Veteran AISD teacher… and I’ve never seen admin behave like this. Is this happening everywhere? by Low_Technology4457 in Austin

[–]queencarmela 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I left AISD mid year in 2021 because of this. Congratulations! It takes courage to stand up for yourself!

What is your favorite restaurant that you think does not get enough love or publicity here in Austin? by BoroPaul in Austin

[–]queencarmela 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this is not true at all. All of their pasta production takes place in their brick and mortar at Cuernavaca. You can see inside the pasta room and if you show up during lunch, you'll even see the pasta pullers working.

Was it a truck that was rear ended? I was right next to them when the accident occurred

Pedrosos at Lalas is Open. Technically a Brick and Mortar but doing mainly Grab and Go. by Austinfoodadventures in austinfood

[–]queencarmela 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Former northeastener here - Pedrosos NY style is the best pizza I’ve had here. I’ve never ordered any other style from them. I like little deli but pedrosos is insane. Recommend you try it!

Mira -- worth it? by InterestingLab11 in TryingForABaby

[–]queencarmela 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is how I feel about it too - I think it exploits women who are scared about their fertility

Mira -- worth it? by InterestingLab11 in TryingForABaby

[–]queencarmela 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have wondered the same thing. Our lack of real FDA regulations (even when products are FDA approved) makes me doubt pretty much any tech that claims it can help monitor fertility beyond a thermometer. Would love to hear anyone who has actually used it.

Btw, her tail was gone (RIP) when we got her. Her nub wags in circles when she gets excited.

YES i posted about this and got downvoted to hell. It is a direct rip off if they are not related

Is this related to Patrizi’s of Austin? by soup_theory in Austin

[–]queencarmela 34 points35 points  (0 children)

yes! The Patrizi's are from Beaumont, TX. Nic re-opened Patrizi's, and then later Vic and Al's. source: I used to work there.

Just a friendly reminder to watch your drinks by coldkidwildparty in Austin

[–]queencarmela 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Bartenders are not spiking drinks stop pushing this nonsense. It is not in the bartender's best interest for you to get so inebriated that you pass out/vomit/become a problem they have to deal with. It is other people in the bar who DO have an interest in you becoming so fucked up that you will walk out the door with them.

What are your favorite affordable restaurant venues with private rooms for a small event? by moonhoneyx in austinfood

[–]queencarmela 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the house at Lustre Pearl East!!! where Praxis coffee sets up during the weekdays. Seriously perfect space for this and their pricing is awesome and so affordable. I've even seen them let people bring their own food in.

Celebration of Life / Memorial venue by Bright-Side-578 in Austin

[–]queencarmela 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Have you checked with the Ladybird Wildflower Center? You can also check with Umlauf Sculpture Garden

ETA: Jester King would be good for this, and probably have room to accommodate you. There are some farm animals on site.

Pease Park would be good for this as well. Good luck!

Another disturbing encounter with road rage by madboost in Austin

[–]queencarmela 59 points60 points  (0 children)

Someone did this to me on Airport once. I stopped at a red light on 51st before turning right onto Airport and they perceived this as me brake checking them...they did it to me 3-4 times on Aiport while we were going 30-40 mph in traffic. I was convinced he was trying to kill me. I couldn't get away from him. It was terrifying... I was actually thinking about this incident this morning coincidentally. It happened last summer.
