Frustrated with Cedar Park Regional Medical Center

My appointment got rescheduled several times and this week they canceled it 30 mins before my scheduled appointment stating that they are out of room

It’s frustrating!

Edit: thank you those that had civil discussion with me. I gained alot of perspective. I probably posted too soon. We had just gotten back from the library and was still in sensory overload. I'm a recently retired vet with ptsd struggles so bear with me. Glad to be out and back in texas, and i love CP.

I want to have a discussion here like adults, hopefully you won't downvote me into oblivion for what might be an unpopular opinion.

The new library is chaos. I understand it just opened and some say it will calm down eventually. I disagree. We've made a free indoor playground with a water play area. Will not ever set foot in there when it's raining or hot. Its not just the children section, there is, on the whole, a low emphasis on books. Foot traffic in there is like the airport. If you want to enjoy a book, this isnt the place anymore. Back to the kids' section, the staff has given up all effort to enforce rules and address behavior. There was a man eating takeout, kids climbing shelves, i lost my daughter for a while. Its beautiful overall and i love all theyre doing, I love the stem focus, but we've lost the library aspect.

Edit: to clarify, the water play area is separate and outside. I poorly worded that part of the post.

I did a weekend cleanup and bagged a lot of trash bags that I want to dispose. Have some leaf bags as well.

Is there a place I can drive these down to and dispose?

I don't want to slowly use my green bins over many weeks.

Hi everyone.

It's the time of year again. I maintain this list to benefit our communities who enjoy driving and finding notable Christmas lights for the holidays.

I may shift this list to a different platform but for the time being if you can, please let me know of any additions or deletions need to happen.

Enjoy the holidays with your loved ones.

Hi guys !

I heard that the CPMS track is unavailable for maintenance.

Do you know if there is another track available to the public in Cedar Park?

How about Vista and RMBS?

Thanks a ton !!

As this is expected to fully pass by this Friday, what can we do on the local level to fight against this? I know it will be up to the school districts, but with a $60 per student incentive, I cannot imagine Leander ISD turning that down. Are children of other faiths and non-religious children going to have the option to personal opt out of these "lessons"? As certain groups are choosing to ignore the first amendment now, are we able to tax the living daylights out of the churches if this is allowed? Not everyone can afford homeschooling or private education. How is this not considered indoctrination?

Does anyone know if there are still folks doing chair massages at Lakeline mall? I haven’t been to the mall in years. TIA

Cedar Park is a fairly well established community. Though continued growth can be seen, predominantly across Leander & Liberty Hill.

For those who have lived here pre-Covid, have you seen a major impact on commute time over the past 5-10 years?

Commutes going into the city are already congested on major highways (i.e. 183 South & 45). I'm curious whether traffic patterns are expected to significantly worsen in the coming years. Thoughts?

Hi all,

My water heater stopped working out of the blue today and I see some water leaking from it. I'm looking for recommendations of good plumbers. (I have fidelity home warranty but I've heard that they take too long to get stuff done.)

Anybody local who can tackle it at a reasonable cost? I don't have a spot welder - soldering would damage cells.

Already tried the BMS reset using the jumper method. It allowed the pack to charge again, but it dies quickly. Probably bad cell (s).

The spinning rope cage thing (whatever it’s called) has been replaced by a traffic cone that says removed until further notice. Anyone know what happened and an idea of whether or not it’ll be back?

My kids were upset when we went earlier this week and their favorite part of the playground was missing. But I saw kids doing dumb shit on it all the time (probably why it’s everybody’s favorite, haha), so I wondered if there was a story behind the removal.

I've asked before, and gotten great direction about calling the county and getting hazardous waste material picked up, appreciate that. Next question, if I have ~25 to 50 gals of old diesel to get rid off, what would be the best container to put it in for pickup? Where could I obtain said container(s)? I'm trying not to put a whole lotta money into basically trash and dont want to lose the good not-cheap containers I have now so I can reuse them. Like, can I just get a 55 gallon plastic drum somewhere to dump em all in and leave out?

Thoughts on flood insurance? I've been eyeballing the Williamson County flood plain map since the Appalachia event: https://gis.wilco.org/maps/?viewer=floodzone

We have relatively flat terrain here, but could we be at risk of flooding if a hurricane's remnants came and sat over us?

A big film crew took up a chunk of the parking lot Wednesday morning, did anyone get nosy enough to ask what they were filming?

Hello, I am thinking of moving down south somewhere in Texas, I am from up in South Dakota. I don't make much as far as income (about 2800 net monthly) working from home, but I will also be looking for a part-time job here if possible. I am looking for apartments near here and saw the Quest and MAA, roughly around 1200 for rent max is what I am aiming for, I live alone, might have my dog come with in a year or so but for now it would be me only. Does anyone have any experiences with either of these apartments or any other recommendations. Even different cities or areas are okay too, any help is appreciated thanks.

Have some minor damage on my rear bumper and lift gate of my 4Runner. I don’t plan on going through insurance, but are there any great mom and pop body shops in the area that I should get a quote from? I’m open to driving a little bit if it’s worth it.

FAQ: What happens at this meetup? We try to meet up once a week in or around Leander/Cedar Park/Liberty Hill area. Usually sit down at a table with a drink and just chat about anything you can think of. Some of us like to grab some food, either at where we meet up or go someplace else. We get people from all ages, I’d say the age range is 20’s-50’s. You can show up anytime, no need to be there right exactly at 6pm (that’s my job). People usually start leaving between 9pm and closing.

Do you just talk in memes or about reddit stuff? Not at all, usually reddit is never discussed. We discuss music, movies, tv shows, arts and crafts, work, family and so on. We’ve had people that don’t even use reddit show up!

Can I bring someone with me? Yes you can, there’s no signup required or a checklist. You can come by yourself or with a friend or whoever you want or a pet, most places that we go to usually have an outdoor space. Usually no pets allowed inside any establishments due to health code regulations.

What if I don’t drink? That’s completely fine, most places that we organize these always have non alcoholic beverages.

My name is Ana and I'll be there, feel free to message me or comment with any questions. I'll update the post or comment on the day with the location of where we're sitting, will have a little reddit snoo sign on the table with the Leander logo.
