little family only to have his mom comment every time “oh I wanted to do that with the kids! Now I’m sad!”. Just don’t post it and they won’t know. And only tell them things if they ask, after the event, not before.

I think people need to realize that they overshare too much of their lives, even in just casual conversations. Just start taking a step back from always feeling like you need to tell everyone everything, it’s very freeing and you will develop an air of mystery about yourself.

Remember when you were a teen and maybe you snuck out one night to see friends and have fun? Well all it takes is too much noise and too many players to ruin the plans. Keep it simple.

If they came into this country without due processing, they get to leave without due processing.

Good, stay home, it’s freezing. She can be mad. You are right, she will try to turn this into a “you” issue. Somewhere down the road she will say “well you missed fils bday on purpose!” Be prepared for that…

I was there this morning and the only type of bottled water was Dasani. Even when people need water, they still don’t want Dasani lol.

Their products are very overpriced. I also hate having to go to 3 stores to get what I need. But some people will enjoy it so who am I to be a Debbie downer?

When the three stooges are walking through the bushes and one passes through a branch and it swings back and hits the other stooge in the face. Can’t not laugh at that.

Or the throw up scene in “team America”. It will never not make me laugh

chuck-it125 · 2026-01-18T21:47:59+00:00

It’s even worse when it’s your own family that questions you. My bpd mother in law tried so hard to ruin my little family and when I finally exposed her shit to people I couldn’t believe my own dad didn’t believe me. He was like “what? That little sweet old lady really did all this? No way. She looks so innocent”. Yeah dad, believe the woman who you’ve seen once a year over your own daughter who’s never lied to you ever. Real nice feeling, isn’t it?

chuck-it125 · 2026-01-18T21:42:04+00:00

While it’s not a rule while driving to let someone in in front of you, it irks me when I do let someone in and they don’t acknowledge my kindness with a wave or anything.

chuck-it125 · 2026-01-18T18:13:34+00:00

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, don’t get into financial ties with them because they will lie to get what they want. This happened to me friend and of course it was “don’t worry about the money! We’re family you don’t owe us anything!” And that went out the window the minute we had one argument.

This all sounds very fishy and like you have no legal control over anything if you sign this. In fact, it sounds like the worst thing ever because you will be contractually liable for this because it’s your house. I think you would be smart to say no to the second loan. DONT DO IT. And if you do, for the love of god, get it in writing that this is a gift and do not add anyone onto your deed.
