You aint kidding. Mine went up about 300 a month, unfortunately I missed the right to protest. I thought Denton county was the same as Dallas county. June 15th. Nope. I found out the hard way, May 31.

hat you’ll actually have to do something for yours).
I’ll start. You don’t spend 100% of your income on housing. It doesn’t take a doubling of income to pay for a doubling of housing costs.
I’m sorry that your kids were bit by this dog. I’m also sorry that the dog had to lose his live over it. My biggest pet peeve is bad owners that lead to sad situations like this. I’m a strong believer that there are no such things as bad dogs, just bad owners. Obviously no ones dog should be running around biting children, and if you know your dog doesn’t like kids, keep them away, buy a muzzle, and don’t let your dog get into these compromising situations where people (and dogs) can get hurt

We got a lawyer to fight it… We filed, yet we still keep getting pushed back on dates, this time to early October. Denton folks are sitting on their asses at home and not working.
Unfortunately, he always became complacent. Somehow or another, their front door would end up open. He always blamed “Contractors” IE older teenage kids doing some work or another. Additionally he blamed my kids for teasing them. They most certainly were not. He said his dog did not like roller blades or bikes. Both of which my kids were on or wearing when they were bit. Previously before my kids were bit, when it attacked my neighbors kid, I warned him about it. He chose to ignore it. In all cases, we were lucky it wasn’t worse. In all cases, I was intercepting the dog within 10 seconds or less.

GRRRRRR: people who stop when they don’t have a stop sign. Not every intersection is a 4-way stop, you’re gumming up the works!
See also: people who stop where there’s not a stop sign to “be nice” and allow (nay, DEMAND) pedestrians to cross where there’s not a crosswalk.

Add to that people who don’t understand how roundabouts work. Now that they’re becoming more common in the US, it’s getting really frustrating.

If we are talking about bad driving, then the becoming-more-ubiquitous stopping 8, 10, 15 feet before the next car at a stoplight, effectively doubling the length of the line. Causes real issues when it unnecessarily blocks-off access to a turn lane. If you need that much safety distance because you are not paying attention or are a narcoleptic or just gotta check your Instagram (or TALK!), you probably shouldn’t be driving in first place:

Hey you gotta leave enough room to see the back tires of the car in front of you, in case they do something dumb and you need to get around them.
And now that new car/truck hoodlines are raised because it’s “safer” to hit pedestrians with a wall than a wedge, and lifted bro-dozers seem to be almost de rigeur, well that means stopping further back.
See, they’re just being safe!

58, yes 58 in a 70 mph. Left center lane… weather was not a factor either.
“I’m giving it all it’s got captain” isn’t even an excuse.

Haha! I think I was driving yesterday the same place you were. A dilapidated truck cruising down IH35 doing … drum roll please … almost exactly 40mph.
Lol. This was a newer Civic with the digital speedometer. That’s how I knew they were doing 58. Lol
But yes was on 35
That sounds like a normal day on I-35 between Hillsboro and Georgetown…
