Also Dallas morning News put one out and you can always go to vote411. I thought I'd be able to get through it quickly but I'm an hour in and not done choosing yet.
Early voting begins here Tuesday! Let's make the news for good stuff instead of bad! I'd like to buy that Texas-shaped jalapeno grill tray and not be ashamed to use it.
You could get an extra shower curtain and hang it at the ceiling to help keep the steam inside the shower. Maybe stick a space heater in your bathroom if you want it warmer. I'd turn on the vent fan afterwards to help get the moisture out to decrease risk of mold.
I went to Cuba. We got donations of helmets, cleats, bats, etc. from a baseball academy here to give to a school. A couple of vets donated food and meds that we took to an animal shelter. We talked to a lot of interesting people and it was a really fun trip!
I watched it Monday morning and i thought it was fun. The logistics of getting everything on/off the field so quickly, plus the part where he fell through the ceiling, is crazy. The trees were people!
Here's a video of the setup. Other videos said that they used people instead of rolling them out like the building facade because this field uses natural grass so they have to limit the number and weight of the carts. One guy said he applied for the job and was chosen with about 500 others. They had to be able to tolerate a 50 pound costume for 5 hours, practiced for two weeks, and did not get to watch any of the game.

This question just came to me while I was buying a subway pass. It's priced very well, provides a very good service, doesn't suffer from enshittification, and its price increases very rarely. ...
Our art museum is free but for 100/yr we used to get a subscription that got us 4 free tickets per day to visiting exhibits that are normally $16 each, plus free parking which is normally $10 and it's across the street from a big park with food trucks and activities.
Also, the zoo and botanical garden memberships that offer reciprocity with a bunch of other zoos or gardens.
My vet is so good! 15 minutes after i leave i have an email that gives details of the appointment, explains any issues, and tells me when to follow up. I've asked her to be my primary care physician.
Recently switched a needed policy to a different company. Same policy details, $400.00 less for 6 months. They really just rely on people letting things get charged automatically. It just seems insane to me. And wastes my time having to swap back and forth. But whatever, I’ll do it.
Cute! I made one in a similar color a few years ago for a friend. Really nice for airplanes, restaurants, movies, ...places where it's sometimes chilly but not cool enough for a jacket.
Cleaned up outside- picked up chair cushions, blowy things, and stuff that could be a trip hazard if it's hidden under snow. Put up curtains to reduce drafts. Bought some breakfast food and soup ingredients. This house was without power for 4 days in 2021 so i picked up a generator from Facebook marketplace. I was hoping it would run the pool pump if needed, but it won't. Got gas and tested the generator with two space heaters- all good. Made plans with my pool girl to drain the equipment if power goes out. Downloaded a power outage alarm for my phone. Let my friends know that we would pick them (and their animals) up if needed. Today i need to find the water key just in case. Currently snuggled up and working on a movie list. It's just starting to get cold in Dallas- 24 degrees and slowly dropping throughout the day with light snow. Our biggest fears here are freezing rain on power lines and a grid that's controlled by greedy assholes.
Question for people who live in colder climates - why is it always so hot indoors? When I've been in new York, Chicago, Milwaukee, etc. in the winter it's miserable inside. It's 12 degrees outside and you step into a restaurant or shop where it feels like it's 80 degrees. You're immediately sweating because you have a jacket, gloves, etc. and you have to find someplace to put them.
I can't wait to have French toast Saturday morning! Breakfast tacos Sunday morning! And maybe some beef bourguignon, chili, or chicken soup. The house i live in now was without power for 4 days in 2021. Fingers crossed!!

Made it out of Homasote sound barrier board and covered it in wine-colored fabric. Could use some trim on the outer edges to make it look cleaner, but im not rushing to do that. Not only is it easy on the dart tips, it also deadens the overall sound of the darts hitting the dartboard.
I used to work with a guy who i often didn't understand. I thought he was cool or witty or smart and it was just over my head. Then i realized he was usually high.
True, but this guy was a stoned ding dong who was just doing what he had to do to make it through day after day coaching middle schoolers. One in five teachers are high, dumb, or crazy- or some combo. Some of those are really great teachers, some suck, most are somewhere between.
