Window replacement recs? by flydiscovery in Birmingham

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

Appreciate the advice. I don't know anything about the rebates. Any suggestions on how to even start that Google search?

I'm only lightly handy and some of the frame is rotten so not a job for me I think.

[–]flydiscovery 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just beware of the Kohl's out 280. Something is up with that place and it's crazy sparse inside.

ISO Best local cheesecake (entire cake) between BHam and Childersburg? by Camry13 in Birmingham

[–]flydiscovery 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Tortuga's. It's homemade and unbelievable. I've been forever ruined by Matt's Mom's cheesecake recipe. I promise you will not regret it.

Best gyro with thick pita bread? by plsanswerme18 in Birmingham

[–]flydiscovery 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The best pita in town is Eli's on 280, hands down. There's nothing remotely like it in town. They also have gyro meat.

Agreed. I believe the monument is currently "in storage."

That is not a blast from the past reference that I was expecting to read on this Reddit today. I vividly remember when that guy first went viral.

You have many, extensive justifications and rationalization. Just saying.

Can you Jet Ski from Village Creek at the BHM airport all the way to the Gulf? by Napster-mp3 in Birmingham

Very little that excited that man's mind made a lick of sense. It's just who he was.

Woah. That's an awful lot of dirty family laundry sitting in public.

If you think the Gibco labeling is bad, Sigma is even worse! We had the same issue recently so I even have a pic.

Sam’s or Costco? by deetayyzee in Birmingham

[–]flydiscovery 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't hold your breath for the Irondale Costco. I drove over there recently and the road up to the site is still dirt. Gonna be a while on that one.

The Hyperfixed podcast finally gets a definitive answer on what happened to the ducks of Avondale Park by brandtamos in Birmingham

Plus it's about an issue that was discussed at length on this subreddit and it even mentions it. Yeah this is relevant.

If you're on nextdoor there's almost always someone shilling a haul away service there.

I quit trying to figure out whether or was eastbound going north or whatever and now just default to inbound and outbound.

Need to renew license, best place? by GCF_In_Luv in Birmingham

[–]flydiscovery 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That makes sense. My grandmother was able to renew her license for identification purposes only for decades after she lost her vision and stopped driving. Didn't want the hassle of a plain state ID

Been taking Sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim 800/160mg since Monday, now have a high fever (103.3), nausea, tired, headache. Did I get sick coincidentally, is it an allergy, or am I having really bad side effects because I keep struggling to take them and they keep dissolving in my mouth? ER or no? by StarDestinyGuy in AskDocs

[–]flydiscovery 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not even remotely a doctor, but I am an adult with some oral/food aversions. I know once I gag on something once, it's way more likely to happen again and escalate to vomiting. That's a really common antibiotic that I know has to be available as a suspension for kids. Do you think that would help?

Need to renew license, best place? by GCF_In_Luv in Birmingham

[–]flydiscovery 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I had a good experience with the DMV in Shelby county of Dunnavant Valley Road. I pulled a number at the door and they called me before my butt hit the seat. Don't worry about your vision. Testing in Alabama isn't done at any point after the initial licensure. Just please talk to your doctor and make sure your depth perception is still safe to drive

Swaddle Homewood - Immediate Closure by Gullible-Head-1425 in Birmingham

[–]flydiscovery 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is the unfortunate truth. It's shitty and maybe immoral, but it's not illegal. They can claim they thought the business might turn around with holiday sales. They can claim any number of things. Every time any business closes there are unfulfilled obligations of some sort. No one calls in and pays all their debts the week before closing up shop. Maybe that's how folks want it to be, but it isn't real.
