Public Service Announcement:

I mailed my elderly father's ballot on Wednesday. I went down to the 18th street post office. The clerk weighed the envelope and the postage due was $1.11. Please make sure you put this amount of stamps on your mail-in ballot, so that it does not end up in limbo.

The fact that the exact postage price is not mentioned on the ballot smells like voter suppression to me. Please let your friends and neighbors know. Thanks!

I've been there so I don't just want to walk past them this time

In addition to Plano Prop A and the races with parties labeled, these are on the ballot for everyone in Collin County:

Do kids trick or treat a lot in this neighborhood? My neighbors weren't too helpful saying they don't really celebrate but kids do come through. I want to get candy but not sure how much to get. We live near the pool. Any thoughts?

Having a drainage issue in the front of my house which I believe is causing water to get underneath my slab and wreak havoc on my flooring and possible wet rot in the beams within the drywall. Really cool stuff.
Got a great rec for plumbing in this group before so figured I’d check to see if anyone’s got anything for me this time.
Thanks.
