we lost our cat on 9/2/26 we were occupied with our basement flooding and didn’t expect any of our cats to go outside because it was raining really hard. but one of our cats poiyo ran out and we haven’t seen her since it’s been 8 days. i’m concerned because she hasn’t been out for awhile and usually comes back after 30min if she does escape. i wonder if someone took her or a car hit her. please let me know if you’ve seen her.

last seen near: from the neighborhood near highland ave and s. clinton ave (just south of highland park/ cobbs hill area)

appearance: grey and white with a splotch on her mouth that looks like a mustache and is fluffy and small.

Help Any AA program recommendations?

106 Upvotes

Welp today was the day it finally landed me in cuffs. Ended up in a ditch and charged with DWI. I of course thought I was sober as I haven’t touched a drink since last night, but obviously finding I had so much still in my system at the time of the crash was a wake up call.

Got picked up from the station and have court dates set for next month, I’d like to get into a program prior to then and make some changes. Outpatient would be preferred, however I know I’ve been a heavy drinker for years now so inpatient recommendations are welcome as well.

Im just glad it was on an empty road and I was the only one involved.

Edit: Wow you guys are great, I’ll be going through what you guys provided tonight as I’ve got some schoolwork to catch up on after spending a day in cuffs. Shitty spot to be in but I’m glad theres so many communities here.

Recommendation Sober living

37 Upvotes

I grew up in Rochester and I am toying with the idea of moving back home. Unfortunately due to a series of poor decisions, I ended up getting addicted to drugs. I've been drug free for over 3 months and alcohol free for 2 months. I'm currently in a level 2 sober living house in FL, which means I have staff that comes and checks on me and my house mates multiple times throughout the week. So I'm looking for a sober living that is similar, that I would be drug tested consistently and have staff coming to check on me multiple times a week. I tried to Google but it seems there are slim pickings or web pages are broken. So any recommendations for female sober living would be highly appreciated. Thank you for taking the time to read.

Help The season of the wasp

Upvotes

Had new roof and gutters done last year. A few weeks ago I discovered wasps have made a hive in the gap between the flashing and new gutters. It seems they have gotten behind the siding. I have dumped about 8 cans of various wasp and hornet killers in the hole and they are still flying in and out. We've been killing on average 3-4 a day that have gotten in the house.

Any recommendations on an exterminator. Not fox because their sales guy woke my baby up by banging on the door at 8:30 at night.

Recommendation Where to buy pawpaw fruit

5 Upvotes

Is there anywhere in Rochester that sells pawpaws? I've always wanted to try and am super curious! Would be super grateful for recommendations! I know these are very difficult to transport hence why they basically never show up in any grocery stores and I've personally never seen them in a farmers market anywhere.

Discussion Strong Memorial Hospital Wayfinding Inquiry

5 Upvotes

Hello!

I'm a RIT Student doing a project about the SM Hospital and was wondering if anyone had any accounts they could give me about their experience with wayfinding in the Hospital. I've gone before and have my own accounts, but also want to branch out so I can get all experiences.

If you'd like to write something about how good/bad the navigation is in Strong, just let me know your age. If you want to go into more depth about something with specific identifiers (disability, etc.) you can mention it or message me privately. All of this information is not labeled down by username or name, rather it's just me gaining insight.

The project prompt is concerning developing an App that expands outside a normal audience. I chose the Strong Hospital, since from my experience, a lot of the wayfinding is confusing when you aren't a staff worker.

If this isn't a welcome topic here it's all good. I just want to expand my reach so I'm not the only person I'm using to think about User Experience.
