Any drummers around Columbus ga?

I'm starting an emo band with my buddy (my name is Nik and our bassist is Drew). If you can play jazzy sounding fills and are a teenager (we're 18 and 20 so anywhere near that would be preferable), dm me and I'll email you some demos and tell me if you fw them. We're called f*cking hockey and have a show at the blue canary Dec 13th.

Liberty Gas insane prices

Can anybody fill me in on how exactly Liberty justifies a $47 bill when they clearly state I only used $5 of gas this past billing period?

Something about the “delivery fee” just seems a little off to me. I can’t help but wonder

Anybody have some tips on dealing with them if there’s a way around this? I’m in a rental so unfortunately I can’t switch to all electric

Healthcare

Hey everyone,

Happy Thanksgiving! I am making a post here to see if anyone knows of any PCPs/ family doctors who are known to be more patient-centered. Where I use to live, I had really good experiences across the board with my doctors (short waiting times, ample time with the physician, etc.). I always felt that my providers were putting in the effort to respect my time and get to know my needs. Here in Columbus, it seems that there are extensive waiting times and over-reliance on nursing staff. Don't get me wrong, I fully understand the purpose of nurses but I do get annoyed (and frustrated honestly) when my appointment is scheduled at a certain time and I'm waiting in the waiting area for 15+ minutes, then spend another 15 minutes talking with nursing staff, only to wait for another period of time, then ultimately have a small fraction of time with my actual provider.

I have noticed this with my PCP, and specialists, notably with their "chaperones" who seem to gather everything the provider needs so all they have to do is attempt to write me a prescription or something for my issue which is not what I'm use to or what I want. I want a provider who will take the time to discuss my issues with me directly instead of going off of what was inputted into the computer by the nurses. For example, during my last annual physical, the nurses did the "exam" which was not even a full exam and my actual PCP didn't do anything other than review the notes entered in by the nursing staff. The PCP did not examine me at all. I had maybe 10 minutes at most before we wrapped up and I felt like I wasn't fully taken care of. Every PCP I've had before I moved here would physically interact with my body (e.g., check my nose, ear, perform the general exam, etc.). Those appointments were always 20-30 minutes directly with the doctor. The nurses came in before for a brief 5 minutes (at most) simply to collect vitals and that was it. The doctors were even the ones who did bloodwork if needed.

If anyone has any experiences to share regarding this or knows of any more personable doctors to recommend, I'd appreciate it! Like I said, I understand that waiting times are typical and nurses have to be involved to some extent, but it is starting to get to the point where I question why I even go in person instead of just doing a tele-health appointment if it is only going to be 10 minutes with the provider anyway.

I want to help a feral cat...

I have been feeding a feral cat for about a year now and she seems to have hurt her leg. I would love to scoop her up and help but I can't get close.

Is there any vet in town that would work on a feral cat?

Is there anywhere in town to borrow a live trap?

Thank you
