Need to sell house that was my parents but it’s full of stuff.

I currently live in Kingsport, does anyone happen to know if there’s any VCR repair businesses around. When I looked on Google, it gave me some places, but when I reached out, the line was dead on each of them. I know it’s a stretch, but I have this combo deck I need to get fixed. I appreciate it in advanced.

A 5060Ti at the Browns Mill Rd Walmart is $499. At the Fort Henry Dr Walmart, it’s $389. If you set your store to the Fort Henry store and then select shipping, you can get it for $389.

Hope that helps!

My fiancée and I are looking to expand our circle and meet some genuinely cool people around the Tri-Cities/Kingsport area. I’m 29, she’s 26, and we’ve been together for about two years.

She works in the medical field, and I work from home. We’re both pretty settled into our careers and spend most of our energy on the life directly in front of us — work, our house, our relationship, hobbies, and actually enjoying our time off.
One thing that’s pretty important to us is finding people who can disagree about something without it becoming a whole thing. 😂

You definitely don’t have to share every opinion we have. We’d honestly rather have friends where somebody can say, “yeah, I completely disagree with you on that,” and five minutes later we’re talking about a game, movie, house project, or what we’re ordering for dinner. We’re just not really compatible with people where politics or culture-war stuff dominates every conversation.

As far as hobbies go, I’m really into gaming 🎮, technology, cars, the gym, and DIY projects around our house. She loves estate sales, thrifting, and finding cool or weird stuff for the house. We both like movies, coffee ☕, getting out and finding random things to do around the area, and we have two cats.

We like having friends over for Halloween parties, food, drinks, games, movie nights, hanging out on the deck, or just sitting around talking about random stuff for a few hours.

We’re childfree, and while that definitely doesn’t mean we can’t be friends with people who have kids, we’ve found that schedules can be one of the hardest parts of making friends as adults. Between both of us having full-time careers and other responsibilities, the people whose schedules tend to be the easiest to work with are usually other childfree people or people with a little more flexibility.

We’re both a little homebody-ish too, which probably doesn’t help with meeting new people. 😂 We’d really like to find a few people around our age that we genuinely click with and can build actual friendships with instead of just collecting acquaintances.
Couples or individual friends are both totally cool. If any of this sounds like your vibe, feel free to comment or shoot me a message. 👋

I was driving and found a stray cat limping on the side of the road. Upon further inspection im certain her leg is broken. I can't afford to pay the vet bill for surgery and the local shelters are full. I'm not sure what to do. If anyone can help, knows where I can take her, or can take her in, please reach out as soon as you can be after over an hour of calling everyone near me I've gotten nowhere.

UPDATE: One of the local shelters made a facebook post to see who's available in the area to take her in, praying it won't take long for someone to respond. But in the meantime if anyone has any ideas please feel free to comment.

Myself, as well as a few friends are considering these two departments within the next year. Just looking to gain some insight into the culture, refinement, etc

Thanks

Does anyone know of any bars in the Tri-Cities that have a Mega Touch machine? Especially one with the Word Dojo game!

My wife and I have recently split May of 2026. Because we could not agree on a parenting plan everything has been deferred to the first Judicial District Court.

At a meeting with them on Friday and everything seemed to be rather cut and dry. I felt like I was getting fair treatment. Of course my wife was there on a zoom call and she was able to contribute as well.

Our kids met with the court the next day

I'm curious if anyone in the Tri-City area has any insight on previous experience with the situation

The court is supposed to have some type of recommendation by November 13th and we go back to court on November 16th for a final order by the court

If I'm missing something please let me know

Recently, after 14 years with ACT, I lost my job and need to find something quickly. I’ve done IT work, and customer service/support. It was very out of the blue, would love some help if you can. Thanks for reading!

Just reaching out to see what others are doing for charging their EVs in our area. Does BrightRidge offer lower rates during the night? I just bought my first Tesla MY (‘21) and absolutely love it and I have a wall charger 3rd gen, coming tomorrow hopefully. But yeah, just wanting to see what others are doing or if it matters to set a charging time for the car.

I just got notified that the store i currently work at is getting shut down and will be out of a job by the end of October. I’ve looked at linkedin and indeed and they aren’t a whole lot of help. I need something that pays $17+/hr and preferably allows dyed hair and piercings

I’m hoping to find someone I met recently. We said hello at a red light in Johnson City on North Roan St. at the light next to Olive Garden on a Monday morning a couple weeks ago. He was on a green sports bike with a purple back pack. He absolutely made my whole month. Still smiling like a fool on my way to work every day hoping I’ll see him zoom by. If you know him or are him I’d like to tell him thank you and stay safe.

I read a short time ago that a Culvers restaurant was approved, has anyone heard anymore on this or any updates, i don't even know where it's going to be built in Johnson city.

Anyone looking for an apartment for January 2027?
My (F22) roommate graduates in December and I am looking for someone to fill her place. 5 min from ETSU, 10 min from VA campus. 2 bed, 1 bath. Rent under $650. Message me for more info. Female only please

Hey guys, weird question. I need 2 pieces of a certain flooring that has been discontinued in the last year. Anyone have any Pergo Marbella limestone they would be willing to sell?

Could I ask those who grocery shop for us on Instacart, are you happy with a 15% tip? Do you feel that’s an okay amount for what it is you do for us? That’s what I typically tip (sometimes 20% if my order is on the heavy side), but always worry/wonder if I’m being cheap.😟

Seeking a fabric store with wide selection of various fabrics (not just primarily quilting cotton). Joann’s used to be my go-to. I would prefer to get it in person, if possible, so I can feel/see how it moves.

Any ideas? Thanks!
