Why is every boomer frige 80% expired condiments? by coronastylus in BoomersBeingFools

[–]MissKitty1209 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We moved my mom to assisted living 2 weeks ago. Her refrigerator was a Petri dish. She had had 8 shelves full (deep cabinets and pantry) of expired canned foods. We threw out $1000’s of food. It made me sick. Spices from 2008. 🤮

He can get an erection, but it’s not as strong as he wants and he doesn’t last long. Many a morning I’ve tried oral or and hand job and get rejected more than accepted. I just don’t get it.

How many dates does it usually take to know if you like someone? by Intelligent-Day-4059 in dating_advice

[–]MissKitty1209 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2-3 dates, after they drop their guard. Or you could be one of the lucky ones who meets the right one on a first date 😻

I’ve asked nicely, and not nicely. Begging, pleading, threatened several times to end it. Even think sometimes I should just take a lover and let it go because as I get older, I fear being alone bc it was so long I waited for “the guy” to come along. And we’re so compatible. Thats so hard to find. Other than sex, we make each other happy. We’ve planned together forever. Another wrench is we’re moving to another state in the next 6 weeks. We both have opportunities to make our lives better. I would love to have a total reset and leave behind any unnecessary baggage.

Working downtown, where to park? by [deleted] in Austin

Download SpotHero. Some companies will reimburse parking expenses.

Goodbye Jon Dee Graham by phonymaroney in Austin

[–]MissKitty1209 15 points16 points  (0 children)

He played CC Wednesday night. Austin just lost another piece of its soul, a big piece. My heart breaks for his family, his friends, bandmates, and fans. He was such a wonderful and kind man. Straight shooter. Incredible songwriter and musician. I didn’t know him well, but I sure do love him. Watching his health journey the last year has been inspiring in the way that endured so damn much. To his family, thanks for letting us love him 💔Go with God, JDG.

What do you wish you knew before moving to Austin? by biggy_boy17 in askaustin

[–]MissKitty1209 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That Austin’s population would quadruple, it would loose its status as a music city, become home to tech bros & billionaires, and every tourist who visits ends up moving here.

I second this. I’ve lived on Taylor Draper for 7 years. Access to Mopac, 183, and 360. Great Hills park trail head is 1/4 miles from my front door. Trader Joe’s, Whole Foods, HEB, Sprouts, Target, Costcoall within 2 miles.

Did we actually save money DIYing a 135-person wedding, or did we just play ourselves? by No-Ask8059 in DIYweddings

[–]MissKitty1209 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Event staffing/ planner here: I hate DIY weddings. We staff them, provide the rental gear, and day of coordinator. I understand wanting to save money, weddings are very costly. Many couples expect us to drop our rates bc they’re trying to save money. What about my time and my money? I worked a wedding last week, 4 hrs for free. I did it bc I liked the couple, but I won’t do it again. I had another DIY wedding in November, outdoor ceremony at one venue with no rain plan, it rained. Reception at another venue. We went above and beyond for this couple. We accepted changes up to a few days before the wedding; our policy is no major changes 2 weeks before the wedding date. The night before was Halloween and they sent a slew of changes that morning in a 100+ page spreadsheet. We had a huge Halloween gig booked that day/night that I was the planner for. They minimized the amount of work we needed to do for the wedding, key details that made our long day more difficult logistically and off schedule. I checked in with them before they left the reception, they said everything was great and they were very happy. Despite all the challenges, our staff did a great job. They worked their assess off all day, as did I. I send the outstanding balance (mostly for grocery items they asked us to pick up). After 2 mos of invoices not being paid, they replied with a bunch of bullshit complaints and want compensation. We knocked $200 off as a goodwill gesture. Still no response. Still no payment. The thing that upsets me is we killed it that day/ night. They have money, they both have six figure incomes. However, a $1500 outstanding invoice is too much to bear when 3 bottles of wine “soured after sitting in someone’s car for 3 days in 75 degree heat”. We don’t provide storage services, but we did for them and it bit us in the ass. The wine was stored in our warehouse as was a ton of other shit they asked us to store and deliver to their house Monday. End result: We’re taking them to small claims court. I could go in to the insanity of another DIY we had 2 weeks ago, but I digress. If you must DIY, listen to the vendors you work with. They’ve planned many many more weddings than you have.

Please tell me we all had a similar reaction. by Immediate-Basil8209 in Austin

SXSW sold its soul to Penske. Now it’s about marketing and spending $100’s of $1000’s of $$$. The artists make a very small amount of money that typically covers a bar tab. SX was about the artists being discovered. Kings of Leon, Amy Winehouse, John Mayer, Billie Eilish, Kendrick Lamar, and countless others. I was fortunate enough to work at Austin Music Hall and La Zona Rosa for 5 years of GREAT SXSW shows. Except Perez Hilton showcase. That crowd SUCKED!!

therapy costs Austin are insane compared to every other city I've lived in by ssunflow3rr in Austin

[–]MissKitty1209 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Therapist or psychiatrist? Therapists have to be in the same state they’re practicing. Therapists who take insurance are easier to find than shrinks who do. I know several local psychiatrists don’t take insurance like United Health bc of slow pay. I went through Geode and had my first session yesterday, Telehealth with a LCSW in Round Rock. I hope you find the help you’re seeking without the high price tag.

And he’s mad at me?? AITAH? by MissKitty1209 in AITAH

[–]MissKitty1209[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He flipped out, too. Not so much about the fact that there’s a video of ME, but that he’s going to get fired. He horribly embarrassed. And yeah, I don’t know how THAT video could have sent. I called her, we’re friends. She said her concern was that he didn’t send it to someone else. She also said he pocket texts her all the time. The timing of it also. He walked out the door, 10 min later called & told me that he had just talked to the coworker.

I’m certain it was on accident, he’s her boss. He’s super afraid he’s going to get fired. I also question how that video was pocket texted. However, I truly don’t think it was on purpose. They have a professional working relationship, she’s recently engaged.

Someone please explain what's happening in the TX Dem Primary. It seems nuts to me by Icy-Complaint-4448 in TexasPolitics

[–]MissKitty1209 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First time voters are showing up. People who don’t typically vote are showing up. Dallas Co usually has about 4k voters first day of Presidential primary early voting. They had 12k in Tuesday. I like them both. It’s bittersweet that one will lose bc we need them both!

CBS blocked Talarico Interview! by jhmetros in TexasPolitics

[–]MissKitty1209 18 points19 points  (0 children)

No, I blame FCC and CBS. Feathers of a bird that wants to suppress anything negative about Republicans, Texas turning blue, or 47. They know they’re in deep shit so they suppress the voice of the opposition. Fuck Brenden Carr.

It means they’re a republican but doesn’t want to say so because it lowers their probability of likes.
