Yes, they are about to have their asses handed to them by HEB. The opening day of HEB in Frisco - $1m sales in one day (according to Dallas Morning News). Everyone wishes they could be HEB.

After looking at about 50 houses, we bought a house in San Antonio a little over a year ago. The problem with most of the houses was they were remodeled poorly. One looked like they used used motor oil as a stain on the hardwood flooring. They were very proud of it. One house was literally broken and heaved back such…
In the 80s, right before AIDS, I dated a woman who told me up front that she needed sex every day. Since we were geographically separated I knew I wasn’t going to be the full time stud. She and another girl friend were active on the side, twice a week after night classes. One day I asked her how many partners she had…
I watched it last night on a relatively small screen and thought it was excellent. Watching it again tonight on full screen 4k.
Gave you a star, because that really made me think.
Thanks. Always open to education.
Hi Bill. Do you know what the differences are? Serious question. I see a lot of common names used for different chemicals and am interested in the differences in industrial chems versus consumer chems.
My context checker isn’t working. We actually GO through a lot of baking soda. We don’t got through it.
This is way off the dishwasher topic, but, things have changed for cars. The ‘drying agent’ used in car washes is available, highly concentrated, by the gallon, at O’Reilly’s Auto Parts for under $30. Hmmmm, would this work in the dishwasher? Might not be food grade car wash drying agent.
Weird you should post about dishwasher chemistry. Just yesterday I was looking at YouTubes for rinse aids for car washing. When you do that search you get a lot of hits for dishwasher rinse aids. The DIY hack for that is to dissolve citric acid crystals in water (look it up for details). At first I thought that…
reuthermonkey, you clearly don’t own a cat. We got through a lot of baking soda keeping the house smelling fresh. That stuff is amazing!!
OA, I would suggest you keep an eye on your water drainage situation with the additional 4 tons of dirt. What happens, and my current house is a great example, is if the soil is out in the yard, it forms a dam which causes rainwater to collect at the base of the house and not drain. The best solution is to have a…
No, it won’t. Well, unless you want to continue with lifeless soil, then rototill all you want. City mulch, or any other mulch, has a lot of wood in it. Wood cannot decompose unless it is exposed to the air. If you bury the wood in the ground, then it will eventually decompose, but the decomposition microbes do need…
My wife was a teacher for many years. She would always complain about kids bringing stuff into the classroom from a list they got at Walmart. All the teachers basically confiscated the stuff they were never going to use and dumped it into a bin down the hall. Point is: reach out to your child’s teacher with your…
Oh, oh! I know!! It’s a thing they have in cities. I just moved from rural Texas to San Antonio and found out all about them. Instead of processing sewage in your septic tank, there’s a pipe that runs all the way to the street and forms like an underground river all the way to a central processing place for the entire…
In your case the toilet is the problem. I’ve been using Northern Quilted for decades as well as an American Standard Cadet 3 toilet. Nothing clogs those things.
As with harryB’s reply, you triggered a memory for me. We were traveling through Venezuela in the 80s and stopped at a little community for a pit stop. Our friend ordered what I would call a cornmeal pancake with queso blanco and served folded over like a taco. It probably has a name in Venezuela, but it was…
If you are using the sous vide method to cook your meat, there’s no need to let it rest as it has been cooking in its juices for an hour or more.
Check to see if your library has a book selling outlet. In San Antonio the Friends of the Library volunteer group operate the BookCellar in the basement of the downtown library. They collect books and media from all the neighborhood libraries as they discard them. They also take donations from estates or anyone,…
