Plants, especially native plants that I often have to buy on Etsy or some other online store because local shops don't carry them or sell out too quickly. I have also spent a lot on houseplants that I struggle to keep alive.
Congrats on being in a position to be able to do that.
That would be extreme even for Texas. Texas has laws in place to prevent HOAs from prohibiting water conservation efforts such as xeriscaping, growing native grasses instead of exotic, rain barrels, etc. Most of Texas undergoes drought restrictions already. If we didn't, we would certainly run out of water. Banning water conservation would be stupid even by Texas standards.
Granted, Texas also does stupid shit such as restricting water usage in communities while pumping out that same water to sell to 3rd parties.
Typically, yes. They issue citations and increasing levels of fines for each violation, and they disconnect your water if you don't respond or pay in a timely manner. How quickly they respond to reports and how often they issue citations varies by city. Some cities even employ patrol units to enforce violations during severe drought conditions. Some cities aren't giving out warnings at all anymore but going straight to citations/fines.
The city is saying no outdoor use at all: https://m.facebook.com/blancocityhall?fref=nf&ref=embed_post
Water restrictions vary by city, but landscape irrigation is indeed restricted. Usually they go up to stage 4, which typically limits to watering once a week or once every 2 weeks.
Apparently stage 5 is defined by the city as indoor use only: https://www.kvue.com/article/news/local/city-of-blanco-stage-6-water-restrictions/269-22171b66-f29b-4e1a-b57a-9e434ecf34c1
Blanco county is currently at stage 3, which limits watering from 7-10 AM or PM and not at all on non-watering weeks. https://www.txwaterco.com/water-conservation/drought-management/blanco-county-drought-conditions
Interestingly, they include hand watering in the restrictions. My city has designated days and times you are allowed to water, but hand watering is allowed at any time.
GOP is all about stripping parents of choice. They want to brainwash kids with state-sponsored propaganda. Right now they're teaching "opposing views" of things like the Holocaust and evolution, but later they'll remove all dissenting viewpoints so all you learn is propaganda. Most schools in Texas don't even properly teach the Civil War. It's states' rights and northern aggression. Many parents have no idea when they move here, then later come to regret it.
You can wear masks any time you are sick to avoid spreading it. It's not just about COVID.
I do not see a way to hide them on mobile.
I have PMDD and dysmenorrhea. My ADHD meds are virtually ineffective during my period, and between the depression, pain, and fatigue, I am not able to get much done at all during my period. I have not responded well to antidepressants or birth control.
There are a few things that somewhat help - exercise, raspberry leaf tea, blackstrap molasses, eating clean, Epsom salt baths, Midol. I still spend the majority of the time glued to the couch with a heatpad. I can sometimes get a few things done with a portable heatpad but still not much.
Do they make vegan ones now or do they all still have eggs?
