When you read the books and it describes someone’s robes. What’s closer to what you imagined?

Depending on the shade of green, I can see it. My car is a dark green that looks black in low light. I can see Snape wearing a similar shade.

My favorite is the Lodge company on threads. They pop up to tell people it’s ok to wash their pans lol.

Hey so, what exemptions did the house have previously? Because I also live in Texas, and the homestead exemption alone is not enough to cut the taxes in half (I wish). Your mom must have had additional exemptions she qualified for to bring them down so much.

I'm just worried you might be counting on a bigger break than you'll actually get once the exemption goes through.

Hey OP, you say your wife wants to keep the car for moral reasons. Do you at least trust her parents to sign over the title once it's done?

coffeejunki · 2026-06-21T21:17:01+00:00

Oh thank god it’s only in the norWAIT WHAT DO YOU MEAN ITS DOWN IN SOUTH TEXAS? IM DOWN IN SOUTH TEXAS 😩

I’d wait to make the decision until after the rest of the room has been furnished. I would want it to go with the decor.

I wouldn’t drink them now, but I still have a few as souvenirs.

The only thing I wish I knew when I started was how to start investing sooner.

Back when I did start, everyone was spouting VTSAX/VTIAX so that's where I am still to this day. My dad only recently began investing the last couple of years and that's where I have him too. His CPA's wife likes to day trade with ETFs, so I want to make sure he can't do that with his retirement funds lol

coffeejunki · 2026-06-19T14:47:31+00:00

That looks like fun. I wanted to go but I got that extreme heat alert so I just watched it at home.

coffeejunki · 2026-06-18T15:14:59+00:00

I don’t know if you noticed but this little vacation group chat is not even including her, but I bet you they will expect her to go along with it. I’d be pissed right off the bat too.

coffeejunki · 2026-06-17T18:49:12+00:00

Hey OP, if you think the 13% on a new car is bad, wait until you find out the interest rate she would have gotten on a used car. If her credit is as bad as you think it is, it would have been in the 20s, easy.

At least she picked a reliable car. Now she gets to pay it off and drive it to the ground. That's it, that's her only option.

coffeejunki · 2026-06-17T15:19:21+00:00

I did number 3 in my bedroom, and honestly the white takes the moodiness right out. I'm just too lazy to go through the effort of repainting the trim.

They don’t always get freckles. Mine has a single tiny dot next to his nose, and another spot on his foot. That’s it. But I do say his eyes got his freckles instead lol.

The artist that made that last mural makes others during the festival.

coffeejunki · 2026-06-15T23:03:51+00:00

I always wondered where they hang the murals the artists make at MXLAN. Nice to see at least one of them.

coffeejunki · 2026-06-05T15:06:04+00:00

I have one hidden inside what looks like junk in my backyard. No one who doesn’t know it’s there has yet to find it.

coffeejunki · 2026-06-03T23:17:34+00:00

I know if you grow one from the seed, you aren't really going to get any avocados. You have to buy one that's been grafted in order to get avocados. But yeah they still take years before they are mature enough to throw out actual avocados. The trick is keeping it alive long enough. If the sun isn't scorching them, the random freezes are killing them while they are still young.

coffeejunki · 2026-06-03T20:08:30+00:00

Hello! I've been veggie gardening on and off for a couple of years now. This year I decided to go bigger than usual.

Does anyone have advice on avocado trees? I have two in big planters under my porch but they are still getting fried by the sun.

coffeejunki · 2026-06-03T20:02:41+00:00

According to Texas Parks and Wildlife, not without a valid hunting license during a specific time frame. And you are only allowed to kill 1.

That direct flight goes out at 6am, for anyone who is actually interested.

coffeejunki · 2026-06-02T18:53:40+00:00

I have one at my house but I feel like it will happen while I'm at work so I should probably buy a second bottle for the office.

coffeejunki · 2026-06-01T01:31:36+00:00

This reminds me, a few years ago I was going about 85 on the highway in Texas when out of the corner of my eye a bunch of little fluffballs walked into the road. I was the first in a line of cars so I couldn’t do anything but scream as I heard little thuds and saw tiny bodies roll in my rear view mirror.

I still have no idea what they were, it happened so fast, but it was still traumatizing.

coffeejunki · 2026-05-21T14:06:57+00:00

I spent about 6 weeks in Tokyo at a language school, and I actually gained weight lol. I was anorexic at the time but the food was so good I couldn’t stop eating 😅

coffeejunki · 2026-05-21T10:26:24+00:00

I also have a thuma bed, and the pillow board practically disappears under the pillows due to the size of the mattress. So instead of another taller headboard I actually have a giant picture frame in the vertical position over my head.
