Moved to the Huntsville/Madison area a while back to stay with family for some time, but I work from home so I honestly never really met many people around here.

Now I’m trying to get my own place and realized finding roommates is weirdly hard 😭 I’ve found a bunch of solid 2b2b apartments around Madison/Huntsville, but I have no idea where people actually find normal roommates besides random apps.

I’m 24, pretty chill, clean, mostly working, and down to have people over or parties sometimes too, just not every single day lol.

If anybody’s also looking to team up for a place, or even just has suggestions on where people usually find roommates around here, feel free to message me.

Looking for a dermatologist in Huntsville or Madison who has experience treating brown skin or skin of color. Any recommendations from personal experience? Especially for hyperpigmentation, acne scars and acne treatments, or sensitive skin and hair. Thanks!

For anyone who has been missing the lobster food truck they are finally coming back!

For context: I have four boys; 16, 12, 3 and 19 months. My three year old attends preschool four hours a day, four days a week. We have a standing appointment every Friday morning somewhere else. My spouse leaves at 6a and is home at 6:30p (he goes to the gym then to work).

When at home with my 19 month old, I spend time teaching, playing, and then working on schoolwork and other things that keeps me grounded. Once all kids are home it’s the typical routine of life with cleaning, cooking, prepping for appointments, school, bed, etc.

Between ADHD, peri, and having two kids back to back, I’m the heaviest I’ve been in my life and I’m just- tired. I try to go for walks as much as possible but some days, I’m not up for it. Some days, the littles are not up for it. I’ve joined gyms to either not go because my schedule doesn’t permit or was thrown off or because I’m tired. I have a treadmill and weights at home, however it never fails that when I carve out time to workout, I’m constantly interrupted by the kids and a 30 minute workout easily turns into a one hour workout that I’ve had to stop and start multiple times due to disruptions. Then I get frustrated and quit.

I toured the YMCA as an option but didn’t care for the childcare area as it seemed crowded and didn’t smell like it was cleaned regularly. I tried early gym mornings and late nights. I considered going back to those but honestly safety is and was my biggest concern (I may be overthinking). I’m ready to become active again but need some suggestions and maybe tips to get out of my own head and get started.

(I did look for this answer first I promise!) We currently rent at Charleston Oaks for way too much (over 1400 for a 2 bed and bath “renovated”). When we moved in 2 years ago, they had “renovated” and whoever they hired did the crappiest work. I’m talking cracked tiles and grout galore alongside painted tubs that are slippery death traps. We found a huge dead rat in the pool last year, the water is constantly getting turned off for work, and they “remodeled” the pool by adding incredibly steep steps that make no sense. Still, this apartment isn’t the worst we’ve lived in. Anyways, I’ve been looking everyday for a 3 bed 2 bath apartment zoned for liberty and JC. So far I have found sommerset, Madison landing, and hawthorn at the ridge. We have two cats and I want to rent an apartment, not a house. We love the apartment life, but have outgrown our current one. I don’t really want to consider the reserve right next to us, because the bus stop is pretty dangerous on Kyser. I walk my kid to the bus stop everyday and the other kids are great, but drivers will drive around stopped busses at ridiculous speeds. Am I missing any other apartments? Our budget is 1800.

Hello!

Does anyone remember the band Rickets Madcore that were based out of Madison, AL? They played the nu metal style with other bands like Muddle and Wifful? I'm searching for their music as there isn't anything online, or if anyone knew the bands members and I could reach out to them? I can't find anything or any leads!

If anyone could help, it would be very much appreciated. Thank you.
