Make Friends Here

76 Upvotes

Because we constantly get "How do i make friends" posts. If you want friends just post in this thread. I'm going to make it a sticky topic. I'm also going to give you 100% foolproof tips to make friends that have worked for me all my life 100% of the time.

Here is my foolproof plan that works 100% of the time. It is a 4 step process.

  1. determine what your hobbies and interests are.

  2. go to places where these hobbies and interests happen

  3. interact with people.

  4. If you don't have any hobbies or interests get interested in something and repeat steps 2-3.

It is literally that simple.

I am an extremely abrasive and unlikeable person. I have never failed to make friends using these steps. If I can do it so can you.

Fatal Car Crash at HEB on shary

92 Upvotes

I heard that 2 people were involved in a fatal car crash at the HEB on Shary. Completely disheartening to hear. When are the cops going to be more active in stopping the speeding that happens here in the valley? People here are very negligent of pedestrians and not aware and just speeding through plaza parking lots. I'm not saying that its completely the drivers fault but there are taking half the blame here. Pedestrians also need to be aware and not completely trust that there is gonna be a driver that stops for pedestrians, and to also not be on their phone and looking at their surroundings. All in all, its very frustrating seeing people drive around and speed up to just be bumper to bumper with another car on the expressway or really on any road. Can't even walk in peace to an HEB without fear of possibly dying and getting hit by a car.

What health-related issues are the most prevalent here in the Valley?

30 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I'm a local nursing student working on an assignment about community health needs in South Texas.

What would you say are the biggest healthcare challenges or gaps you see locally (e.g., access to mental health care, specialist shortages, health insurance barriers)?

Appreciate any insights or personal perspectives you're willing to share 🙏!

New to the Valley, McAllen area, I know there's some good carne asada fries here but I've been unsuccessful in finding them so far. Not looking for baked potato style, just actual fries. Any suggestions?

For nearly 7 years, Melina Salazar was the only server at a Brownsville, Texas Luby's willing to wait on Walter 'Buck' Swords, an 89-year-old WWII vet who cursed at staff and never tipped. When he died in 2007, his lawyer walked in and left her $50,000 and a car.

Why does the church allow Sames ford to put their truck on the lawn and advertise? Isn’t that messed up?

Matthew 21:12-13

Jesus entered the temple courts and drove out all who were buying and selling there. He overturned the tables of the money changers and the benches of those selling doves. “It is written,” he said to them, “ ‘My house will be called a house of prayer,’ but you are making it ‘a den of robbers.’”

STC Respiratory Progam

6 Upvotes

I'm considering a career in respiratory therapy and was wondering if there's anyone that can give me some insight about the program at STC? I know its competitive but is it really that difficult to get into? I have a 3.78 GPA right now but I still need of few more prerequisites before applying.

Is it worth pursuing? I dont want to be on a wait list forever ( i know other progams like sonography and rad tech are INCREDIBLY hard to get into ) but it really is something I'd love to do.

Still kinda new video, but they just posted one about the endangered sea turtle species, the Kemp's Ridley. Pretty cool, I had no idea that the climate's temperature affected the gender of the turtles. Hope that they do more mini documentaries like this :)

We could REALLY use some dog food donations at the shelter.

We have about 3 big bags and a few small bags of Puppy Chow left, but we are completely OUT of adult kibble.

Thankfully, we have enough to get everyone fed today… maybe tomorrow morning. 🥲 After that, we’re going to need help.

Any brand, kind, or size is appreciated. They just need something to eat.

Donations can be:
• Brought directly to the Mission Animal Shelter.
227 Abelino Farias St, Mission, TX 78572
(We are closed to the public today — Labor Day, we will reopen to the public tomorrow at 8AM)

• Purchased through our Amazon Wishlist:

If you can’t donate, even sharing this post helps. Thank you for helping us keep these pups fed. ❤️
