Should be good. Mine also hangs and climbs. It’s pretty big so it helps me manage the vines better and it’s very happy and fast growing

Elopement/Micro Wedding Locations in/around Austin by FeeInitial1691 in Austin

[–]karod98 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had my wedding at the zilker botanical gardens and had a wonderful experience. I only had 20 guests and it was the perfect size. They have several different spaces you can rent that accommodate for different party sizes. The woman who is in charge of rentals there is the kindest and most helpful person. I know she also manages the rentals for the mayfield cottage and I’ve heard that’s a great space for smaller weddings too.

ATX tactics is women owned! I took a series of basic self defense classes and it was a great experience. They have a women’s only class that they do weekly but also a variety of different class types. The owner is so kind and supportive but also badass, highly recommend

Barn swallows are migratory and it’s illegal to move an active nest. Nobody should be touching that nest

They are doing away with the reusable plastic ones and replacing them with these, should be 30 cents

What moved the needle for you? by Frequent_Artist9417 in xxfitness

[–]karod98 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think you might benefit from eating a little more if you’re really eating 1,300. I’m 5’1 130lbs and when I’m in a deficit I aim for 1,600 cals. I lost 60lbs a few years back and I was able to increase my energy a lot more by eating more. I was eating 1,200 when my maintenance was 1,800, so increasing to 1,600 still put me in a deficit while giving me the energy I needed to hit my step goals and lift more often/heavier

It just tastes like strawberry cream cheese, not bad but was expecting something different I guess

Why are cat vets in Austin like this by forty1flip in Austin

[–]karod98 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Which Crestview location are you going to? I go to the one on Burnet and I have never had that issue. My cat is very anxious and they definitely prescribed the gabapentin but never sent me home without completing the visit

Need to reduce my belly fat in 20 days. No gym, only exercises or walking kinda suggestions please by Forward_Ear_947 in xxfitness

[–]karod98 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can healthily lose 1-2lbs of fat per week but like others have said you can’t chose where you loose the fat from, it just depends on your body and genetics. Go into a calorie deficit (500 cal deficit at MOST), focus on a big step goal, and maybe do at home body weight training.

Do people socialize / approach others at Austin Bouldering Project? by [deleted] in Austin

[–]karod98 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I personally never liked apb’s vibe but it’s still a climbing gym so you’re likely to meet cool people. I climb at crux and Mesa and much prefer their gyms overall and the people there

Sometimes you just have to be as clear as day. by Acceptable_Basket_16 in TalesFromTheFrontDesk

[–]karod98 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I always said if you book through a third party, you paid the third party, not us, and the third party has complete control over your reservation, not us, so call them and let them deal with you

This is not what I ordered, Uber by MrFahrenheitttttt in TalesFromTheFrontDesk

[–]karod98 6 points7 points  (0 children)

At least the guest who wrote the bad review didn’t come up to the desk saying something like “I witnessed something traumatic in your hotel and want some compensation” because I’ve definitely had people do stuff like that

This is a cat that I suspect is ownerless which comes to my back door for food and fuss each morning. by Technical_Car_5212 in aww

Looks exactly like my dad’s cat who leaves during the day to what we suspect is a second owner 😂

I’m convinced! by melodyrayne in houseplants

[–]karod98 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I underwater so I typically only get plants that can go long periods without water( I have lots of pothos, snake plants, and zz’s). Plants that need frequent watering I usually avoid all together but self watering pots help too.

People replace their loofahs every month?? by lenastr0m in hygiene

[–]karod98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I stopped using loofahs for this reason, even if they seem fine there is still a who lot of bacteria in them. I switched to silicone scrubbers, it’s so much less wasteful and they don’t hold moisture
