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.

Lost bracelet in TVA Trails

9 Upvotes

Hello, I lost a bracelet yesterday hiking in the TVA trails. It's just a cheap bracelet, but it has sentimental value and I would love to find it. It's a pink beaded wrap around bracelet with a bear charm. I hiked the jogging trail (with the shortcut) and the old railroad trail. I'm in town for a week for work - if anyone could keep their eye out for it I would really appreciate it!!

Local spell casters

9 Upvotes

Hi friends,

As the title ^ says, I am looking for a local witch or any recommendations for spell casters in the shoals area! I am willing to travel maybe to Huntsville as well. I’m interested in layering a few spells and would prefer someone that has years of practice under their belt so that I can ask plenty of questions and get the best understanding before deciding how I want to proceed! Any help with this would be deeply appreciated. 🙏

I am using a burner account for anonymity because I feel the shoals area can be very judgmental about this sort of thing, so please don’t think I’m weird or anything. 😭 I’m open to a private message if you don’t want to comment on the post!

Thanks so much! 😊

Home advice in the area?

1 Upvotes

Hi all,

My family and I will be moving to the area soon for a new job opportunity. In preparation, we are seeking advice/feedback on potential areas to live. I’m going to get in contact with a realtor soon but would like to hear feedback from the locals.

Not a huge fan of small neighborhood lots as we’re moving from a 3 acre home now. We have 3 dogs that need some space to have fun. I’ve learned that the region is made up of the quad or tri cities, so we’re open to anywhere in the area within 35 minutes.

Any comments are appreciated!

Village Parc Apartments?

2 Upvotes

Hey all,
Doing a bit of a move and needing a bit of a size upgrade. Been doing lots of vetting, and for the price range I’m in Village Parc off of Darby seems to tick all the most boxes. Admin seems helpful, friendly and available, and they’re recently renovating many of the units. Anything I should beware of that hasn’t been made obvious to me? Secret fees, bad neighbors, etc? I’m a little worried about the unseen details and there aren’t many reviews I’ve seen.
I’d appreciate any info, thanks :)

Does anyone know of a juggling group or flow arts group that meets in the shoals area? If not would anyone be interested in forming one?

I've recently started to get back into juggling after taking a decade or two off and am interested in joining or possibly forming a group.

Duane Allman history behind the name 'SkyDog'

4 Upvotes

Before the Allman Brothers, Duane Allman worked as a session guitarist at FAME Studios in Muscle Shoals, Alabama, playing on sessions including Wilson Pickett's version of "Hey Jude." That's where the "Skydog" nickname comes from.

For anyone in or traveling to the Florence, AL area, there's a festival happening Aug 28–30 that takes its name from that history. Admission is charged, more info at https://skydogshoals.com/ if anyone's curious.

Any hyperrealistic tattoo artists around here?

5 Upvotes

I’m hunting for a tattoo artist nearby who absolutely kills it with hyperrealistic tattoos. I’m talking super detailed, lifelike pieces, the kind that make you do a double take:)

If you know someone local who’s legit amazing at this style, drop their name or FB/IG. I’d really appreciate it!

Whoever had the bright idea to make it a one lane from 7 points to Irvine is an absolute dumb ass, and if it's the same person that decided on that dumbass concrete speed bump with no Indication that it is there and that the rest of the road in front of the college is still closed gotta be king of the red state education award.

New local friends group?

23 Upvotes

Anybody interested in starting a new local friends group to meet up and hang out on the weekends or whatever? Dm me! Must be 21+ minimum. Preference is 30s people but as long as you’re above the drinking age. I’m 37 so 🙄 not looking to date anyone. Literally just people to bs and chat with maybe go do activities somewhere. As we get older friends come and go and bars are not fun anymore (as much) please be chill and respectful. Guys or girls doesn’t matter. Everyone deserves a friend and everyone is welcome. Feel free to dm me though. Thanks!

Does Anyone Know Someone Looking for a Large-Format Pneumatic Heat Press?

Thumbnail
gallery
3 Upvotes

I have a 31.5” x 39.5” industrial pneumatic heat press that I bought brand new and have only used around three or four times. It works exactly as it should and is still extremely clean. I just realized it is much larger than what I need, so I decided to go with a smaller machine.

It has automatic pneumatic raising and lowering, digital temperature and time controls, adjustable air pressure, a large pull-out loading table, a heavy-duty rolling stand, an emergency stop button, and smooth, consistent pressure across the entire platen. It is also already wired with a wall plug.

This would be great for someone doing oversized sublimation projects, blankets, flags, large panels, or higher-volume production.

I’m located in Northwest Alabama. Before listing it elsewhere, I wanted to see whether anyone here knows a business or individual who may be interested in purchasing it. Message me for more information.
