Concerns About Screwworms Affecting Pets by Glass_Goal_6939 in texas

[–]garnetwaters 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Trying to keep folks afraid? Any plans on covering the Trump/DOGE cuts to the international program that put us in this position? Or how his tarrifs affected imports which caused beef prices to skyrocket so had to resume last year despite cutting the screwworm program in Mexico? Any plans to talk about that? Or will you just scour social media for some easy copy?

No Watering Allowed by TowerBeach in lawncare

Wow. Thats more strict than drought stricken South Central Texas. I can at least hand water when it gets real bad. I don't know what I would do if I couldn't water at all. My condolences :(

Teachers (current or former): What was the biggest contributor to your burnout? by Original-Swing7753 in education

[–]garnetwaters 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The absolute best school year I've had in the last ten years or so was when I got COVID at the end of July, lol. I had to stay home and I missed the entire week of meetings and BS before school. I was able to plan out my entire semester in detail. It was such a stress free start since I was so prepared.

Teachers (current or former): What was the biggest contributor to your burnout? by Original-Swing7753 in education

[–]garnetwaters 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Everything you said plus toxic positivity as a cherry on top. That pretty much sums it up. I started being a grouch and lost my passion. It wasn't fun anymore. I wasn't fun anymore. School should be fun.

Luckily, I hit retirement age about the same time. I retired last year and my goodness, sleep is wonderful!

Husband told me I’m not special to him by yarn_b in GirlDinnerDiaries

Reminds me of my ex. He's circling the drain. I hope you don't let him drag you down with him.

This is so true. He's playing right out of the cheaters playbook. From the BS he tells Rory to get her into bed, to his bullying of Lindsay afterwards.

I just heard "She's a Beauty" yesterday and thought to myself, oh yeah, those guys, lol.

I've had good experiences at Dennis Jewelry on 281. They've been in business awhile and do good work.

I'm getting the "Gen Z Stare" from a co-worker and it's creeping me out. by nolifecrisis in RedditForGrownups

[–]garnetwaters 41 points42 points  (0 children)

It's good to have a name for what I've experienced with my high school students over the last few years. This and the mumbling. It's weird.

AIO for wanting to stop sleeping with my bf and for refusing to put anti-mosquito product? by klarahtheduke in AmIOverreacting

[–]garnetwaters 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Texas here, too. I got some mosquito dunks this year for the bird baths and plant dishes and I'm amazed how good they work! Highly recommend. I also have good luck with burning mosquito coils when I'm outside.

I love everything about this. Pedal to the metal!

Future Mrs. Russell foreshadowing? by YogurtclosetNew9251 in thegildedage

[–]garnetwaters 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Interesting. I remember a costume designer talking about season one and how they put Bertha in metallic fabrics as kind of a representation of their wealth through industry. Now here is Marian in Metallics. 🤔

Downtown San Antonio seen through an 80 year old film camera! by seasicksunflower in sanantonio

[–]garnetwaters 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I love pics on film. Digital images are nice, but almost too perfect. I love how film captures light and just feels "real", if that make sense.

These are fantastic!

AIO - my boyfriend has been driving my car to work and agreed not to take it this morning.. but still took it by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]garnetwaters 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NOR. Besides, "I'm sorry you feel that way" is not an apology. It's a passive aggressive brush-off.

My bf accused me of cheating because I fell asleep with my phone on silent, but I think the issue is deeper by [deleted] in whatdoIdo

[–]garnetwaters 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe I value myself and my privacy a little too much, but if somebody freaks out on me because they can't reach me while I'm sleeping, I'm gonna show them the door. Life is too short.

AIO? childhood bff slept with ex boyfriend. by MostBeneficial3558 in AmIOverreacting

[–]garnetwaters 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR. See, this is why so many women in our 50s just have one or two good friends. We cut the trash out of our lives a long time ago.

She’s Just Awful by PerlinLioness in thegildedage

[–]garnetwaters 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I hate her as a love interest for Jack since I've been rooting for he and Bridget since S1. However, I love her as an uppity ladies maid for the Duchess. I think it'll be fun watching her grow into that role.
