Abuse of power

Allen has time and time again harassed vape store and smoke shop owners, Back when the raids happened 3 of the 9 were caught selling to minors or illegal cannabis the other 6 had cashiers who didn't know they needed to say THCA because THC is illegal (yes that's something they should know i worked at one and left two weeks before the raids. my replacement was foreign and these laws are confusing) They sent us a warning letter saying other shops were "reported selling illegal products or to minors" and then said we can't sell illegal THC, CBD, or any other forms of hemp" firstly we don't and never have but when you heat up THCA it degrades into THC which is a different chemical we don't sell!!!! texas uses heat in the testing for cannabis percentages so even if we sold legal THCA as soon as they heat it up it's no longer legal THCA that's an unfair representation of what we sell and they use these laws and loopholes to raid us and limit us from operating or medicating the citizens of allen without hardcore narcotics.

RN positions in Allen

Anyone know of any RN jobs/volunteer in Allen?

I have tried locally but always end up in Plano or Frisco or McKinney. I have been out of work for 2 years and now trying to get back in the field.

Looking for part time position or even as a volunteer to use my nursing skills. Very hard working and fast learner, over 10+ years of working experiences. Have worked in various fields such as surgical, med-surg, home health, long term care and even telehealth.

Any suggestions and help would be appreciated!

Don’t Speed on McDermott west of I-75

These last two weeks there have been an abundance of cops patrolling between Custer and I-75 along McDermott. Undercover and regular vehicles, mostly trying to take advantage of the speed limit change going down the hill by Allen Family Vet. Their patrolling is easily 3x what it was in the prior months.

The police chief must have given them higher quotas to fill for 2025. Best to play it safe.

Any middle/high school teachers here?

I'm creating an app that's in the sphere of "party game" that involves memorization, deduction and teamwork and would like the opportunity to test the app out with a younger audience. If there are other people reading this and interested with a group of 4+ people available to play, message me too

Help! How to deal with a speeding ticket?

Hello all!

I am a 24 yo and I unfortunately got a speeding ticket in Allen County going East on W McDermott Dr. The ticket states that I was going 60 in a 45 zone.

My question is should I,
- request a court hearing with the judge or,
- plead 'Guilty' or 'No Contest' and do a defensive driving course or,
- go for a deferred disposition?

What do you think would be the best course of action here? This is my first ticket in TX (hopefully my last as well). I am less concerned about the ticket price and more concerned about insurance rate increasing. I am already paying high for insurance because I got a speeding ticket last year in VA and had to pay it off because I had a lack of options. I don't have a habit of speeding or driving recklessly, this was a mistake!

How can I get the ticket dismissed or at least get no points on my record to prevent my insurance from going up? Appreciate the help!

Thank you!

Would anyone know some good resources for Spanish speaking people to learn English in person, that is affordable? I'm open to all suggestions but also would prefer suggestions that are considerate of people with full time work schedules?

does anyone know where to donate clothes

I feel like Goodwill and other resale shops aren’t the best options. Anyone know of genuine charities or people who need clothes?
