recommend me a portable battery pack to recharge phone
I have a Jackery and an Anker. They seem about the same and will charge a phone about 2 1/2 times. Model depends on what size you want to carry around and how much you want to spend. The one's I use are about the size of a pack of cigarettes. Got both on Amazon.

Not trying to be a dick, but if she doesn't remember to charge her phone she's not going to remember to charge a battery pack. Essentially, you're going to have to make it part of *your* routine. That's what I ended up doing.

Austin City Government - Circus of the Insane
Dear Mayor and Council Members: I own the property at xxxxxxx on Lake Austin, next to the xxxxx, in the xxxxx subdivision, which I purchased in 1978. For planning and control purposes in about 2000, the City did a special purpose annexation of lakefront land and since then has subjected us to full City of Austin development and environmental controls. My property is 100% in the County and I receive no city services -- water, sewer, fire, police, EMS, trash, etc.. I am not taxed by the City currently, nor should I be taxed, unless and until the City commits to providing our location with full city services, which I understand is required under Texas law. Currently there is no plan for the City to ever provide us with such services. I saw in the paper over the weekend an article on a proposed taxation of properties along Lake Austin, which I assume would impact my property, but not my neighbors' property on the bluff side of xxxxx (about 20 houses in the subdivision). If not against the law, it would at least be inappropriate and unfair to tax my property until you can provide me the city services which property taxes are intended to pay for. Also, before any action is taken, you should inform all property owners who are affected by this proposed taxation, and hold a public hearing to give the many homeowners along Lake Austin a voice in this decision. Thank you for your consideration of these arguments against the proposed taxation of properties on Lake Austin that have not been fully annexed into the city and do not receive any city services, yet must bear the cost and burdens of City planning regulations that place serious constraints on the use of our homes and land. Thank you. Sincerely, xxxx Street address: xxxxx, Austin, TX 78733 Council District: 10

You can also run a bead of clear calk along the tape line, smooth the calk so it gets under the tape, paint and remove the tape before the paint dries. I've never done this, but I saw a painter do it and was amazed.

https://www.houseofhepworths.com/2011/01/11/what-everyone-should-know-about-painting-perfect-lines/- Yes: Pools are worth it....
I am taking care of my aging father's house. The pool is a total mess, he even used it as a fish pond for some time. What do you say I should do with it? I read that it is not good to drain it, but it is a mosquito breeding disaster. To make it functional again I am sure I would have to replace everything other than the hole in the ground. If I got it up and running there is nobody there to use it anyway, so maintenance would be wasted money. Is there some type of cover for "abandoned" pools that will lower the risk of kids falling in? If so, do I drain it to keep mosquitoes from breeding? What would you do?- Depression, OCD, and whatever else ails you between the ears
Opinions please re: residential or outpatient centers, in Texas, for dual diagnosis bipolar/alcohol. My friend does okay for a couple of years, then falls off the wagon pretty hard. He has been trying to do it on his own with private counseling and fair compliance with bipolar meds, but it ain't working. I wonder if residential treatment is just a money drain for something that could be done with intensive day treatment so he could keep his job. I am not convinced he has a perfectly accurate diagnosis, so something more intensive than weekly counseling sessions is in order IMHO. I know a guy who had good results with a month at Starlight, but I don't know if they do the dual diagnosis stuff.- Having a Garage Sale Tomorrow Morning

Glad he got his comeback and his last few years enjoying his legacy.- Cryptocurrencies (Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, etc.)
Okay, continuing to be an old...give me a lesson on wallets. Some things I read look like they are things on flash drives or sd cards. Other things I read look like they are downloadable programs. Are there both types? If so, which is easiest. I think I would prefer to just download something to my computer unless that is stupid dumb.- Cryptocurrencies (Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, etc.)
Coinbase will accept a check...and I have never "wired". Are you talking about Western Union? Seriously...and old.- Cryptocurrencies (Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, etc.)
coinbase said the credit union said the account didn't exist. I double checked my routing and account number. Could be that the credit union is the problem rather than coinbase. Still, like Reagan above, I'm an old and have enough difficulty wrapping my head around the whole cypercash deal without getting kicked back to add to my dementia.- Cryptocurrencies (Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, etc.)
I guess what exchanges accept paypal. If paypal actually sells I guess that would be easiest but I have not seen them on the paypal page. Mostly can I avoid the hassle of getting a bank account vs. credit union and hassle of getting debit card vs. credit card.- Cryptocurrencies (Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, etc.)
Is it possible/safe/advisable to buy coins using paypal? I have tried a couple of sites and get denied because I bank at a credit union and I have a credit card but not a debit card. I have already jumped though the identification hoops to get my paypal account, so I'd like to avoid the hassle of reinventing that wheel.- Overrated Austin restaurants?
Original "George's" was in, and memory fades, an old Dairy Queen. About where 1st (Chavez) and 5th intersect. Across the street from, again memory fails, Arkie's. By far the best enchiladas I ever ate. A lawyer, Bruce Sternberg, helped Jorge financially and he opened a new place. I can't remember where the second place was, but I can see the interior in my mind's eye. Before Lavaca, before Hancock. I just can't remember. Stayed pretty darn good for several years, then things started to go down hill.- Baytown Cop kills Pregnant Woman
In the past we just "locked 'em up." There were State Hospitals and State Schools all over the place. I don't remember exactly how many, but 10's of thousands were locked up. Then, with things like "Free the Slow" and "least restrictive environment" the pendulum swung the other way, which sounds great, but to a large extent we just put them on the streets. Not so "freeing". I don't know the answer.- Baytown Cop kills Pregnant Woman
I worked in direct care in mental health for 5+ years, and this is the most insightful thing I have read about the current state of mental health care. Brisket, I've read your posts since 360 and this sentence is at the top of your work. - Interior painting
