Gives decent gay porn stars a bad name.

Did not know about at all.

Sirens in Arlington now.

2023 was just ugh! My wallet wasn’t all too happy either.

It has been a great Spring though. Welp, gotta finish cleaning up the patio before the weekend is up.

Moved to TX in 2016 and finally decided to change my old one for a TX DL after a few year living here. It was automatic. I didn’t realize I had one until everyone started talking about it.

Grew up in the East Bay and moved here about 8 years ago to keep my baby system company who got a job as a nurse. She passed less than a year after moving into Texas, but we stay put. The hostility you think you might get for being an outsider is mostly all in your head….to me at least . You see a lot of “dang Californians” moving here on the internet, but never experienced it. Maybe because I mostly stayed within the DFW and moved to Austin for a bit. I don’t know what part of the Bay you are from, but unless you are talking sports(Cowboys/Niners), I remembered no one really caring too much about Texas either. Food is great, but the Asian food here is t the same as Houston…I know, you can hate me, but the Bay Area has the best Asian food (I’m Polish/Filipino). I also miss the mission burritos. Get ready…better yet…hope the heat isn’t too bad this summer. So far, it has been kind of mild. We were too blessed with the year round cool breeze around the Bay. One thing I think you might start to miss is the type of nature that you can only find around mountains and ocean coastlines. The grasslands and desert area is lovely, but it’s not the same as taking a stroll next to the pacific or driving a few hours to go skiing etc. What keeps me here? The prices….more importantly the found family that allowed me to plant my roots. Welcome to Dallas. Lots of friendly people….keep in mind, Dallas is also a melting pot with people from all over. I also lived in Temple for a few months (between my time in Austin and Dallas) but even that feels like an overwhelming different experience.

06 Scion XB...bought when i was in college had never done me wrong for the past 15 years.

This guy....Post nasal drip has also been activated for about a week now.

I’m a glutton for punishment

Meat sales and the bakery. Other than those two it is too expensive even with membership or coupons.

Depends on location...I dunno why, but the one close to me uses 80 percent salt in their batter. I often have to pick it off.

Not as bad, but my water is like $7 and sewer is around $35-45.

I work from home and went to vote Tuesday Morning. 90 percent was probably 60+. Kind of made me nervous. Plus No stickers!

Two weeks ago…got it from my SO unknowingly then spread it to my sister/bro in law, mom, and her husband while helping them move. Cole was about 3-4 days with the second and third being high fever for most of us. Sister had it worse. It took let two weeks to recover and she is pregnant. Luckily she was monitored by doctors.

Yeah, temps say 98, but I managed to sit on a bench under a tree and just hang out the whole afternoon. It’s

Just the two of us. I'm diabetic and have been doing Keto/Intermittent fasting for the last two months. So far around 200 bucks a month. Thank goodness for HEB/Joe V for meats and the Asian Grocery stores near me for the fresh veggies.

I was helping with a move today and luckily the truck was parked under a tree. The sun was pretty bad, but the breeze was quite nice.

A casual "oh! I have to get gas really quicky...meanwhile lets go get some kolache" will do.

I drive a 2006 Scion XB. First car I bought out of college. 15 years later it is till in really good condition..under 80K miles. I am paying 102 a month and I think that is high lol! Just got quoted for 75 at Geico, so I might take that offer. Man, some people are paying half a rent's worth in car insurance and that boggles my mind. But then again, drive what you want.

Not at all. The anti-Mexican poster they had in 2019 made me think they were though. It wasn't even specifically anti-immigrant either. I look more Asian than I do Mexican/Italian, so maybe?

Raised in The Bay Area. I am Hispanic/Asian, so that may have played a part, but I have experienced more classism than anything. Growing up poor was harsh AF especially when going to school. I live in Arlington (used to live in Dallas) and everyone I have met here are really nice...however folks are more of themselves in their own homes. I live two doors down from an elderly couple who has always been nice and cordial, but the Trump flags and the anti-everything here just says otherwise. It's like they aren't aware.

The joys of being a green thumb in this summer environment. Aside from last year, I don’t think I’ve had to cave up like this .

That’s what I’m doing now lol! My room faces south east and gets the brunt of the sun. The rest of the apartment is like a cave. I have lots of plants, but I would rather use some plant lights for then couple of months.

🤭

I like to do garden work on my patio and kept being bitten, so I cut the legs off of an old jeans and used it like a legging. Why not wear pant? Well, then I would be wearing pants. The gym shorts are a way to go on hot days lol!

78\* with a giant fan. I work from home...usually with a nice cancelling headphone on. Its pretty okay. My living room stays cool since it is in the shaded part of the apartment.

I usually don’t care what our next door neighbors do in their own apartments, but they let their dog defecate in their patio because they are too lazy to take them for a walk outside. WE LOVE ON THE FORST FLOOR! across a grassy field, with free bags. It’s not that hard. I did it for years when my puggies were still here.

The ACA came in BIG two years ago when I got really sickPlus since I’m a freelance artist the last few years, no where else to turn to.

Landfill, but so is a lot of the coastal cities. I wouldn’t swim in the water, but turning the area around into a green space is pretty neat. Let nature take the land back.

I live on the hill across from that on the left side. Considering what it was, its a nice place to run around the lake every other day.

Same. I felt the same hate towards Arlington as the folks that commented before me, but I've gotten used to it. 2b/2b for 1300 isn't so bad when the goal is trying to save up for a home.

Its freezing. But I'll take this over what I hope isn't coming for Summer.

I used to live near there. I now live at an apartment off of green oaks that opens to River Legacy. There are several cayotes that come in and rummage through the dumpsters. We also have…had…several stray cats around here that I worry for.

I live in a 2b/2b 1000 sq foot apartment and it was around $300 for the summer. This winter has mostly been around $90-110. 14/14/14 3 year contract.

Yooooo that is a lot. Mine was 115 a month for the last three months in a 1300ish condo. We like it cold. Were sort of just saving up or the summer :(

Yeah, the dumpster is across the lot and I have to pay 25 bucks for them to maybe pick up my trash? Plus the people that pick them up pile them up the dumpster with out much care letting animals rip them apart.

"Are you kidding me bro?" I hope she recovers well. This was on her. I am just glad that she didn't hurt any one else.

Public transit. I’ve lived in a few cities with lots of traffic like Berkeley, SF and Brooklyn…trains that connect the cities and boroughs make getting around during rush hour really easy.

Second Summer wasn't too bad. Hot sun, cool breeze. Got several outdoor paintings done. Bring on Fall!

It's not bad. I grew up in the East Bay/Oakland, so i am comparing it to that. It is just boring. Best thing abut it is that it is in the middle in between Fort Worth and Dallas. I live in North Arlington/Viridian and it is relatively nice and peaceful here if you don't mind a quick commute.

Light the Beacon of Amun Din and call for aide!

Dear Taylor Swift, We saw what you did with one instagram post. Please do you magic and help us energize the youth to vote here in Dallas…

Go into the center most part of the apartment where it’s cool (living room) crank up the fan, turn on the tv, go to YouTube and play gentle rain sounds and take a nap.

Yikes I thought my water/sewer was higher than usual at 75 bucks last month.

$260 for a 960 squat foot 2b/2b apartment. Saw our bill and decided to seal off our south facing windows until the dang heat goes down. So far, our bill has been trending downwards. We shall see….

Was so excited to see the "thunderstorm" alert on my phone. Waited and NOPE!

Talk to him/her. I was your neighbor at one point. I moved in to my unit the same time as the neighbor next to me moved out. The apartment sat empty for a few months until someone else moved in. During that time I got used to playing music on high. A coupe of weeks later the. Wig or knocked in my door and ask if I can turn it down a little….I honestly didn’t know and apologized to him. Been cordial ever since.

Fancy expensive cars used for food delivery like Uber eats or dominos.

Opposie for me lol! I come from Berkeley where there could be a random naked bike ride of parade. Folks here are pretty covered up by comparison.
