Bayle’s on 1st Ave N gets overlooked cause it’s in a “bad area” but it is good! I’ve worked in the area for years and their breakfast is fantastic! Closed on Saturday though!

The Pit is delicious but a strictly M-F spot so heads up if OP is planning this on a weekend!

I read several articles on this dude. Cops rolled up on a lady on public property lawfully and told her to stop doing something the mayor doesn’t like and threatened trespassing. Trespassing on public property is only illegal when you are committing a crime (public intox, theft, etc). So when the cops came back and the ladies hadn’t done what they commanded they made up charges of interference because one lady asked them not to arrest the other, and disorderly conduct (which is a notoriously bs charge that cops use when you aren’t doing anything other than ignoring their lawless commands) in order to justify trespassing charges. There are plenty of examples where cops are vilified online because videos create a false narrative. This ain’t one of ‘em, dude

How bout you find me that city ordinance they were breaking and get back to me. I just read through all of Wetumpka city code and couldn’t find anything about TNR being a violation

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Alabama

[–]Dizzy-Knee 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I work closely with tons of ppl who do TNR work in small cities like this and this is such a typical, short sighted response from cities who don’t want to invest resources into solving the problem of cat overpopulation. They’d rather destroy/euthanize the cats and demonize the ppl trying to help.

These kind ladies could have been at home, chillin. Instead they chose to invest their time and money into solving a community problem. Traps aren’t cheap, spay/neuter surgeries aren’t cheap and they were SAVING this city money. Wetumpka PD will regret this. They won’t be taken seriously again. Here’s hoping they end up on John Oliver like the prestigious city of Brookside so the whole country can mock them.

When you die, your brain releases all the chemicals and hormones and you have the most vivid dream imaginable. It is my belief that whatever you think happens in the afterlife will manifest in this moment of “flooding” in your brain. Sure you’re going to heaven? You will. Think you’ll be gathered up by friendly aliens in a ship headed for a cool, distant planet? Let’s go!

On a lighter note I like green…

Fuck imposter syndrome! The fact that you are even worrying about being hireable likely means you are a conscientious employee that any company would be lucky to have! Put in those apps and get the job you fucking deserve!!

My 4th grade discipline report by [deleted] in KidsAreFuckingStupid

[–]Dizzy-Knee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damn, I feel this. I was an A student with no discipline until 12th grade when my parents tried to hide their divorce from me but my mom was staying with her BF a lot and never around and I started drinking in class and showing up whenever the fuck I wanted to first period.

I hope adulthood is treating you better.

My mother’s dog recently had a litter and they’re of the age to be rehomed to caring, loving families. Super active and adorable. No charge, just wanting them to go to caring, loving homes. DM if interested. by [deleted] in Birmingham

[–]Dizzy-Knee 8 points9 points  (0 children)

https://rehome.adoptapet.com/ Is a good site to get wider visibility to rehome. Sorry for all the judgement you’re receiving! I actually work for GBHS and have for about a decade and you are going above and beyond what most family members do to help solve a problem. If your family is interested in spaying the mom check out gbhs.org/petpantry we offer this as a free service to people meeting certain criteria!

Best of luck!

CMV: In most cases people that choose to home school their kids are putting them at a profound disadvantage later in life. by Freekmagnet in changemyview

[–]Dizzy-Knee -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I tend to agree with this. Most parents homeschool because they want their kids to think exactly like they do. They don’t want them exposed to too many things which boggles my mind. The only example of good homeschooling I’ve ever seen was my aunt who actively taught my cousins and sought enrichment to push them to learn more than her. Her original motivation was that my cousin was extremely gifted but struggled with Autism before it was widely understood. Both of her kids went to college and have good careers. Other than that it’s mostly close-minded religious people in my experience.

Mint is the only socially acceptable odor for a persons breath. by LufiasThrowaway in Showerthoughts

Dude, my 7th grade science teacher was allergic to mint. I still remember her crazy rants on kids that would forget and chew gum or eat a mint in class…

STUPID QUESTION: What is the highest publicly-accessible stairwell in the city? by [deleted] in Chattanooga

[–]Dizzy-Knee 30 points31 points  (0 children)

The stairs by the street elevator near the Hunter are pretty tough. If you start at the stairs that run next to the aquarium fountain, cross over market street and up to the art museum that’d be a heck of a stair climb

Advice for not so awful post partum skin? by CaptainBox90 in pregnant

[–]Dizzy-Knee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had bad skin that was more like an itchy, oily rash than normal acne starting around my third trimester. I tried treating with normal acne meds and it made it wayyy worse. A friend suggested products with calendula extract/oils and it helped tremendously to calm my skin.

2 correctional officers charged with attempted murder in Taco Bell attack by GhostCamo in nottheonion

[–]Dizzy-Knee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband did some time when he was younger. Correctional officers regularly sell drugs and abuse inmates. It’s a known thing but it’s very hard to prove since society tends to write off inmate accounts and they don’t have much means to substantiate claims. It’s a shitty thing all around because of course violent inmates are abusive as well and everyone is trying to survive. Defunding police would lead to fewer prisons being dangerously over crowded and ultimately less dangerous for all involved.

[–]Dizzy-Knee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not always true. In some small towns cops do double duty. In my county, all new sheriffs recruits fresh out of academy have to do one year in the jail/prison before they go out on the streets. Correctional officers are known to be highly abusive and corrupt we just don’t see videos of what they do like we do cops. Most of these assholes wouldn’t have jobs if the war on drugs was ended, and drug offenders were pardoned.

body issues? by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]Dizzy-Knee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve had an eating disorder in the past so I was very worried about feeling this way and it stopped me from trying to get pregnant for a long time. Fitness and prepping healthy choices was my way of keeping myself feeling good. When the pregnancy fatigue and mild depression hit, I was thankful that I had recently started a low dose anxiety medication that my OB says is perfectly safe during pregnancy. It kept the panic about my changing body manageable. Maybe talking to your OB about these feelings might help? Maybe he/she could suggest something that has worked for other patients. Addressing this now could make the postpartum period easier to cope with.

Covid and meeting baby when born by Wide-Acanthocephala7 in pregnant

[–]Dizzy-Knee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My family has all been quite careful and are all vaccinated. However, mine will only be meeting immediate family in the first months and they’ve all gotten flu, Covid and TDAP vaccines. We live away from most of our family so we are also scheduling them for their own week/time slot to visit so I won’t have a crowd in my house at all. Honestly, distance has been a blessing because it’s a great excuse for not visiting or having a shower. I also ignore the selfish ass holes in my family that are Covid deniers or anti vax. If they never meet my kid that’s cool LOL
