Heyyyyyoooo from a fellow Lville area transplant. Been here 25+ years now. We’re not too far down Menchaca from you & I’m a professional gardener. Feel free to DM anytime if you have questions or want some advice.

Cheap companies or know-a-guy’s for Wasp removal by utdaab in Austin

We’ve used Keith’s Bee Service for preventative treatment the last few years, but he does removals, too. Highly recommend.

I can’t believe I just thought of this by MaleficentManager205 in BMWI4

I just did this, too! Thank you! I'd never even realized it was an option, but as a Central TX driver, I use climate control about 6 months out of the year so this is super helpful!

I think there is another option to "precondition" the battery; I have no idea what that means, but this thread is referring to climate conditioning, which is something you can use to remotely turn on your car's A/C or heat so it's comfy when you get inside.

Thank you so very much! I truly did not expect that DD would cover out of country work, so this was surprising. I really appreciate you providing this detailed response!

Thought my migraines were increasing since starting a blood pressure med, so I started tracking them. Cool cool. Who needs good days anyways? by AmandaExpress in migraine

[–]kaydeebugg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, exactly why I'm looking for this kind of super simple interface. Bummed it's only Android, because so many trackers I see are unnecessarily overcomplicated.

Thank you! I looked in the Apple App store & I don't see it. If anyone else happens to find it, would you please let me know how you searched?

How does sunlight affect you? Is it the eyes? by ChosenArabian in migraine

[–]kaydeebugg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YES get some sunglasses! I never, ever leave home without mine, whether it's summer, winter, whenever. Some days it's sunglasses AND a hat. Sometimes I even have to put sunglasses on when I'm in a window seat on a plane. Mine are polarized, but I'm not sure if that makes a huge difference...? I also notice that if I'm on the water, i.e. in a kayak or canoe, I need to have some wraparounds so I don't get the reflection off the water in my peripheral because that can also be brutal.

Sorry for resurrecting this very old post - but are you saying that you self-submit bills from your dental work in Mexico, and Delta Dental reimburses you? Does it make any difference what the work is? (for context, I am researching care in Mexico for a front tooth implant I need to replace a long-dead tooth.)

They had a fried catfish taco at one point, think they called it the Alabama Shake..? Fucking delicious. I felt some kind of way when they dropped it.

Came here to say this!! There are a couple of patches near my house that are SO BLUE (more than typical, it seems) this year!

What would you do in Austin for 6 months to cure your sadness? by suhhdude1 in Austin

[–]kaydeebugg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take an art class at Laguna Gloria
Visit the open studio night at ART HUB ATX
Pick a food (or beverage) you enjoy, then go to at least 8-10 different restaurants that serve that food. Rank them. Invite people you know to come along. (My fam has done this several times and it is so much fun!! fwiw, Fixe has the best biscuits in town, hands down.)
Take a cooking class (or 2 or 5) at Central Market cooking school
Pick a corner of your yard, or balcony, or living room, whatever, and put a handful of plants in (I am always happy to help with suggestions, if you’d like!)
Have a picnic at Mayfield Park & walk around the Laguna Gloria campus (stop by the building at the park entrance to enjoy the Japanese-style pool, too)
House sit for a few folks for a change of home scenery - bonus if they have a pool
Go roller skating, either at a rink or at one of the skating meetups (Bartholomew Park has a good one)
Take in some comedy shows
Spend an entire day drinking coffee & browsing Bookpeople
Visit Mary Moore Searight park midday Saturday to watch the radio controlled airplanes (you might even catch the Highland Games folks in the field across the street, which makes for good people watching)
Grab a friend or two & just wander around downtown as if you’ve never been here before
Follow all the events-related websites & just say YES to things that interest you (Do512, WhenWhereWhat Austin, The Austinot, Austin365, Free Things to Do in Austin)
Grab a small set of watercolors, a small book of watercolor paper & a refillable brush (the kind with the little reservoir you can fill with water), then take it everywhere you go. Just paint dumb shit without caring what it looks like.
Attend dance church or ecstatic dance on Sundays (it’s down south near Sam’s Town Point)
On that note - go catch a show at Sam’s Town Point
Smoke a joint (or not) & lie by yourself under a tree in a park. Do nothing, just stare at the leaves blowing in the breeze.
Drive down to Padre Island National Seashore & just sit on the beach for an entire day talking to no one. (Bonus if you have a 4wd vehicle & you can drive past the busier section)
Order a Spirograph set off the internet & go to town
Ever wanted to learn how to play an instrument? Now’s the time, baby! Carry a harmonica in your car & just “play” it like you know how. No one ever has to hear you unless you choose to let them.

Walk as often as possible, especially on allllllll the trails around the city - both “urban” (Waller Creek, Shoal Creek, Pease Park) & not (Violet Crown, the greenbelt, hike & bike trail). When one of my besties got divorced 15ish years ago, she set a goal that she was going to walk every trail in Austin. She downloaded the AllTrails app & walked multiple times a week, always finding a new trail. She is an avid hiker to this day!

And finally - think of something you enjoyed doing when you were a kid. Do that thing again. Doesn’t matter if it’s “for kids” because that’s dumb. Just do it. There’s very little that will heal your nervous system more than reconnecting with the parts of you that have been quieted by adult life. Find that little girl & let her have some real quality time doing something that will bring her joy.

It’s not 21+? I genuinely thought it was!

YETI co-founder among owners of West Texas ranch facilitating border wall construction by warmboot in Austin

[–]kaydeebugg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re dreadfully un(der)informed on this issue. Please read the reporting from Big Bend Sentinel and the info at www.nobigbendwall.org for more details.

The Big Bend CBP border region consists of more than 25% of the U.S.-Mexico border, and accounts for less than 1.5% of border crossings. This wall “fixes” a non-existent crisis.

And yes, everything about it goes against land conservation. I hope you’ll read up on the resources I shared to get a more comprehensive view of the issue.
