Exit 18 (Atl Hwy) on ramps to the loop closed. Plan accordingly!

• Upvotes

To get to work I usually take the exit 18 (Atl hwy) on ramp going south. That and the north ramp were both closed. I was traveling from mall/Sam’s club to Publix direction, couldnt tell about the other side of the ro ad because I was focusing on driving but I think the whole loop on and exit ramps are closed. With Jimmie Daniel at 316 also closed, I wish you all luck. Seems like most people are going on Atl hwy through town to get to work or destination. god speed.

Question / Request UGA Meat Sale

23 Upvotes

Has anyone purchased from the UGA meat sales that they do on friday? I'm actually a vegetarian, but would like to buy some meat for something, but I'm not sure how the quality is there, or how the prices compare. Ideally I would like if it's a slightly better deal than a grocery store, but I really don't know anything about meat and I'm not really sure if it's quality there or not.

Posting on Reddit since this might have a wider reach than the Facebook cat page but if anyone has seen one of my colony cats on E. Broad St. please let me know. She’s been missing for over a week now and it’s very unusual behavior from her. Her name is scraps and she’s skittish but cuddly on rare occasions. If you’ve seen her at all, let me know.

Any other women looking for a squad?

43 Upvotes

I'm a 42 year old, newly single woman who is new to the area. Shortly after committing to move the proverbial shit hit the fan with my marriage.

ANYWAY

I'm looking for any women/moms who'd like to connect :)

I'm fairly tame but would love to meet for coffee, check out fun lunch spots, find a walking buddy, attend trivia, have a wine night....

Hopefully you get the gist!

If this sounds like something you too would be interested in--let's connect!!

Question / Request Looking for photos of wedding receptions at the UGA Botanical Garden Day Chapel

3 Upvotes

I know this is probably a long shot, but does anyone by chance have photos of how the downstairs reception area was decorated for a wedding? My fiancé and I are planning our wedding there and it's been so hard to find photos of previous receptions there! I just want some inspiration but I'm really only finding receptions in the big glass garden room next to the gift shop.

Hi all! My girl got out today (10/25) around 5:30 PM. We live near Eaglewood Ct and Sleepy Creek Dr. She is very sweet but also nervous when outside or away from her friends. She is all grey/silver with a tiny white star on her chest. Relatively petite but a little chunky. Please contact 706-430-8783 if you see her!! Her name is Trash—don’t judge me there’s lore there. Just want her back home ASAP 🩷

any suggestions on where to go to get hair dematted?

24 Upvotes

so, the past few months have not been kind to me, mentally or physically. it started as 2 weeks without brushing my hair, and then a lack of energy to fix the small matts, then an indifference to what happened with the hair, then an acceptance of shaving my hair all off, with a new back track to wanting to keep my hair since i’m starting to get back on an uptick mentally.

so, if anyone had any experience with this, or knows of any shops who would treat me well with this (that hopefully won’t break the bank, but i know it will cost a good bit since it’s so much effort on the stylists part), please let me know. i have made 5 separate attempts at fixing it myself, and i just can’t, or i could but it’s so difficult and i don’t have the time to because i have a newborn to care for now.

any help is appreciated. thank you.

Question / Request question about single family residence and airbnb

38 Upvotes

i share a wall with an airbnb and with the 3 months i’ve lived here i haven’t had a single good neighbor. nothing but loud noises and banging. the house is zoned as a single family residence and i know for a fact the owners don’t stay here at all. is there anything i can do, i genuinely don’t care how much of an asshole it makes me i’m just tired of this neighbor roulette.
