My husband is working in Clinton, MS for the next year or 2. We are from Birmingham, AL so I have no clue about the news stations with the best weather coverage. I have Clinton set as a warning on my local weather app out of Birmingham, however it would be nice to know if there is a weather person there like we have in Birmingham. The man here knows every road and landmark & he has used them (including a barbecue joint & a well known strip club in the same sentence 😂).

I’m asking this because it was terrifying to wake up to tornado sirens from my app for the town that is 270 miles away that my husband is in & him being a deep sleeper.

Hey everyone. I’m trying to see if anyone knows of any resources or ideas that could help us right now.

My boyfriend unexpectedly took custody of his 10 month old son this week after the baby’s mother went to jail. He will have him for the next 18 months. This all happened very suddenly, and he wasn’t financially prepared to suddenly become a full-time parent overnight. All the daycares he has looked into are either full or too expensive for him to afford.

Right now he's about $200 short on rent due on the 1st even with me helping him out, I currently live in ohio (yes long distance). Normally my boyfriend works, he's an electrician, but at the moment he has nobody to watch the baby while he works so he hasn't been able to since getting the baby and I’m still in Ohio until June 10th before I can move down to Mississippi to help full time.

He also subleases instead of having a traditional lease and does not have paperwork for that it's all verbal agreement, and my boyfriend doesn’t currently have a social security card, which has made it difficult to qualify for a lot of assistance programs he's tried contacting.

At this point I’m mainly asking if anyone knows of:

• emergency rental assistance that works with subleases

• churches/community organizations that help in situations like this

• baby resources

• temporary childcare resources

• work-from-home opportunities

• honestly anything else we may not know about

He's trying really hard to keep things stable for the baby while adjusting to everything happening so suddenly.

Thank you for reading.

I’ve been looking for some good volunteer opportunities for my daughters (11 and 8) this summer throughout the metro and I’m coming up short. I keep running into 13+ or 16+ to volunteer.

I’m just trying to teach my kids how important it is to give back - does anyone have any suggestions or connections?

We’ve helped a lot at animal shelters; but I’d like to expand the horizons a bit.

I wanted to see where other transplants are from in Jackson, MS and what’s something you miss from your previous state???I’m from NJ and I miss Trader Joe’s lol

I currently work in tech but not making much and I’m looking for another part time job on the side to help supplement some income. Looking for serving positions, or really anything.

I have wavy brown hair (Scotch-Irish/English German heritage) and when I was a little kid, I had blonde hair but my hair got darker over time. Now that I’m in my early 40s, some of the blonde is starting to come back due to my hair being sun bleached and my hair is definitely a lighter shade of brown than 10 years ago.

I’m looking for any recommendations for a good stylist. I go to Supercuts by the Target in Flowood but my hair is easy to style with the right haircut (thick on the top, short on the sides and back). Looking for someone a bit more specialized than that who works great with my hair type.

Thanks!

About five months ago I posted here asking about the Planetarium. Everything I've been reading says it would open April, may or June. Now it's gone silent again.

I'm in Meridian. Can anyone local comment on it? Are there signs around the building announcing an opening date maybe? Or some news through the grapevine?

Hi all, both of my former pet sitters are no longer pet sitting due to new jobs. I’m looking for someone who would be ok coming out to Flowood once a day or every other day to look in on my very social cat. I don’t think he would enjoy being boarded. I will post on NextDoor but also thought Reddit might have some good suggestions.

I am planning on attending UMMC in August and I need a place to store motorcycles. I can either get a first floor apartment and store the motorcycles inside the apartment or try to find a place with an attached garage. Does anybody have any recommendations?

Trying to figure out how to advertise myself as a home baker. Hoping to make some extra income on the side and could use any tips!

Title basically. I‘m 24 years old. Out of college 3 years now. I‘m looking for friends in the Jackson area to hang out with. I’m into anime, manga, comics, and nerd culture in general. I also love doing art. Would love to meet up for a drink and a pizza or something. If you’re interested let me know!

Thinking of buying a cheap house in north Jackson, how is neighborhood between, n west st. Woodrow Wilson blvd and sunset Dr.

I never see people talking about this area good or bad and the houses can be pretty cheap, also is there a name for this area or do people just call it north Jackson

This looks like it could be fun. Anyone know what this tribute is like? I’m not finding much information.
