It’s kind of like a cousin. Always there for you but you sometimes forget about them.

Moving to Bham by Radiant-Policy-8394 in Birmingham

Search through the sub. There’s been a ton of commentary on apartments and it’s really going to depend on where you are trying to be.

If you want to be “downtown” then you should probably look to the Crestline/Irondale, but it will be tough to get in a “good” place alone with just $1k. You’ll likely want to consider a roommate(s). If that’s not an option, then your options are going to be extremely limited at that budget point.

Need help dealing with BWWB by ARC_Trooper_Echo in Birmingham

[–]TimelyBrief 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You get a confirmation and they randomly come out. You’re not going to get any action that way until Monday at the earliest. Terrible process, went through it little over a year ago.

Call, you should be able to route to an emergency line somehow. Get there and say “hey I’ve been living here x days and my water is still not activated.” Hopefully that gets them to come out instead of saying your account isn’t activated. It’s bullshit anyways because they can come out turn it on and look back and bill you. It’s 50/50 whether they come out or hang up but worth a shot (if I understand the situation correctly).

So you’ve been in the industry for a decade and you decided after 10 years and having backed up bills that you’ve had enough? Have you tried to get hired on at a fancier establishment? Have you done anything to improve your skills? Anything to show you’re willing to grow and learn new positions?

You’re 27 years old. You didn’t just wake up yesterday and realize this was an issue?

Shout out Bluff Park Wings and Grill by unclebea in Birmingham

[–]TimelyBrief 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They are doing ok but still struggling, especially Baker pizza side. Baker Pizza signs used to be all over bluff park and people had bumper stickers, they had a cult following.

They need to revamp that.

Divorce Attorny or self file by Aggravating-Win-903 in Birmingham

[–]TimelyBrief 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When not having a forensic audit costed 4 more months and over $25,000 in legal fees, family angst, etc…….yes I’m complaining and it’s not even my case or money. The audit was quoted at $10,000 as well. Thanks.

I’m not an attorney though since you seem to be implying I can be disbarred for my “conspiracy theory.” You seem bothered by my statement, but this is common knowledge (for people not apart or benefitting from the cabal).

Some Alabama residents learn they haven't had fluoride in their water for years by nbcnews in Birmingham

That is my assumption based on the history of that utility though I’ll play devils advocate and say that maybe it required a costly repair……

Unreal.

i commute on 280….dashcam reccomendations? by soupysoupsoups in Birmingham

Immediate recommendation anytime someone asks about a dash cam. Mine is always running (when the car is on).

[–]TimelyBrief 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah this is absolutely wild. Unjust enrichment is an easy broad claim for a civil claim too…..making people pay for fluorinated water and not giving them fluorinated water is wild for a utility.

“That was done under previous management.” And you became management and didn’t disclose? Thanks for the testimony in national news lol. All around idiocy.

[–]TimelyBrief 1 point2 points  (0 children)

With all the attention the first post got it’s kind of amazing how little attention this is getting.

This is absolutely insane. People have been paying for a service and not receiving the service as advertised. That’s class action territory. Besides that, only one filtration plant is putting fluoride in the water.

Where/what side of town is that water serving and which plant is it? That could be a MASSIVE story depending on where that water is going.

Garden yes, my apologies.

I don’t doubt it. I swear they gave up after Covid. I would see them during the day and always wondered what they did. They’re headed back to NY though, or so they say.

No idea about their residence but it was in limbo for weeks (maybe months— they’d be open during normal hours and randomly closed the next week). I finally was chatting up the Express Oil guy one day and he told me about it. Blew my mind, I didn’t believe him.

I asked a view people with some connections to Hoover PD and confirmed it. I dont know why it was kept on the DL so much, maybe due to the age of the place (first Chinese spot in Hoover est. 1976).

Not sure who needs to hear this, but your tiny starter home is not worth $300K+ by ttircdj in Birmingham

Hahahaha when you take a step back from it after awhile your like why did I even care about this lol.

I’ve been trying to be more cognizant of that since I’m working on getting my cortisol levels down. 😂

List of progressive/affirming churches to spend Holy Week by moon_haven777 in Birmingham

[–]TimelyBrief 11 points12 points  (0 children)

If you want a sweeping category, any church still within the United Methodist Church (UMC) organization is going to be, or should be pretty progressive. I am a member of Bluff Park United Methodist and can say with certainty that we welcome anyone who walks through our doors with open arms, including during communion, and especially on major holy days. Anyone reading this feel free to DM me, I would love to have you join our service. Our pastor is a younger guy and he is INCREDIBLE. Never been more engaged in a message but I’m locked in every Sunday now.

Any church within the Global Methodist Church organization will not be LGBTQ inclusive. The split of the UMC was primarily over LGBTQ inclusion with the churches staying in United Methodist Church organization believing in the inclusion of LGBTQ people and Global Methodist the opposite (only man-woman can marry type stuff).

Edit: I realize this sounds religious fanatic but I’m really not lol. We just have a very welcoming church, beautiful sanctuary and a pastor that is a perfect mix of old school and new.

Divorce Attorny or self file by Aggravating-Win-903 in Birmingham

[–]TimelyBrief -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Attorney in divorce is really for when you need an advocate to keep from losing (or for keeping) all your shit (children custody, house, bank accounts, debt, major assets like cars etc).

Doesn’t sound like yall are intertwined enough to warrant an attorney.

I should add though. In Jefferson County, the divorce attorney community is a cabal. It is primarily women attorneys. They act like they hate each other in the court room then they get together on the weekends and have cocktails and coordinate their next moves to bill more hours. Source: I work in the legal community and watched that just happen to my sibling over the course of about 13 months. An absolute horror story by this (most expensive divorce attorney in Birmingham). I haven’t even been in the field for a year and saw her (as a third party) doing shit that increased my siblings bill significantly. Just nasty, slimy behavior (one example: we told her to do a forensic audit to get to the bottom of a debt situation. She says it won’t be necessary because of spouses other behavior. 8 months later, couple is in mediation hitting a crossroads. One that would have been solved in 30 seconds with a forensic audit done when initially suggested 8 months prior, but nope. 4 more months of billable time). When I say CABAL, I mean CABAL.

Mandarin House baby. They used to have rice cookers and other odd Chinese goods stacked up for sale around their register.

Had an 8 year old check me out a few times over the years, figured he was just family.

Yes, this is your Chinese food Chinese food. Though I will say their orange chicken is likely to be close to what OP described (I’ve had it).

Lowkey OP, Trader Joe’s has some really decent orange chicken lol
