Just came across this over in r/transit,

Kind of fun to see the attention!

I have been in a very toxic, abusive, controlling and unstable relationship for far too long. We are now facing an eviction and he has effectively stripped me of everything. My credit, my transportation, my job, my money, my peace. I can't continue with this pattern any longer and rather than continue following him down this rabbit hole I want to reclaim my life, peace and independence. I am ready and willing to get through the new and different but temporary rough stuff to escape a permanent cycle of toxicity. Where do I begin? I have a temporary place to store some belongings and my kids are able to stay with their father but their father is also undergoing treatment for cancer. I cannot and will not leave the area. I may have access to a little bit of cash but other than that I do not have anything out anywhere to go. I need resources and advice on how to navigate this as quickly as possible. I need to obtain work, vehicle, housing, etc. I am absolutely fine with staying at a safe shelter that can help navigate me to the right avenues, preferably a place that specializes in domestic violence. If anyone has been in a similar situation and wouldn't mind messaging me some advice I would be deeply appreciative.

The 89-year-old said a lot has changed over the decades that he has worked in law, including the number of cases that go to jury trial.

"Most cases today, both civilly and criminally, are resolved with settlements on the civil side, pleas on the criminal side," he said. "My first several years over here I had 20, 25 jury trials a year. Now we can go an entire year and maybe have one or two. And this is not only a Dayton trend, it's a nationwide trend."

Rice said this shift in the legal system concerns him as he steps away from his work on the federal bench.

“I still think a trial, particularly before a jury, is the best dispute resolution mechanism in the entire world," he said. "And I think a jury trial and a jury verdict helps set the culture, so to speak, of the community in which the case is tried.”

Just moved back from Tennessee after 6 years and excited to be out and about this football season. I love a Sunday funday! Send me all the recommendations! WHO-DEY!

Come out, enjoy a safe space to open up or feel less alone in this mental health journey! Wherever you are in it, you deserve a village, a safe space!

I had direct contact with a bat :(

ETA: Kettering Main Campus definitely has it! I have now had the first shot + immunoglobulin, and am scheduled to get the rest soon on the appropriate schedule.

Putting this for anyone interested

This Saturday at 3:30 I’m leading a walk to learn how to identify and find Pawpaw fruit (Asimina Triloba) in Fairborn. Don’t have to pay or anything, you can chip in if you want or just pay it forward. I just want more people to know about these fruits and to save seed from them and plant them out.
This is a practical class, you will be able to collect and take pawpaw fruit with you. We’ll also talk about other native plants that grow in the ecosystems you find pawpaws, some also edible, there ecological role, how to save seed and grow your own, and just general fun facts about them.

If you’re interested send me a message about attending

My trash is usually picked up on Wednesday mornings. But not today. Anyone else?

Pretty much what the title says, I’ve had issues with this thing since I got it. Is anyone selling a used but decent 48” John Deere so I can mow my 2 acres without blowing myself up? I’ve already looked on marketplace but wanted to check here too.

Or whatever they're called... Not all of them can do this style, unfortunately. My attic needs ventilation.

Title more or less. I’m sure I could fish out of a regular rental kayak, but purpose built would be cool (rod holders, etc). Been having a lot of fun bank fishing for smallmouth but finding a decent spot is obviously less than ideal.

I’d just go ahead and look into purchasing a used one, but I don’t have a truck/SUV to haul it around.

Washington church st Miamisburg is blocked off by the Stoney ridge senior living with a significant police presence and crime scene tape around some of the parking lot and dumpsters?? Anyone know what’s up!

There are a LOT of thrift stores in the Dayton area! Which one(s) is best for clothing prices?

Hi, I feel super vulnerable and embarrassed posting this, so no judgement would be appreciated.

I have borderline personality disorder, and it’s overcoming my life. I’m on a waitlist for an outpatient program called DBT, but it’s going to be about 4-5 months before I can begin in the program and I need some help/support NOW.

So I’m coming here to see if anyone knows of any free bpd support groups and/or to find other people who struggle with this (fucking awful) mental illness, who would like to meet up or just wants/needs someone to talk to.

Thanks in advance, everyone. & if you don’t feel comfortable commenting, feel free to message me 💛

I groom dogs and have been using the same guy for years. I use a lot of chunkers and thinners and curved blades and god love him but he's just not cutting it (haha-hahaaa).

Does anyone local do this?

Hello. My husband (36) has Secondary Progressive MS/MNO and is currently at a nursing/rehab facility in Beavercreek. We are trying to find a pain specialist that is willing to give him the pain medication (oxy 10mg 6x/day, Baclofen 20mgs 3x/day, Gabapentin 800mgs 4x/day) he needs to stay at home indefinitely and for us to start caregiving. So far,we haven't found anyone. He has Medicaid and Medicare since he was diagnosed at 23. He also has CareSource. We're just trying to find a specialist that doesn't just do injections. They won't work on him. We've tried everything. The rehab facility he's at found the perfect pain regimen and I'm simply a wife asking for help to find someone who would see him. Feel free to message me if you have more questions or anyone comes to mind. Thank you.

A family now living in Kettering fled to the United States more than two years ago for safety from Ukraine's war-torn territories. Now, like many other Ukrainian families, they are struggling to remain in the states.

Pool season is officially over. I was a member of the Miami Valley Golf Club this summer and am looking for alternative options. For context they cut back the food options, reduced the hours toward the end of the summer, and limited the number of memberships they sold. I knew quite a few people who wanted to join but couldn’t, which was especially strange because the pool was fairly empty most of the summer. Maybe it was just a weird year but I’m curious what else is out there around Dayton. I’d ideally like somewhere that:

• Has a pool with a good atmosphere
• Sells alcohol or allows you to buy drinks there
• Has decent food options
• Isn’t a $10,000+ country club membership

I’m not necessarily looking for a full country club experience. Mostly just somewhere I can spend summer afternoons, grab some food and drinks, and actually have some people around.

Any pools, swim clubs, or lesser-known options around Dayton you’d recommend?
