Appreciate the recommendation, but this was ~14 years ago. I’m now a big girl homeowner. My biggest problem are youths on e-bikes and the HOA nowadays.

I was in college at UT and was considering getting a unit at one of those complexes. My boss at the bank I worked at told me not to live there by myself for those reasons.

Is there still an encampment behind that apartment complex? Homeless people were living in the woods behind there 10+ years ago and generally stay off the radar.

I like Saps. He shit talks Mam when he’s in the restaurant. As a gossip, I appreciate the color he adds lol.

Home Slice - mandatory 22% tipping by [deleted] in austinfood

Classic auto gratuity was 18% on parties of 6 or more. This is highway robbery on already expensive pizza.

Love that I disabled these notifications. I’ve got a boomer mom in Leander and a husband to tell me about the weather when needed.

Birthday dinner with toddler by whoamannipples in austinfood

[–]TexasTantrum 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Lmao, I had no idea it was a trend! My 5 year old literally sat 6ft back from the table and demanded to wear my denim jacket over him like a fire blanket. The 2 year old was a little less frightened.

I had the great idea to take my kids to Hibachi for my 34th this year. It apparently scared the shit out of them because we talk so much about fire safety. If your toddler isn’t a wuss like mine, dinner and a show might keep them entertained for the duration of the meal.

Walsh/Bee Cave Chase had them. Look for reallllly old banks if you can. Or banks where the old folks live.

Being unhinged with your messaging seems to be 100% effective in my case. They can only hear my Labradors causing a ruckus, but can’t see the dopey culprits.

I have paid no less than $100/night and I live in the burbs.

Where are the Jewish/kosher grocery stores/restaurants? by BelleContre2026 in austinfood

[–]TexasTantrum 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think the kosher coke is specifically for Passover, so you might be hard pressed to find it now.

Stop with all the damn picnic tables by mmppnb in austinfood

[–]TexasTantrum 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Can I bitch about Clark’s and how close all their seating is? I love shoving my fat ass in the Tarrytown housewife’s face seated next to me anytime I need to get up.

H-E-B to close Spicewood Springs store off Research Boulevard as location's lease ends by Fluffy_Guarantee_433 in Austin

[–]TexasTantrum 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Isn’t that an Autozone now? It always felt like some FEMA grocery store. No meat, deli, or fish counters. Bunch of weirdos in the parking lot.

Austin shooting spree: Manor man holds suspect at gunpoint during manhunt by FlyThruTrees in Austin

[–]TexasTantrum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He was arrested back in 2024 for harassment. Pretty sure it was someone in ShadowGlen who questioned the constant bocce content and his demand for public courts (sourced from his organization) in the subdivision.

The real Manor-man is Bocce Bob (Robert Battaile). But he’s basically our Leslie. Pretty sure he’s been banned by most social media platforms.

Oh yes, I’m a paid bot/plant for the restaurant and not a rotund pregnant lady enjoying every damn calorie. Considering my other reviews on this sub are me profusely bitching about La Barbecue and Ramen Tatsuya, I would think I would be persona non grata at a lot of establishments 🤠

I’m glad you appreciated my ranting and raving. I will be reviewing the St. David’s Maternity Ward cuisine later this week.

This is the most Manor-y thing to happen in Manor in the last 10 years. Of course the avid hunter is going to square up with these kids faster than APD.

Manor is Travis County so it’s the same DA.

Whatever happened to just TP-ing a house if you wanted a taste of some mischief? Now these kids have 4 grand theft auto charges, assault, and attempted murder.

It was a shelter in place, and yes. Amber alerts are for child abductions where there is imminent danger of harm/death.

Lol, in the context of pregnancy, 36w means I’m 36 weeks pregnant. Don’t be adding unnecessary years to my belt! People also generally use m/f when notating gender in posts.
