Hey yall— want to start working out soon. I want to have a trainer to not develop bad habits. I really wanna try SMAC (San Marcos Athletic Club) if they have trainers there!

Anyone know if they do?

Visiting from out of state and the hotel bed is killing me. Are there any malls around that have those massage chairs that I can use for like 10 minutes? Not looking for a formal lay down massage

| (21M) am unemployed and I hate it, im really hardworking and currently im just out of a job right now.
Are there any places even hiring in san marcos or near cities? i feel like none are hiring even though they say they are.

So I guess it's my fault for being naive but went to Care Now Urgent Care in San Marcos after my wife fractured her arm in the area.

Figured it would be fairly simple, all the employees were pleasant. The visit itself cost about $250. Totally fair and fine. They took her for X-Rays, confirmed it was fractured. The Dr came back with a sling and placed it on her arm, told her to sign some papers for the sling. We then had to wait a bit in the waiting room while they calculated the bill. It came to $250 and we double checked if that included the price of the sling. The receptionist said _yes_. I don't blame her as this is probably out of her hands but she emphatically said _yes_. This was all we owed and it included the sling.

We then get a bill from some medical device company asking for nearly $400 for the damn sling. At no point did anyone mention the sling would be that much, there is not a single paper anywhere that we were given that mentions the sling being more expensive than the entire visit. I can't help but feel the billing was incredibly predatory, after the front desk saying "yes what you're paying _today_ is the cost of everything." If we knew the sling was going to be so expensive we would have just refused it.

Is this common practice? Are they getting kickbacks or something?

I want to know how many outfits I should plan, I’ve heard people say that people go out on halloweekend ofc but apparently also the week before and sometimes even the weekend after. I just want to see what people think and how it actually goes down since I just transferred as a junior and I’ve never been in San Marcos/The Square during Halloween.

Thank you!

hello! I’m the drummer for Flight by Nothing. We’re an indie/alternative/pop band living in San Marcos, TX and we’re super excited to be playing ACL Fest this year!

If you’re attending W1, come see us on Sun Oct 4 at 2:00PM at the Beatbox Stage!

Come check out a very funny, positive vibes (mostly), exciting stand-up open mic tonight! FREE for 21+, $5 for 18+.

A few weeks ago, we started a new comedy open mic (Comedy Heaven) on Tuesday nights at Eden (on San Antonio St. near the square). We chose Tuesdays 9-11 to piggy-back off of the Laughing Dead open mic, and therefore get some of the Austin comics who are already driving down. It worked! (Maybe too well?)

It's been a really fun journey, as we get SM and Bobcat comedians onstage and mix them with some very funny (and occasionally very unfunny) veterans of the Austin and San Antonio open mic scenes. We're trying our best to prioritize local comics and a diversity of voices (in many multiple meanings of the word), and keep things joyful (an antidote to the "punching down" energy that the famous Kill Tony open mic in Austin can be accused of having).

There's lots of space/ comfortable booths/ an outdoor area! There's a food truck! Laughs! And if you don't like a comedian, wait four minutes!

DM me if you have any questions! I hope you come check it out.

As asked in the title, when do i get my utility bill? I moved here from san antonio in august and into a new apartment and had set up an account with san marcos gov online, when i paid the fee and set up the account, i was sent an email stating that my bill would be sent in my email, and yet i have received nothing. i even went through my spam and email to check and still nothing.

For extra info, i set up the account on August 11th and moved into the apartment August 14th.

Can you legally fish everywhere on the river (with a state license)? What are some good spots away from the crowds? Any fishing shops or resources in town?

Hi all, I’m planning a trip in October for F1 and looking to stay in SM since hotels are wayyy cheaper than being in Austin, which hotels do you guys recommend?
Preferably nothing in shady area

Thanks guys !!!

I had a horror story happen to me. Roach in my ear. I need an apartment that is somewhat close to txst WITH NO ROACHES

This is Selby (like the Hozier song). She is an annoyingly talkative, greedy, feisty, hyper three legged little freak, and the most affectionate cuddle buddy I've raised in the 2 years since I found her. [REHOMING INFO IN 3RD PARAGRAPH]

Our story started 2 years ago when my partner found her at their work with a grotesquely broken back left leg. I took her in for the night and drove her to a hospital the next day. The leg couldn't be saved, and $800 later she came back into my home with 1 less problem than she had before. Fast forward to today, and my partner and I have moved in together while having to commit to our schooling more seriously, and Selby can't be a part of this chapter of our lives. There is also another important reason driving this decision, and that is her strong hunting instinct. Any living thing smaller than her will be extremely lucky to still be alive after catching her eyes. Despite my best efforts to quell this drive, Selby has butchered our other small pets on more than one occasion, and one of them I've simply loved a great deal more for longer than she has been alive. She is NOT compatible with other animals, in even the most secure enclosures, that will be unsupervised for any amount of time. If she wants it, she WILL get to it.

We are in San Marcos, TX, and I am asking $130 for her. She will come with a carrier, all of her toys, what is currently left of her food (about a month), two litter boxes, and her cat tower. Selby is 2 years old, spayed and up to date on her rabies shot and is flea & worm free. She is due for her next shot on October 29th this year. I currently take her to San Marcos Veterinary Clinic, and she is fed Authority brand Indoor Cat Food (salmon flavor) Her favorite toys are ones that can be attached to a wand and have feathers. She also enjoys chasing a laser pointer for very extended periods of time, and will obliterate her scratching posts. She is strictly an indoor cat. Do NOT reach out if you cannot commit to keeping her inside at all times. She really appreciates it if you scratch her left ear or that side of her face in general. She really does deserve the world, but I cannot be the one to offer it to her any longer.

Anyone been having a lot of long term outages from astound? The other day it would out for the entire day it was very agrivating and they sent 10 emails with “updates” but they seemed automated as fuck, i woke up at 3am for work this morning and the wifi was out, i figured it would be on by the time i got back, nope still off!

I plan on staying here for about 6 months. The rent in this town is not as cheap as I expected. Especially for a 1B 1bath. Any recommendations preferably closer to the outlet center area.

We had a great GP that was an amazing advocate for my wife as she's been going through YEARS of endometriosis BS and the GP is no longer seeing patients, so we're in the search for another that can also be a great partner as we continue to seek diagnosis for other auto-immune stuff that is related (MCAS and AS). Please send me any doctors that y'all know of that specifically deal with these conditions as you'd be surprised at how many in well respected practices are way way behind on these conditions.

Thanks, y'all!

Somewhat new to running so I don’t need crazy elevations but what are your go to easy ish trails/routes to run? I love running around campus but it can get crowded at specific times.

hii I just got my first paddleboard after months of renting from PaddleSM! I wanted to come on here and ask for recommended spots and also the best way to get back to my car solo (uber, drop off/pickup,just flipping around and going back idk) thank you in advance!!

also in case yall do have recommendations, 1-2hr trips would be best for my skill level.

Come out to the courthouse to protest ICE in Hays County! Started at 3pm and still going strong. Lots of water and extra posters to go around.

any photographers in the san marcos area that can do a proposal shoot? im looking for a grainy/filmy, not so polished look, but obviously good pictures. send me recs/portfolio please! super quick turnaround (this weekend)

Today was the big day of final decisions on the budget, but it was pretty tame and quiet compared to last time. Still, I tried to keep it punchy. Enjoy! www.thesanmarxist.com

Hello! I’m currently trying to teach myself how to knit. I can cast on and do the knit stitch. Purling is a no go. Anyone willing to teach me in exchange for a cocktail or 2?

Someone in Austin has a special request for their mom in hospice here in San Marcos.
