Looking for people to trial our business

Have you ever wanted to have a painting of your partner, a family portrait, your dog or whatever your favorite photo is? I always loved the idea of painting but unfortunately I'm not the best at it. A few months ago though a friend and I came up with a cool idea, what if you could turn any photo you want into a paint by numbers. That way anyone can paint, anything they want.

We looked up custom paint by numbers and found a few Etsy stores selling them but they were way overpriced and most of them didn't even come with the canvas on a frame. So we looked around and talked to a bunch of suppliers, eventually we managed to produce custom paint by number kits cheaper then anywhere else and already framed (you can still order them without a frame but we found most people want them ready to go out of the box).

Long story short though we're trying to grow and get more people talking about us. So we decided it would be a good idea to reach out to some subreddits and hopefully you'll enjoy them enough to share your experience :)

You can use the code "COSTPRICEREDDIT" to get our kits for cost price (our margins are pretty slim right now we want to be as affordable as possible). You can get up to 4 kits at that price so feel free to buy a few and plan a date night, family activity or just get your Christmas shopping done early.

Arab lady Married and Just Moved to Beaumont

Hi I'm looking for the Arab women in Beaumont to befriend. My mom came to visit me and said my Arabic is becoming bad lol because I've been only talking to my cats in Arabic and teaching my Texan Husband. Do y'all know where I can find the Arabs? I can't always go to the mosque and I know there used to be an Arab grocer that closed.

Jobs require skills?

Hey everyone,

We are all like neighbors at this point. We all live in Beaumont, and I say jobs are hard to come by now-a-days. Jobs require skills and those pesky skills haven’t really developed to perform these jobs. That’s why I come to you today. To ask any advice on sources, websites, places, and etc. To help each other out to find these pesky jobs that ghost you, and see you as under/overqualified to then ignore you. We both need help and here is the place. Jobs might require you to know how to operate different tools, have previous experience, or even knowing some type of softwares. Newer and older generation can work together to help each other develop for the sake of our falling economy. Times are tough and we both can agree something needs to be done. Now let’s work together. As they say “Team work makes the dream work.” Thank you for taking the time to read this. Please share your thoughts and comments.

Best places to have a drink and meet people as a single woman?

Hello! I'm a 47 year old single female who has lived in Beaumont for a year, but is completely unfamiliar with the going out scene. I don't know anyone in the area and wondered if anyone was kind enough to have recommendations for a safe environment for a single woman to go have a drink and meet people. Any suggestions are appreciated!

Small Business owners watch out.

Recently a group of 7 to 10 people tried to scam my business. With two girls in charge that go by Jo. SCHIWART and Leyda Prz. Theres a third one that just does what she is told and that one is Jewels …..stay away as far as you can. They are not the smartest career criminals and they are on the path of their own destruction lol but they will try to ruin you on social media. Luckily most people have common sense and saw right through their BS story. Still its an inconvenience for sure. Both Joanne and Lydia are on the FBI watch list and have an active case going.

I also have a current active harassment case with sapd regarding them.

TV Shows and Movies with References to Beaumont, TX?

Hey everyone! I’ve recently noticed a couple of TV shows and movies with nods to Beaumont, TX, and it got me curious. For example:

  • The Simpsons has an episode where they mention a chili cook-off, and Beaumont gets a shout-out.
  • Documentary Now! has a character who’s from Beaumont, which was a nice surprise.

What other shows or movies reference Beaumont. Anyone know of any other good ones?

What can we do to make this city better, lively, im proving schooling, housing and just overall quality of living and economy?

A serious discussion. I see potential in the city. Had some history, some rich folks who dont mind investing, a moderate sized population, the sea and a port, easy access. This place could be 100x better with bigger malls, more variety of stores and businesses.

Is there something we can do? Or is it always going to be failing city because of poor politics, oil money pushing poverty deeper or just overall bad council members? Does the city not get good funding? Who is in charge of proposing plans to the state for funding?

It seems as if something bigger its stopping its growth? No city with existing port and great access to the port can ever be this bad. Port = economy $$ = more business = more settlers righht?

Trying to get to the bottom of this. If need to identify the problem first. Why us beaumont, tx not becoming better?

My name is Dr. Thomas Brooks and I am a researcher at New Mexico Highlands University, living in Denton, TX. 

 

I am working on a large-scale project about Texas nationalism and I would like your help with a survey I am conducting on adults (18+) who are residents in Texas. 

 

If you have time, I’d appreciate if you could take the following short survey and share it with your family/friend! 

 

Thank you so much, here is a link to the survey: https://tamuc.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_bdcoD9doIzds2Am

 

Please reach out if you have any questions! 

 

Please note: The survey does not advocate nor aim to discriminate Texit or supporters of Texit.

Welding/ Fabrication Jobs

Hello I’m about to finish welding school in December and want to get a head start on job hunting. I’m looking for jobs in the Beaumont & Port Arthur area and in between them. We studied GTAW & SMAW Pipe ComboTig and Stick Arc Welding. So if anyone has any leads on jobs that are also no experience other than school friendly places please drop them. I know traveling is where I can find most work but I want to get about 3-6 months of experience first so I don’t get laughed off a job sight just yet lol.

Injured Pigeon - Port Arthur Area

Just looking for information to help a pigeon that ended up in my yard. The wing is hanging down, so more than likely is broken. I know people will say "it's just a pigeon" but I really want to help the bird. Are there any rehabilitation places in the area? I called animal control and they referred me to a number for Parks and Wildlife. Nobody answers the phone. Looked up other numbers and when calling, you can't speak to anyone. Nothing on the website shows rehabilitation people in the area. In the meantime, I put some water out. Not sure what to feed it. I tossed some bread and it ate some. I know it's not the best option but I don't have anything else like bird seed or anything.

The worst drivers I’ve ever seen

Mini rant. To preface I’ve lived in higher density areas like Dallas I also travel for work all around the US so I feel like I’m qualified to speak on this.

I’ve never seen worse drivers than on my commute to work in Beaumont. Changing lanes without signaling, changing lanes into me, swerving across 4 lanes to get to their exit when someone misses it. Every single rain there a wreck, people always on their phones. Countless times I’ve had people run stop signs or red lights leaving me swerving into ditches as to not t-bone them.

The absolute worse drivers and I’ve finally hit a tipping point, been in too many close calls, any thoughts as to why it’s SO bad here?
