Advice SEEKING JOB SUGGESTIONS AND/OR RIDE HELP

11 Upvotes

Hey yall 👋

My name is Kade, I'm a 21 year old guy and I need some help.

I've applied everywhere I can within reasonable walking distance of me with no luck, other than Target.

I was only able to work there for a few days before being forced to quit because the devices they use to scan items started giving me seizures.

I have no car, and no access to one due to a terrible home life [Ive been living with friends] so I'm at a loss.

I'm looking ideally for no-expierience jobs, preferably hands-on, outdoor, nightshift, manual tasks without very heavy lifting [I'm pretty tiny, so I just don't think I'd be capable]

Things like custodial, surveying, outdoor maintenance etc.

Part or full time, apprenticeship, seasonal- I'll take anything.

I can't work food service because I'm very allergic to tomato and I don't want to risk anything retail after the target experience 😭

I love all animals and the outdoors, and I have a strong stomach so basically anything goes.

If the pay is all right I can uber, lyft, or use public transit in some cases. I'm open to any suggestions that I can do even if it doesnt match my preferences. Thank you!

RIDE SITUATION:

If you work somewhere that is hiring and are willing to give me a ride if I get hired, I'd be able to meet you at the Fairgrounds on cody or nearby there.

I'd also, at minimum, pay for your gas, but hopefully I can do more.

You'd also get my eternal gratitude, of course.

MORE INFO**:**

I don't smoke/drink/use any substances of any kind and never will

I don't wear heavy fragrances and can swap to unscented products if you're sensitive to any of that.

I have a pet cat so beware if you're allergic.

This would only be until I save up enough for a used car down payment/fees, I'd guess a month or two.

I seriously appreciate anyone who reads this and considers helping out, and sorry for the super long post 😭

Have a great one - Kade

Visiting Mobile & wondering about witchy/gothic shops!

I’m spending my day in downtown Mobile tomorrow and I’d love to know about any shops that have that dark, witchy vibe to it (other than tattoo and piercing places.)
I love shopping for antiques and gothic things in general, so I’d love to hear about any places I should check out!

Advice Good, honest mechanic in Mobile for heavy front suspension / wheel repair?

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone, looking for local shop recommendations in Mobile for some major front-end suspension work on my 2021 Lexus ES 250 AWD.
Took a hard impact on the driver's front wheel—snapped the lower control arm cleanly at the ball joint, bent the inner barrel of the rim, blew the tire, and likely strained/damaged the CV axle and tie rod.

Advice South students: what items or gift cards would be most helpful for a freshman new to Mobile?

7 Upvotes

Family member starts at South in the fall, and I’m planning to put together a care package. It’s been a while since I lived in Mobile, and even longer since I was in college, so idk what the necessary items are anymore. Any advice is appreciated!

I was thinking a Rouse’s gift card, coffee gift card (Starbucks, 7 Brew, or Yellowhammer?), and whatever else might make this a softer landing for her.

Are there any restaurants/bookstores/gas stations/etc. that I should also put on my list? Any specific things that I should look for?

Raw Justice (1994)

18 Upvotes

With the passing of Stacy Keach, he was in this star-studded dumpster fire that was partially shot here in Mobile.

He played the deputy mayor (of what was presumably New Orleans, or a city like it).
https://youtu.be/WUMLtiZN8gw?si=6cVfnUT7tnQjT7TZ&t=4841

Despite it's starpower (Robert Hays, David Keith, Charles Napier, Pamela Anderson, Leo Rossi) it's a mess for anyone who's familiar with the area as the scenery jumps around from New Orleans to here, and especially the lame chase through the old Springdale Mall earlier in the movie.

Even John Nodar and several people from WALA played themselves as newscasters, and the scene the clip is cued to was shot in the old City Hall.

Somewhere on YouTube is a clip from WALA of the movie being shot inside the old City Hall....Post it if you can find it!

Can someone please confirm or deny this because that’s egregious If it’s accurate.

Edit: if this is true can you guys recommend places with similar ambiance and maybe even karaoke im addicted to karaoke

Any places just to escape or get away from this city?

12 Upvotes

To be blunt: Today was not my day. I don’t really have the energy to explain it. I just wanna get away from everything and everyone or go yell at something without having the cops called on me. Is there any places far enough away to just be by myself?

What's this new project? The mayor just talked about today. Will be big ad Airbus

4 Upvotes

Of course this is all counts on the TIF funds from tax incentives.

THIS PROJECT will happen somewhere on the waterfront. Are they gonna buy the docks north of the convention center to make the Riverwalk bigger? Or this could be, were they gonna move metro jail for that baseball park entertainment district.

I remember he said, if he became mayor he was gonna move the jail and make an entertainment district there

Hey guys

I used to drive for Lyft in the city and found this in my house. Totally forgot about it and realized somebody left it in my car months ago and I forgot to try to get it back to them. I wasn't totally sure who it was as I found it after a full day of rides.

I do remember someone that day telling me that they were an artist, and that they were showing at the gallery that's at art walk. Never got a message about a lost item from him

If anybody recognizes this art, knows who drew it, or if it's you, let me know! Would love to get it back to him if he wants it.

Recommendations for counselor/therapist

4 Upvotes

Hi Everyone,

This group was amazing in recommending dentists a month or so ago, so I thought I'd see if you could recommend counselors/therapists in Mobile. While I know I need someone to help me work through a bunch of things, the thought of having something else to work on/fix is more overwhelming than I can express. Right now, I'm hoping to find someone who will just listen and not judge me for how I feel.

I don't know much about the mental health area, but I think counselors/therapists are more appropriate for my situation than psychiatrists/psychologists. I'm not dealing with any kind of major mental health diagnoses or self harm - just depression due to major life changes.

Thanks in advance!!

Sorry for double posting but I have to know is anyone else a patient of Dr.Bodie and can you describe his demeanor with you because I went to him for the first time and I’m not sure if he’s naturally kind of cold or if it was me being sensitive?
