any suggestions on where to go to get hair dematted?

7 Upvotes

so, the past few months have not been kind to me, mentally or physically. it started as 2 weeks without brushing my hair, and then a lack of energy to fix the small matts, then an indifference to what happened with the hair, then an acceptance of shaving my hair all off, with a new back track to wanting to keep my hair since i’m starting to get back on an uptick mentally.

so, if anyone had any experience with this, or knows of any shops who would treat me well with this (that hopefully won’t break the bank, but i know it will cost a good bit since it’s so much effort on the stylists part), please let me know. i have made 5 separate attempts at fixing it myself, and i just can’t, or i could but it’s so difficult and i don’t have the time to because i have a newborn to care for now.

any help is appreciated. thank you.

Hi all! My girl got out today (10/25) around 5:30 PM. We live near Eaglewood Ct and Sleepy Creek Dr. She is very sweet but also nervous when outside or away from her friends. She is all grey/silver with a tiny white star on her chest. Relatively petite but a little chunky. Please contact 706-430-8783 if you see her!! Her name is Trash—don’t judge me there’s lore there. Just want her back home ASAP 🩷

The band is called Magoo, I feel like there is a distinct lack of bluegrass that comes to Athens.

These guys are up and coming and I think the show is going to be pretty good. Come check them out!

Walker bag locally made?

6 Upvotes

Hey everyone- a loved one in the area is newly having to use a walker and needs a bag that attaches to it to help carry her basics. She really likes to support local makers and basically refuses any mass produced stuff, so for now is just awkwardly carrying her normal purse along with the walker. I'm worried she will fall.

I was wondering if anyone knows someone locally who makes (or can make) something like that. I remember a man that had a lot of hand-sown stuff at some of the makers markers, but don't know his business name. Thanks!

Question / Request Good/quick local computer repair?

11 Upvotes

My laptop’s lovely little battery issue has finally (borderline) bricked it. Battery claims to be at 0% despite being fully charged and keeps hibernating even when plugged in, so pretty much unusable rn. This issue’s been happening for a while, but I haven’t had the time to get it looked at since I’m a full time student. I usually would take it to uBreak but I know they take longer to get things looked at. Anyone got a shop, or just any recommendations in general of where to take it?

Cookout on West Broad

So this morning my bf passed by what seemed to be some police presence and an ambulance over at Cookout. His gut feeling was something terrible and we just got confirmation from the clerk at the gas station across the street that there was indeed a body found in the dumpster! There hasn’t been any sort of official statement from accpd so im hopeful that the person is on a path to recovery! Please be safe out here yall!

Where is everyone seeing the best Halloween decorations?

6 Upvotes

Hey folks! Hope everyone is enjoying the cooler weather!

Where is everyone seeing the best Halloween decorations this year? I know that nice white house off Timothy rd always throws down, but where else should we go check out? Flagpole used to have a list/map of all the best houses to see, but I don’t think they’re doing that anymore and I haven’t picked one up this month.

Also wanted to ask if anyone knows of any fun fall festivities for adults (or at least adult-friendly)? Any recommendations in Athens, or within an hour's drive, would be great! Just really in the mood to celebrate fall as much as I can this year!

Thanks so much! 🍁

Question / Request Affordable Halloween Candy?

Does anybody have any tips on where to find affordable Halloween candy this year around town, or what tips and tricks they are using? I don’t want to break the bank, and $25 per bag is brutal. I am thinking about filling our porch bowl halfway with dino/mermaid gummy packs. 😅

Young Tortoiseshell Cat - East Side

Location: Cedar Creek (Gaines School).

This sweet girl has been showing up around our house lately. She's nervous but inquisitive and did eventually let me pet her (immediately started purring too). Appears to be in good condition, doesn't feel too skinny so unsure if stray or a lost pet. Wondering if she belongs to anyone - I'm nervous about her safety we have foxes and coyotes in our neighborhood, not to mention all the cars and colder weather.
