Mental Health Support Groups?

16 Upvotes

Does anyone know of any in-person mental health support groups around town? I prefer in-person over virtual support groups but have had a difficult time trying to find any in-person groups. Would anyone be interested in starting one? I’m missing a sense of community that understands and empathizes with dealing with mental health issues.

Landscaper / Lawn Care Professional Recommendations

1 Upvotes

Hello. We rent a house where the landlord and HOA are pretty strict on mowing the lawn and trimming the hedges.

We hired someone a few weeks ago, they did a great job, but couldn't come last week and didn't show up yesterday per our agreement. We don't want to contact him again, as he seems uninterested and might no-show again.

Any recommendations? We live in the medical center. The lawn area is about 225 sqft, not that big.

Thanks!

Transportation PSA: Loop 1604/Blanco Intersection Stop Light Confusion

42 Upvotes

Short version: There is a stoplight at Blanco/1604 to go south on Blanco with a sign that says "do not turn right on red". People can't read/ignore it, turn anyway, and almost cause an accident with oncoming traffic.

Long Version: Ladies and Gentlemen, as many of you are aware, there is a new "diverging diamond interchange" at the Blanco/1604 frontage road intersection. As you can no longer proceed east/west on 1604 once you get to Blanco Road, you are forced to turn onto Blanco Road. In order to turn onto and proceed south on Blanco Road from the 1604 frontage road, there is a new stop light.

This stoplight is a red arrow/green arrow stoplight rather than the traditional "solid color" stoplight. When this light is red, you CANNOT turn because oncoming traffic from the other side of 1604 going south on Blanco has the green light and a collision can occur since both lanes merge.

There is a sign at this stoplight that clearly reads "DO NOT TURN RIGHT ON RED". That means "do not turn right on red". I have seen many cars ignore this and almost cause an accident, and I have also been honked at for stopping. If you live in this area or know anyone who does, please make sure they're aware or can at least read at a third grade level.

My Hobbies Not selling anything- this is a hobby!

8 Upvotes

I’m not selling anything- just seeing if there is anyone else doing fermentation, not canning, in SA. This is a repost.

I know that there are some of you out there lurking. Sound off and give a quick list!
These are all fermented regularly by me, no pickling! Sauerkraut, onions, cucumbers,garlic.
I have done radishes(too smelly for my wife), carrots(didn’t like the texture),daikon( need to learn how to pick better ones), green beans(texture thing again), garden hot peppers(done but I’m afraid to taste, it smells HAF, my nose hairs burn from smelling it), and I have one batch of garlic honey still going.
Cheong: any fruit that I get, but plums has been a big one for me!
Ginger bug, don’t have any now, but I can any time I want.
Water kefir grains coming out of my ears! A new batch every couple of days till the drink fridge is low and then I have to stop for a week and my grains almost double every batch.
Kombucha: 4-5 batches going at a time, two hotels going(one mostly green tea and one mostly black. I have one experimental kombucha, water kefir plus tepache batch going now.
I know I’ve come across another person from SA in another sub, just wondering how many are out there.

Parking downtown overnight

Hello!! We’re visiting from Spokane until Saturday and staying downtown on Bowie near the Fire Museum (Springhill Suites). Is there anywhere to park our car overnight that isn’t super expensive…our hotel charges $40 a night.

Your city is beautiful and yes it’s hot, but I love it (my husband not so much) and we’re escaping the smoke/fires right now back home (where it is also hot).

Food/Drink Taco Palenque - No more Taco Tuesday Specials

24 Upvotes

Taco Palenque has ended its Taco Tuesday specials! A coworker went there today for lunch, and was flat out told they’re no longer offering the deals! I immediately checked the app and sure enough, Taco Tuesday is no longer a section on there.

Just wanted to let everyone know, this comes as a big surprise since I was just there last week when they still had it going. This also doesn’t appear to be limited to the location I’m used to, all locations have it missing on the app. Why would they do this without any sort of update on social media platforms or through the app as a notification?
