Boyfriend is moving temporarily to Montgomery for a few months. We're looking for an affordable and safe area for him to stay come September. Can anyone tell us about this area where the red pin is? Thanks for your help! EDIT: He’s moving there for work short term, he’ll be working a lot of hours. He needs to be there the first week of September through mid-November. Something furnished, a kitchen would be great. We’ve looked at a few places on airbnb but seems expensive. He said he might be open to a roommate. Is it realistic to find something under $2k/month or nah?

Just moved here a few months ago and looking for recommendations for your favorite Mac and cheese go-to restaurant? The last request for this I could find was three years ago on here so would like to see if there are updates? Thanks!

New to Phoenix. Found out my mercy care coverage doesn’t include dental coverage unless it’s an emergency (no vision either). What do folks do for affordable regular dental cleanings? Saw Somos Dental could be an option. Any advice would be most appreciated!

I’m 37F and just diagnosed with Autism a few months ago, after two decades of different diagnoses all to lead me here. The grief has been unbearable at times. Part of me is still in denial. The other part of me knows I’ve been in burnout (after I learned what burnout meant). But in one month, it will be two years that I haven’t worked. I feel terrible about it. I keep hearing about the feelings of joy and relief others get and I’m admittedly very envious of those emotions. Those in the community have congratulated me but I feel broken. My whole sense of identity is turned upside down. I’m crushed, confused, and most of all, wish I could take a break from thinking. My brain never stops and I’m just so tired. I miss the old me. But the mask has been coming off and with it, many tears. So many tears. I’m trying to be gentle with myself but I’m at a loss and wish I could find a way to repair without these heavy emotions. Just needed to get this off my chest. Thanks for anyone who read this. I wish nothing but kindness and encouragement for everyone here.
