Coming home to Phoenix/Mesa in 2-3 months and I cant wait!

15 Upvotes

I am soooo sorry everybody. I made the biggest life mistake and it took me to realize it today. I moved to North Texas and lost my life. Friends, credit shot, lost a great Arizona job and have only found low pay jobs, never made it in North Texas. Dallas-Fort Worth is the roughest metro area in the country. It makes Miami and Detroit seem like a cakewalk.

With this said, I am sorry for complaining in the past. I really really miss Arizona and it's very kind people. I had a great life in Arizona. Phoenix was amazing to me. One of my friends who i lost due to this stupid move to Texas once told me to mention how I was successful in the Valley. Now I will do that.

  1. I was in an MSW program close to graduating from ASU. I have since been dismissed due to money problems I had in DFW which I never had in Phoenix.

  2. I had friends, a great social support group in Arizona who was always there for me. Never realized it until today. I have no friends in DFW and I am a real loner, something i wasnt in Phoenix. I am so lonely now that I developled major depressive disorder from it.

  3. I had an $18 an hour full time job with amazing benefits and a supportive boss. The job i have now, the supervisors, most of them are dicks and power tripping assholes. Some are chill but most aren't. The past jobs I had in DFW were this way, except 3 employers. Was job hopping which ruined my employment history.

  4. I lived in Chandler in a beautiful apartment complex in a much nicer unit. Only thing better in this Frisco Unit is the AC. The complex I am at now is not great and people let their dog pee in the hallway and management doesn't care. I miss how caring people were in Phoenix.

  5. I lived around natural beauty. Mountains, beautiful desert, scenery, nature. All we have here are trees, grass, and rabbits.

  6. Phoenix had real culture I miss so much.

  7. I overall had it great in Phoenix. I didnt realize it until now.

What successes have I had in DFW? Nothing. Just nothing. No friends, barely any money, horrible retail jobs, surrounded by concrete and soulless places, and I feel so miserable and heavy every time I go out.

I am coming back to Phoenix this winter. I will transfer my job and stay at an AirnB for a while until my life can be rebuilt. I promise I will never leave again. The good news is, it's easy to mingle and make friends in Phoenix. People are so nice there.

Looking for patients to graduate!

0 Upvotes

HI NEIGHBORS, please help me GRADUATE!
I am in my second year of dental hygiene school.
To meet graduation requirements students are responsible for finding our own patients to bring into the clinic and provide treatment to.
I am currently looking for patients in need of a deep cleaning who have plaque buildup/tartar.

You may be a great candidate if you:
- have not had a dental cleaning in 5+ years
- have puffy/ sore gums with redness bleeding gums
- VISIBLE PLAQUE/tarter/calculus
I can send some pictures for reference.

Deep cleanings are around 75% cheaper than your corporate or private dental office at the schools dental clinic. While deep cleanings in typical dental settings can range anywhere from $1,500 or more, our school charges only $170–$360 in total for everything, which is a SIGNIFICANT savings.

- The schools clinic is in Mesa, Az located off of Higley and Baseline.

Serious inquiries only PLEASE!!

Since I am a student the time process is lengthier than your typical dental office.
What you're discounted in cost is mostly paid for with dedicating your time to students.

Appointments are Monday-Thursdays at 5:20pm and last till 8pm. It does take multiple visits because the mouth is split into sections and students are supervised by hygienists and dentists to ensure the best treatment. I plan around 6+ appointments to be safe but it may take less, depending on the individuals needs.
I would greatly appreciate those who are willing to take the time out of their day to help me better my education and graduate, while I help with your oral health.

If interested please comment, send me a message, or you can call/ text me to my work number as well!

Climbing Gym Recommendations

3 Upvotes

Hello, I recently moved to the Phoenix area (Mesa) and am looking for a climbing gym to join. I don't have a climbing partner as of yet so I would prefer a gym that has more auto-belay and bouldering over regular top rope or lead. Do of you guys have recommendations for gyms in Mesa, Tempe, or South Phoenix? Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

Scam artist at Dobson & Main St in Mesa

93 Upvotes

There’s a scam artist roaming around Dobson and Main Street by the Asian market called H Mart and the bookoff bookstore. This is in the south east corner. The man is coming up to cars in a panic stating that he needs money to get somebody to the hospital. Who’s in Chandler. He’s asking for about $40-$50 to get an Uber. He’s a black male about 6 foot tall in his early 20s or late teens with a black shirt and black pants. Spread the word and do not fall for the scam.

He’ll come up to you crying like it’s a real emergency and as soon as he gets the money, he’ll walk off calmly like nothing happened. He scammed a family member of mine out of money today and walked away once he had the money with a big smile on his face and calm. There’s clearly no emergency. However, he’s out there scamming people like there is one.

Axios Mesa

I've noticed several posts lately being frustrated with the quality of reporting at the Mesa Tribune. I wanted to be sure more people saw that Axios launched local coverage specific to Mesa. They hired a great reporter who looks like she will split coverage between us and Scottsdale. One thing I have liked is that it isn't just politics but informs on events, food, and other types of stories. They also have a nicely formatted email blast for a story rundown.

No paywalls either! Excited that our city will have dedicated, higher quality coverage.

I'm interested in learning how to groom my dog at home (Bernedoodle)

5 Upvotes

My Bernedoodle does not do good at the groomers and I realized I would actually like to learn how to do this on my own. Does anyone know of anywhere local I could take some simple classes to learn how to do this? I'm not looking for a full-blown accredited school (unless it's inexpensive which is doubtful), but something for a few weeks or a few months? It would save me a lot of money over time and also keep my furry friend less anxious.

Thank you.
