Middle school behavior, Crosswalks, and Texas government

Middle school behavior, Crosswalks, and Texas government

I came here to vent about the ever growing chasm between reality and the focus of our state leadership. I’m an 8th gen Texan, and my accent just returned while sharing with my husband another example of how this state wastes money and time. In this instance it’s Abbot’s denial of permits for painted crosswalks. I’m so dang tired of our governor and his gang dwelling in such juvenile behavior while I’m spending my days doing meaningful work like attempting to raise functional, potentially employable children, working 10 hour days in corporate American, and squeezing in laundry and food. Have I seen any of these crosswalks? Has anyone who is claiming to be against the crosswalks seen them? I haven’t because of said focus on meaningful activities. The latter- of course they haven’t. It’s middle school performative politics over at the capital and Abbott is the Vice Principal. They are treading on all of us. We need another Ann Richards around here and a legislature that passes bills, but instead we are paying them to party during the leg.

We do not need another term for anyone connected to this administration. In the meantime, thank you for your attention to this matter.

Is this wall too tall for a mural?

I’m thinking it would be very difficult to find something wouldn’t look odd at the top. Thoughts?

Has anyone purchased the new home diffuser yet? I’m still confused.

They added more pictures but there still aren’t photos of the device with a scent cartridge added- assuming that’s what it uses. There still isn’t a description either. I’m annoyed and confused.

Is the California print on this silk scarf AI? I’m on the fence, see below.

It’s at Target, which gives me AI vibes. Someone in the comments thinks it is but I’m not sure. The blurry drawing also gives AI.

Warming a candle from New Savant, but not getting any throw

This is the first candle I’ve bought from New Savant after hearing rave reviews for so long, but I’m getting zero throw. I cannot smell anything, and my sense of smell isn’t off. Has anyone else had a similar experience with their candles? Is it not meant to be warmed? I’m so sad. 😞

Is anyone going to the 6/6 Marc Ribillet show at the Longhorn Ballroom in Dallas?

I just bought tickets today, but couldn’t figure out why they were still available- although now I may not be able to go because my children demand that we never leave the house 😞

I would have thought there would be more chatter about the show, especially given that he moved to NYC but is in town for this. Maybe the boxer briefs are too much for these parts?

Has anyone tried Lair Fragrances on Etsy?

Their No. 4 Dreamer perfume with notes of black currant, vanilla, and warm woods seems interesting but I can’t find any reviews other than those on Etsy.

Washers and Dryers are out of stock everywhere- Tariffs?

I'm looking for a front loading, electric washer and dryer with short wash/turbo and a steam function in black or charcoal. My preferences are LG or Electrolux. Everything is sold out. Is this a tariff thing?

My name is Betty and I’m a shopping addict

I have maybe 100 candles. I’ll buy tons of clothes thinking I’ll pick the ones that fit me only to forget to return them. I have so so so many shoes. At this point I have more stuff than space so it’s all shoved in various spaces so I can’t even enjoy what I have. Where do I start to dig myself out of this?
