The bars in are already being closed down for a month for violations 

I just don't see any state getting back to anywhere near normal until 2021.  At least restaurants in KY can go to 50% capacity today.  Still no word on when the "temporary visiting restrictions" will be lifted at the local hospital (and until that happens I can forget about volunteering).  Also I don't know why the heck employers are posting jobs online or in the newspaper.  Nobody's hiring due to COVID19.  I've applied to 2-3 jobs since the pandemic began and haven't gotten an interview.  My Mom's office posted a job on Facebook today but they have a rule against families working in the same area (front desk/reception/case manager).

I have an instagram question.  I only follow 3 things--DCC, Navarro and Ina Garten.  But it says I have all these people following me.  Is that true or just an Instagram trick?  I've never made a post so I don't know why people I don't know would want to follow me?

Thanks for helping!

With Instagram you can fix it to where your account is "private" (You have to approve your followers).  I don't have anyone following me.  I've never made a post either.  I don't post on IG or Twitter (well on Twitter I respond to and "like" tweets and occasionally will private message a specifically news/weather personality).

My "in style" gripe of the day.   I don't know who made it fashionable but I hate it when the in crowd girl has the whole shirt tail out but stuffs that tiny bit in the front into the jeans/pants/whatever.    I hope it goes out soon.

The "french tuck".  I agree.  It's weird.  I also hate when dudes wear their pants so low and baggy you see half their butt crack.

A few years ago, I was in the grocery store.  A couple of young men passed me, and both had their pants very low.   Then one's pants fell down to his ankles, and tripped him.    The guy with him laughed at him, but no one else did.    The one who fell down certainly didn't look so brash after he stood up.

I used to work at one of the local malls a VERY long time ago.  A guy who sagged his pants was caught by mall security for doing something stupid (shoplifting, I think) and was taken to the food court to wait for police.  He was handcuffed behind his back but managed to get them in front of him and bolted.  Security chased him and caught him in a parking lot at the other end of the mall because his sagging pants fell down and tripped him up.  I don't remember what happened to him, but suspect that another charge was added to whatever stupid thing he got caught doing.

Haha this reminds me of a funny story.  My Dad was a Pharmacist with a major grocery store chain for many years.  The store office stairs were right next to the Pharmacy and a bank branch inside the store.  One day the store security caught some guy trying to stuff a pound of hamburger down his pants.  They brought him over to the office/pharmacy and asked Dad to watch them while they went somewhere and called the police.  Dad said that he was trying to decide where to shove the guy if he started running.  He decided to go for the bank since if he shoved him there the alarm would go off summoning the police anyway!

Looks more like she's leaning toward a career in college sports, not Cowboys...

[kalibean]

Good for her! I lived in Seattle for three years (between stints in Dallas) and UDub is awesome. Gorgeous football stadiums for the Huskies and the Seahawks too, of course! It’s a wholly different culture than Dallas, but she’ll do great. 
 

I’ll never forget shopping for groceries when I first moved back to Texas and I’m like WTF why are people looking at me?! Oh yes, eye contact and smiles with strangers. We do that here.

I've been in Seattle for five years (originally from the Midwest) and I still smile at everyone here.  I mostly get blank looks in return, but I don't care.  Seattle is awesome - we should all be smiling here! 😃

Has anyone heard of the 76ers Dancers and them investigating a report of bullying and racist behavior? The video reportedly included the dance coach and other members of the team. Ever since the news broke around the 30th of last month, the 76ers entertainment page has limited/deleted comments on every post.

feelings extra hurt. my school's conference cancelled all fall sports, so that means no last football season, and our semester is "temporarily" september-november and then we have to move back out until they figure out what to do for spring semester.

I have a question about visas and citizenship. I know the girls that come here on student/work visas have to travel back to their home countries to renew every so often.  What about if someone just wants to come here to live?  One of my Mom's neighbor's elderly mother came here last year to live, supposedly permanently, from Germany.  She's in her 60s (at least) and has to have dialysis every other day.  The Mom lives in my apartment complex and the daughter and son in law live behind my Mom a few blocks away.  How will the visa stuff work for the Mom/MIL?  Would the Mom/MIL have to already have dual German/US citizenship for this to work out?

There are so many answers depending on a number of factors. Are you aware of what her citizenship status is? And does she work (I’m guessing “no” on that one since you said she is elderly). She could have applied to be a Lawful (sometimes referred to as Legal) Permanent Resident (previously called a “green card holder”). This is a status for a non-citizen who is going to reside in the US full time. The individual usually has to be sponsored somehow (family, employer) or be refugee/asylum seeker and live in the US for a certain period of time (I think it’s a year) in order to obtain LPR status. What kind of visa they come to the US on during that year depends on a number of different factors though. I know this isn’t an exact answer but without more info, it’s hard to say. 

She is drawing some sort of US disability so wouldn't she at least have to have "dual" citizenship?  That's pretty much the extent of what I know about her even thought she lives across and up the street from me.  I never see her unless she comes to my Mom's cookouts.

Has anyone done any of the online Star Style classes? I'm thinking about signing up but it costs $25 a class. However, for $40 a month you have 1 star subscription to the video library. Does anyone know what that even means? Is the 1 star = 1 class or unlimited access to all classes?

I hope they make up their minds soon.  Trying to save some $$$$ with my cable bill and that means dropping CMT (other option is decreasing my internet speed and that ain't happenin')

Right back at you girl!

I've been making an effort to spend less time on SM and reading news of Covid and politics.  It is so draining and not healthy.  Time for some self care.  Do an in home facial y'all.  It's relaxing and your skin will thank you for it!

Cheers and enjoy your weekends everyone!  🙌 😍

I went with coloring my hair for self care today. Top layer is rose gold, underneath is dark blue denim/purple that should fade gorgeously.

Hubby, son, and I are headed to the zoo tomorrow should be nice. 

Hope everyone has a good weekend.

Thank god for character development. I think Gina's main issue in her first year was that she seemed just so focused on making the team and standing out with her dance that she forgot that she also needs to learn how to be part of a team. That's the problem with those who come from studio dancing, rather than high school/college dance teams.

We've been having drinks as neighbours during lockdown, all stood around socially distanced in the courtyard between our houses once a week which is lovely as a lot of us live alone. One of them is from Plano (we live in Scotland) and keeps trying to explain the geography of the area and I just have to stand there a smile, not blurt out "I know a lot of this because I'm obsessed with DCC"

How is it that I can watch CMT live TV on the website if I'm no longer subscribing to CMT on my cable system????  I just went to CMT.com and told it to "watch live" and it's letting me!?

Because everyone and their mother are dropping their expensive AF cable subscriptions, and they need someone to watch the ads.

Excellent question.  I think things like Instagram work better when using the app as opposed to a laptop.

I think I'm getting a taste of what it's like to be a DCC privacy wise...I just got hired at a local Dollar General store and decided to go through and check all my privacy settings to make sure only "friends" could see what I post on Facebook.  Can you guys go to https://www.facebook.com/l.scobee1 and tell me what's visible in each section of my profile to the general public? Thanks!

PS - Also did I properly get rid of the option to send me a friend request? Thanks!
