Stay Classy August

In line at Popeyes on highland ave. It has a dedicated, single, drive in line with a concrete barricade. I have missed the entrance multiple times myself. You just drive around the building and get in line.

Well, apparently being to stupid to use the drive through entitled this asshole to try cutting directly into the line instead of going around.

If he had done ANYTHING polite I wouldn't have had a problem with him. But it was the refusal to look up, pretending he couldn't see the problem. His assumption that the line didn't apply to him, just him creeping up an inch at a time, closer and closer. I have had a long week and I was over it today, and when he eventually looked up, I indicated he should go around. He shook his head vehemently and pointed at the line and inched closer like he was going to force his way in, whether I let him or not.

Nah, not today asshole. I made the choice to keep my place in line. Mr. Boomer pulls up and starts screaming at me and calling me a bitch. I guess he thought that would make me magically change my mind and let him in.

I got you on video, asshole. Learn to use a line like everyone else or at least have the decency to ASK if you can cut in line. Hell, if you had rolled down your window and said, I am sorry I missed the line is it OK if I go? Absolutely. But no, you thought screaming like a braying jackass was the way to go and then left.

I hope you are still hungry.

Curious if anybody has experience with the Unitarian Universalist Church of Augusta?

I recently left the church I was born into and I'm looking for a new community. Curious if any of you have experience with the Unitarian Universalist Church of Augusta? Seems like an open and spiritual place without too much care that a spiritual athiest would be in their midst.

I was born Mormon. Leaving the cult tends to create atheists. I liked the community of church though. Looking for a non-judgemental group of folks with good morals.

I've also looked at attending the Oasis Church in Hephzibah. If anybody has info on them.

TV Service

Does anyone know a good service to get some local channels reliably for cheap? My grandfather likes to watch the news and has a few local channels. He watches CBS, NBC, ABC, Fox, just every local news option, and maybe some preaching channels on Sunday (Not sure of their names). He had Comcast, but it's just expensive with fees and renting the equipment. It would be nice to have something internet-based that doesn't require any equipment rental, as I pay for the internet, so he wouldn't have to worry about that. Bonus points if it hooks up to apps like TiviMate as I can customize that so all his favorite channels are easy to get to.

Any suggestion would be appreciated. Thanks all.

Do Richmond county schools have volunteer opportunities for helping increase literacy?

Or similar programs that help students in other ways?

Buying a new construction in Harlem

I’m looking at new constructions in the Hickory Woods community (Stanley Martin). What I’ve been told is companies (like Stanley Martin) don’t exactly have a consistent quality because it depends on the subcontractors in the area.

I’m looking at the Lambert layout or the Hollins. Anyone that live there or know someone that lives there have any insight into the houses there?

I’m looking at ones that have already been built (instead of being involved in the building process).

Dry cleaner recommendations

Lifetime resident. Does anyone have recommendations for a dry cleaner that does leather and suede? We called several, with no luck. One place said the only option was Columbia or Atlanta.

Incident Near Stanton Optical

Corner of Bobby Jones and Washington Rd.

15 or so undercover police accompanied by Columbia and Richmond County flying down Old Evans Rd. SWAT, EMT, and Firetrucks on scene.

Looked like one car wrecked when I got to that intersection but the UC’s and other police cars weren’t there.

My assumption was an accident turned road rage incident that led to shooting.

Edit:

Answer from comments, murder suspect on the run caused the accident. He’s in custody.

Problems with AU/Wellstar

I want to know if anyone has had similar issues. I was a patient at AU and would regularly need lab work done for medication I take. Before this year the lab would cost $317 and insurance (UHC) would cover all but around $30, which I happily paid.

This year AU was bought out by Wellstar and changed their billing method. Now the same $317 lab test is not covered at all, meaning I owe $317 to the hospital. Apparently they have changed from billing as a facility to billing as a physician (UHC's words not mine) and that affects the covered amount. This feels very slimy on Wellstars part. Has anyone had similar issues?

ICE - Honest discussion

Why do we want to stop them from taking away people who came here illegally? And give me a logical reason, not emotional.

Please do not include:

  1. They have families here.

-And- 2) They contribute to the local economy.

Employment?

Just moved to the Augusta area, trying to find employment. I’ve applied at a few of the plants in Aiken with no success, really wanting to do shift work for the schedule but not totally necessary. I have a Tire industry background for the last 10 years or so, applied at a few of the local tire shops as well with no luck. Customer service/counter sales experience. Not really interested in landscaping or construction. Any leads or recommendations?
