Boxing Classes at "The Basement"

I just wanted to let the local community that I will be teaching Boxing and possibly a mix of striking styles in the Basement Gym. For now it will be Tuesdays and Thursdays starting at 5:30 to 6:30 to start then eventually 6:30 to 7:30 (2 hours total) The price is 125.00/month and will have a start up fee, which will cover gloves and wraps. Contact the owner Jamie for more information and when you can get in. Spots will be limited per class.

About me: I am the owner of a gym called Fight Club Fitness located in Birmingham Alabama. On my off days I am a local resident here in Florence. My girlfriend and I just bought a house here and love the area. She is originally from Florence where I was snatched from Worcester Mass. I hope to meet and see some new faces!

20yo looking for friends

i recently turned 20 the other day and some reason ive become more and more lonley i just want someone to talk to or hangout with in my area. im live in florence but i just dont know how im suppose to make friends in this area if ive never gone to school here, most people already have friend groups around here so i usually just feel like an outcast but if anyone else is having the same issue id love to talk. i play video games and binge watch shows/movies all day so im usually never busy.

I miss it..

There use to be a record shop down here (or a similar area if I’m wrong). I think they had an original xbox set up with og halo on it.

Sucks that they stopped existing. Idk what happened, but it was a chill place to look for records.

Missing purse

I know it's a long shot but I left my purse on top of the car and drove off onto Veterans. Went back not five minutes later and didn't see it. If you know anything about it please let me know.

Is anyone playing Tabletop looking for a new Player?

Hey, I am a 27-year-old dude who lives around the Shoals area. I'm a returning player with just 5 years of mixed player and DM experience. I am returning to the game after a few years and looking to join a new or existing game. I love to DM but feel uncomfortable DMing at the moment, and I want to get back in as a player to get the hang of it all again.

I like the Homebrew settings a little more, but would play an existing setting or module. I was/am a big Critical Role fan, so I know Exandria reasonably well.

I'm looking for a cool, relaxed group that loves to have fun, joke around, and play DnD. Preferably 21 or older as I am getting older. I am entirely open to just about anything. I love the Roleplay, the story, the adventure, the mystery, the combat, everything. I am not afraid to get deep into the roleplay, do voices, and joke around; I can get along with pretty much everyone.

I can play just about whenever on weekdays after work. Availability shouldn't be an issue for me at all.

Thanks for reading. Feel free to reach out and ask me anything!

Adult Gathering Spots?

I'm a nontraditional student at UNA (early 40's). I live close to Decatur and have a small social circle there, but I spend the majority of my time in Florence.

I'm also rocketing towards divorce, and will likely move to the Florence area afterwards because rent is cheaper than Decatur.

I like my classmates, but they're all almost young enough to be my children. I'm desperate for some sort of social outlet that doesn't involve studying for an exam.

I'm a bit neurodivergent, very liberal, atheist, and can talk nonstop about science, philosophy, and social justice issues. I'm currently part of a DnD campaign, but I'm still kind of a newbie.

So, church isn't going to work. 🤣

Any suggestions for places a slightly weird woman could make new friends?

Does anyone know what’s on fire right now? The sky is so weird and it seems there is ash floating in the air.

Mosquitos

I am sorry if this is a stupid thread, but I’m losing my mind, lol. I just moved to the area (in city limits) from out West and the mosquitos in my backyard are literally eating me alive. I think it’s probably too late in the year to pay someone to spray for them, right? I cannot walk outside without getting mauled and it’s driving me insane. Is this normal? Do people here put on bug spray to exist in their yards? Will I ever know peace? Thanks.

Florence AA on display?

Not trying to be funny or cute or ironic or clever or disparaging…

Why is that one AlAnon house near the old hospital so obvious with signs on the door?

Out of town guests laugh or are shocked when they see drive by it: doesn’t that defeat the point of the “anonymous” part?

The attendees park across the street, walk across the street, and congregate outside waiting for it to open up.
