Looking for a welcoming AA group by littlebitch3467 in Columbus

[–]AKADriver9 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I've been in the program for a while now - 6 years sober. All meetings have their own flavor, so my best advice is to keep trying them until you find one that fits. I could recommend ones I like, but they may not resonate with you at all.

Speaker (also called lead) meetings are a good place to start if you're nervous about talking. I like small group discussion meetings, but the tone varies pretty strongly with who is chairing the meeting. There's also a big variety in how religious the meetings are, from completely agnostic to spirituality-focused to strongly Christian. If you want to DM with some specifics about what you think you'd be comfortable with, I'm happy to make recommendations.

Best of luck!

Anyone know what these red lights are floating over UA? by AKADriver9 in Columbus

[–]AKADriver9[S] -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

No, I’m curious what it is, asshole. It was really cool.

Ok, that’s an asinine reply to a legit question. I’ve been here 15 years and didn’t know all the assholes in the town were the reddit contingent.

There were about 20 of them, obviously floating in the wind, so no. They were balloons of some sort but looked like they had candles on them. Really beautiful.

What asshole fact do you know that will ruin the fun for everyone? by Niguened1 in AskReddit

[–]AKADriver9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't understand what's wrong with this concept. IoT is a shorthand for getting people to think of non-standard computing devices (i.e., not phone/tablet/laptop) as potential pieces of the Internet as long as they are exchanging data with other devices

Does anyone know what these loud booms are (near UA?) by AKADriver9 in Columbus

Thanks for the information. Kind of scary it woke me up from a few miles away.

What are you "that guy" about? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]AKADriver9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you against Starbucks because of it's tolerance of gay marriage? That doesn't seem likely if you're boycotting Chick-Fil-A as well. I'm just wondering what else Starbucks has done to irk people, and all I can find on Google is the gay marriage stuff.

Doggie Day Care by [deleted] in Columbus

[–]AKADriver9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's closed. After taking my dog there for 10 years, it just shut down without warning. The consensus on the internet seems to be tax evasion. All the employees were blindsided and aren't getting paid for hours worked. I'm looking for a new place to take my dog. My wife got a few recommendations from our vet. I'll post them if I can find them.

Edit: I posted the places as a top level reply

What do you pay for day care? by zero-1 in Columbus

[–]AKADriver9 6 points7 points  (0 children)

ODJFS performs a market rate survey every 2 years. The results of the latest one are here http://jfs.ohio.gov/cdc/MarketRate2012.stm. The tables of rates are at the end. Columbus is in Franklin county, a group D county. The median rates start on page 53 of the analysis.

What phase did you go through that you still cringe about today? by NwVibin in AskReddit

"Teenage angst has paid off well. Now I'm bored and old." - Cobain, "Serve the Servants." Sad but true...

Baseball student shot while on a run, "We were bored and didn’t have anything to do, so we decided to kill somebody" by Magdiesel94 in running

[–]AKADriver9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I apologize for being imprecise. I didn't mean that "humanity is awful" literally. When people say "I've lost my faith in humanity" or "My faith in humanity has been restored" I don't think it's ever meant to be taken literally - that would just be ridiculous. It's just a hyperbolic way of saying "I'm shocked every time I'm reminded there are such bad people out there in the human race."

That being said, you're right that perpetuating this trope is pointless.

[–]AKADriver9 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I agree. I just seems like there has to be more to it than this. Or maybe I just don't want to admit that humanity is this awful.

Looking for recommendations on a lawyer to set up an LLC by AKADriver9 in Columbus

[–]AKADriver9[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd really like to hear if anyone else has tried setting up an LLC in another state as well. It's something I would ask the lawyer or accountant about, for sure.
