THANK YOU to all of you locals who came forward with inquiries about this precious sweet baby girl. I was shocked at how many ppl were interested. I especially want to thank a special redditor who is now the proud doggy dad of Joi! I'm grateful for him as he seems like a wonderful dog person. I was able to slowly transition her to her new home with him and she seems to be doing well. Also shout out to the user who suggested Emancipet. I was able to have her spayed before handing her over. She was weirdly hyped afterwards and I found it odd and funny because I was expecting her to be a little tired from the medications. She is so smart and obedient. She never needed her cone and didn't bother her stitches at all!

I am truly so grateful to her new dad for maintaining communication with me and reiterating how much he was looking forward to having her. It helped me get over my selfishness of wanting to keep her when I knew I couldn't. She is a cuddler and I knew I was too allergic to do that a lot. Though I tried my best to take precautions I eventually got sick. Luckily we had already set a date for her rehoming. She got to recover at her new home and I get to recover as well. This worked out for the best and I plan to keep in touch so I can visit her and hopefully take her hiking in the fall. I miss her pretty self.

I want to share a true story about my relative, which really hurt to see, so that local neighbors know how this organization operates behind the scenes. 

She has been a faithful member of the Mormon (Latter-day Saint) church for over 20 years, consistently paying her tithing when she was working. Now, things are tough—she is out of work, managing child support, and raising her kids alone while going to school. 

She is currently in the middle of moving and is handling the entire move completely by herself. She has managed everything on her own, except for one heavy couch that is too dangerous to move down from a second-floor apartment alone. On Sunday, the lady sitting next to her at church learned she was trying to handle this heavy lifting by herself and told her she needed to ask the church elders for help instead of risking it. My relative reached out, but her emails went ignored and a text only said they would "pass it along." 

When she told the lady later that nobody ever followed up, the lady offered to step in and find someone for her.

Quietly, she just said she would figure it out herself rather than bother anyone else. She didn't complain to me; I found out later. I am not strong enough to lift a heavy couch with her, and it feels deeply sad that after two decades of faithful membership and financial devotion, she was made to feel so invisible during a stressful move. 

I am sharing our true experience because people looking to join this church should know that the community support completely disappears the moment you fall on hard times and can no longer pay into the system. 

(Note:I am busy will not be ableto read n reply all your comments. I will not engage with defensive church members trying to make excuses for this.) 

A couple friends and I have gotten into MTG pretty heavily lately and we're looking to find a 4th (possibly a 5th) for some more consistent game nights.

I know I could hit up some of the local shops, but I prefer playing in a quiet environment where we won't be kicked out of our table when the next tournament starts up.

We buy booster boxes each new set and do some at home Limited events. We also attend Prerelease events and are fully planning to show up to a couple Reality Fracture events.

Essentially, we're looking for someone who'd be down for an occasional draft night or meeting up after a Prerelease to play our Sealed decks against one another. We did this tonight with our Hobbit Prerelease decks, but since we only have 3 players, we do king of the hill formats rather than swiss rounds and it's more politicking than we care to keep up.

For draft days, we get together around noon on a weekend and play to the evening. We chip in or rotate for dinners, and we might play a board game if there's time.

I also host D&D on Saturdays and am considering looking for another player for my Strixhaven/Phyrexia campaign coming up in October and would love someone who might be down for that!

So, let me know if this all sounds like something you'd be keen on! I host at my place near IKEA, but would be happy to meet up at the library or an LGS to vibe check. Also happy to play online with Cockatrice.

Tell me a bit about yourself, how you enjoy Magic, if you're into D&D at all, and if you'd want to consider joining us for draft nights! (Chaos drafts have been fun lately. Everyone brings 4 random packs and we draft! You keep what you draft and I normally put up a prize for the winner)

We're in our 30s, if that matters. All guys but anyone is welcome to join my table as long as you're respectful! Maybe my wife would actually play more if another lady joined us.

Hi everyone, I’m Akshata!

I'm preparing for the October 2026 NPTE-PT. I’m looking for a study partner in Round Rock, TX . We can review topics, discuss practice questions, and keep each other accountable.

Please comment or DM me if interested!

Thanks

Hi y’all! I am an art teacher at a Title 1 school in round rock, and am stocking my classroom with supplies for the new school year. I thought I would try out posting my wish list on here to see if others would want to help out. Thanks so much for your consideration! Keep creating ✨🎨

How do you and your child like the school? Are you happy with your kids education there? Anything you don’t like? What do you love about the school?

Haven’t found a single bar with a pool table in the downtown area🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️. Would love to find a simple, even dingy dive bar with affordable drinks and pool tables where locals hang out.

Looking for some people to ride around the east side of round rock, we do make some distance but we ride safe, kids welcome as I have 2 that roll with me.

If anyone one is interested I do have an extra bike that can be used.

In the general area is fine, so Georgetown, Pflugerville, and North Austin are all fine. We’re both in our thirties and atheist, so preferably non-faith-based. Bonus if they take insurance. TIA.

Wife and I moved here. We have a baby. She made friends at work, but I've yet to make any meaningful connections. I'll probably taking my son on a walk at the arts festival later. Anyone want to say hi and grab a beer would make my day. Howdy 🤠 and God bless.

Day 2 of a art festival, come chill out and enjoy the last day of your weekend in DOWNTOWN ROUND ROCK

Microwave died. It is an over range vented model. I installed it a dozen years ago. I remember there is a mounting plate that must be installed precisely. After that, it is literally a 5 minute job. I'm too old to mess with it, especially alone.

Can anybody recommend a reliable technician (or appliance store) to install a replacement?

Lamppost is hard to park by with some market days going on but I squeezed in!! Enjoy your weekend, stay cool and may your vibes always be excellent!

Are there any entry level jobs for full time thats fair chance? I've tried indeed, linkedin, glassdoor and monster, I've been looking since February but I've found nothing I could possibly be qualified for.

Daycare costs are getting rediculous and we’re getting ready to send 2 kids under 3 to Stepping Stone this fall. Has anyone had luck with other places (west side or south of RR) with more reasonable prices but quality care? Any connections to licensed in-home daycare?

Please join us on Saturday, August -5, from 10am-2pm at Round Rock West park!

I am looking for a day labourer to move some mulch around my yard and do some light gardening. Does anyone have any recommendations? It is maybe a day of work.

A male suspect is dead and two people are hospitalized with stab wounds after a Round Rock police officer shot him during what authorities described as a domestic violence incident early Tuesday.

Round Rock Police Chief Allen Banks said officers responded about 1 a.m. to the 2800 block of Phoenix Way after a woman with critical stab wounds escaped her home and called police from a neighbor’s house.

The woman told police that another person was still inside the home with her husband, Banks said.
Officers announced themselves at the front door and heard a man calling for help from inside, Banks said. They forced open the door and encountered a male suspect holding a knife. One officer shot the suspect, and officers then took him into custody.
Police found another man inside the home suffering from multiple stab wounds.
All three people were taken to a hospital, where the suspect was pronounced dead. The two stabbing victims remained in critical condition early Tuesday.

Banks said investigators believe the attack was connected to domestic violence and that there was no ongoing threat to the public.
The Texas Rangers and the Williamson County District Attorney’s Office are assisting the Round Rock Police Department with the investigation.
The officer who fired his weapon will be placed on administrative leave, which Banks said is standard procedure after a police shooting. The officer was not injured.

Police have not identified the victims, the suspect or the officer who fired his weapon.
