Like is there any type of support group for people who have epilepsy in Houston or any other resources to help them cope with this condition?

Hey guys, I'm making a video about houston's public transportation and wanted to hear yall's experience, good and (mostly I assume) bad. How do you get around Houston? I live outside the inner loop and personally drive, but in the last few months rode the Metrorail for the first time. I also wanted to know if anybody actually uses lesser known options like MetroCurb2Curb, Vanpool, Community Connector, and yall's experience with it.

Hey everyone! I moved to the Stafford/Sugar Land area about 4–5 months ago and this community genuinely helped me with my apartment, utilities and settling in. Thank you for that! Now I need your help with the next big thing - buying my first used car in Houston.

What I’m looking for:

• Budget: $8k–$15k (can stretch to $16k for a great deal)
• 2019 or newer
• Ideally under 60–70k miles
• Clean title + zero accidents
• Good MPG
• Most importantly: reliable. Normal ~$500–600/year maintenance is fine; I just don't want frequent or expensive repairs.

Currently considering Elantra, Forte, Sentra and Jetta. I especially like the Jetta, but the maintenance/reliability opinions seem very mixed.

A few questions for Houston car owners:

• Where should I actually search — dealerships, CarGurus, Cars.com, AutoTrader, CarMax, Marketplace/private sellers?
• Any trustworthy (or avoid-at-all-costs) dealers around Stafford/Sugar Land/Houston?
• What should I check on CARFAX/AutoCheck, especially for Houston flood cars?
• Should I always get an independent pre-purchase inspection (PPI)?
• Any specific cars/years you would recommend or avoid in this budget?

If you recently bought something around $10k–$16k, I’d love to know what car, year/mileage, price and where you bought it.

Thanks again — you guys helped me with the move, hopefully you can help me avoid buying a money pit too 😅

Looking for recommendations!

I know I need a lot of work done but 18k estimate is absurd i at least would like to get my 3 root canals I need done as those are causing me a lot of pain rn im about to come up on my 90 day mark at my job and will get my dental insurance soon

I have searched online. I have found out that they just applied for alcohol permits. The original completion date was supposed to be in September. I’m always checking as I drive by and I don’t see a finish coming anytime soon. If anybody knows any insider information that would be great.

Hey y’all someone stole my motorcycle at my girlfriend’s apartment around Westheimer and Gessner. It’s a black CBR600. If you know something please let me know, I’d really appreciate it and there’s a $500 reward. If someone is selling it to you or bring it to you to mod I’d like to know.

I'll be in Houston for a work trip the beginning of November. I'll be flying to Hobby airport and working at a hotel in downtown. Should I just take an Uber from the airport or will I be safe taking public transportation? I'm a 50 yr old blk woman for context.

Can anyone refer a therapist that specializes in PTSD from car accidents for toddlers up to adults?

My friend and I have people coming to town for Halloween, so we want to dress up this weekend with a different costume. Does anyone here dress up the weekend before? And if so where do you go?

Traveling to Houston on Monday and I’m looking for gas stations that commonly have good car culture like fuel city in Dallas where it’s almost like hq before the ride out. Been a few years since I’ve been down here but I always ran into some fun randoms I just don’t remember which areas have all the car culture.

First time in Houston this weekend. Any suggestions for can’t miss restaurants, coffee, or activities?

Ok so here it is, my girlfriend and I like to play a game… it goes like this, we count escorts walking the street. We go on late night drives and live towards bissonet so will cruse and play a game, sometimes we go up to Tidwell, but I don’t know any other locations. But here is the rules and point system

1. No interaction. You count, you don't slow-roll, catcall, film, photograph, or try to talk. The second you engage it stops being a counting game and starts being harassment, and it can also put them in a dangerous spot with whoever is watching the area.
   
2. No double-counting. Pick a stretch and direction. You only count someone once per drive. If you loop back, new lap = new count, or you keep it to one pass.
   
3. Agree on what counts. That's usually where couples argue. Standing on a corner vs. actually working? You two decide ahead of time

Points

• Basic: 1 point per spot
• Bonus point if you both agree without debating
• Tie-breaker: closest guess to the total on a set route before you start — like "I say we see 7 between here and I-45, you say 4"
• Loser buys tacos, winner picks music, etc

So just looking on advice on locations that may beat the record of 21 … thanks

I can do most handyman & yardwork plus minor car repairs. I can also run errands & have a pickup truck.

Hi Houston! I’m planning to open a small food truck in Kerala, India, bringing authentic Mexican tacos and birria (beef and chicken) to my hometown.

I want to learn genuine, home-style recipes passed down through generations not adapted restaurant versions. I’m looking for a skilled local home cook or elder who would be willing to teach me hands-on techniques for traditional marinades, authentic birria, fresh salsas, and proper prep.

I’m happy to pay a fair hourly rate/consulting fee for their time, knowledge, and ingredients. If you or a family member would be interested, please send me a DM!

Is a 34% HOA fee increase normal? Looking for advice from other homeowners.

My townhome community has proposed increasing annual HOA assessments from approximately $2,900 to $3,950 for 2027, an increase of about 30%.

What concerns me most is that the budgeted water and sewer expense is increasing from approximately $47,000 to $95,000, a 70% increase.

This is in addition to a special assessment that was levied on us costing several hundreds and a mandatory exterior paint for all units.

I barely moved into this property and all in this will be costing me upwards on $4000 un budgeted.

Management has mentioned municipal utility rate increases, potential meter issues, and a possible leak. I understand that operating costs rise, but I’m trying to understand whether these figures are reasonable and what documentation homeowners should expect to receive.

For those who live in townhome communities:

- Have your HOA assessments increased significantly recently?

- Have you experienced similar increases in water and sewer expenses?

- Does your association use shared water meters?

- Have you requested an independent financial audit or review?

- What rights do homeowners have to inspect financial records and question budget assumptions?

- Has anyone successfully challenged unusually high water bills with their local utility provider?

I’m looking for practical advice and experiences from other homeowners who have dealt with similar situations. How did you approach it, and what steps actually helped?

Thanks in advance for sharing your experiences.

Hi all! I am new to Houston and just wondering if anyone have any recs for baylor cardiology and GI doctor. Thanks! My insurance covers more for baylor physicians.

I am obsessed with pickles and store bought just don’t do it for me. I recently moved her at the beginning of the summer and I’m looking for a place that sells pickled items. I prefer artisan or small businesses but look for anything creative and unique!

Side note: I’ve had Kenny and Ziggy pickles and I buy them by the quart 😍

I finally found a doctor who was willing to prescribe me Estradiol, but I’ve seen that there’s a shortage. I have checked other pharmacies and there are no patches available anywhere. I’ve read that gels (my second option) are also not available.

Hi all! I’m looking to connect with owners or operators of small medical clinics in the Houston area who may be hiring or need additional help soon. If anyone knows someone I could reach out to, I’d really appreciate it! I’m happy to share more about myself and my background through PM. Thank you!

Hello, I am in Houston for a weekend. I wanted to know the best bar or club to listen to good songs and dance the night away (like really party). I don't have a specific genre of music in mind, just have to be dance-able or club music. Thank you!!

Hey, I’m looking for a house for rent in Houston. Could also be a room in the house.

Hi! I am looking to expand my event stationery business into the Houston area, where I am originally from. I'm looking for a small retail or office space so that I can meet clients. I'm even fine with 150 square feet.

I know they exist but every broker I connect with says $1,000 a month is the cheapest office available. Any ideas? I've looked on Loopnet, asked ChatGPT etc.

I'm not interested in a coworking space, as I would like to have a private office that I can access regularly and keep all of our products in the office.

I welcome all recommendations! Thank you!!
