Kittens + Mama cat

I have been raising some kittens. They are 4 weeks old and doing great. 5 babies. I’m going to have to part with them soon.

I have two indoor babies myself and it’s putting an unfortunate strain on our relationship. My cats are stressed and overeating cause of Mama being in my bathroom.

I’m going to put them out there for adoption to make sure that they get exceptional homes at 8 weeks or older.

DM me if you are looking for a new member of the family. Or 2.

Rent/looking to be a roommate

Hello everyone,

I (27M) here and I know this is probably a long shot but I’m trying to get all my ducks in a row before February. I’m looking for a place to rent below 850$ a month or looking for anyone who may need a roommate starting before March 1st next year. Im trying to avoid having to be super tight on money.

I have a cat so that’s my only caveat but I’m willing to verify anything else if needed.

Columbia Museum of Art Classes

Has anyone ever paid and signed up for any of the classes in the Columbia Museum of Art? How was it? Was thinking of going to the bookbinding class with my friend!

Missing News Headline

Hey everyone. Wanted to reach out & see if anyone can find a specific news headline. The headline involves my now father in-law. He aired on WLTX news 19 in either 2008 or 2009. All attempts made by myself, my wife & my father in-law have yielded zero results. The details are as follows:

My father in-law was working at the BP gas station on Rosewood Drive Columbia around 2008 or 2009. One night, a man came in, grabbed a few cases of beer & walked out of the store in a robbery attempt. My father in-law, approximately 27 at the time, ran outside & bodyslammed the man German suplex style. Once the man regained his footing, my father in-law proceeded to pelt this goober with the beer bottles that had spread all over the asphalt. This entire playwright was made into a story on WLTX 19, including an interview with my father in-law warning potential criminals to think twice before coming to his gas station. During the interview, he had a cigarette in his mouth & one in his ear.

Any assistance to find this headline and/or the interview would be greatly appreciated. Can't find it on the WLTX website. Thanks.

New Year's Eve Events 2024?

Is anyone aware of NYE events in Cola this year? I've heard of a few but haven't been to any of them yet. I always have a hard time finding events, deciding what to go to, and therefore actually going.

Looking for past experiences and current recommendations!

Nearby events (Charlotte, Greenville, Charleston, etc.) are great info as well -Thank you!!

Best place to get women’s haircut?

I asked a few weeks ago for recommendations for locations to get men’s hair cuts and it did not disappoint so I’m here again to ask for recommendations for locations to get young women’s haircuts? Not necessarily looking for a place that specializes in hair color, styling or extensions etc but rather actual haircuts for women in their 20s? Which salons are your favorites?

Internet in Columbia

My partner and I are moving into her parents’ place in Columbia, and were looking into internet options. Her parents are currently Spectrum customers, but we’ve noticed the internet speed is embarrassingly slow and they’re paying more than they should for the service. We got excited about the expanding fiber optic services, but they’re currently not available to our address. AT&T offers us their wireless Air internet with 300 MBPS until they get fiber coverage in the area. Are they a better option in the meantime? Are there any other promising services worth investigating in the area?

Good Apartments in Cola

Hello!! I am moving to Columbia this summer and will be just out of college starting a new job downtown. I am wondering if anyone knows of any apartment buildings, preferably near Cottontown or Elmwood Park, that have a lot of younger people / college grads or would be a good transition out of college life. My only real requirements are that they allow pets and have an in-unit washer and dryer. Thank you!!!

Dermatologist taking new patients?

I've struggled with redness and flaking on my face that comes and goes for years. Doesn't matter the weather, stress, or diet. It seems to have a mind of its own. Being stubborn and stupid, I've never had a REAL dermatologist check it out.

Any recs for offices taking new patients (without having to have a referral from a primary physician), hopefully in the NE Richland County area?

Thanks in advance

Thrift stores

Hey folks! Does anybody have any recommendations for decent thrift stores with really nice things or fun, quirky things around the Lexington/Irmo/Columbia areas? I have been to a few Goodwills around the area but I wanted to know where others might be going or have gone and found some great items! Do you have a favorite?

Any recommendations would be super appreciated!

West Columbia Riverwalk

Does anyone know why the riverwalk is still closed in the park area in front of Black Rooster. They only have a little section of the park open by the amphitheater for walking but then each way is closed. Is this the same throughout the riverwalk further down Cayce? Is it due to damage from the flooding still? Seems clear from distance.

Large Cache of Yarn

I have a large collection of yarn that I am trying to find a home for after two family members who were into crochet passed away. I've reached out to a few senior centers but no dice 😔. I hate to donate it to Goodwill or the Salvation Army to sell. Anybody have any ideas?

Thank you for sanitation workers

This happened in West Columbia.

We forgot to put our trash out early for the holiday, and almost missed pickup this morning. My husband was home so he got out as fast as he could to get our can to the curb, but he’s currently on crutches. The workers not only reversed back to grab our can when they saw him, they also went so far as to return our can back to the side of our house because of my husband’s injury (he was already back inside by this point).

This was such a kind gesture. Even small things like this can really make a difference in someone’s day. I want to thank them, so I’m wondering what might be an appropriate way to do this?

I’m thinking maybe a card with a cash tip they could split? But I don’t know if it’s even always the same crew. I just really want them to know they are appreciated.

Thank you for any help :)

New Here!

Hi everyone! My fiancé and I are in our 20s, and we recently moved to Columbia. We’re looking for church recommendations. I come from non-denominational and he comes from Methodist, if that helps.

On an unrelated note, I’m also looking for a beginners workout group/classes! I want to start working out and building up my stamina/strength.

It would also be cool to find some groups and make friends!! I love coffee, cats, books, plants; pretty much anything.

TIA!!

Candlelight service or partaking of the season

Hello all. As we’re new and living in the Lexington area. Does anyone know of a Christmas candlelight or if a Christmas service? It doesn’t matter what denomination as long as it’s spiritual believing of the God above. Thank you. Please be polite. I acknowledge for “each is his own”.
