Hi Sherman-Denison, we made it to Thursday!
In today’s fun-for-grown-ups edition: Pink Floyd’s The Wall Experience, a St. Patrick’s Day pub crawl, and HeartMenders’ 25 years of compassion + plenty of reasons to put on real pants this week.
Today’s sponsor, American Hartford Gold, is helping folks around Sherman-Denison protect their savings as gold and silver continue to gain momentum. Their free guide explains what’s driving the surge… and what to know before adding precious metals to your portfolio. Grab your free copy here.

📰 In the news
Compassion in critical moments: HeartMenders at Texoma Medical Center mark 25 years of volunteers guiding heart surgery patients and families through fear and recovery, with Mark Noble sharing lessons before, during, and after surgery — see how they support patients.
Partnership expands North Texas housing: The NRP Group opened a 300‑unit mixed‑income community in Sherman, with half reserved for households up to 80% of area median income and an Essential Worker Living program — read the full story.
Classic rock reimagined onstage: Pink Floyd fans will see The Wall Experience return to Sherman as a live theater concert at Austin College on March 14, with actors, choir, and immersive visuals — get all the details.
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
Your week needs drama: At Sherman Community Players, Once Upon a Pandora’s Box opens this week, with The Play That Goes Wrong up next, so your calendar has options. Live theater resets your mood faster than another scroll session.
Smoked-dog craving fix: Whether you crave a classic or one piled with chopped brisket, Crooked Letter BBQ turns the humble hot dog into a proper Sherman treat. An easy weeknight win, a smoked dog with chips becomes dinner in minutes, and you won’t dirty a single pan.
Fresh page energy: When your TBR needs a morale boost, Sundrop Books nails the sweet spot with new and used gems, cozy community vibes, and regular spotlights on Indigenous authors from its proud Choctaw-owned team. A low-key perfect excuse to duck downtown and return with just one more.

🫶 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 →
Thinning hair? Don’t treat the wrong thing: When my ponytail started thinning, I tried the usual stuff (biotin, shampoo, sprays, etc.) and not one of them lasted. Turns out, most products target the strand, not the follicle… and that’s the whole problem. Once follicles go dormant, they need targeted help to come back. The good news? You can get treatment that actually works with no office visits or trips to the pharmacy. Learn about my favorites here →
Six figures you can’t spend: Most homeowners over 50 have spent years dutifully paying their mortgage, assuming the only time it’ll pay off is when they sell. I thought the same thing until I discovered you can tap into the equity you’ve earned whenever you want (without leaving your home). Overdue for a new roof? Want to build your dream bathroom? There are two ways to turn equity into usable cash →
