Ok places to drive fast

I’m new to the area, looking for fun and safe areas to drive a muscle car and have some fun respectfully enough.

Also what’s realistic with what you can get away with, with only a ticket and not going to jail?

Not into urban areas, takeovers, being a dumbass but do like beating on my car and going fast…

Just trying really to go fast from 0-80 to 90

Jobs

Hello, I’ve been trying for the past two months to try to get a job, most places either don’t look at your application, or you don’t even get an interview. I’m trying really hard to get a job again. But it’s been difficult and I need advice.

Did someone return a dresser to IKEA this morning using a chopper?

Anyone else see the chopper that airlifted something to IKEA's parking lot this morning? I think it was around 9:20am. Couldn't really figure out what was tethered to it, and if the chopper actually landed, but it was hovering about as low as the top floor of the parking garage.

To the honest person at HEB on University this morning

Thank you so much for turning my phone in!

I usually use the smaller shopping cart, as I curb side most of my stuff. This morning I picked up one of their mum bushes and it took up the whole cart, so I switched my stuff over to a bigger cart and went about my morning. Checking out the other plants, watching the helicopter... then I went to grab my phone. It was not there and total panic set in. I thought, surely noone has lifted my phone when I wasn't paying attention... but where was it?!? I realized I must have left it in the little phone holder of the smaller cart and hustled back over to where I left the cart.

No Cart, No Phone.

Banged one the curbside doors to ask if they had seen it and they told me to check with customer service. The whole way there, I'm thinking about all the information on my phone. Passwords, payments, accounts, photos of my kiddos... all of it could be gone.

But no.... no it wasn't. And it wasn't, because whoever you are - you are honest. Thank you for making this world a better place, and thank you for turning my phone in.

xoxo

Birthday Dinner

Does anyone know a good restaurant for a birthday dinner in or near Round Rock? It would be for about 15 people max (including a few kids). Not looking for anything too fancy (we’re considering Chuy’s, but they don’t take reservations). Thanks in advance!

Bulk Trash & Brush Pickup Question

I received this card a few weeks ago about bulk trash and brush pickup in my area. I am confused because, on one side of the card, it says that the event will take place on October 5th @ 7 am but the flip side says that my neighborhood clean up is on September 28th @ 8 am.

Did I miss the event or will they pick up bulk trash & brush in my area until Oct. 5th? Can anyone please shed some light on this and clear up my confusion? Thanks, neighbors!

Round Rock is stepping up its Sushi offerings!

Just came back from A Go Go Sushi & Ramen and we were impressed with our meals. I had the Eel tempura (sans cream cheese) and the Monster roll; spouse ordered the Spider Roll and the Alaska Roll.

Both came on decorated plates with a dry ice vessel and twinkling lights. Presentation was whimsical and pretty. The rolls were of really good size, perfect rice, and nice pieces of fish. Sauces were outstanding.

Between Sushi Yume and A Go Go Sushi & Ramen, Iron Fish in Pflugerville had better up its game.

Problems after AT&T did work on the wires outside

Hello, today while I was asleep apparently AT&T installed a. Fiber? Wire? Or something, I don't know, wasn't awake and I'm also not very smart when it comes to stuff like that. Either way ever since they left our roku has been freaking out, ( pausing for minutes at a time and distorting the audio on things we were watching. I swear I thought my grandma was watching Venom in Spanish from how deep the warping made the person speaking.) Our internet has been sucky overall as well and I was wondering if anyone else is having this problem.

Dental recommendations

Looking for a dentist who possibly takes my insurance (UNUM) or has some kind of in house payment options would be ideal. I had a bad experience with a root canal at the last place I went earlier this year that I found on my insurance providers website. Also a huge bonus if they work well with patients with severe (it was just moderate before the last visit 🤦🏼‍♀️) dental anxiety. I would rather a well reputed office that is non-judgmental and kind while I am trying not to freak out than one that takes my insurance.

Entrepreneurial, real estate meet ups

Hey everyone! Anyone have rec's for meet ups in real estate and/or general entrepreneurship? I'm newer to the Round Rock area and it would be sweet to connect with people who have their own businesses.

Also if anyone wants to connect here and talk I'd love to! I've worked on a few businesses including ecommerce and wholesaling real estate but ended up pausing due to my 9-5 work and life events slowing me down. Made some money in these ventures but nothing consistent. I bought my first house last summer and been renovating it, looking into buying my 2nd soon. Now I'm looking to get back into starting another business but would love to with a partner. I have solid knowledge of ecommerce, wholesaling, running FB ads, texting campaigns, some minor video editing and ad creation experience, and web development (my profession). I want to do it right this time and I believe having a partner to hold each other accountable and collaborate would help this journey. Doesn't even have to result in us teaming up but being able to bounce ideas off each other would be an awesome start.

Child Custody Attorney

Hi, can someone please provide me with an attorney who is experienced in child custody hearings in Williamson County?

My employee really needs help. Her current attorney is not reliable, among other things. I have referred her to file a complaint with the Texas Bar Association.

She’s a single mother of two little girls. Her ex does not have a job, but has a girlfriend who is financially independent and assisting him. He is taking her to court for full custody.

Any help would be great! I’m not from the area and I have already referred her to Texas Legal Aid and the UT Law department.

Thank you in advance!!

Recommended places to fix a gas powered pressure washer?

It doesn't start anymore. Replaced the gas, If I spray some carb cleaner on the filter it might kick on for a few seconds on the first pull but then putters out.

Dealing with neighbor's LOUD motorcycle

I work from home and a neighbor has a motorcycle that is extremely loud and he goes by my house several times a day; they even drive it by sometimes at night.

What can I do about this? What are the ordinances concerning noise in RR?

Update: Geez, I didn't think there'd be so many assholes on this sub, telling me to move, get thicker walls/glass. I think I'm gonna talk to him and tell him to drive by YOUR HOUSES.

Unbelievable

Yesterday evening I went to the Walgreens at Hesters Crossing and 35 to get a prescription. As I'm walking in there is a woman talking on her phone with 2 children. She was placing one in the seat basket and the other standing by. I'm walking to the desk and the nightmare starts. She stood her other child in the basket and the kid freaks. Starts screaming in Spanish and so loud and distorted I couldn't understand her. Pharmacy tells me just another 10 mins. until ready, NP, except this kid. The whole time I'm there waiting this kid is screaming, seriously, actually fucking screaming at the top of her lungs while mom is casually walking around the store on her phone doing nothing to placate this kid. I'm not kidding, the kid in the seat was calm, mom on phone, and the other just fucking screaming. I ended up walking out and going to the drive thru.
