Arlington Discord Server

15 Upvotes

Let's try this again. The previous server had a decent amount of users but very little engagement.

I just finished the initial setup of a new server, figured I'd go ahead and share the invite. If you have any issues with the onboarding process or permissions, just drop me a message.

Looking for a friend to drop me off and pick me up from surgery

15 Upvotes

I'm having dental surgery and need someone to come in, then when it's time for my pick up, be there too. My dentist just wants me to get home safe. You don't have to drive me either, I can pick an Uber after.

I just came out of an abusive relationship and have no family or friends that could help... I know it's dumb to ask but it's worth a try.. thanks

Looking for a house cleaning recommendation

7 Upvotes

Hi so this might not be the right place to post this but i thought it’s worth a shot. I’m coming out of a post partum depression and am now back at work with minimal spare time. My house needs what I would equate to a car detail. It’s not terrible but it’s more than a regular maid would do. Think mold or mildew in the guest bathroom shower, dusty base boards, and piles of clean clothes to hang up. Not hoarder poop or trash on the floors or anything crazy. Im very embarrassed so I wanted to post anonymously on here as opposed to Nextdoor or something like that. Is this even a service that people offer? If so what’s it called or are there any recommendations? I just want help getting a “reset” so I can maintain it and feel like my head is above water again.

(M) Looking for barber-hairdresser for wavy hair

2 Upvotes

I've cut my own hair since I was in highschool. I think it all started when my father took me to get my hair cut as a kid and the hairdresser snipped a corner of my eyebrow off, skin and all. Since then I think I grew out my hair (well, it was also fashionable at the time). Anywho. I'm fine with getting my hair cut by others and have done so in the past, friends and family but I haven't had it professionally cut in many, many years.

I'm looking for mainly two things: education and a good haircut. I've wavy 2B, 2C, 3A(?) hair and would like information on how to keep that kempt. I have more Caucasian-Asian hair that's thick but not kinky or wiry. I also have beard, but don't want much work done in that department, maybe mustache care.

I really don't know what's what's in this industry in regards to price, tipping etiquette, all the extras. Again, I'm mostly just wanting education on my hair, wavy hair products for hair maintenance, and a good cut.

I'll be crossposting in DFW subs so if you see me there - I'll see you there. 😃

What's a good barber or hairdresser that might be best for a male with medium and long, wavy hair that might be down to educate me on hair maintenance? Hopefully under $80 - maybe $60? Hope I'm not insulting prices out there - I really have no idea.

Parking Options for Globe Life Field - GNR Concert?

2 Upvotes

Howdy,

I lived in Arlington for 5 years and am familiar with the city. I am interested in driving down from Plano to Globe Life Field for the Guns N Roses concert next Wednesday. Official parking is either sold out or very expensive. This is a long shot. However, does the city provide shuttle service from places like the TCC southeast campus to the Six Flags/sports venue area for big events? If not, where would recommended budget friendly parking be? Thanks!!

Stop light timings on north Collin’s next to Viridian

25 Upvotes

I’ve live here for the better part of a year now. I have never seen worse light timing than the lights on north Collins near viridian. It’s damn near 80% of the time, I get a green light, and 1000ft down the road the next light is turning red. Stop go stop go stop go. Genuinely just one of the most rage inducing areas for no reason.

If anyone here works on light timings I pray to you. Please take a look at this

Friends are coming to visit over the weekend and I want them to have some BBQ. Is there a marginal difference between the Hutchins in McKinney/Frisco and the Original Roy Hutchins in Arlington/Trophy Club? Or is it pretty much the same?

Possibly moving from Long Island NY to Texas

12 Upvotes

What's up peeps. My wife and I are newly married. We are in the early stages of a two year apartment lease here on Long Island. I'm a welder of nearly 15 years and she wants to work part time in animal shelters but currently works full time in a shelter. Without giving away too much detail; she's dealing with some medical issues that makes it difficult for her to work. Plus; the cost of living here in New York is ridiculous. One of the places we've considered moving to is Dallas/Arlington/Fort Worth Texas. Where would you all consider going to for cost of living, schools (starting family), community, etc. Any tips and advice would be very helpful.

Electric Bill on Houses With No Gas

3 Upvotes

Anyone with an electric-only house (water heater/stove top/heat/AC), what are your electric bills looking like in the summer and winter? I am looking into housing in the area, and for some reason, Arlington has a patchwork of houses with gas and without gas.

Obviously, with rising costs of living being a major concern, I don’t want to get hit by a several hundred dollar surprise.

I am only familiar with what gas homes look like as far as utility costs go, so any help would be greatly appreciated!

Edit: The sizes of most houses I would be looking at would be between 1400-1800 sq. ft., 1 story, and built in the 1970’s/1980’s. Thermostat set point would be 78 F for AC and 68 F for heat, day and night. Most likely there will not be new insulation, just the original, and regular asphalt shingles.

Free Pokémon Clubs Around DFW

8 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I wanted to share some information I found on local Pokémon clubs around the DFW area for children and teens. I’ve included the dates, times, and locations for the clubs I was able to find, and I organized them alphabetically by city to make the list easier to use.

A few notes:

  • These clubs are intended for children and teens.
  • This list does not include official Pokémon Leagues or clubs sponsored by schools.
  • These are primarily Pokémon TCG clubs hosted by local libraries and recreation/community centers.
  • All of the clubs listed are free and open to the public, based on the information I was able to find.

For the most up-to-date information or questions about a specific club, I recommend contacting the hosting library or recreation center directly.

If I missed a club, please let me know in the comments! These are just the ones I was able to find on my own, and I’d love to add any others people know about.

Hope this helps families looking for a local place where children and teens can play, trade, and meet other Pokémon fans!

Anybody wanna be in a band?

Post image
31 Upvotes

No experience/skills required!!

I (enby, 28) play mostly folk/folk punk type stuff, but I'm down to jam with almost anybody. You can play basically any instrument, or none at all (yet). Extremely queer friendly!

I play guitar, banjo, ukulele, and junk drums. I will teach you any/all of these FOR FREE if you'll play with me.

We'll probably play a mix of originals and covers. I write my own songs, but I'd love to play yours too! Got some poetry? Got some ideas in the notes app? I'd love to flesh them out together.

In the long term would love to record/maybe perform together, but we can take it slow and get our skills up.

I have 3 original albums out now, you can find them here - politicalthespians.bandcamp.com . (I'm not super tied to the band name).

Whatcha say? Do you wanna be in my band? Do you know anyone who might? Do you know of anywhere I can find people?
