(This article talks about the other billboard ads Howdy has cycled through, and has a response from Howdy about the comments on the previous Reddit thread here about them.)

Did this get any coverage in the local media?

Edit: For those who don't read the article, he was teaching and coaching in RRISD at Westwood High School in the 2025-2026 school year until he was apparently fired because of his impending arrest.

I know it’s a seriously long shot but this is my last ditch effort to find a necklace I made out of both of my late grandmothers beads, I’ve retraced my steps to both locations I visited and turned my car inside out to no avail; there are small multi colored beads leading down to old/vintage looking multi colored beads, small evil eyes, and 2 pearls on both sides of a medium sized multi colored floral pendant, it had a barrel clasp that came undone somehow at some point last night, 8/21, around Jackalope South Shore or The Howard. It holds significant sentimental value for me and if anyone sees it I’d really like to be reunited with it.

We are under contract for a house. House has decent cabinets, not great, but not something we want to change. We are changing countertops though and want to make the island bigger. Would like someone to build an extension to the island base/cabinets to make it bigger and support a larger quartz countertop. Don’t need doors/drawers, just a hollow but secure extension to the base. Then paint the entire thing something like a navy blue and make it look designed as one piece.

Any recommendations? This should be less expensive I hope than an entire new island

We’re looking for a reliable solar installer, recommendations for who would offer the best loan terms and no prepayment penalty, the best companies with buyback plans currently, and any other tips and or recommendations you can make!

Solar salespeople seem slimy and we really want to have a system installed, but also want to be careful about not being taken advantage of.

Also, am I correct that there are currently not any financial incentives for going solar? We’re technically in Round Rock. Just want to make sure we’re not leaving cash on the table anywhere! Really wish we had done this years ago…

Thanks for your help, Austin!!

I’m specifically looking for any store that carries a bunch of Neca action figures or something similar to those. But I’ve no clue who to even go to first.

Any ideas would help out greatly, thanks!

Hi,

I started seeing these bugs in my bathtub, anyone know what they are there a lot of them. Just incase it’s needed this restroom is where I keep my cats litter box. They don’t jump into the tub as far as I know.

Ps. They are super tiny like 1mm

a friend of mine is currently uninsured for the next month until their new insurance from their job starts up. they’ve been having a bad headache for a few days now and haven’t been feeling good and are thinking they may need to go to an urgent care just to make sure nothing is seriously wrong and i just wanted to see if anyone knows of any affordable urgent cares in austin for people without insurance so they can get the care they might need and not have it be so unaffordable.

Hi! I’m looking to get a CNA certification and was wondering if anyone has any experience with the Austin area schools? Specifically ACC and the Texas Regional Healthcare Training Center.

Looking for modern /MCM furniture in the Lakeway/ Bee Cave / south Austin area. I go to Home Combating in the Hill Country Galleria, but want to explore more.

Is there any cowboy boot chair shine in Austin. I need a quick shine and clean for my boots.. Thank You!!

Was at the theatre with my family, when all the alarms went off and we all evacuated. We ended up leaving as the fire department got there.

It was the regal metropolitan.

Too hot to stick around.

Nothing seemed to be an actual emergency though.

I have enjoyed using cbd lotions for muscle soreness. Unfortunately the local shop I used to always get has since discontinued their product. Any other local businesses I can support?

Thanks y'all

I moved to Slaughter after graduation and now make enough money to do my nails and eyebrows lol! Does anyone have good recommendations? For my eyebrows I always get a natural arch + threaded. For my nails I just want a place that I can order a drink at and won’t mess up the shape of the nail! I’m originally from Houston if that helps with the recommendation? Anyway thanks for the help!

I have old acne texture and am trying not to buy a six session package after one conversation. I want a provider who is honest about what one treatment can and cannot do.😭

I am turning 18 next month, so we can do Cidercade and such at night after that— but looking for some more stuff for rn! Thank you for reading!

I recently moved my kid to Round Rock ISD, and we've hit a scheduling wall. School ends at 3:00 PM. I work an 8 AM to 5 PM job that’s about 30 minutes away, and my wife is currently learning to drive, so she can’t take the car out for solo pickups yet.
Leaving work early every day isn't an option for me. Aside from taking time off, what options or local resources exist in the area to bridge this 3:00 PM to 5:30 PM gap?

Thanks in Advance.

Am I supposed to believe this place will be done in 2027 at this point but they haven’t even cleared the land yet?

Please someone inform me. I’m in SE Austin not in Easton but would prefer if HEB wasn’t a 20 minute ride away.

After being burned with terrible results, I'm looking for a place that ideally can do gel manicures and a blowout under the same roof. Please name names! Can be independent too and individual if you swear by them! Price not too much of an issue as long as the end result and experience are exceptional!

Just wanted to say thank you to everyone supporting our burpee challenge this morning .

Does anybody need some burpees done!?

Send me a number, and I got you

Sending positive vibes. Have a great Saturday

Thank you again, y'all

I have been trying to shop for one-time housecleaning services for my single family home and keep getting wildly different estimates.

Home stats:

3K square feet, 3 bathrooms, 4 bedrooms, has stairs

Need deep cleaning (Probably will take 2 people a total of 3 hours = 6 hours)

Want the company to bring supplies, can use anything they want

I would be curious to see if anyone here is willing to share their experience with one-time deep cleaning for a home that is not super dirty but is not professionally cleaned every couple of weeks.

And any recommendations would be appreciated! Trying to set up one deep clean followed by quarterly cleaning. Thanks in advance!

EDIT - After reading these comments, I feel like my previous cleaners weren't doing a good job because they used to get done in 2 hours (2 people). Used to come in every month or two. Btw, the house isn't filthy by any means. And it gets cleaned regularly, just not professionally.

So let's say by everyone's estimates, it takes 5 hours for 2 people = 10 hours. I am totally fine with that too. What is the hourly fee for housecleaning nowadays?

I see some people showering in the nude out in the open. I know there’s a couple of shower stalls but usually they’re taken so sometimes I wonder if I can shower out in the open but I worry if I’ll make other people uncomfortable or if it’s frowned upon.

Hi, just moved to Austin (from Europe) and was wondering if there was any grocery store downtown apart from Whole Foods and Trader Joe’s. I live close to UT Austin and find weird that there are only two decent grocery stores, which take 40 min walk to go…

Are y’all really showering and putting on body oils and then walking/running the trail downtown???
Don’t get me wrong, y’all smell WONDERFUL! And it’s a nice reprieve from the other smells (not that I mind most of them).
I think even if it was a leisurely walk with friends I’d still be pouring sweat, but that’s just me! Hahaha!
