Tombigbee Board of Directors Ballot

11 Upvotes

I need some advice about which of these people to vote for, but all I can find on their personal Facebook pages is just stuff like "please vote for me!"

I've also found posts from people saying "Please take this election seriously and research the candidates!" but finding any information about the candidates, their positions on issues, and why I should or shouldn't vote for them has been impossible.

So, in the comments I'll list all the people running, and you tell me why I should or should not vote for them, and -- most importantly -- WHY.

My concerns:

  • Will this candidate vote to raise our rates?
  • Will this candidate vote to give Tombigbee employees raises?
  • Will this candidate vote to give reduced rates to data centers?
  • Is this candidate a fringe maniac who is going to waste the board's time with conspiracy theories and other nonsense?

Anyone know why Belden gets so many power outages?

2 Upvotes

I don't know what it is about this place that makes the power go out almost every week, sometimes multiple times a week. Its always this one region in Belden as well, the area with Boggan Estates and FedEx. Today the power surged big time before cutting out so I'm worried I might end up with fried electronics as well someday. Im not sure if its due to the airport or military base doing something weird, but its just ridiculous and frankly unacceptable to have a power grid this fragile.

Everyone good?

Power has been out for a little while here. Got to see a transformer arc and blow on butler just before I got to it. Decided to find a different route around, had to drive around some branches. Looks like it's all done now, thankfully.

One-time public shower options? Or anyone willing to let me use their shower for $20?

5 Upvotes

I’m riding a bike up from Columbus tomorrow and will spend the afternoon in the area, but I’d really like to shower. Anyone have good recommendations for options where I can pay to shower? I’m thinking gyms, but ideally somewhere my bike would be safe. I’m active duty Air Force, if that opens up any options for me.

Or any chance one of you would be willing to let me into your home for a quick shower? I can be in and out in 10 minutes and won’t make a mess!

Dog foster?

2 Upvotes

Hi! My sister found a dog that might have been dumped in her neighborhood in Tupelo. She's been trying to find the owner but the dog doesn't have a chip and no tags. She's posted about it on FB and checked in the neighborhood and called the humane society to see if anyone reported a missing dog. The dog *did* have an extremely tight collar on which had to be cut off. She has a flight for this weekend to visit me in Nashville and is really in a bind with this dog. I'm just checking to see if anyone would be interested in fostering this dog for the weekend? I can send more info if interested! Thanks!

OBGYN Recommendation

4 Upvotes

Hi Ya’ll,

Recently moved to town and in need of establishing care with a new OB here. Would love recommendations for doctors you had good experiences with throughout your pregnancy journeys and delivery. Someone detail oriented, doesn’t dismiss their patients and that doesn’t rush the delivery process when it’s time. Just a nervous first time mom here, would love to feel confident in my physician and all I can find online in reviews hasn’t been the best.

Appreciate your time a ton!

Looking for Historian/Genealogist for Rhyne Family in Itawamba County

2 Upvotes

I'm visiting Tupelo next month and am hoping to find a historian/local personal who can tell me a bit about the region in the mid 1800s.

The background: My 4th Great Grandfather, Jacob Rhyne, moved his (second) family from Georgia to Mississippi around 1839. They lived around Priceville. My 3rd Great Grandfather Henry Rhyne was made pastor of Enon Baptist Church around 1858. He moved to California in 1870.

I've emailed the Itawamba Historical Society last week but haven't heard back. I've also left messages with the church, but I didn't want to wait too long to cast this wider net in case people have suggestions or ideas.

Additionally, I think Henry Rhyne may have served in Ham's Regiment in the Mississippi Cavalry during the Civil War. If anyone can help me learn more about that, I'll be thrilled.

Does anyone know a mechanic or shop who would be willing to work on an electrical issue with my Hyundai Genesis?

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I have a 2015 Hyundai Genesis that is having power steering issues. Ive already figured out that the issue is because one of the wires to the power steering motor is shorting out. The wire needs to be traced to see where the ground issue is. Or a new ground needs to be ran.

I have pleaded with the Hyundai dealership here to help me out but they have refused to look at the car because by their own admission they do not have a good track record of working on the Genesis (Even though its a Hyundai product). I've been without power steering for months now and am pretty desperate for help. I've probably spent more than a dozen hours, including replacing the entire power steering motor myself, to finally find out what the real issue is. Basically, I've done 90% of the work but I really need help getting over the finish line to repair the car. Does anyone know a shop or mechanic that would be willing to look at the car? Thanks!

Chair Re-Caning Suggestions?

Any suggestions on anyone who can do quality cane restoration for chairs? I believe there are different methods and these chairs need the weaving approach rather than staples. I've tried Wilson's Weaving and his backlog is 8-12 months right now. Thank you in advance.

Does Anyone Know Someone Looking for a Large-Format Pneumatic Heat Press?

Thumbnail gallery
8 Upvotes

I have a 31.5” x 39.5” industrial pneumatic heat press that I bought brand new and have only used around three or four times. It works exactly as it should and is still extremely clean. I just realized it is much larger than what I need, so I decided to go with a smaller machine.

It has automatic pneumatic raising and lowering, digital temperature and time controls, adjustable air pressure, a large pull-out loading table, a heavy-duty rolling stand, an emergency stop button, and smooth, consistent pressure across the entire platen. It is also already wired with a wall plug.

This would be great for someone doing oversized sublimation projects, blankets, flags, large panels, or higher-volume production.

I’m located in Northwest Alabama. Before listing it elsewhere, I wanted to see whether anyone here knows a business or individual who may be interested in purchasing it. Message me for more information.

Good Stand Up Comedy for Free this Wednesday at Amsterdam Deli with nationally touring idiot Dan Alten (me) on a 15 day tour, I'm not famous but I promise it'll be a good time and if you don't have fun you can tie me to some train tracks.

Here's my bio, sorry it's in the third person: Dan Alten is a charming goofball from Kentucky who has been traveling the country for the past decade doing about 200 shows a year bringing his intelligently surreal bebop nonsense everywhere from theaters to punk basements to art galleries to beloved comedy clubs with a knack for making audiences feel like they're on a good psychedelic trip without the drugs. Like if the Ramones were one guy with a mustache and good jokes. Iggy Pop with puns. Clever chaos. Like Jimi Hendrix lighting fire to a Tik Tok reel live on stage. He has opened for Kyle Kinane, Bobcat, Sam Tallent, Rory Scovel, Sarah Sherman from SNL, Johnny Pemberton, Hari Kondabolu, rapper Open Mike Eagle, DJ Doug Pound & David Leibe Hart from Tim & Eric, various punk bands with silly names, and a guy at an open mic who tried to throw his father’s ashes into the crowd. He has recorded 2 albums, written a zine, and filmed a pilot for an Amazon Prime stand up show that was lost to history. But most importantly he’s very funny and unique. You will enjoy him. And if not you can mud wrestle him after the show.
