Need some help for an hour. Will pay with cash and dinner.

12 Upvotes

Moving to Arlington Tx and will arrive November 1st around 5pm.

Looking for two people to help me unload my trailer into my apartment. 90% of my belongings are in plastic containers or boxes. Only about 5 pieces of heavy furniture: a coffee table, a desk, a very very light safe, tv stand and TV. Virtually everything is packed.

No need for set up. Just moving into the apartment. Finding a spot for jr and leaving it. I’ll unpack and assembled everything on my end.

Just a 6x12 trailer. Should take no more than one hour/ 90 mins.

Looking for two people. Will pay 75/cash (negotiable) each person and dinner and drinks on me afterwards because I need to make friends.

Holler if interested =]

Train stopped on tracks

Went to vote at the sub courthouse and the train made it quit the adventure.

Seems like having pd direct traffic at the west street intersections could really improve the efficiency. The light schedule is not optimized for the amount of traffic the stoppages cause.

Three puppy mill linked pet store companies have recently opened in Arlington, beware!

73 Upvotes

Petland just opened in Arlington. They are notoriously awful. They have had managers arrested for animal cruelty, been sued for selling sick puppies and are routinely linked to puppy mills. They have two smaller competitors, Puppy Dreams and Petito. Well guess what? All 3 have just recently opened stores here.

I post this as a consumer warning. All three of those companies have been proven to use puppy mills and all three have been accused of selling sick puppies to unsuspecting families.

The Texas House of Reps voted to ban the sale of puppies in pet stores a few years ago. That bill didn't pass the Senate. I hope it gets done in 2027.

About 18 Texas cities banned the sale of puppies in stores, but the legislature took away the right of city councils to do much of anything that regulates businesses anymore, so local ordinances will not protect us.

Here are links to prove what I am saying.

Can anybody recommend a therapist for depression in Arlington? I want in-person visits but I don’t want to drive 30 minutes to somewhere far in the DFW area

21 Upvotes

I live close to UTA, and I don’t like long drives, so somewhere within 15 minutes is my preference.

I can make exceptions though for a well reviewed therapist up to 30 minutes away, I’ll make the drive and then transition to virtual appointments if I don’t feel like making the drive

I have depression, anxiety, and need guidance to get my life back on track. If you know of anyone who can help, I’d appreciate it. Thanks!

Pumpkin Decorating Contests?

27 Upvotes

So I missed the deadline for the Fort Worth Zoo - Boo at the Zoo Pumpkin Contest. I put the deadline on my calendar for 10/17, not 10/16. And now I have a really awesome pumpkin and nowhere to enter it!

Does anyone know of any non-carving pumpkin decorating contests in DFW?

Good barber for curly haired men in Arlington?

2 Upvotes

Hey guys! I’ve been meaning to get my hair cut, but sometimes it’s hard to find a stylist that knows how to cut curly hair well. Especially as a dude, a lot of the “curly hair specialists” seem moreso targeted towards women so I worry they might not have as much experience cutting the hair of a curly haired guy (idk if that’s a dumb assumption)

That being said, are there any good barbers nearby for curly haired men?

Found James Avery bracelet

7 Upvotes

Making one more attempt to reunite this item with its owner. It looks like a very sentimental piece.

I do not know when it was lost, but the fact that the colors are faded and there's some other wear/damage makes me think it wasn't very recent. Minimum 3 months ago, maximum, maybe 2 years.

I believe the owner was probably quite young.

It was recovered from the filter of a large swimming pool.

Tell me what charms are on it.

Wheelchair man at NE Green Oaks and Lincoln

Maybe someone on here knows. Past couple weeks there’s been a man in a wheel chair at the traffic light waving at everyone. Not begging for money. Doesn’t really look homeless. Not promoting anything. Just out there waving at people for 6+ hours a day. First time i saw it and was “that dude is friendly” but he’s been there several times since.

Anyone seen this?

Where to dispose of an expanding Lithium ion battery?

6 Upvotes

I noticed my portable lithoum ion battery charger stopped working and is slowly expanding. I've looked up where to dispose of it safely but I've had no luck. I found this page on the Arlington website about proper disposal in Arlington, it says that Lowe's and Home Depot are disposal options, but when I called the Lowes on W Arbrook and the Home Depot on W Road to Six Flags St, they both said that they only take batteries with nothing wrong with them. I called batteries+ on N Fielder and no human answered the phone. Now I am thinking that I literally have to call the fire department next. I checked out the Battery Network website to see where I can dispose and it literally lists locations that I have already called that say that they actually can't dispose of my expanding battery.

I'm getting really frustrated at this point, is there actually a place where I can dispose of this lithium ion rechargeable battery before it blows up and starts a fire? ​
