I'm not sure what the laws are in Texas, but are there any liquor stores open on Christmas day? If so, anywhere in South Austin near Wm. Cannon/Brodie?
Bah Humbug (TIA),

| Open for Christmas Day? |
[Dec. 23rd, 2009|05:27 pm] |
My parents and little sister have decided that since I cannot visit them for Christmas, that they will come to me! One problem... where to have Christmas dinner? Any suggestions for places open Christmas Day? I'm north but geography is unimportant, as long as there are vegetarian options.

| I need suggestions for volunteering Christmas Eve and Day |
[Dec. 23rd, 2009|04:10 pm] |
I'm not working, I'm not with family. I was planning all my dog walking and fun having for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day until I saw an article in the Chronicle about helping the homeless.
I want to help families. I want to be where families are and I can help moms and dads feed their children this year.
Give me all your suggestions! |

I know the festival is over, but do they keep the tree itself up till Christmas? Can you just go to the park and see it? |

| Teacher's Certifications - Opinions on Providers |
[Dec. 22nd, 2009|02:51 pm] |
| [ | mood |
| |  thoughtful | ] |
Oh great and mighty community,
My husband has decided that he wants to become a middle school science teacher. We've already exhausted our Google fu looking for Austin area programs that cater to mid career change individuals. We have a list based both on Google and on recommendations from the AISD site.
However, there's a huge list and we're floundering a bit trying to find which program is the best. Here's where I need your help - any personal recommendations on programs to become a teacher in the Austin area?
He has all of the reqs that most certification programs ask for: Bachelor's degree, GPA, etc. He will be working full time while trying to obtain this certification so anything that has evening and weekends are important. Money and location isn't really an object as long as it's a good program for him. I really want this to be successful.
He doesn't really have a preference as far as school districts go and we don't have children so any insight, rumors or interesting tidbits regarding the different local districts would be much appreciated. |

| Computer Classes |
[Dec. 22nd, 2009|01:13 pm] |
|
I’m thinking about taking computer classes next year (web design, HTML/CSS, flash maybe). Wondering if anyone has any class recommendations or experience doing classes at ACC, Informal Classes… Obviously want to learn a lot but I’d be balancing this with a full time job and other side projects. Don’t want to feel totally overwhelmed or overloaded. I have considered just trying to teach myself online or buying a book but I don’t think I’m disciplined enough. I’d much rather just go to a class. |

| Breaking local news.. plz to fix. kthxbai: water outage near Braker & Lamar |
[Dec. 22nd, 2009|01:04 pm] |
I just got off the phone with Austin water via 311 - they said there was a water line break that was causing some flooding in houses, so they shut off service to part of my neighborhood. They had no estimated time when the water would be back on, however she recommended to give them 4-6 hours. If you live near Braker & Lamar, you might call your dog and see if she's got wet paws when she answere the phone.
More reason to drink beer. |

Edit:I missed the post about the lights before sorry about that!!
My parents are in town for Christmas and this is our first year staying in Austin for Christmas (instead of going to either of our families places) and we're all needing to get a little more in the holiday spirit :). Any ideas especially dog friendly ones would be GREATLY appreciated! My parents still haven't spent enough time here to really warm up to the city yet, i'm hoping we can change that :).
Cheers!
Edit#2 (sorry!)- Where in Austin would i be able to find a reasonably priced 12 inch cast iron skillet?! |

| Dutch food |
[Dec. 21st, 2009|09:53 am] |
Hi All,
After searching through the tags with international food I could not find my answer unfortunately so I hope maybe someone can help me out.
I've moved from the Netherlands to Austin about 2 months ago and I really miss some products. I already checked at whole foods and at least I could find decent bread there, which made me really happy. A lot of the products I can buy from online shops but they are insane expensive and I know the H.E.B. used to sell dutch food in the foreign isle but today i heard they took it out.
Does any of you know where I could possible find dutch food?
Thanks in Advance.

[Dec. 19th, 2009|05:57 pm] |
I'm hoping to be able to find 2-3 sets of scrubs in the next week or so...does anybody know a good uniform or medical supply store where I can find them for cheap without compromising on quality? I'm on the petite side, if that helps any.
Thanks! |
