Hey neighbors! My dad served in Desert Storm and has some PTSD from his time in Iraq. He's told us he's ready to talk to someone about it. Do any Veterans have someone they can recommend? Bonus points if they happen to be in DeSoto County or perhaps Collierville/Germantown area.

I appreciate any help pointing us in the right direction!

Does anyone have any affordable suggestions for me and my gal to do over memorial day weekend here in memphis or surrounding areas?

Hello there, I was wondering if there’s any groups and/or clubs involving reading, writing, poetry, or even classical studies in the Memphis area. I’m kinda a lone wolf here and would love to find a community of artists or likeminded individuals to hang out with. Does anyone here know of any groups like this?

Does anyone know where you can get Palestinian desserts, or Middle Eastern?

Hey y'all, I have tried this before and want to give it another shot to see if I can really get it off the ground. There's already a Discord set up, that some of you are likely already in, called "wonderful women of memphis". I am not the one who originally created it, but I have full admin rights to run it.

I'd love to use it to plan meetups and stuff like that, as I really like meeting new people, and I see posts in here all the time about wanting to make friends. I can't dedicate the time necessary to fully run it on my own, but I'd love for it to work.

Anyway, the link is below. There's a few questions to answer before joining and I will approve people as I can. If you'd be interested in helping to run something like this, please message me in Discord (not on here) and we can talk about it! I'd love to meet some fellow Memphis reddit girlies!

Hi all,
I’m based in collierville but willing to travel out for a good massage. I’ve been experiencing tightness in my upper body and some sore muscles from working out so a place that does good sports massage and digs in deep would be amazing. I’ve tried out a few places but they never are able to give me the pressure I’m looking for

Thanks in advance!

I have applied for several positions including security officer roles and clinical research associate. Has anyone had experience applying to jobs under these department? How has the process been? My applications are under “submitted” status but postings no longer accepting applications. What’s timeline of reviews? Also, do senior security officers work 3 12-hour shifts weekly instead of 8 hour shifts?

I have a 2021 Chevy trailblazer. I watched a YouTube video of how to put the battery in but it looks super complicated . Lots of screws to unscrew. I ordered the battery from O'Reilly and it will be at my apartment on Saturday. Is there a good mobile mechanic I can get to put it in? What do you suggest? I'm in midtown

Tonight is the first evening that I heard cicadas this year. Ahhhhh…I love the sound of them (this is awesome)

Hey y’all! Just throwing a bone…someone may know something or someone. Maybe, maybe not. But, I am a teacher here and work at a great school. Love the school, community, and job. However…they do not pay a livable wage. I’m a single 27F and am barely making it. I thought I was going to work at the school’s summer camp to try to get some extra money this summer, but found out that’s not happening for me. I know it’s late to try to find a job for the summer now, but does anybody know of anything??? I am a certified teacher, I have sales experience, I have wine/bar experience, I have (some) lab experience. Please let me know, I’m pretty open to a lot at this point. Thank y’all in advance!

Yep, it’s feral cat litters season AKA Shed is a Kitten Palace. Spay Memphis feral TNR policies now are wildly arcane. We are planning to trap another pregnant feral cat but if we don’t get her trapped on the right day (or even if we do), we might be S.O.L.

So, any suggestions in the entire Metro Memphis area for vets who will spay/neuter 2 month old kittens (pretty socialized to us) and feral cats (1 pregnant female ASAP and 1 not pregnant-for-now female) for free or low cost? We’d have to bring the adult ferals in traps of course.

Also interested low cost vaccines etc. Thanks in advance!

Hi all,

I'm visiting the Bass Pro in Memphis next week to run a free beginner bowfishing class. Goal is to bring an outdoor experience to those who typically don't get a chance to do these activities (I'm from NYC and never had these opps growing up).

Since I know nothing about the city, hoping someone can help direct me to some popular Facebook groups that I can share the event to (ages 18+). Would make for a great free date, guys/gals get together, family bonding activity. We will not be shooting at real fish.

Thanks,
Ken

These NeeDohs, dumplings, etc are all the rage right now. I get it. My daughter has used little fidget toys for a long time. It’s just something she uses for anxiety. She has these keyboard clicky things, squishies (I can’t believes I’m typing these words) actual rings that spin, etc. Now that they are trendy, everywhere is constantly sold out. Does any one have any hidden gems in town where we can find things like these? We have gotten some off of Amazon but my daughter likes to physically hold them before she buys them (again it’s an actual sensory thing for her). Again I know people will probably give me grief, but I’m a single dad trying my best to raise some awesome daughters. It’s not about the current trend. Thanks!

Looking to host a small gathering of people but I have no idea where to look. Doesn’t need to be a restaurant necessarily, and not looking to spend too much money renting a space out. It would be 20 people max.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Hi,

As the title says I am looking for construction painting/painting apprenticeships. I tried every single contact on the TN apprenticeship website for painting to no avail, most of the contacts are no longer in service. Including the one that pops up on Google as "MEMPHIS PAINTERS JAC," this one has a summer avenue address that no longer works and also the go build Tennessee email that is listed on the website for contact is unfortunately invalid :( All help is appreciated, really ready to start learning and working as a construction painter. Even jobs that are providing training are much appreciated :)

Thanks
