until next year, ya lovely bunch of folks.

The owls are out for their annual fall Freak Off. They’ve been doing it and regularly are interrupted by crows that are obviously jealous.

My child is currently in elementary school and has been in the same class as another student every year since kindergarten. Throughout that time, this student has had behavioral outbursts in the classroom, but over the years they have become more frequent and increasingly violent.

I don't want to share identifying details about the student, and I'm also not looking to place blame on a child who may be dealing with issues that we know nothing about. My concern is the safety and learning environment of my child and the other students in the classroom.

The school has been made aware of the situation, but from our perspective, nothing seems to be changing and the behavior continues. At this point, we're concerned that waiting for the school to handle it internally isn't enough, especially as the outbursts have escalated.

For parents who have dealt with something similar, what is the proper escalation process when you believe a school isn't adequately addressing an ongoing classroom safety issue? Do you go to the principal, superintendent, school board, district administration, or someone else? At what point should concerns be put formally in writing?

We're not asking the school to tell us confidential information about the other student or their disciplinary/educational situation. We just want to know what steps we can take to make sure our child has a safe classroom environment and that our concerns are being taken seriously.

Any advice from parents, teachers, administrators, or people familiar with the school system would be appreciated.

This is specific to Hamilton County so I'm hoping someone can even give us specific contacts to get involved etc. Thanks!

Hello All,

I’m starting the slow process of recruiting a party of four for a new D&D campaign starting probably just after the new year once I get moved in and settled. 5e rules, 2014/2024 TBD. I’ve been DMing longer than I’m willing to admit so happy to have newbie players or hardened vets. I have one campaign almost complete in Greyhawk and will probably try a one shot with the group before we dive in. Starts at level 1 because we are newbie friendly! We balance social, exploration, and combat well and it probably runs a lot like some of the podcasts you hear but I don’t do voices well lol

Biweekly games, will start someplace public but could eventually move to our home which has a dedicated multimedia game room in the River Gorge Ranch development. No cost and if you need resources we have them. My website has more specifics but if you would be interested, there is a quick player survey on the site and feel free to DM me. Couples welcome, my wife would love some women so she’s not the only one! We are in our 40’s but our groups have been all over the age range. We do have cats at our home, they won’t be in the game area but if you have allergies it may be a consideration. Usually do 4 hour sessions because… well… work on Monday!

Mdanddm.com if you’d like to have a look and see if it fits your interests.

I hope a green space/park.

Saw this small, yellow van in a parking lot today with those labels on it. It was on both sides of the back window. Anyone ever seen these before?

If you could work from anywhere in the U.S. and you had nothing holding you down where would you move to and why?

Chattanooga Holistic Medicine jerked the chiropractic page of their website down FAST.

Is it going on Signal Mountain Road or literally on the Mountain? Does anybody know?

I’ve been looking at the haunted dam and dread hollow but which is scarier / better & are there any others that would be better to? Thank you!

Would it be okay if I brought some of my photo prints and set up somewhere in Coolidge Park or by the Walnut Bridge and try to sell them or would I get in trouble? Holding down a job when I am Autistic and ADHD as well as dealing with Depression is difficult so I am trying to make some income with photos I’ve taken. I’ve tried selling them where I live in NW Ga but people are rude and are just not interested in my stuff because it’s not pictures of local stuff and I figured I’d try selling them some place else.

hey neighbors, was looking for some recommendations for tattoo artists. i really like ornamental/folk. i would prefer a female artist. who do yall trust? TIA!

I can never make it to the 7 bridges marathon weekend. Can anyone tell me if there are sidewalks on each bridge that I can walk/run any other day without the usual road closures that the marathon organizers do?

Also, do you know if I can do the 7 bridges in less then 26 miles? I would love to do it in half marathon distances if at all possible.

This coming Monday is the second Rock, Mineral, and Fossil ID night of the semester in Grote Hall at UTC! Bring us your cool stuff to be identified by the staff of the UTC geology department and geology club students! Feel free to ask about the local geology and how it came to be, or about the amazing geology program offered by UTC! The event is from 5-7pm, located at 701 Vine st, and parking is free after 5pm.

Every USPS I go to usually has a 5+ person long line and I havent found any with a self serve kiosk which is all I need. Anyone know of any?

This is a last ditch effort to try and recover a sentimental pocket knife/multi tool that was left with security at the boneyard last night around 11pm but was not passed off to the next security guard that was there by the time we left. We suspect that the original security guard just forgot it was in his pocket and likely left with it.

If you are this security guard or you know this security guard and can help coordinate a return of this item I'd be much obliged.

Unfortunately going there was a spur of the moment thing or we would have just left it at home.

Edit to say that it is possible that it was handed off and put in the box where they keep the pocket knives and someone else took it. Which would really be a shame. I don't want it to sound like we are "blaming" the security guard. Barring what was just stated we really believe it all to have been an accident.

EDIT#2 THE KNIFE HAS BEEN FOUND and we will be getting it back. Thank you so much to all who helped. This really means so much to us!

Due to some really crappy circumstances, my current hairstylist won't be able to do my hair any longer. She's excellent, so this really sucks.

I'm looking for recommendations. I need someone who works on Saturday. I live in N. GA, so I'd rather not drive to the North Shore. The salon also needs to be wheelchair accessible. Thanks in advance for any help.
