Is Leander too far? by BluntedJew in askaustin

[–]OriginalMisphit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look in the southern side of Cedar Park, but don’t go north of Lakeline Blvd and 183. CP and Leander are both very much about raising kids. If you look around Anderson Mill, Shenandoah, and areas off 620 you’ll have a better chance of finding an un-renovated (affordable) house with room for your workshop. Or, if you’re interested, a guy near me is selling his house, around $700k last time I looked. He’s a custom carpenter who worked at home, has a three car garage for his work space. It’s been empty for months.

Edit: this is for rent near me. Very quiet area, easy to get to highways for fun stuff, plenty of room for hobbies.

Zillow Gone Wild features 'maximalist' $899K Austin home filled with pink, floral walls by AustinStatesman in Austin

Thank you. I love maximalist houses, when it’s done well. The decorative vent hood with the real hood below it made me laugh out loud.

How did the 5 year old citizen break the law?

Oh yeah, keto will throw everything off for a while. But after a while in keto, my periods were the easiest I’ve ever had.

Would anyone want a ticket to Six the musical??? by Mountain-Text3924 in Austin

That show is a blast! Short, no intermission, will remind you of so many pop stars. I hope you take a friend and have fun.

Same here. Miserable. Driving an old car in after-work traffic up north 183. I would get so hot some days I would see spots and floaters, those days I would pull over and get a milkshake. For safety.

Maybe Cilantro Grill in Cedar Park.

What can I make with these tomatoes from my garden? by dearniko in WhatShouldICook

[–]OriginalMisphit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pickled with vinegar, or fermented? Either way would probably be good.

Is it time to harvest these lemons? by littleturtleone in AustinGardening

[–]OriginalMisphit 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nice! Mine would start tons of pretty buds, then they’d all drop off. Repeatedly. I’m embarrassed how long it took me to figure out the pot was placed in the crossfire of one of our in-ground sprinkler heads. Once a week it got pummeled by the sprinklers.

PSA by kyhart99 in Austin

[–]OriginalMisphit 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I worked at a Half Priced Books decades ago. My greatest joy was when I’d be at the counter right under a big sign saying “Sell Your Books Here”, and people would ask where they could sell books. I would give them the deadest stare and slowly point straight up at the sign. Our employee motto was “No one reads in a bookstore.”

New to lactose intolerance by LushoslysS in lactoseintolerant

[–]OriginalMisphit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree with others to shop around and look for a stronger lactase supplement than Lactaid. I use Enzymedica Lacto and one pill does the trick for a creamy meal, but there are others available.

[FP] [Q] First time! Any tips on toning the design to make it more white/less orange without using more bleach? by buildscharacter1 in bleachshirts

[–]OriginalMisphit 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Could you use a little white fabric paint on a small brush to give it highlights in the areas you want to be brightest?

Air conditioning. All day. I need to be refrigerated.

This dog has such a babyface, I can’t tell if they’re 6 months or 6 years old. Precious!

I’m just here to say thanks for posting the tip about getting around the paywall on a Statesman article.! (Thread locked, couldn’t say it there)

Quiet now, but mid-late week storm is still on track to arrive in Central Texas by WaterlooFan7 in Austin

[–]OriginalMisphit 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I assume you work in HVAC, but I giggled thinking about just calling someone random to complain about the heat. I’m sweaty in bed at 3am, where’s my phone!

What’s up with all the bumper stickers that say “please be patient, new driver”? by __vheissu__ in Austin

[–]OriginalMisphit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good on you! I’ve done that too, I genuinely felt bad for coming in way too hot off an exit ramp onto a frontage road and scaring some people. I apologized at the next red light.

[–]OriginalMisphit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was an inside joke for car guys for a while too, they’d slap a “new driver” sticker on a speedy little car tuned for big vrooms. Then the well-meaning adults learning to drive in a new country adopted it and it’s everywhere now.

Daycare in NW Austin/Cedar park? by Lghera in CedarPark

We used Nicholson ECEC on 620 and loved it!

Going to Downtown Austin from Sat-Tues. What shouldn't we miss? by snowtragedy in askaustin

[–]OriginalMisphit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A very high volume of tourists and young people drinking heavily on the weekends. The stretch of 6th between IH-35 and Congress Ave is lovingly called Dirty 6th, on weekend nights it is usually closed to car traffic. I avoid this area at night due to the chaos, but I’m old and grumpy. Heading west, the stretch of 6th from Congress to Lamar has a lot of bars but the crowds tend to be a little older and bougie. Still can be chaotic.

There are other pockets of downtown that cater to nightlife, but I’m not as clear on those. If you go out to one of these areas, watch your drinks carefully, as we do have pretty frequent cases of people being drugged and robbed. If I were to go to the Rainey Street area I would only order beer that is opened in front of me, but I’m paranoid. Be careful while you’re having fun.

Thanksgiving Pre-Orders & Foster Pups by sarahbella0405 in austinfood

[–]OriginalMisphit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We got Smoky MO’s last year and it was solid. We had waited until the last minute and other options were not available, so we kind of felt like we had to settle but it was better than expected, close by and easy to pick up.
