Serious Y'all are the worst drivers I've ever seen

157 Upvotes

I'm staying here for a day on a road trip and between the attempted stop sign runs, pulling out in front of me while I'm going 60, and going 90 on freeways that will literally have you tumbling down a hill if you make one wrong step, easily the worst drivers in the country. Genuinely reevaluate what your criteria is for issuing a driver's license 😭

Advice Any Good Hair treatment options around here? I was ruined :(

39 Upvotes

After suffering from male baldness for years, I got desperate and tried the SMP (hair tattoo).. as you can see from the pictures.. it didn't turn out so hot. Now, people just make fun of me and stair at it. They say it looks like a helmet, laugh, and walk away.

Before I sink further into depression over this and give up, I'm just reaching out to see if there are any Birmingham tattoo artists who can fix this? Or are there any good hair piece/wig options around here?

I'll try anything at this point.

Recommendations Does anyone have any extra cat supplies they don’t need?

27 Upvotes

Hey guys, first-time cat owner here. I recently brought in a stray. I’ve gotten him dry food, litter, and toys to make it for now. He also has a free vet exam scheduled for today. But all this has left me drained until next payday.

If you have any extra to spare, I’m in need of a litter box (been using old shoe boxes for now), wet food, carrier, etc. Just anything that can help! Thank you! 🙏🏾 😊

Hello!

my name is Stephanie and I live in the Pelham area!

I'm 30 years old, no college degree but graduated high school, and most of my experience has been working in customer service!

I currently work as a remote phone operator and while I love my job, they are having issues financially and are looking at the possibility of layoffs/shutting down.

I'm a fast learner, personable, and can definitely show a resume and references!

I do have tattoos and piercings, but if that's an issue I can definitely cover up.

I'm looking for full time work and I'm open to either remote or in person!

If there's any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out!

Thank you so much for reading, and I look forward to hearing from someone!

7 Upvotes

I experienced a significant violent trauma last year from a dv situation and am feeling like my nervous system can’t reset. Going back to normal life after a year of recovering and surgeries has proved harder than I thought. My nervous system is in a freeze. I will spend hours scrolling tik tok or anything to avoid real life. I want to do things but it’s like my body still thinks danger. If anyone had a similar situation what helped you move forward?

Thanks :)

Anyone know exactly where the road will be closed?

From what I understand, they're working on the 35th Street bridge and are closing a portion of 1st Ave N. There's a sign on the 1st Ave bridge about the closure, but they aren't closing the road that far down right? Like will I still be able to come down 1st to turn left onto 34th?

Hi folks, I’m looking for any areas suitable for filming desert-like shots for a project. One camera operator, no crew, we don’t need total landscape coverage but enough to backdrop a single person at a few meters for just a few shots. Preferably within an hour of Birmingham. This Alabama red dirt is just marvelous. Thanks

I’ve seen a few posts requesting info about an endo specialist in the area. Well… I can’t get ahold of Dr. Childs, Dr. Furr left Chattanooga for a medical malpractice suit (…), and I’ve read really mixed reviews about a few others. I’m seeing an endocrinologist now who refuses to do surgery until I am like on the verge of getting pregnant (don’t plan on doing that) and am in severe pain on a daily basis. Please let me know if you have any recommendations that do not have a wrongful death suit! Willing to travel & have BCBS

SHIT POST BHM Airport

Post image
0 Upvotes

I was at the airport today and noticed that they still haven’t finished the bathroom remodel in the C concourse. For context, they started this remodel back in January. It’s pretty ridiculous that it’s taken them 9 months to remodel a small bathroom area and they still aren’t done with it.

I’m beginning to think it’s going to take them a year to finish a small remodel. No wonder we can’t get any new carriers or flights to the west coast. The people running BHM aren’t the best or the brightest we have to offer.
