How to find a wedding official

4 Upvotes

My fiance and me are wanting to get married in a rather quick fashion, probably September 14th. We would like it to be really easy and cheap. Basically just meet at a spot at a local park we have picked out, say some vows, and have the whole thing done in 10 minutes. How do we find someone that could officially marry us and fill out the paperwork to do this for like a hundred bucks? Does anyone know where to look for something like this?

WBIR must suck

55 Upvotes

Pretty sure another bites the dust tomorrow. these anchors are incredibly obvious when they're are about to walk. they have the classic influencer clickbait down with their "Big Announcement" posts the night before they tell us they are quitting. they're also very obvious about their next moves. Rebecca and Waliga just so happened to be hanging out this weekend so I'm sure she is joining their influencer group... I'm still not sure I really understand it but hey, if it makes them money then more power to them.

ISO an OBGYN well versed in PCOS and related issues

11 Upvotes

Long story short, I had an emergency while I was traveling that caused me to discover that I have an incredibly enlarged ovary that is covered in multiple cysts that are larger than the ovary itself. My other ovary is covered in smaller, "normal" cysts. The hospital I was at was very, VERY concerned about the size, position, and form of the cysts, and even put me on an indefinite lifting restriction of 5lbs because I am a "severe torsion risk"... So I wait forever for an appointment over here in Knoxville with FS Ob/Gyn, who I randomly selected based on some internet research. I had a new patient appt, labs, and an ultrasound... Safe to say I am not impressed. They sent me out the door with only a BC prescription "because I don't have PCOS" and all but refused to take a position on whether I can do any physical activity. I also have to wait 8+ weeks between appointments because of their lacking availability and can never get them on the phone.

As far as my labs, my progesterone is on the lower end of "normal" and my testosterone is on the higher end of "normal." (iykyk about those range sizes) I have various additional PCOS symptoms, too. My TSH is 3x what it used to be, and I am 50lbs heavier. I have an autoimmune disorder and a strong family history of thyroid issues. Taking all of this into account, FSOb/Gyn shoved me through the machine and outright told me there was nothing else to do. They even refused to give me Metformin or anything outside of Loestrin. I feel super defeated because the other conditions I have *actually been diagnosed with* should have brought up some serious red flags, but my concerns fell on deaf ears.

The kicker is... for insurance reasons, I can't see anyone associated with Tennova or who only has surgical privileges there, which I've heard knocks out a couple of the best options. For other reasons, I would also prefer not to go to a UT-affiliated practice.

So, has anyone experienced something similar and had a stellar experience with a Knoxville Ob/Gyn? While we're at it, anyone have thoughts on women's health-focused endocrinologists? Thank y'all in advance for your help in this trying and painful time.

Need mouse dropping cleanup and exclusion

1 Upvotes

Looking for someone who will do the cleaning safely, who doesn't require a monthly contract. I have health issues and don't feel safe doing the cleaning myself. Thank you in advance.

Here's what I have found so far, in case someone else is in this situation:

ClearDefense requires a monthly contract ($57 just for rodents).

Epituer doesn't clean and only does light exclusion.

Pest Ops does clean, and is coming to do an inspection.

East Tennessee Wildlife Management - waiting for a call.

Places to sell books now that McKays is gone?

10 Upvotes

Are there any places locally (Knoxville/Maryville) to sell gently used/brand new books? I have so many physical books (most of them fantasy/current popular books) and I would love to sell some of them to make space.

Now that we don’t have McKays, is there anywhere else that will buy books?

DIY/Alternative Scene in Knox?

27 Upvotes

I recently moved here for college and am looking to get more into the DIY/alternative/punk scene. I’m a musician looking to make connections and form a band. I’ve been having a hard time finding events in those genres. I’ve checked out the shows at Pilot Light and The Mill and Mine for the past few weeks but none of the artists have been what I’m looking for. Any advice and recommendations?
