I narced on someone today and feel good about it

• Upvotes

Big ass dog in a shopping cart being pushed into HEB as I came up. Saw an officer working as security and let him know. He nodded and said ok, thanks.

Impressively, they did something about it as I saw them carrying the big ass dog out to leave soon after. They didn’t even have a leash for this dog and this wasn’t a small size carry around doggie.

Of course I saw another smaller one in the store while shopping and as I got into the elevator to leave I saw a woman hopping out of another elevator with her leashed dog.

I felt like going back up on a mission to help end this battle of inconsiderate assholes bringing dogs in the store, but I settled for my one bounty.

Scammers pretending to Travis County Sheriffs

• Upvotes

There’s scammers calling pretending that they are Travis County Sheriff’s saying that they have a warrant for your arrest for not appearing for jury duty for federal court.
They will do their best to keep you on the line to put you under duress. Do your best to hang up and call the Travis county sheriff’s directly to confirm the information.
I almost was victim of being scammed out of $3k cash at the threat of being arrested until I texted friends to do more research while I was held hostage on my phone line.

Looking for a car wash that does interiors… not a $300 detail. Wash Guys has packages around $75-$100 & it’s pretty quick. Any recommendations?

Project Hail Mary tickets for tonight’s 7PM show

• Upvotes

Hi everyone, a while ago I bought tickets for tonight’s project Hail Mary showing at the Bullock IMAX, but due to an emergency I can no longer go. Very last minute, but I want to transfer them to someone who can make it. Not looking to make money on these, will give them away to the first person who DMs with their favorite PHM quote!

The showing is tonight at 7PM, doors at 6, you’d probably need to get in line ASAP for good seats.

Blurry quality, but i thought it was interesting as it's daytime performers rather than headliners (I'm not sure who the performers are)

Ask Austin Where can I go on Halloween with my friends without having a claustrophobic experience?

3 Upvotes

We went on Dirty 6 last year (horrible decision, I know), then tried to do 4th Street. We couldn't get in anywhere... We tried for maybe 3 hours.

Not trying to have this experience again. We're in our early 30s and the spooky part of Halloween is now the drunk early 20-year-olds. However, we still want to have fun and pretend we still have it in us for one night. What are our realistic options to have a good time?

Ask Austin What is with all the negativity surrounding major events in Austin?

0 Upvotes

I get that various aspects can always be improved and feedback is important, but Austin you are privileged to have these events in your backyard. The boosts to the local economy for the inconvenience of extra traffic for a few weekends seems like a no brainer to me.
BE GLAD YOU ARE NOT HOUSTON! Literally nothing of note outside of the Rodeo anymore.

Ask Austin Doctors allowing shadowing in Austin!!

0 Upvotes

Hello! I’m a senior undergraduate Human Biology major at UT Austin looking for shadowing or clinical experience opportunities in the Austin area. I’m interested in surgery, but I’d be grateful for an opportunity in any specialty or clinical setting.
I’ve reached out to several doctors by email but haven’t had much luck. If you know a physician who allows students to shadow or have any advice on finding opportunities, please send me a DM or leave a comment. Thank you!

Programs to have someone visit with a senior

31 Upvotes

Does anyone have a good recommendation for a program/service that will match a volunteer with a senior who is just looking for some company? I know someone who would like someone to come by once or twice a week to chat, play a game or do a puzzle, maybe occasionally help with a bit of meal prep or run light errands.

She has arthritis and cancer and is sometimes a bit tired but is otherwise very capable - just isolated. I think more than anything she’s just trying not to be alone as much now that she is doing the cancer treatment, which she just began last week. Not looking for healthcare services.

I’ve found familyeldercare.org and driveasenior.org but wanted to see if anyone had any other recs. Or if anyone has used those services and has any feedback on them.
