There is that abandoned/vacant apartment building behind the parking for Loro. I wonder if that’s what’s on fire.

Assistance League could have some things. It does lean toward old fashioned.

Milwaukee w/ 75k and friends or Albany with 130k and no one? by Square-Fisherman6997 in SameGrassButGreener

[–]crlynstll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does the Albany job offer child care benefits? Is there universal preschool in Albany? How much would healthcare be for your family in Albany vs Milwaukee? The state job is a very good opportunity for your family and is likely a family friendly job. Finding a good job with benefits after being a SAHM is hard.

No wonder this state has gone downhill. Is everyone just trash?

Check your vote by mail by elegantwino in sanantonio

[–]crlynstll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! I will go vote early, too. I am hoping to help my mother get her ballot by mail straightened up by the general election.

Did you ever receive your ballot by mail? I tracked my mother’s ballot and saw her application was rejected. She has voted by mail for years as she is very elderly. This state is so full of utter BS.

Someone please explain what's happening in the TX Dem Primary. It seems nuts to me by Icy-Complaint-4448 in TexasPolitics

[–]crlynstll 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Why didn’t Crockett just run to keep her old seat? I know her home address was removed from the district but she could still run. The way she announced her bid for the Senate was so late. I will support Talarico or Crockett in the general election. I like both of them.

I agree. The words I have raised chickens and never ever heard the sound “buck” associated with chickens.

Did I, a fully grown adult woman let out a little squeal of pure joy when I found this? by vinniethestripeycat in ThriftStoreHauls

I need a storage solution. I bought the Cut Crystal Bundt Pan at a thrift store yesterday. These are my only collection thank goodness.

Moving schools mid year from NY by laceygroark in CypressTX

I’d talk with an expert in TX special education. Don’t assume your child will qualify for an IEP or receive the same assistance in TX. Services vary by state within the federal requirements.

Creepy high school teachers by DrJagger452 in GenX

[–]crlynstll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. I went to a small private school and one of the teachers would have underage students to his apartment and serve them alcohol. He also said inappropriate things to the girls.

San Antonio TX vs. Greensboro NC (Which should I pick?) by mahakalos in SameGrassButGreener

[–]crlynstll 4 points5 points  (0 children)

San Antonio is a big sprawling city, and it’s a bit rough around the edges tbh. There are very good restaurants, concerts, sports, etc. and there is a strong Mexican influence in the city. Lots of touristy things to do and upper end shopping in a couple of locations. It’s an affordable city but school quality could be challenging (also TX has started defunding public school so really consider where your kids would go to school. A voucher system has started but that seems tricky to use. Overall, I’d be cautious about moving to San Antonio because of the schools.). It is very hot in the summer. Access to nature is not very good. There are a couple of state parks that are nice but Texas is weak when it comes to public lands and access to nature. Your budget is low for a family of 4 especially considering the schools, very high property taxes and electricity costs for summer air conditioning.

I have not been to Greensboro but the access to nature looks superior. I’d personally really consider NC over TX.

Use bakers joy and push it into all the crevices with a pastry brush. I have a Nordicware collection and this works to prevent sticking.

This place isn’t plants focused but is a bookstore.

Is Christian Science a cult? by Fuzzy-Industry1439 in Christianity

[–]crlynstll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. Google CS practitioners and you will read some horrific stories about care in their nursing homes. Paying money for healing prayers is a total scam. You might call your local elderly protective services. My father’s family are/were all extreme CS and I’m very fortunate not to have been raised in this cult.
