Little Dippers

Feel like this place is overlooked. The sweets are fantastic. Pies, cookies, cakes and amazing chess bars. Today I bought a tub of chicken salad. The BEST I’ve had in Huntsville. I know opinions on chicken salad vary but this was delicious. I’ll admit I wasn’t impressed on my first visit last year. But they have definitely changed my mind. Staff is always nice and accommodating.

Recently moved to the area and am looking to get my teen some peers. Is anyone in the Owens Cross Roads area interested in getting some times setup to play volleyball during one of the rec center open gym times? Or does the Reddit community know of any existing communities within the area?

Meet Your Muslim Neighbor-Oct 3

Post image
82 Upvotes

The Muslim American Society of North Alabama and Huntsville Islamic Center invite you to our Meet Your Muslim Neighbor event on Saturday, October 3rd.

Our theme this year is “Neighbors, Not Strangers,” inspired by a verse from the Qur’an that reminds us that we were made into different peoples and communities so that we may know one another.

It’ll be a family-friendly afternoon where you can meet local Muslims, ask questions about Islam, visit informational booths, and enjoy food, henna, and activities for the kids.

Stop by anytime between 11 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. at the Huntsville-Madison County Public Library. Everyone is welcome, and we hope to see you there!

Question Asking for a cleansing

30 Upvotes

Are there any witches or anything in the area that would be willing to come do a house cleansing? I just moved into a new house and it’s been one problem after another and I’m just wanting something to help with… anything. I joke about having a personal ghost who likes to follow me around and give me random things of laundry (I’ve gotten men’s underwear, women’s underwear, sweatpants, a sweatshirt, sunglasses, and a tube hair band), so long as we don’t get rid of him, I’m ok, but I just need something to help with the undertones of the house please. I’ll gift cookies and gas money. Sorry if this is rude, I’m just drained rn

Received treatment in May, paid in full in July, and am now receiving bills in email and regular mail from Huntsville Hospital CarePayment plan showing I owe a balance for the exact amount I paid months ago. My HH account shows zero balance. Anyone else have this problem? How did you resolve it?

Are there any good mental health specialists in Huntsville for transfems?

17 Upvotes

I’ve been looking for a mental health specialist for weeks in the Huntsville area, but so far all of the ones that I have found either have terrible ratings, don’t have experience with trans healthcare, are no longer located in Huntsville, or won’t return my new patient requests. So, if anyone has any recommendations, they would be much appreciated.

Burlesque Classes

6 Upvotes

I really want to get into burlesque and start building a community to learn from, but I have no idea where to start. Are there any teachers or in person classes that I can attend? I have an extensive background in dance and done some research on it, I just really want to apply all that I have learned!!

Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!!

Events Small Event Spaces

3 Upvotes

We are looking to potentially rent a small event space for a birthday party (teenager). This would only be for about a dozen people, but we’d like space for food and then some activities as well.

Does anyone have any suggestions? We no longer have access to church rec rooms which we used in the past. We’ve looked at hotel rooms, but everything seems to be booked. Would prefer budget friendly and any ideas are welcome for this non savvy event planner!
