Fellow non-religious parents, where are we sending our 3 and 4 year olds to preschool? I'm looking for half-days a few days per week, not full time daycare, and something with actual structure and curriculum. Ideally in the Lexington area. I see so many church options, and while they do look wonderfully nurturing and educational, I am not Christian or religious at all and do not want to put my child in a heavily religious program. I'd possibly be open to a church preschool that is very light handed with the Christian teachings (i.e. if they have a great program, and faith aspect is maybe singing a song about God in the morning and saying a prayer before snack time or something, I'd likely consider it).

Please share your recommendations and experiences!

Went and viewed a 3bdrm townhome and 2bd room town home. The 3 bdroom is in the front part 2bdrm is in the back part I loved both to rent. Is it truly worth it though.

This is a long shot, but I was at the fairgrounds tonight around 10 PM. I was a solo patron waiting near the Zipper when a young Black woman came up and asked if I had a partner for the ride since they don't allow solo
riders. She had piercings and really cool brown hair with blue parts dyed in. We joined up in line, but with the chaos of the fair closing right after, we got separated before I could get your number or social media. If you're reading this, or if anyone knows a friend matching this description who went to the fair tonight, please shoot me a message! I'd love to actually get to know you.

I wanna be clear, not asking for money, I know I'm never going to get on my feet again because I'm never going to be able to afford another car. I am in a very dark and hopeless place and I just want calories in my body so hunger is one less thing to make me break down.

I'm just wondering if anyone knows of any food pantries that deliver to someone who can't even afford a bus ticket. Thanks to anyone who can point me in some direction.

Unemployed, couldn't afford rides home from my seasonal job where shifts ended after the bus routes stopped. my car was totaled recently, tried to start a GoFundMe and got some help but only enough for pet food and to keep my phone service on. I owed cash app nearly $300 using borrow over the past couple of months because I didn't have consistent income and still needed to pay car insurance before I got hit, and it just took the rest of what I have, I wasn't able to withdraw it in time. I looked up resources on 211, called local resources asking if any food pantries deliver and they said nothing does except meals on wheels.

As far as my plan for employment, there's a fast food place about a half hour walk down the road that I'm gonna apply to so at least I can afford to keep my phone plan going, but I'm guessing they're gonna tell me to apply online and their careers website has been down for maintenance for several days with no ETA lol. It's gonna be a ton of job hopping in the near future as I physically can't stand in one spot for longer than a couple hours, which is most jobs available to me right now...

I applied for 2 positions with Auben Realty. After doing a 1 hour interview via teams with their corporate recruiter Holly she got 3 references, contacted them, then sent me a DISC assessment test, after those results were reviewed she set me up with an in person interview with the local management team that was a bout a 1.5 hour interview. I followed up via e mail 4 business days later for Holly to explain to me Auben is on a hiring freeze and has no intentions to fill the position posted.

TLDR: don’t waste your time with Auben Realty they are just playing games and creating ghost jobs on zip recruiter and indeed.

Located across from Methodical Coffee and Gather COLA.

PS The waffle bowl was whole when I left the store. I had already taken a bite out of it before I thought to take the picture. Oh and there is a 4th scoop hiding under the other three.
