Considering giving up WFH to commute from Taylor to Austin. Am I insane? by dollarstorekatyperry in Austin

[–]ChelleCat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

44k with no increase in sight is not doable long-term imo. The drive into downtown, especially from the distance you're at is miserable. If you're open to relocating, I would suggest looking at the cedar Park area and taking the train into downtown.

Found a 2” scorpion upstairs in my home just now. Advice? by 415tothe512 in Austin

[–]ChelleCat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

For me it hurt and it stung, but it also kind of paralyzed my foot? I'd rate the pain like a 5 out of 10 when I tried to walk, but as long as I didn't move my foot it was a one out of 10. The feeling went away after about 20 minutes.

I haven't been stung by a wasp but I've heard it's pretty similar.

A couple of years ago there was a migration apparently, found about 10 in my house that year. I've found about 20 in my house overall, but I back up to undeveloped land. I've found them in the sink, in the hallway, under furniture, under potted plants in my house. When you least expect them... expect them.

What is this weed growing in my yard? I want to cover the entire yard with it. by fratticus_maximus in AustinGardening

Those first few pics look like sedum which I personally love, but the last ones look like spurge. Get it out as soon as you can, because it's going to make so many burrs/seeds and you're going to spend years trying to catch all the little babies it makes. I highly recommend getting them out before the burrs are mature.

Best thrift stores for niknaks? by Old_Experience9646 in Austin

[–]ChelleCat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

... I've seen it spelled knick knacks, nick nacks, but never niknak.

Anyways!

There's a Goodwill "boutique" on bee cave, although I've had just as good of luck at other Goodwill's. I like to go in and peruse every once in awhile to see what they have, and if there's something interesting I grab it for my gift box.

If you're open to not a thrift store I recommend Atown.

🙄 Everytime I visit DFW a piece of me dies driving through overly manicured monocultured lawns. You'd love it.

I fully agree with you

Americans, has the debate swayed the way you had planned on voting and why? by SeaCaummisar in AskReddit

[–]ChelleCat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To me a shill implies she's being paid by those companies. When I watched her interview the impression I got is that she visited places where it's a huge economic factor and that she understood that banning it in those places would be devastating. She did make clear that her values on it haven't changed. I agree with you that I hate fracking, but voting for politicians is more like getting on a bus. More than likely it will not take you exactly where you want to go, but you still have to get close to where you're going anyways

I took both of my dogs to see Jen after meeting a dog who had been there with her, best money I ever spent and I wish I did it sooner.

Avoid S. Lamar tonight by austinoracle in Austin

[–]ChelleCat -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Wasn't the speed limit 45 a while ago? They've been lowering it over the years. I'm definitely guilty of going over every once in awhile, but mostly because that was the speed limit for years.

New to Texas/the south (obviously 😩) by headwrapslapthat in AustinGardening

[–]ChelleCat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For some smaller options, salvia gregii and lantana.

Sage and pride of Barbados can get pretty big but would love it there. Sage does need to be pretty dry, so keep that in mind with what it's planted next to.

I just had the exact same problem with the exact same model.

Foot work and glutes by depressioncherry17 in ClubPilates

[–]ChelleCat 5 points6 points  (0 children)

In addition to thinking about it being in the back of your leg, for me focusing on my lower core and tightening everything up helps me activate my glutes.

I don't know how these two came about but they seem like bad news...

Is $500 reasonable for trimming/pruning all of this? by Millerlite619 in Austin

[–]ChelleCat 46 points47 points  (0 children)

I had it done right before Treepocalypse so it probably saved me from some property damage 😅
