r/RoundRock

Hey everyone, I am moving to Round Rock in a few weeks and am starting to look at gyms. I am a 50 year old man who is in excellent shape. The gym is a major part of my routine and I am there mornings, 6 days a week.

Currently I'm going to a PF and I'm not interested in going to another one.

Besides strength training and cardio I'd be interested in a sauna, cold plunge, tanning, and other amenities.

Being a morning person 24-7 or open early is a necessity.

Thanks!

I’m 48, single, and flying solo this Friday. I’m tired of doing the same old thing, so I’m looking to get out, try something different, and push myself out of my comfort zone a little.

I’m pretty chill, open-minded, and down for almost anything—live music, dancing, a cool bar, some random event I’d never normally go to… whatever.

Currently working my way out of my socially awkward era 😂 so bonus points for something where it’s easy to meet people.

What should I get into Friday night?

GFiber just came to our neighborhood and we're set up for installation next week! We've been waiting for this for years -- but will it be as good as we hope it to be? I just heard that they are being sold to private equity and the general sentiment around that is bad...

What have recent experiences been like? Are speeds consistently as fast as promised? Do you suffer any outages? What is the final bill price like for Core 1 Gig?

Right now we're with AT&T Fiber with down speeds around 300-400 mbps and up speeds around 100-150. Bill is $95/mo.

Thanks!

Live in an apartment that is in direct sunlight and like the taste of charcoal, but don’t want to be outside. Thinking of buying a grill but don’t want it on the patio

My Reddit flagged me for “Spam” in the guy who asked about charcoal.

You guys talked me out of it. I bought a George Foreman grill online instead.

Got a used one on eBay for $15

We had our baby last week and initially I didn’t want a newborn photography session. I thought I’d be happy with a family session at 8-12 weeks. Of course in all the postpartum emotions I’m absolutely full of regret for that decision. Does anyone have photographer recommendations for me to reach out and see if they may have last minute availability? I’m overwhelmed with the idea of just blanket contacting photographers but I’m going to start doing that. Budget is flexible.

Just got laid off my electrician job and trying to seek another job in blue collar or a good paying gig.
Any recommendations??

Is anyone going to go see Buddy when it comes out? I want to go watch it but I never went to the theatres alone before so if anyone else has this movie planned we can watch it together

I’m tired of Baylor Scott charging $336 for lab fees that insurance will NOT cover every time I need labs done. $720 out of pocket for an OBGYN appointment and a blood draw is ridiculous. They use to only charge this at the main Round Rock hospital location so I avoided going there but now looks like they are charging this fee at their smaller clinics too.

Anywhere else that won’t charge this ridiculous out of pocket fee? I have BCBS PPO plan. Thanks!

I stayed at hope alliance round rock and the staff was nice at first but the head of the shelter was not taking care of problems people were requesting about what they offered: 1 on 1 counseling or helping get onto ssi or getting your social security card ect. Ect. But the staff blow off alot of the stuff you ask for or don't do what they said the head staff had let an older racist lady in the shelter who kept targeting white people telling them to keep their white ass hands off the community food. Whilst also putting all the white people down she had been written up 8 times and they have a 3 strike policy. She has threatened me and some of the kids I was watching we were cooking and she threatened to kill all of us infront of the camera but when I told staff no disciplinary action was taken. They let her steal food from everyone.

They exited me when I was not able to get an appointment at social security office to get my social security card. I had an appointment but the head staff told the transportation advocate not to take me. Then I was trying to get an appointment for a week straight and had no way to get there. Then they came to me about a day later from finding out that I was not able to get an appointment and they kicked me out.

They also block everything on their wifi. You can't contact family on Facebook, messenger etc. Ect. And when asked about it they say that the head staff did it. When asked if they could get wifi extenders for the people who could not access it they just said no.

My overall experience there was not very good I graduated high-school there I had been dealing with homelessness for over 6 months and they kicked me out on such short notice.

My dog and I were attacked by a group of 5 mutts being walked by a bald guy in his 50's this morning on the trail right below Urban, she got 2 serious gashes on her side but is otherwise unharmed. At the vet getting her taken care of but he took off running with them east down the trail after realizing i called the cops. I did not think to try to get a picture, but he was mid 50' bald and tall, skinnyish maybe 6' 1"-6' 2" and like 180ish.

Hi everyone! I’m relocating to Round Rock soon and need to set up electricity for my new place.

For those who live in the area, which electric company/provider have you had the best experience with?

I’d especially love to hear about rates, customer service, billing, and any hidden fees or issues to watch out for.

Are there any providers you’d strongly recommend, or ones you’d avoid?

Thanks in advance for helping a newcomer out!

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.) 

As a part of my research, I’m looking to get response from the public around the general trends from the community.

How has the recent economic concerns impacted your dining habits?

A few pointers to gauge the sentiment:

1. Eating out V/S ordering in
2. Eating at Fast food V/S a dine-in restaurant
3. Increase/Decrease in the frequency of eating out

Looking to get some insights from our community

TIA
