LF Mobile Massage

Hello, Columbus!

I'll be in town for the week. I suffer from chronic back pain, and it gets worse when I travel. Does anyone know of a good mobile massage therapist? My schedule will be really tight, so it will be easier if they can come to me. If that doesn't work out, I'll try Mystic Massage. Several people have left positive reviews.

If you have a regular game night of DND, Catan, or whatever else you like to nerd out with and are open to inviting some new friends, drop your username below so they can find you.If you are looking for some people in the area to game with, put yourself out there by commenting below. This post will be updated each week with the names of those who've asked to be included in order to help more players regularly connect. Sign up anytime, or drop a message if you want your name removed from future posts.

If anyone knows of a regular community game at one of the area's gaming stores, post about it here and that will be updated too.

If you'd rather just talk about gaming that's fine too, anything goes if it's within the sub's rules. Finally, please use your best judgment, be law abiding, and be safe when making plans to meet new people; feel each other out first, don't be a creep, be legit, etc.

Stolen trash can

Somebody stole my black city can while I was at work today. They were just out of view of my cameras so I don’t have any evidence. Should I file a police report or should I just bite the bullet and pay for a new one?

My wife is looking for work

Hello everyone as you read in the subtitle, my wife is looking for work. She has a masters degree in business management. We have applied to the big three companies here for many positions but she hasn’t even gotten an interview back. We’ve also applied at retailers Best Buy, Lowe’s TJ Maxx, etc. really this is just a plea if anyone knew any recruiters or had any connections to at least get her an interview talk and meet with someone she’s been so eager to work. we have been applying for jobs for her for over a year and nothing has landed even a simple interview and that is for all remote positions in Georgia or hybrid or on site. Any suggestions would be great thank you!

CACC using tasers?

I've heard one eyewitness report of an officer scaring a stray with a taser and have a coworker whose dog has injuries to her face after an incident with an "Officer Money" that are consistent with damage from extended contact with a taser. Does anyone know anything about this? Are officers allowed to use tasers on animals?

Are there any fun to do in this city

I’ve lived here in this city for about a year and a half and have been trying to go out more but I don’t know where to go. There aren’t a lot of places to hike and i don’t know where to find events for the city.

Callaway gardens??

So me, my fiance, and a couple of our friends went exploring the old Callaway gardens building but I can't seem to find much online about it or why it shut down other than the bankruptcy issues. Does anyone have any info on it or old pictures from when it was up and running. There are pictures of it posted on my profile if anyone wants to see to jog their memory lol

Go to for oil change?

I’m wondering if you have a go to spot for an oil change? I’m looking specifically for somewhere a bit more affordable. It seems like the quick change places are a little steep for me.

Man with scribbles on his face allegedly threatened to blow up the Opelika Ulta

The original article is at this link. I went down a rabbit hole.

TW Sexual Assault

I believe the dude is also a registered sex offender based on this page. The mugshots are very similar and the rest of the data matches up. Original article about the original crime here.

Voting “booths” at the City Service Center

I went to vote early recently and noticed that when you enter the room with the machines, you can see each and every screen very clearly. There was absolutely zero privacy in there. I don’t remember this from voting in the past, although I have previously gone to Columbus Tech for early voting and my own precinct for regular voting. Long, long ago there were curtains put up around a voting booth. I’m not saying we have to do that, but a little privacy would be comforting when performing such a sacred and important act.

Barbers that use a straight razor?

I've been though a few of the past threads already.

But I wanted to ask for recommendations for barbers that use a straight razor for the neck.

Frustrating to visit a barber to find out they don't. Are they even a barber?

We Need Clinic Escorts!

Columbus GA is in need of abortion clinic escorts!

Essentially, your job as a clinic escort is to direct patients to the clinic. That's it! There are protestors outside the clinic here, and patients need the support and directional guidance. Patients are traveling from Texas, Louisiana, and Mississippi to receive healthcare, once they arrive, the last thing they need is harassment and judgement from protestors.

Volunteering requires at most 4 hours per clinic day, and there are 2 clinic days per week. Volunteer whenever able. We appreciate anytime you can give, and we desperately need weekday volunteers.

If interested, please fill out a volunteer application. https://linktr.ee/Colgaprochoice

If you are unable to volunteer, there are other ways to help. We are always taking donations to provide signage, water, etc. We also have an Amazon wishlist. Following us on social media helps to spread the word.

Lastly, we always recommend spreading the word about PlanCpills.org. if you go on their website, you can receive free stickers to post around town to spread the word on abortion pills by mail. Get more info on all these resources here: https://linktr.ee/Colgaprochoice
