📰 In the news
Elevating pilot safety standards: Denison’s Thrust Flight has added aerobatics to its training, putting pilots through flips, spins, and stalls to sharpen emergency skills. The program uses a GB-1 Gamebird and will enter competitions — read the full story.
Exploring regional heritage together: Texas marked 190 years of independence on March 2, and the Sherman Public Library showcased state history with books, coloring pages, and historic photographs for local families — read the full story.
Local retail buzz builds: RB West opened on Denison’s Main Street in late February, drawing hundreds for a ribbon cutting. The new western store invites Sherman-Denison neighbors to shop fresh boots, hats, and apparel — learn more about the opening.
Nothing prepares you for a pet emergency: I learned that the hard way after charging $10k to a credit card for life-saving surgery on my cat, Miss Stache. As soon as we got home, I signed up for Spot. It’s super affordable – and reimburses up to 90% of the bill.
Compare rates for free: The national average for car insurance is around $175/month. Paying more than that? Same, so I did some shopping around and ended up cutting my premium in half. If you haven’t checked in a while, you’re probably overpaying too — here’s the comparison tool I used.
Highlights this week:
|
💎 Local business spotlight
Pie craving, solved: Mom’s Bakery keeps weeknights sweeter with online-order pies, plus cookies and cupcakes for the indecisive. It’s the local standby that rescues dessert emergencies… no fuss, just the good stuff. Think buttery crusts, seasonal flavors, and reliable sweetness when the day runs long.
Blooms that feel personal: If you need a quick pick-me-up centerpiece or a designer’s-choice surprise, Impeccable Poppy crafts fresh stems into arrangements that fit your vibe, all local to Sherman. Plus, thoughtful add-ons and small-batch coconut-soy candles made by the owner.
Hangtime without the hike: When Dallas feels too far, the indoor rock wall at Movie Bowl Grille Sherman delivers a fun, low-stress climb for quick weeknights with friends or kids. Cap it with bowling, arcade victory laps, or a movie for forearms that earned it.
These aren’t ads or sponsored placements, just some cool nearby spots we think are worth a visit.

🫶 We got your back
Your data is for sale right now: There are over 400 websites selling your info to marketers, political campaigns, and scammers. They’ve got your phone number, home address, relatives’ names… you name it. That’s how robocallers seem to know everything about you before you pick up. You can remove your info one site at a time, or pay a service to do it for you. Here’s what we recommend →
Why your last diet didn’t work: Sustained weight loss is nearly impossible with diet alone. Your body literally fights back by making you hungrier the moment you start restricting calories. That’s why more doctors are recommending GLP-1s. The best part? Getting them has never been easier. We compared three programs to help you find the right fit. See which ones stood out →
What doctors wish every 65+ adult had at home: Physicians call it “long-lie,” and it’s the real reason falls are so dangerous for older adults. It’s not a broken bone… it’s lying on the floor for hours waiting for someone to notice. We dug into the options that actually solve this problem, and one stood out. See which one →
Thinning hair? It only gets worse: A few months ago, I noticed my ponytail getting thinner. I tried the usual stuff (biotin, shampoo, etc.) but mostly just hoped it would fix itself… until I learned that active follicles can permanently go dormant if you don’t do something about it. The good news? You can get treatment that actually works with no office visits or trips to the pharmacy. Check out my favorite online options →
