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.

It's quartz...maybe. The crystal foramtion is what's throwing me. My sample is banged up, but still the crystals appear to be 5-sided, not 6.
What is saphira? I couldn't find anything onine. I found corundum, fo sapphire, but the mohs scale is too high for my sample, a 9. My sample is closer to a 7. Also corundum streaks colorless and my sample streaks white.
Clinozoisite is a similar mohs, but streaks greyish-white.
So I'm thinking quartz.

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.

I had no idea it did this. My apologies.
Twist her arm and her torso gets longer and she grows breasts. [Video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kUcI-8N6nUo&ab_channel=RachelHoffman)
I'll go first, Growing Up Skipper. You turn her arm and she gets longer and boobs pop out. [Video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kUcI-8N6nUo&ab_channel=RachelHoffman) showing how it works. 1975-6 was when I played with one. My neighbor had tons of Barbies. My mom stopped buying them for me because I kept cutting their hair off.
This sign is close to a machine cleaning trash and other debris from a canal. Snakes accidentally get scooped with the debris and slither over the side.

Text from https://justbirding.com/what-birds-mate-for-life/ Black Vulture Latin name: Coragyps atratus Unique romantic feature: Fight for fidelity Where they are found: From the southeastern USA to South America Size: Length: 22 to 29 inches (56 to 74 cm); Weight: 2.6 to 4.3 pounds (1.18 to 1.95 kg): Wingspan: 4.4 to 5.5 feet (1.34 to 1.68 m) Diet: Carrion ~~Black vultures prove you don’t have to be beautiful to enjoy a committed, long-term relationship.~~ Um, rude. Looking dressed more for a funeral than a wedding, these scavenger birds feature all-black plumage with bumpy, featherless grayish-black heads, and short, hooked beaks. Found in open habitats and along roads from the southeastern United States to South America, black vultures are all about family life. They form bonds that last their whole lives (about 10 years).

I didn't know about these so I looked it up. Here's a video, if you also don't know.
