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.

Holy shit. I had to turn it off. WTF.

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.

I went to Michael's yesterday. This year they have an odd selection. There is a love and glamour theme and there is another theme that looks like candy (not Halloween candy). It's odd, but I think for people who have loads of Halloween things, it gives them a chance to have something new.

wow, pretty

I had no idea it did this. My apologies.

You were a cute kid. I can see why they picked your pics.

That's a good idea.

I remember this! And not from the lemmy post. Thanks for the memory.
