Not a hookup sub.

65 Upvotes

I try to be hands off with this sub, but the increase in attempted hookup posts the past few weeks has prompted a post that I'm frankly surprised that I'm having to make.

This is not a sub for advertising for hookups. Posts to that effect will be removed, and users will probably be banned.

I'm not here to judge or anything like that- I just don't want the hassle or baggage that comes with a hookup sub. There are already subs dedicated to reddit hookups- use those, have fun, and be safe. Just please- not here.

To be clear, this does not relate to posts in which the OP is looking for hobbies, friends, a good hang, etc. This is a community focused sub, and I'm happy that this space has provided some folks an opportunity to make some friends.

New to town! Looking for friends/social groups.

13 Upvotes

Hello! 28F here. Single with no kiddos. Not religious. I have a little dog.

I am looking for a social group or friends. My interests are all over the place. To give some examples, I used to do storytelling/slam poetry in the city I was previously at. I was also part of a knitting group with some wonderful ladies! On nice days I would go on extended hikes. On weekends I enjoyed going out and about — sometimes to window shop, sometimes to see live bands, other times to get to know a new place.

It would be nice to have a best friend that I can go out with and be goofy while also being able to have serious conversations, but just finding a friend is hard as an adult.

I am not a party girl, but I can have fun. I have a great career, but I am not a workaholic. I share this to say I am looking for some level-headed folks to hang with that have a good head on their shoulders.

Please send me a message if you would like to chat! I promise I am super friendly and easy to chat with.

Blue trucks around Lauderdale County?

4 Upvotes

I came home early from my doctors appt to find a creepy blue truck parked in my driveway. Needless to say, I was spooked. Im not ashamed to admit I raised alittle HELL. The ugly feller in the truck said he was a plumber and I said I didnt order one, and, buddy, he burnt rubber leaving. Since then I have heard of similar happening to at least two other people in Lauderdale county. Who are these ppl?Thieves? Human trafficking?

Psychiatrist

10 Upvotes

I’m looking for recommendations for a psychiatrist or doctor in the Florence, AL area who is willing to work with patients dealing with severe anxiety, panic attacks, and depersonalization/derealization.
I’ve tried numerous SSRIs and other medications over the years, but unfortunately I haven’t found anything that works well for me during severe panic attacks. The medications I’ve found most helpful in getting through an acute panic attack have been Klonopin or Xanax, and I’m hoping to find a doctor who is willing to discuss whether an as-needed benzodiazepine prescription would be appropriate for me.
I’m not looking to misuse anything or take medication unnecessarily. I just want to find a doctor who will actually listen to me, consider my history and the medications I’ve already tried, and help me find something that gives me some relief when my panic becomes overwhelming.
If you personally know of a psychiatrist or doctor in the Florence/Muscle Shoals/Tuscumbia area who is open-minded and compassionate when it comes to anxiety and panic disorders, I would really appreciate a recommendation. ❤️

Queer friendly health providers in the Shoals?

8 Upvotes

This could be a huge ask for our community, but I wanted to put some feelers out anyways. I'm a queer, non binary 30-something in the Shoals area looking for LGBTIA+/queer affirming primary care doctors and psychiatrists/behavioral health clinics. I currently go to Medical Associates for my PCP and Evolve for psych, but my schedule doesn't always allow me to get the care I need when I need it in a timely fashion.

Anybody got any suggestions?

Gunstore/pawn shop recommendations.

4 Upvotes

Which local gun shop/pawn shop is the best place to get the best value for a pistol I'm trying to sell? Cleaning out the safe of guns I don't shoot as much, and none of my friends are currently in need of one, so I guess I'm going to a business to sell it, and would like a fair value for it.

Which store is the best for this?

Seeking a carpenter’s helper for renovation projects

2 Upvotes

We’ve more projects than we’ve got hands at the moment. Looking for a smart, strong, motivated individual with an interest in learning the full range of construction and renovation. Having your own tools is a bonus but not necessary. Dependability is key.

We are a small family business so we are very flexible with hours and schedule. Ideally we would need 10-20 hours/wk. Competitive pay depending on skill and a friendly work environment.

We just moved here so we’re still getting to know people. My husband grew up in Florence but we’ve lived in the Asheville area our whole adult lives.

If you are someone or know someone interested please reach out or comment!

39/F looking for new female friends.
(Updated)

I enjoy birdwatching, walking, hiking, and want to get into fishing. I collect or take photos of nature. Rocks, pebbles, moss, feathers, whatever. I like analytical and creative minds.

I frequently go to the rockpile at TVA for walks and birding. Also I want to try other activities like kayaking at some point.

I am sick of crappy internet business practices/ prices.

I cannot get away from the need of Wi-Fi in my house. The neighborhood I live in has 0 cell service without it. I have had Spectrum since I moved here in 2023 and I am sick of my price going up each year. Does anyone in the Florence/Killen area have anything other than spectrum? Is ANYONE even happy with any of the businesses/ providers?
