rear ended near Louis Henna HEB... insurance calling non stop

21 Upvotes

Got bumped Tuesday afternoon right near the HEB on Louis Henna. Guy in an F-150 wasn't paying attention. Thought it was just a cracked bumper on my 2017 Civic, but my lower back and neck started stiffening up yesterday.

His insurance keeps calling wanting me to sign some $500 quick settlement release. I'm still waiting on the body shop estimate and had to drop $75 at urgent care yesterday. Should I wait for the body shop quote first or get my neck checked out again?

Edit: thanks for the replies, i will check out Garcia Injury Law and see if they can help me, will update soon

Central Texas Treatment Center

10 Upvotes

Hello, I have a family member that got court mandated to this center after jail in order to not do any prison time. They’re currently having a really hard time adjusting. They say it’s not a good place and that their stay there will not be the amount that they were told. They were told 5 months for treatment but recently found out through staff there and other peers there that 5 months is nearly impossible. The average stay is 10 months. I’m genuinely worried for them since they seemed very uncomfortable and currently saying they rather go back to jail time then be at the center.
If you or anyone that you know has gone to this place, please let me know of their experience🙏🙏 Or else we’ll attempt to just move them back to jail. I’m really worried

Submit a noise complaint at 1am and the police arrive look side to side and left. Like not getting out of the car and actually check. Call a second time and they never arrived.

Late night work/study space in round rock on the weekends?

The library closes at 6pm on Saturday/Sunday. So does the Georgetown library. Is there anything open till like 10pm?

I mean, I understand coffee shops and cafes are a thing, but I was curious if there was a public space akin to the library or baca center where I'm not expected to spend money.

I Had No Idea Cockroaches Could Fly!! (Story/Rant)

22 Upvotes

I have been in RR for the better part of a decade and came by way of Brooklyn, NY & while there are HUGE waterbugs and cockroaches there, I have never encountered one that could fly until last night.

My wife leaves a bit of cat food on the porch for the random alley cats in the area. As we returned home from a lovely evening out, I saw this big cockroach near the cat bowl. She is deathly afraid of cockroaches, so I ran to the garage to let her in the house and grab the roach spray.

I got back to the porch, and he was gone, or so I thought. I looked up, and he was near the top of the covered porch. I thought, "Wow, this guy is a fast climber!" So I pointed the spray at him, and to my shock, that bastard flew directly at my face. I must have shrieked like a distressed little girl because the neighbor's porch lights went on like they were on the same timers.

Luckily, I hit him with enough poison that he stopped flying and started twitching on the floor from a bad case of the deads. Growing up in an NYC Italian neighborhood in the 1980s, I knew I had to send a message to the rest of his crew, so I taped him to the bricks to make an example out of him. Now, if other roaches get any ideas, they will think "I ain't going to that house! Did you see what the owner did to Pete!"

I am not scared or grossed out by much. I was a medic in the US Army during the early days of OIF, so I have seen gross shit, but flying cockroaches may be over my ick threshold, or at the very least, they are firmly on the line.

Should I be aware of and/or on the lookout for any other evolutionary anomalies in insects, rodents, or animals? Will I have to face a rat that can breathe fire in the near future?
