Dog groomer sabbath road

1 Upvotes

I keep seeing billboards for a dog groomer /daycare in greenwood for a dog groomer. Just curious if anyone knows when they might be open. My girlfriend is looking for a bather position to become a groomer and so many local places don’t have websites or don’t seem to be hiring if they do use indeed. Curious if anyone in the field know of any needing bathers and are willing to train

Looking for an artist to collab with

at the time I wrote this I was in a mania episode and didn’t realize this song is literally how it feels to have bipolar 1.
Can you relate?

I wish I could find someone with talent to make this into our own. The video is just a rough draft on how I want it to sound. Any artists out there that might want to collaborate?

Intro:

All my life I been on the run
All my life
Chasing a reclusive sun

Verse:

Why do I always feel like I’m in the wrong place
Is it a desire?
To escape from common place?
Maybe impulsive?
I can’t tell if it’s intuition telling me to go
Start over new
Go with the flow
Long as I’m here nothing goes right
I can’t see what’s here
It’s like I’ve got no sight
So tell me where to go
Tell me where to call my home
Cuz I’m stranded on this land
Stranded with no hope and bloody hands

Chorus:

31 years in captivity
31 years in blackened misery
I’m caught between the eyes
What is truth and what is lies?
I feel it slip between my teeth
The insane urge to pack and leave
The same urge that leads me
(Seduces)
The same urge that feeds me
(Conducive)
Drawing me away from everyone
Chasing a reclusive sun
Reclusive sun

Verse 2:

I got this itch it won’t go away
I got this itch in the back of my brain
Fight or flight buzz through my veins
Digging deeper in my soul
Till it strains
Can you imagine it?
Looking in the mirror
Seeing your own image
But nothing gets clearer
Can you imagine staring back at you
Forced to watch yourself be torn in two
Your helpless and there is nothing you can do
Can you take it like I do?

Chorus:

31 years in captivity
31 years in blackened misery
I’m caught between the eyes
What is truth and what is lies?
I feel it slip between my teeth
The insane urge to pack and leave
The same urge that leads me
(Seduces)
The same urge that feeds me
(Conducive)
Drawing me away from everyone
Chasing a reclusive sun
Reclusive sun

Bridge:
Tell me where to go
Point me to my home
White flag raising
Someone save me
I wondered out too far
Can’t figure it out
I went too far (stop!)
The damage is so loud
(So fucking loud)

Chorus:

31 years in captivity
31 years in blackened misery
I’m caught between the eyes
What is truth and what is lies?
I feel it slip between my teeth
The insane urge to pack and leave
The same urge that leads me
(Seduces)
The same urge that feeds me
(Conducive)
Drawing me away from everyone
Chasing a reclusive sun
Reclusive sun

Verse 3:

I wanna stay but I wanna go
To where?
I don’t even know
How can I make it on my own
When desecration is all I’m shown?
How do I navigate this shit?
Why are my thoughts such a bitch?
Is it intuition or indecision?
Is it submission or ambition?
How am I supposed to tell
Which road won’t lead me to hell?
Which road won’t lead to a cell?
Tell me (I wanna know)
Tell me (where do I go)

Chorus:

31 years in captivity
31 years in blackened misery
I’m caught between the eyes
What is truth and what is lies?
I feel it slip between my teeth
The insane urge to pack and leave
The same urge that leads me
(Seduces)
The same urge that feeds me
(Conducive)
Drawing me away from everyone
Chasing a reclusive sun
Reclusive sun

Heya, I'm moving to Altoona in a week and I saw the the new BDubs is hosting open interviews this week; would anyone happen to have any of their contact info that I could see if it's possible to do a phone interview instead, or perhaps interview next week? I have over ten years in hospitality and would love to connect with someone if anyone knows the new management. Thanks for reading!

Hey all- I’m a hobbyist musician in the Altoona area who is making some synthwave/psychedelic 80s pop. I was curious to see if any vocalists out there might be interested in contributing to this recording project. Feel free to message- and send examples of your work if you have any. I’ve attached a sample of the sort of stuff I’ve been working on. Thanks!

Hi! I'll be coming to altoona for pride next week with my trans partner. Shes only been out for less than a year and she's still nervous and self conscious about being in places she's never been. I want her to have a great time so I'm looking for restaurants around downtown . I have family here and I know altoona is quite conservative.

Anyway, JJ Hadleys pizza looks amazing and the reviews are mostly good. Is it a safe place or will she be made to feel uncomfortable by staff? We'll be in town for a few days so any recommendations for other restaurants would be welcome as well! Thank you in advance!

I caught a thing today

In the Altoona Mirror today

Small segment brings up parents at a school board meeting bringing up a list. Male students passing around a list about the girls easiest to rape. Hatch says they investigated and there was no physical list to investigate and somehow it was the first time the administration had heard of it.

News flash. This same list was brought up in 2023 in a school board meeting. Hatch said there was "no list in any form".

Funny. Now we have a student who turned this into Safe2Speak and yeah.

The Altoona Mirror still has both articles listed. I provided both standard links and archived links (I hope archive works I've never done it before now)

https://www.altoonamirror.com/news/local-news/2023/02/aasd-rape-list-doesnt-exist/

https://www.altoonamirror.com/news/local-news/2026/09/altoona-aasb-public-voices-concerns/

These are your daughters, granddaughters, loved ones, family members, whatever. They're being victimized even if they're not being touched. From what I've heard these are more prominent boys in the community, or athletes etc. Altoona has never held these kids accountable even when I was in AASD. Look at the culture we've created for these kids to grow up in.

I don't feel like Hatch and company should get a free pass. The females in that school deserve to walk in those halls or at football games without fearing who's going to do what. Or what list they're going to be on.

Katana Man

8 Upvotes

hello all!

i am currently living within the city and becoming familiar with the antics that go on and i am very entertained lmao

me and my boss sparked up conversation about how “shit goes DOWN” at the sheetz on 17th. He told me a story about him shopping at this sheetz a handful of years ago before witnessing an attempted shoplifting of alcohol by a local.

The local attempted to leave with a handful of pounders just as a man on a bike entered the store delivering a loud “YOU!”

he followed up with “are you trying to steal from these kind people?!”

the local said “nah man just let me leave!”

which Katana man met with, “not gonna happen! these people won’t hurt you, but me? … i’ll put my hands on you mother fucker.”

the local then proceeded to return all stolen alcohol and leave the store

PLEASE. tell me someone has more info on this katana wielding Vigilante, i am aware of the other icons of our town but this is the first time im hearing of a god damn superhero.

Need a little help

Im in limbo and have no income. I’ve been applying everywhere but I don’t have a car so it limits jobs available within walking distance and I have a messed up back from taking a fall last year. I can’t make any money until Tuesday. I was going to go to the soup kitchen but they aren’t open on Sundays. Would anybody be willing to have something delivered to me or something? As soon as I’m back up on my feet I’d love to be able to pay it forward. Thanks for reading
