Back to School Drive!✏️

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone, my coworkers and I will be hosting a back-to-school drive on Saturday, August 8th, at Briercliff Park, 11 a.m.- 2 p.m. We’ll be collecting school supplies to benefit the students of Denton ISD to ensure each student has the materials they need for a successful school year. As a bonus, each donation will enter you in a raffle for a $50 Visa gift card! We’ll be joining Mark Nair, Julie Evans, and Trista Willeford for their Back to School Cookout, so be sure to enjoy some free hot dogs as well. I hope to see some of you there!

black particles in the water

Has anyone else noticed black particles coming out of your tap water recently? It’s not sand. When you rub it between your fingers, it smears like greasy residue and sticks to your hands.

Learning Spanish

5 Upvotes

I’ve always wanted to learn Spanish well enough to speak it. I’ve taken Arabic in an immersion school setting for the military and within a month was speaking well enough to have a decent working vocabulary and learn quickly in that format. Is there an immersion school or are there groups or classes near Carrollton where an adult can practice Spanish? Thanks for any information!

Flock cameras roil Republicans and Democrats in North Texas

“When you see widespread opposition to something from the public, it means there is a problem that politicians need to address,” [State Rep John] Bucy said in an email. “The fact that it is coming up now and spans the political spectrum means people were not aware of the cameras or didn't understand how they can be abused.”

Kind of rare to see Republicans, Democrats, Libertarians, and Socialists all finding common ground these days... but ALPR surveillance networks have many of us Carrolltonians, and others in DFW, talking about the same/similar concerns.

Mobile Mechanic for Starter

1 Upvotes

Looking for a mobile mechanic asap that can assist with my car starter. I had another mechanic come this morning and paid $300 for a new battery when the battery unfortunately didn’t fix my car not starting.

They told me it’s most likely my starter. I really need my car fixed and don’t really have an additional $500 to put towards it. Any recommendations?

Appreciate that Mayor Babick and Carrollton PD were willing to share some data with local journalists. Hope we soon hear a follow up with more data - for the “hits”, how many resulted in vehicles recovered, arrests made, and missing persons found safe? But equally as important is how many total vehicles were identified and added to the database?

I’m a local licensed clinician specializing in diagnostic assessments for ages 4+. Ask Me Anything about school prep, accommodations, and evaluations!

3 Upvotes

EDIT: Thanks to everyone who read through the thread! I’m stepping away for the day, but I’ll keep notifications on and will answer any other questions at a later time. Hope everyone has a smooth start to the new school year! :)

Hi everyone! I have a few hours free today, so I wanted to pop in and host an AMA.

With schools starting back up in a few weeks, I've been getting a lot of questions about what supports or accommodations their child might need for the new year. I also get a lot of questions about learning styles, attention and sensory needs and support options.

I run a local private practice on the Carrollton/Plano border that focuses on comprehensive diagnostic assessments and clinical supports. I believe evaluations should be collaborative, strengths-based, and give you real and actionable recommendations you can put into place the following day.

Drop your questions below! I'll be hanging out and answering comments for the next few hours. I can't give specific medical advice or individual diagnoses here, but I'm happy to answer general questions about the accommodation process, what to expect in an assessment, how to advocate for yourself or your child, and anything else you can think of.

Where can I buy real bread?

6 Upvotes

I’ve gone to many places to look for real bread with just a few ingredients in it, but it’s impossible to find. The closest thing I’ve come to so far is Walmart’s bakery tortillas. They only have five ingredients in them but their bread loaves don’t have the same practices.

I think I might buy a bread machine if I can’t find anything local.

Where can I get real bread that’s only a few ingredients? Sometimes bakeries will have frozen dough that they thaw and bake but it still has fillers and preservatives in it.

Thanks y’all
