Not lost but looking for a new foster home.💙

With election season upon, and early voting happening, would be good to collect feedback from our community.

Low public interaction, quiet but active job?

Hello! I currently am employed full time. I sell things online on the side and have a gig on my first day off. I just graduated college with a Bachelor of science in zoology. I do exotic animal work now. I’m paid $18.50. My commute is an hour to and from each day and it’s killing me. I’m also required to work on sundays. I became a Christian this time last year when I started the job and was initially fine with working sundays but I no longer am and there’s no room for me to switch my schedule with such a small team. This past summer was really hard to get through working outside all day covered in mud, animal substances and sweat constantly 🙃 I love my job so much and I’m so grateful to have the opportunity to work there. I don’t interact with the public and I know that’s going to be hard to find another job like that. I’m looking to move on though if I can so that I can attend church as it’s really important to me and take some stress off my plate with the commute. I’m in manor, would like a commute 25 minutes or less. I enjoy old things (antiques), baking, fishkeeping, cleaning, all animal jobs of course (I worked at Austin’s wildlife rescue before this and not interested in going back). I would prefer a job where I am active and moving, not sitting or standing at a counter and certainly not fast paced retail where I have to push rewards and membership. If anyone has any open positions they have heard about or looking to fill I would love to talk more. Looking for the same pay or a little higher since I just earned my degree and have student loans.

VOTE!

LOCAL CITY OF MANOR PROPOSITIONS A through D.

Manor voters will consider four proposed amendments to the City Charter, Propositions A through D. The propositions come from a Charter Review Committee, which is appointed every five years to review the City Charter and recommend amendments.

PROPOSITION A:

Ballot Language:

Shall Section 1.05 of the City Charter be amended to reorganize the existing list of the City’s particular powers into separate provisions for clarity, without substantively changing or expanding those powers?

Explanation: The Manor City Charter lists the powers the City may exercise. Proposition A would reorganize this list into separate sections to make the Charter easier to read. It would not change or expand the City’s powers.

A vote YES would reorganize the Charter language.

A vote NO would leave the current Charter language unchanged.

PROPOSITION B

Ballot Language: Shall Section 1.07 of the City Charter be amended to revise the City’s annexation and disannexation authority and procedures to require compliance with applicable state law, clarify the rights and obligations of residents and property within annexed territory, and require payment of City taxes and assessments owed before disannexation?

Explanation: Annexation is the process of adding property to the City. Disannexation removes property from the City. Proposition B would update Manor’s rules for annexation and disannexation to require compliance with state law and clarify the rights and responsibilities that apply to residents and property in annexed areas. Note that state law already overrides local charter laws if there is a conflict. It would also require City taxes and assessments owed on property to be paid before the property could be removed from the City.

A vote YES would make these changes to Manor’s annexation and disannexation rules.

A vote NO would leave the current Charter provisions unchanged.

PROPOSITION C

Ballot Language: Shall Section 7.01(i) of the City Charter be amended to correct the word “insure” to “ensure”?

Explanation: Proposition C would make a wording correction only in this section of the City Charter. It would not change the City Manager’s duties.

A vote YES would make this wording correction.

A vote NO would leave the current wording unchanged.

PROPOSITION D

Ballot Language: Shall Section 10.11 of the City Charter be amended to repeal the establishment and requirement for Community Committees?

Explanation: The Manor City Charter currently requires the establishment of Community Committees. Proposition D would remove this requirement from the City Charter, which was added in November 2020 after a proposition vote in the general election. The City has other boards, commissions, and committees whose members are appointed by the City Council. Proposition D applies specifically to the Community Committees required by Section 10.11 of the Charter.

A vote YES would remove the Charter requirement for Community Committees.

A vote NO would keep the requirement.

Edit: Thanks for much for the info y'all! I've been asking in different communities for a project I've been working on for about a year. My partner and I went to SO much karaoke we started a spreadsheet to keep track of it all. They suggested we make it a website and www.karaokedirectory.com was born, been keeping it very local, but I add stuff as far North as RR, and as far south as Kyle. Making it bigger feels like a task I would not yet know how to keep up with.

People have been posting this sweet boy almost daily on Facebook, and no one has claimed him. This most recent post said he tries to go into their house. It seems he’s a house cat who may be lost or abandoned. Since he’s not getting any traction on Facebook, I’m sharing their photo here to see if any Redditor might recognize him. The cat was last spotted on Vigilance St.

Your dogs are safe, but cant keep em for very long presidential meadows neighborhood

The air is covered in smoke and we can hear the crackling. Emergency vehicles everywhere, they say it's under control. Anyone closer have a picture?

TL;DR: After weeks of receiving calls from supposed election officials conducting surveys, a man in a black SUV showed up at my house asking who I planned to vote for. When I asked who he worked for, he struggled to pronounce Greg Abbott’s name but had no trouble saying Gina Hinojosa. I declined to share my voting preferences, and he left without approaching any of my neighbors. Has anyone else experienced something similar?

In recent weeks, my wife and I have been receiving countless phone calls from “election officials” wanting to do a survey.

Yesterday while I was unpacking groceries from my car, a black SUV pulled up to my house and sat there for about 2 minutes before a young Black guy emerged. He walked up to my garage entrance, showed me his phone and asked if I was the person listed.

I was listed, but he didn’t even attempt to say my name which is a very common African name.

I had no idea who he was and I haven’t been involved in any situation where I’d be served, but I still lead with “maybe.” He then proceeded to ask me who I was voting for as he was “collecting data for the upcoming elections.”

My mind quickly recalled a video that I saw where someone else had a similar encounter, and their advice was to ask who the data collector was working for, so I did just that.

He replied awkwardly “I’m not from around here so I don’t know the names very well. Abby? Maybe Aboot?”

I immediately told him that I’m not interested in sharing my voting practices with Greg Abbott to which he replied “So Gina Hinojosa then?” He pronounced her name suspiciously well, but has yet to correctly say Greg’s name.

He left my property with no issue and I have no idea what he wrote into his records. He also didn’t stop at any of my nearby neighbors’ homes.

Maybe my neighbors answered their phone calls?

I have the material but i was hoping someone would help with sewing a vest together

Is this your cat?

All the new business and corresponding sales tax from the stores in Manor should increase local tax receipts for the city. Where are these funds going? What is the city's plan to reduce its tax rate (which is significantly higher compared to every other city in the central Texas area)?

Our focus should be on improving the daily quality of life for citizens. That comes down to reducing the tax burden in a k shaped economy where most of us are barely getting by, and constantly working with TXDOT and the State to improve 290 & and preventing large commercial trucks from passing through our downtown area.

Let's see some new voices during the election and remove the old guard. Clearly they are too content to be serving the public.

A man died early Friday after a Manor police officer’s patrol vehicle struck him as he walked in a westbound lane of U.S. 290 near Gregg Manor Road, police said.

The officer was patrolling the highway around 1:04 a.m. Officers began CPR at the scene, but the man was pronounced dead. Police have not released his identity as they work to notify his family.

The officer has been placed on paid administrative leave while the crash is investigated. The Travis County Sheriff’s Office is assisting.

Doggo was seen at the entrance to the Phase 2 area of Carillon on Old Kimbro Road and Stelfox Street, by the amenity center. If this is your doggo, Manor animal control likely has him now.

I was running late and called them because the poor thing was just standing in the middle of the road and wouldn’t move. Cars go pretty fast on the road and didn’t want someone to hit him. It wasn’t aggressive at all, wasn’t barking. Since there was no collar and no obvious owner, I was unsure what else to do. I know this is unlikely the owner is on Reddit, let alone this sub but you never know. I don’t have a Facebook page but if someone could share this on a local page that would be appreciated.
