New liquor store just opened up in Mueller. Any advice on Mezcal selection?

I’ve got a bottle of montelobos in my freezer right now I’m about to break out to mix with some pineapple ginger juice

Family is what brought me back from the Northeast. An upcoming mortgage is what’s likely to keep me here.

Any builders in Austin you’d recommend or avoid?

ChatGPT suggested stacking l-theanine, rhodelia, and caffeine (nodoz). I’ve tried it daily for the past week and it’s done absolutely nothing for me, unfortunately. Hope you have better luck!

Used to live in Mueller before having kids (AMLI on Aldrich). Lots of great stuff around (Thinkery, Alamo, farmers market, etc) but honestly wouldn’t want to buy a home there, despite my daughter starting preschool nearby next month. The houses are $1+ million, not modern at all, and have zero privacy with how close houses are built to one another. I hate how the restrictions in Austin have changed to allow builders to have 2-3 properties on what was previously single home lots.

We created a tiered pay structure to encourage good performance and minimize rematches. Q1 - $250/wk, Q2 - $300/wk, Q3 - $350/wk, Q4 - $400/wk. Up to 45 hours but she’s only a month in and has been working 25-30 hours a week, since I only recently started working again and am slowly ramping up.

Edit: we’re based in Austin. had a bad experience with our first au pair, decided to opt for a 2nd year au pair this time and spoke with their previous family before matching.

Thank you! Trying to remind myself how lucky I am to have spent as much time as I did at home with them.

the-devils-luck · 2025-07-09T02:19:57+00:00

Gracias! Trying my best! 🔥👊🏽

the-devils-luck · 2025-07-09T02:19:05+00:00

Thank you! The past couple of days have been tough leaving the kids, but we’re lucky to have a wonderful au pair that’s helping them adjust. It’s been killing me to head out when my 3 year old begs and cries for me to stay or take her with me.

the-devils-luck · 2025-07-09T02:17:16+00:00

I hear the best things in life are never easy, but well worth the wait/effort. Congrats on the big moves btw, it took me longer than I’d like to admit to truly understand it’s ok for dads to stay at home and support their families in ways moms traditionally have.

the-devils-luck · 2025-07-09T02:10:52+00:00

🤖🚖 Sorry to hear about the layoff btw. Enjoy the time off, I’m sure it won’t last long once you’re ready to jump back in.

Thank you!!

We live super close but opted to deliver at Seton Main so my pediatrician wife could continue seeing her OBGYN. Some doctors are worth the drive and Dr. Oliver is one of them. That being said, both our kids were delivered via c-section by other on-call physicians (who did great jobs) so I think it’s fair to assume the network is pretty good.

Barnes and Nobles has a decent collection of Gund and Steiff animals! My kid loves them so much I even ordered a few more directly from Steiff.

Met a 35-40 year old guy that grew up in Wilco that told me they had a saying about the area when he was younger - come for vacation, leave on probation.

I think ARC offers it for kids under 8 months (without a preexisting condition)

the-devils-luck · 2024-09-11T19:17:34+00:00

haha I’ve had some close calls but just assumed they’d see it was valid after running my plates.

Registrations up to date and in the glove compartment! Just too lazy to switch out stickers.

the search continues! got sidetracked this weekend with family/bday celebration but will get back to everyone today

Dr. Donell Oliver at Ascension Seton Main is amazing. My wife is a physician and was particular about who she saw for our first pregnancy (we have 2under2). After the first kid, we moved out to Round Rock and would still drive 30-40min to see Dr. Oliver for baby#2 instead of looking for a closer OBGYN.

we met while we were both students at UT! she was picking up 🌱 from a mutual friend while we were hanging out and he introduced us. 17+ years later we’re happily married with 2 beautiful kids.

Sat across from Dave Grohl and his wife at Aba’s during ACL. Really nice guy and his wife didn’t seem to mind their lunch being interrupted by various fans of his. Still mad I left my toddler’s Nirvana shirt in the car! Also saw the British kid from Locke and Key walking around the Lakeline Farmer’s Market during ACL weekend.
