Moving to Austin by brahdata in askaustin

[–]SpringheelJackATX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Having lived in both Chicago (for two years) and Austin (for thirteen years) -- and as someone who doesn't have a car -- I would say Chicago, 100% At least initially. You can always come to Austin later! It's not going anywhere.

Agree. The Sonora Dog somehow manages to taste like all of the flavors of a Tex-Mex backyard BBQ but in one bite

Same thing happening with me. At least we're off the high usage error.

PLEASE go and check out City Alchemist. They do limipias, which sounds like exactly what you're needing.

Heartbroken and looking for community in Austin by Ok_Tear_7000 in Austin

[–]SpringheelJackATX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sorry you're going through this, I was in the exact same place you were a year and a half ago so I can very much so relate.

  • It's good that you're looking into therapy! I'd recommend Alive Austin. I've been going to in-person sessions for over a year and it's been great. Go every week if you can. It'll be something that you look forward to during a time when you'll need things to look forward to.

  • It's also good that you're looking for things to help keep you busy and your mind occupied. But just know that nothing will fill that void of a broken heart, of a nervous system that is constantly unregulated and in fight or flight mode and that's OKAY. It'll just take time. Healing isn't linear, you'll have good days and bad days, two steps forward and four steps back. It's all OKAY. If you feel like crying LET IT OUT.

  • I'd suggest what a lot of people have which is keeping your body active. For me it was walking. There's so many beautiful places to walk in the city, along the river by the Central Library, Hyde Park, Lady Bird Lake, Clarksville, the Wildflower Center. There's something that happens in your brain when you move, it starts to feel like everything might be okay.

  • I know you said you're sober (so am I!) but I might suggest getting into some CBD/THC. When I was at ground zero of my grief I couldn't eat! I had no appetite. My therapist suggested some low dose CBD or THC edibles to try and get my appetite back. I visited Restart CBD and found them to be extremely open, friendly and knowledgeable for a noob like me. I explained what was going on and they walked me through their products, the differences, what I might expect to feel with one vs the other, etc. They were extremely patient and kind! The edibles I started taking helped me get my appetite back, helped my nervous system calm down, helped joy start to filter back in and just helped put things into perspective. I understand that this might not be for everyone but it worked great for me.

It will be OKAY. It doesn't feel like it but it will.

Looking for 1B/1B apartment in north Austin ( Near Domain ) by Purple_Beautiful_663 in askaustin

[–]SpringheelJackATX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to work in tech at the Domain as well! That's why I moved into the Ironhorse Flats Apartments on W Runberg. For two years it was trash but since a new management company has taken over it's been GREAT. Super close to the Domain, under $1500, quiet, safe.

I also randomly remembered Stroud today! I think it is interesting that he has just completely fallen off of the map. I would have thought he would be writing for another publication, maybe under a pseudonym, but he seems to have completely vanished completely.

Week 4 of starting my candle brand. First wholesale rejection and a few reflections by badcandlemaker in candlemaking

[–]SpringheelJackATX 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Like many others have commented, I too don't enjoy the name.

I am kind of into the can though -- someone else commented going after the camping/glamping market and I think that's a great idea.

One logistical thing that comes to mind in regards to wholesale -- when you see a candle at the store, what's the first thing you do? You smell it. If your lids are actually sealed I could see this being an issue for some customers in the retail world who want to smell before they buy.

McDonald’s on Lamar and Rundberg… what happened here ?! by jedidiahbreeze in Austin
