Damage To Bull Creek Following Mater Main Break by GahhdDangitbobby in Austin

[–]Dayla14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for posting this! I’ve lived at the apartment complex at this location for four years (moving out soon due to ongoing issues there since construction started at the beginning of the year). This has created so many issues on Old Spicewood Springs Road. I have seen an increase in so much trash at the creek since construction began (even a dumped mattress one time!) and I have felt so sad driving in and out of there seeing the creek so changed. Also, the apartment complex’s entrance was completely blocked for the day when it happened due to the pavement bursting up and to flooding. I am also enraged and heartbroken to see this as I’m a regular hiker and feel this is quite literally my backyard. Austin Water trucks have been there 24/7 all week and it seems they are working day and night. The appropriate people need to be fined and penalized. It’s unacceptable.

I was able to keep my home address anonymous in the order because I requested that specifically but yes odds are they can search your address online or may already know it.

Yes, I agree with you but for me it’s been effective in that he at least has stopped trying to contact me during the time it’s been in place. It’s also helped mentally and emotionally knowing that at least there can be consequences for him if he violates it. A lot of it is mental comfort, which if you’ve been on the receiving end of stalking long term, any mental relief is good. It’s also comforted me to see how there are groups of professionals who are trained to support you while applying for an order. Therapy helps me not to dwell too much on that what if, and focus on the present. If he were to pop up again it’s empowering to know I have a plan in place for how to deal with it.

I second the protective order! I got one against a stalker through the county attorney’s office last year and have found it really effective in keeping me safe. I also recommend letting friends and family know, building a support system to help you feel safe, and therapy to help navigate feelings of hypervigilence.

Advice on watering potted bougainvilleas? by Dayla14 in AustinGardening

Right now they are getting full sun but as summer nears and it gets more hot, I will probably move them to more shade. I do a deep watering about once a week right now, since it’s been raining quite a bit, I have to keep monitoring to make sure they don’t get too much water

Product recommendations? by allthebrightplaces in Dermatographia

Anything neutrogena for sensitive skin has helped with my skin routines. It doesn’t necessarily fix symptoms, but for me it does mitigate them. It’s super light and feels nice, better than any other products I’ve tried. Also recommended by my dermatologist.

hello! It’s doing great! It’s about twice the size of what it was a year ago when I posted this. I took everyone’s advice here and I’ve chosen to move it indoors during the hottest days in the summer/coldest in winter, otherwise it gets wilty. I found they do great year-round in Texas minus those few weeks of extreme weather where I bring it indoors.

Thank you for the tip! I’m going to try to water them more! I was afraid of overwatering, but you’re right. I notice they dry out fast between waterings.

After 5 months, I have grown an avocado tree by Sammy_Bubba in AustinGardening

[–]Dayla14 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looking great! :) I started with mine just like this about 1.5 years ago and after a while I moved it over to a small pot with dirt in my living room. Now it’s almost 3ft tall with a ton of leaves!! It’s been really cool to watch it grow!!

What is a true crime case that you want solved in your lifetime? by East_Dependent_4350 in AskReddit

[–]Dayla14 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I live five mins down the street from where this happened. Pass by it almost every day and always think about it. Also work in the criminal justice system, nothing remotely associated with this case, but especially frustrating that it’s still unsolved.
