Not every state. This is Texas. I'm in California and my kid went to school with shoulder length hair that was half blue. My relatives in Texas kept asking what the school was doing about it. There's nothing on the books about hair and the principal said it looked cool. Hair has always been a control issue in bible thumping communities, which I thankfully am no longer around.

From my experience:
Gently let your husband know that if his mom says something negative that he should not pass it along to you. What his mom said did not hurt you until he told you. That's how I taught my kid not to spread gossip.
As for your mother in law, if she comments that something is messy, hand her a broom. That's how I got my certified-clean-freak mom to stop making comments. "Vacuum's in the closet" was another one, but she was my mom, not my MIL, so it wasn't as hard for me. Sooo...have your husband do it. :)

Also non-cartel coyotes rest during the day. I lived in Nevada where coyotes are a given, but never in my life saw one during the day.

My kid is learning to drive and I wanted to rent/get ahold of a manual to teach that too, but nothing doing. You can't find one to rent and I'm not buying a whole car for a few weeks' training.

This sign is close to a machine cleaning trash and other debris from a canal. Snakes accidentally get scooped with the debris and slither over the side.

Text from https://justbirding.com/what-birds-mate-for-life/ Black Vulture Latin name: Coragyps atratus Unique romantic feature: Fight for fidelity Where they are found: From the southeastern USA to South America Size: Length: 22 to 29 inches (56 to 74 cm); Weight: 2.6 to 4.3 pounds (1.18 to 1.95 kg): Wingspan: 4.4 to 5.5 feet (1.34 to 1.68 m) Diet: Carrion ~~Black vultures prove you don’t have to be beautiful to enjoy a committed, long-term relationship.~~ Um, rude. Looking dressed more for a funeral than a wedding, these scavenger birds feature all-black plumage with bumpy, featherless grayish-black heads, and short, hooked beaks. Found in open habitats and along roads from the southeastern United States to South America, black vultures are all about family life. They form bonds that last their whole lives (about 10 years).

organize my supplies: pull everything out sort, play with stuff, go to store for organizing bins and maybe order new craft supplies, label, get tired, and leave almost everything in piles for weeks. Oh, and feel guilty every single time I walk by the piles, but be completely unable to do anything about them.

That is a) good to know and b) pretty cool. Thanks :)
My favorite for sentimental reasons. I grew up in an area where you might spot one if you were very lucky. It was rare, but cool.
I can't find the image source to confirm, but looks right.
I dunno why I think a raccoon named Paul is funny, but to me it really is. If I ever have a raccoon friend, it will be a Paul regardless of gender.
Yeah, I know it's gross. But that's me, the gross coffee drinker.

Say where it is out loud! That's my stove trick--"THE STOVE IS OFF". Yes, I have walked away from a lit burner before.
Whenever I go to the doctor's office and they ask about something that happened unrelated to that day's visit, I can't seem to remember. Examples: At one appt, "So have you had any more troubles from your sinus infection that we saw you for 9 months ago?" Oh yeah...I had a sinus infection. At a different appt, "You had your eye surgery in a different network. Let's update your record in our network. Who was the surgeon and when was it?" Um, it was a guy...and it was, I think, three years ago. (I looked up the surgeon's name online based on where I remember the surgery center to be and called and the surgery was a hair over a year ago.) That sounds like an extreme example because the surgery was a big deal, but yeah. Often I can't seem to recall any of the original symptoms that led me to taking a medicine. It's like medical amnesia. They have everything in their notes, but I've got zilch. It's really frustrating. I've considered writing everything down, but once I'm out the door, that idea seems to vanish. I've learned to take in a very full description of what's currently going on because I know I'll draw a blank when the doc asks of the specifics on why I'm in that time. I feel like a weirdo with a printout. If only I could remember to hang onto that printout for future reference. Ugh. I'm not dumb and I'm not like this with other things. It's weird and I'm wondering if it's just me.

[link to eBird](https://ebird.org/species/andcon1/) >Huge, wide-ranging vulture of the Andes, but also ranges into lowlands in southern Chile and Tierra del Fuego. Locally fairly common in Chile and adjacent Argentina, less numerous northward. Mainly seen as singles or pairs, sailing high over ridges, but tens can gather at roosts and to scavenge at carcasses. Size alone is diagnostic, but can be difficult to judge at a distance: note very long “fingers” at wingtips and white collar of adult. Adult also has diagnostic big white panels on upperwing, visible as birds bank. Immatures dark overall, becoming like adult in about 5 years.

Hormonal fluctuations have been shown to affect symptoms. You* can talk to your doctor about a small bump up in meds for when you are most affected. I can't remember if it's just before a period or during that symptoms get worse. I recommend tracking your period and making notes of when it's worse for you. Menopause is crazy for many reasons, but defo for ADHD.
*Anyone who has a period.

I haven't seen Men. Thanks for the warning. No sarcasm.
Yes, this was a tough one for me (to decide to post) because I loved the visuals, but the movie was a hard watch. Not because of any grossness, but the movie just had such an off feeling to it. Also, Natalie Portman's character was sooo frustrating. Any question given to her was answered with such a slow vagueness. Ugh. The visuals though. The commercials didn't really do any story related teasers, but focused on the visuals. That's what put bodies in the seats.
You know how you can tell a movie is weird AF? After seeing this movie, I do. The end credits rolled and the audience just sort of sat there for like 10 seconds. When they got up, the discussion mostly consisted of, "What did that mean?" and "What was this about?" etc., even into the parking lot.
