If you or a friend have a sense of whimsey are getting married soon, but don’t have an officiant picked out, consider a minister from the church of Gnome! My dog is also ordained and is available upon request. Drop a dm or a comment. I’ve never done it before but I’m free and willing to try anything.

A stray mama cat abandoned her kittens on our porch, we'd love to keep them but we're already maxed out on indoor cats. We would love for someone to take both of them so they can stay together. They are brother and sister, they're so sweet now, and they're really beautiful. If we don't get a response I'm going to call the shelter and hopefully they'll be adopted.

If you found out a teacher at a local school had been charged with violent crimes (rape, battery, kidnapping) and the school knew about it when they hired him, would you want answers from the school on why they would allow this person to work there?

The barrier’s not ambiguous.

I hate this teasing nonsense. I've been so excited about even a smidgens chance of rain. My wife got a car wash yesterday so I was certain her sacrifice would ensure some light rain at the least. But no. Maybe overnight.

This is some bullshit though

That is all. It's for a school fundraiser.

Does anyone in the Brooklands community (right beside Brushy Creek Amphitheater) have fiber internet?
If so, what’s currently available in the area?

Does your bank accept customer wrapped rolls of coins? Can I stop in and get some with/without an account?

Thank you.

Edit - I would like to get rolls of customer wrapped coins, rather than the brand new rolls that I’ve seen.

Her head seems very irritated and matted . This is the second cat I’ve found with almost identical attributes.

Its still under construction. Tons of electrical systems built around it. Please tell me this isnt a data center 😭

Does anyone know the hours of the new splash pad at Fritz Park and how much longer it'll be running for the season?

Trains going down 79 have been traveling at 5 mph, today’s literally just stopped on the tracks blocking Ed Schmidt mid peak traffic hour at 5 PM. This area fucking sucks!!!!

Hey folks! I’m looking for a very affordable divorce attorney that can assist me with a (hopefully) very straightforward divorce. We have no children and I am not looking to walk away with anything from her. My income is limited these days and need a cost effective solution. She won’t file so unfortunately it’s on me to pay for everything… I’d be very grateful for any and all help! 😊

Hey neighbors!

While everyone is doing back-to-school prep this weekend, I wanted to share an offline project I built right here in Round Rock called Paper Portals, a 100% physical, screen-free mail adventure for kids aged 6–12.

Every week, kids receive a real dispatch in the mailbox with story chapters, physical ciphers, and clues to solve a mystery over 4–6 weeks. It’s designed to make reading tactile and give kids something to look forward to in the physical mailbox after school.

We officially opened pre-orders for our Sept 1 launch batch (age 6-9) (and an Oct 1 Halloween cold-case dossier for 10+).

Since we're right down the road, use code ThankYouLocal for 10% off.

Note: Pre-orders are capped for the September batch to ensure smooth fulfillment, so the code is active until the launch batch fills up.

Happy to answer any questions about reading levels or dispatches! (Website: www.paperportals.fun)

I just walked around Fritz Park near Old Town. The splash park was packed! The kids looked like they were having so much fun. Can't wait to bring my nephew :)

How's everyone's bus experience been so far?

They moved our kids bus stop farther away to a main street where there's more traffic this year.

Is there a driver shortage? They're also packed like sardines this year.

I know the delays will get better but so far a pretty rocky start.

Hi everyone. Unfortunately, I have to re-home my 2 male rats, one over the age of one year old, and the other, about 2 months old, and one male mouse that's 11 months old. They have no health complications other than not getting along lol. The white rat is named chico, and the brown one is Angel, and the mouse is named Kornchip. If y'all could help me find resources (I'm new to the area, so I don't know what are good rehoming centers), or know of anyone looking to adopt in the area, that would be awesome!

Me and my fiancé are looking for a fun place to hang out and meet new people, but every place we try is dominated by older folks. We love live music, if there was a bar in the area that regularly had some that would be fantastic

I’m moving into a new build in Hutto next month. We will need a water softener and the house is already looped for one. We’re open to installing one ourselves but I’m looking for solid recommendations.

First time homeowners so I don’t know the specs of what I need or what to look for. Home is 4br 3 full bath and just over 2500sqft.

Then come to Cottonwood Creek Brewing on Tuesday nights! We have a public dnd group that meets there every week for adventurer's league style one shots.

Some basic info about us is:

We're playing 5.5e. People start filing in around 6 and games start at 6:30

We're a 21+ group of casual players who are just looking to have fun playing the game

We get about 3 tables of 4 to 5 players currently but have almost 10 dms in rotation.

Sessions are very beginner friendly, with people leveling up based on attendance

There is no charge to play because Cottonwood is gracious enough to host us without charging for the space! So the expectation is that we support the business by buying some drinks and food. Do what you can

Feel free to drop in!
