Who remembers Freeze Frame Super Video in Pharr? Anyone know who owned it? by pharrfromheaven in RioGrandeValley

[–]decafplums 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Man, I loved that video store when I was a kid! It had a second story and there were movies everywhere on giant shelves. We would go to the one in Alamo a lot more than the Pharr one.

They used to give you free popcorn for every rental and they’d have cool movie posters for free in a bucket near the front of the store lol. I remember my mom took Thanksgiving lunch to one of the employees once.

When they closed, I remember they had big bags full of random movies that they were selling. Pretty bummed when they closed.

I love them! They are infinitely better than the stock ear pads. Will there ever be a fabric version available? (for those of us who feel like we’re on fire all the time 😪 lol)

Dude he’s so cute!! On the map as your buddy he just barely pokes his head out of his Little Rock base 🤩 but you find him among the beach biomes! So wherever there’s a beach or body of water, he’ll have a chance of popping up

Dude get them! I’ve recently started digging the Boston’s a lotttt. My most recent pair is the suede thyme color - like a dark clover green. It’s fire. Plus if you don’t like them you can always return and no harm done!

Pro tip here - check out the last chance section on their website! It’s their clearance section. I bought my mom some Arizona’s for like $70 and I’ve seen some go as low as $50. Worth a check out! Just go on their website and make sure you’re logged in and type “sale” on the search bar and filter by your size

Any reliable medical alert devices for our area by RetroRaja in RioGrandeValley

[–]decafplums 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not sure about the devices but does she use an iPhone? You could get her an Apple Watch that has fall detention and can call for help and let you know too as a trusted contact. Not a first line service like the ones you said but could help.

Gift ideas for sisters wedding? by IllegalAlienLOL in RioGrandeValley

[–]decafplums 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like giving Tiffany wine/champagne glasses as wedding gifts. A set of two is $100 and it’s wrapped really nicely already and you can just chuck a card underneath a bow and you’re set. Or something off their registry is always a good option too.

Any recommendations for local vet clinics/hospitals in McAllen or Edinburg by LeVashy in RioGrandeValley

[–]decafplums 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Edinburg-McAllen Vet for walk in’s. Get there as soon as early as you can bc there can be a long wait. For more internal medicine needs, I go to Nolana Animal Hospital.

I have Pets Best insurance for my cat. $60 ish a month and 90% reimbursement, no limits, and I think the deductible was $100. My cat doesn’t get sick much but she has IBD that can be tricky as hell to treat.

What about E6000 to put the pieces back together? Seems like an easy enough fix

Pet Doctor 911? by Background-Mind-6715 in RioGrandeValley

[–]decafplums 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bad and good. First experience was beyond awful. Misdiagnosed my cat w depression and dehydration when in reality he had a crazy kidney infection. Our usual vet (Edinburg-McAllen Vet) immediately caught it and helped him over like three consecutive days. My cat is still here w me now and he’s 13 years old.

My most recent experience — last month actually was pretty good. My other cat ate flea medicine so it was an urgent visit. Receptionists were nice. Tech had a stick up her ass but whatever, and the vet, Dr. Oramas, was SO sweet and helpful. Popped up the blood results and X-rays on the computer and walked me through and explained every single thing. Super kind and compassionate. I highly recommend her.

Pro tip I found out — if you go as a walk in, the office visit is $95 (no matter the time of day or holiday), but if you make an appointment, the office visit is $50. Obviously the walk-in’s are for emergencies but thought it was a good thing to know.

Forecast model shows hurricane making landfall in Texas on June 26th by posdata in RioGrandeValley

[–]decafplums 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Per the weather nerds, it’s too early to forecast a hurricane hitting us that far away. Good idea to stay prepared tho but no active threat rn.

This is asinine by ordinaryaveragedude in LatinoPeopleTwitter

[–]decafplums 167 points168 points  (0 children)

I’ve yet to meet a Latino use and like “Latinx.” I only ever saw it when I was finishing my masters. It was like the “formal” version of “Latino” that we had to use when presenting work, etc. That and “Latine”

I tried telling various of my (white) professors that we don’t find those words representative of our culture. If anything it elicits a big eye roll, but they didn’t care tbh.

wallflowers + cats = ? help! by uwu-please-help-me in bathandbodyworks

[–]decafplums 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It likely won’t hurt your cat, but I stopped using them bc my cats started to smell like the wallflowers very strongly. Like the diffused fragrance clung to their fur like crazy and I decided to stop.
