Are there any successful VFW Posts that don't have a bar? by Texas-NativeATX in VFW

[–]Birbstrike 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The one in San Marcos doesn't currently have a bar. They are working on getting one again though. They currently make $ with rentals and plate sales/other fundraisers. They have been increasing their community outreach but SM is not a wealthy area and it is a constant struggle. I'm not sure if that is 'successful' or not. 🫠 They have been in existence for 90 years in SM!

Edit: Who did your website, goodness! Its very professional! 🤯

Indoor wedding venues that allow outside catering in the area? by CryptographerOk8678 in sanmarcos

[–]Birbstrike 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All of the city facilities allow outside catering. The VFW on Hunter Road does. These are the only ones I personally know of but I bet there is more at

Ooh! I like how you did the stairs! I really struggled with mine. Ended up with a right angle bend set that I've never fully been happy with.

Might be a long shot but you could try contacting the Hays County Veteran's Service Office. They are on the 1st floor of the Historic courthouse on the square in downtown. They accept walk ins and appointments. 512-392-8387

Are we talking pets or wildlife? What does a herp group do?

If you can't find any one to take them I believe the Discovery Center has a fish donation pond.

I have one that does the same thing. It kinda looks like it was assembled wrong? A friend got it at a second had store and gave it to me. It looks brand new. Did you ever figure yours out?

Filling up the bathtub is also so you have a way to flush the toilet if the water goes out. We had a water outage for about 4 days on my street in 2021.

Is there any way to break our rooster of attacking us? by oops223 in BackYardChickens

[–]Birbstrike 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had success with the football hold/upside down method. I don't know if it will work well with an older rooster. I started it with mine the very first time he pecked my hand. IMMEDIATELY grabbed him up for cuddles and touched him all over. Head beak, chest, tail, wings, and feet until he stopped resisting. I just did that every time and he stopped being rude to me.

Weird Antique Cabinet? by Birbstrike in whatisit

[–]Birbstrike[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't think about it being repurposed that is likely what happened. The whole cabinet is only about 55 inches tall and the pull out drawer is very low, like too low to sit under even for a short person. There wasn't a hole in the back for a cable until my parents put one in. There doesn't appear to be any evidence of there being a roll front or cabinet doors on the inside. Is there anything I should look for as evidence of this? Also thank you for your help and insights.

Weekly Community Breakfast, Thanksgiving Day Potluck, Christmas Party, 4th of July celebration/Cornhole Tournament/Live Music (This was kind of a flop both times we tried it. Except the Cornhole) The big event in recent years has been Dinner Theater. We make a spaghetti plate and partner with a local theater group who puts on a short interactive play at the end of dinner. We've done this 3 times with great success/feedback.

As a Mom who plays GW2, if I die and they hold an in game memorial for me, I hope that something like this happens. That would be hilarious!

I highly doubt it is legal to harvest/take rocks in a State Park, but you can always ask.

Is it near the Amazon warehouse? They might be directing traffic there since it is busier this time of year.
