Final writers group update

Since my form is still getting responses, I have decided to keep it up. Now this is the final warning for my writers group form that's going to close on the last day of January, there are 17 responses so far. Let me know if you have any questions, also, although I joined another group, I am still going to form this one, as we need more groups, lol. (Also the other one has different days so we won't conflict) https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdBnTPouzTj5_HJW2LNmdJYHZaAhdyxQCxgf58B6pazZprKfw/viewform?usp=sharing

Centex Home Issues (Sunfield)

Hi! I just recently bought my first home in Sunfield with centex homes. I had some issues with my drier breaker, and they also had my sign a landscaping agreement where all landscaping issues are my problem. I also have some cracks in between the ceiling/wall. I have called the customer service for the breaker and they fixed it right away. Has anyone had any issues that I may need to keep any eye out for?

I'm sure all of these homes have some sort of issues and wanted to see what others may have experienced.

Thanks so much!!!

The Mighty Orq at Meridian

The Mighty Orq at Meridian Friday evening.

The Mighty Orq is so many things. He is bayou blues in a suit and tie. He’s gritty folk storytelling, unfurling from under an open road Stetson. He’s swampy juke joint fun, mischievous and free. He is classical virtuosity, improvised on a cigar box guitar. He is growling rock-and-roll. Critics and audiences have known and loved the Houston-based Orq for decades now. His fanbase is loyal, international, and always growing, thanks not just to his albums, but to consistent touring throughout the US and Europe. On his 9th album Stolen, Orq proves his wild exploration of roots music remains a gift to the rest of us. - Elisabeth C. Parks

Apartment and/or landlord recommendations?

Looking to see if anyone has decent recommendations of any places in Buda. It’s so hard to really judge apartment complexes and rental companies/landlords, so wondering if anyone has had some good experiences.

Looking for 2b/2b would like to stay around 1800 and below

Main concern is bug issues, paper thin walls, theft, mold/water leaks

Budafest

I get its Christmas but jesus the weather is just miserable with the downpour and freezing, then cherry on top closing down mainstreet. I nearly ran off the road trying to drive behind the church because I couldn’t see anything through the rain. I guess we couldn’t have delayed it because of all the vendors but every one seems cranky

Hays County Writers Group

Hi. I had an idea to create a Writer's Group for people in Kyle and the greater Hays County area. (I know the Kyle Public Library has a Writers Group, but due to it conflicting with my schedule, I am unable to attend, so I decided to make my own, after looking around on the Internet only to find no other Writer's Groups.)

I made this post to see if other people are interested, because I am a writer myself and I want to make friends and connect with other writers in the community, and if enough people are interested, a convenient date and time to meet could be decided upon. (This idea was not made to compete with the KPL's Writers Group.) Below is a Google Form to get information and feedback from those interested in my writing group idea, so the first meeting can be planned. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask me. (Also one submission per person, please.)

Thanksgiving joke URGENT help - Buda

I live in Onion Creek Meadows right by Buda, TX. I live there with my wife, 12yo son, mother + father in law. And my brother in law and his wife are visiting. Everyone is pretty evenly split politically and it was a tense election... BUT everyone has a good sense of humor. I want someone with an American flag shirt and a MAGA hat and a case of beer to come over on Thanksgiving (morning, noon, night - at your convenience) and I will introduce you as my uncle and it will shock the fam, and we can do some funny shit briefly before we reveal it as a prank. I don't have money - but I will owe you one prank on your friend's or family. On my honor. If you like humor and love america, and can straight-face things enough to make my mother in law and sister in law tense and then make them laugh their butts off - you're my guy. Come on dude. This will be great - then we'll be buds! DANG it, I wish I would have thought of this earlier. Anyway, I would use an existing friend but it has to be someone they don't know. Anyway I get off work at 2:30 in south Austin on Menchaca, and can meet. Let's goooooo!

Best Internet providers?

I’ve had it with AT&T fiber. Way too many issues, we’re paying for the highest package available and it still doesn’t reach all devices in the house. Not to mention the amount of outages for no apparent reason.

What are the best providers in the area? For context, my husband and I both work from home and are on video calls all day. There are also about 5 smart devices in the home but it shouldn’t be too much for a basic internet provider to support. Any guidance here would be appreciated.

What's y'alls take on Prop A? For or Against?

It seems environmentally focused groups are worried the bond project was rushed and not enough due diligence done on environmental impact, especially as it related to the aquifer. The county leaders say they want to push it now to have max voter engagement on a presidential ballot. I'm usually pretty positive on bond measures, but I don't like that this one seems to be road focused only and the concerns raised by the local groups. Just curious to hear others thoughts.

Moving to Sunfield - Looking for Gym Recommendations/Buddies

Hey everyone! I’m moving to Sunfield in Buda, TX next month and I’m on the lookout for some good gym recommendations. I usually go to LA Fitness and prefer a traditional gym with solid equipment—not into CrossFit or anything too fancy. Also, if anyone is looking for a workout buddy, feel free to hit me up! Would love to get to know some people in the area.

Thanks in advance for any tips!
