To the short brunette with French pig tail braids (I think that's an accurate description), blue shorts, tattoo on a hip. You were on the leg press, I was in the pink tank with light camo shorts on the ab machine across from you. I made sure to actively look everywhere EXCEPT your direction as much as possible (I try to be NOT that guy, which is also why I didn't speak), but it seemed like you were doing the opposite?? If you find this, you are incredibly cute, and whatever perfume you had on was amazing! I could smell it several machines away lol. You were doing fine without a partner, so I won't offer that, but if you ever want to grab a PWO meal or something, drop me a message or approach me if you see me (I will NOT be approaching you and becoming a statistic). Happy lifting and keep at it, you look great! 💪💪

Sumter school district confiscated 730 vapes this school year. If there's approximately 7,000 students in the county middle and high schools, they confiscated about 1 vape per every 100 students.

Hey everyone,

I wanted to share a grassroots project I started recently called Print 4 Good Florence.

Moving through the foster care system can be incredibly chaotic and stressful for kids, who often have to move between homes with very few personal belongings. I wanted to use my printer to create something durable, highly tactile, and a little bit magical that these kids can keep as a constant companion through big transitions.

This week, I officially finished processing my first major milestone: a "hoard" of 11 fully articulated flexi-dragons printed in varying colorful filaments.

Currently I'm running everything off a single machine, which means the print bed is pulling double duty keeping up with demand. My goal is to eventually scale up to a second high-speed printer so we can make sure no child entering the system locally has to wait for a friend to hold onto.

If you’re a hobbyist in the SC area and want to join the maker network, or if you just want to see the timelapses of these guys coming to life, you can check out our progress on Facebook at Print 4 Good Florence.

Just wanted to share some positive maker news today! Let me know what color combinations I should try on the next batch. 🛠️✨

Anyone know of a small frame lady in Florence with small car stealing from vehicles?

Hi! Does anyone have any sideboards/buffets, console/entryway tables for sale? Or know of where to get one for a good price? Also where would be the best place to look for sectionals?
