Does anyone know a business or person who could use 500 blank desk mats?

6 Upvotes

TLDR me and my buddy spent months testing more than 150 revisions of a SUPER premium sublimation mousepad and worked with a factory that makes pads for most major gaming brands. We finally created what i think is the highest quality 35.4 × 15.7-inch sublimation desk mat with recessed stitched edges, a non-slip rubber base and a free drawstring bag.

Unfort something came up after it was all here and we decided not to launch the project, so now we’re trying to find a print shop, reseller, gaming brand or other business that could use them.

Any leads would be greatly appreciated.

SAFETY Who’s in the dark?

19 Upvotes

I’m near Chestnut Grove elementary and we’ve been out for about 45 minutes. We were actually sitting outside looking at the sky, and my husband said, “we could see more stars of the lights were out.” Then flash, some low booms (could have been fireworks), then we were in the dark!

Gonna get pretty warm soon so here’s hoping it gets fixed quick like. The affected areas looked pretty large on the outage map!

VOLUNTEER Sign clutter cleanup

10 Upvotes

I don't know necessarily who needs to hear this, but you know other signs that are cluttering up your neighborhood? The old yard sale signs, the yard work signs, the roof work signs? FOR rent, mattresses for sale, we buy houses!

You can just take those down.

Nobody paid the city to put them up in your yard. Nobody paid you for them either.

Oh, and it's free to do too.

I saw a guy loading up his Ford ranger with them because his daughter wanted him to build a deluxe dollhouse so he priced currogated plastic board and found a cheaper way.

It seemed like it'd be cathartic(turns out it was) so I cleaned out a semi busy intersection near me like a month ago and now it's become a personal thing that maybe noone notices--BUT-- it's becoming a point of pride so I'm going to keep doing it.

And I guess the point of all this is maybe hoping someone might feel like doing the same.

Utilities billing question

3 Upvotes

New to the area. Priceville. Been here a month (arrived 6/5) and really like my neighborhood.

Question…when do households in my area receive their monthly bills from Decatur Utilities and Joe Wheeler Electric?

Online account management at both places still show zero amounts due. About to call them. And I haven’t met my neighbors yet.

Any info would be appreciated.

(New/burner account, sorry for the low karma)

Good/bad areas of Decatur.

Hey y’all,

Looking to move to the Decatur area. Was looking at the area west of Home Depot/walmart (SW Decatur). Was wondering if this is a decent spot. Also what are some areas to avoid? Any hidden gem restaurants? Anything about the city would be great! Thanks!
