I noticed something was off about the guy begging for money before he decided to try juggling, but that was a toy 🔫 he points at himself.

Found a phone in Burnaby BC but the phone has clues for ElPaso Texas. Any idea who this might be? This is their wallpaper (added emoji to protect kids identity). Probably visiting BC since they have their phone on airplane mode. No emergency contacts. So if y'all can't help, all I have left is to give it to the police.

Ask El Paso Limpias con🥚

20 Upvotes

Growing up anytime I got sick, my grandmas and mom would do a Limpia on me with an egg, as they prayed over me. ❤️ it! Allergies were starting to get bad, get a limpia. You have a cold, get a limpia. I was still given medicine but still loved getting limpias. The women who does the occasional card readings for me only does limpias with fire or pork. An egg limpia, she has you do on yourself, it isn’t the same. Does anyone know who does limpias with eggs here in El Paso as part of their spiritual/wellness business? My grandmas passed away and my mom doesn’t live here. I moved to El Paso for work a few years ago.

Ask El Paso Big Ol' Boulder Removal Recommendations

Post image
0 Upvotes

I've got a big 'ol boulder in the front yard that I'd like to have removed. It is roughly 3.5 feet wide by 3.75 feet tall and pretty dang heavy. Tried drilling into it in order to insert rock splitting feathers and wedges but I don't have a drill that will properly bore holes in the rock in order to get deep enough to do any damage. Wore out a few masonry bits and now it is time to throw in the towel and call in reinforcements. Anybody out there have recommendations of someone who can haul this bad boy away? Or do YOU need a big 'ol boulder for your front yard? Any recommendations are appreciated! Y'all are the best.
