I live by myself and own a very nice 4 bedroom 2.5 bathroom home. It's in a very nice neighborhood (Tara Falls) in between the Greene and Fairborn. I'm a software engineer and wfh 1-2 days of the week. The house is very big (3400 sq ft) so it's fairly easy to find quiet time and space when you need it. I also have two cats that are not dog friendly unfortunately. Non-smoking, but if you keep it to outdoors I'll consider it.
On Monday two of our doodles got out. We quickly retrieved one but our BROWN MINI GOLDENDOODLE approx 25lbs is still missing. Numerous sightings Monday night put her in the area of Lane Stadium. We set up cameras and ran a drone and found nothing. Last night we had a report of a dog that fit her description near Volusia and Brown St. The rescue people we are working with have indicated she is in survival mode, which means she is not approaching people and is probably more active at night and hiding during the day. More than likely, we will have to set a trap to retrieve her but right now it’s a needle in the haystack. If anyone has seen or heard of a dog that fits that description in the area either message me on here or contact Oakwood or University of Dayton’s nonemergency police line. All we want is our Bella back.
Hello! I’m ISO an intermediate/advanced Spanish language club for adults. Since moving to Ohio, I’ve had less and less opportunities to speak Spanish and I am afraid to forget it. I am wondering if there are Spanish speaking clubs here for adults to practice conversation. I don’t have the funds to pay for conversational classes/tutors right now unfortunately. I’m sure some schools have them, I’m just not a student D; thank you!
*If this doesn’t exist here and you are of intermediate/advanced level and would be interested in attending this, please let me know!
Where do you prefer to charge? Just bought my EV and while I plan on charging at home it is best to have pre-planned options in case I need a quick charge while out. Stopped off at the WPAFB museum on Saturday but that charger was so slow I could probably charge it faster my pushing the thing! Problem was the only functional charger was both shared and seemed to be low output. Think I will create a Chargepoint account as they have the most chargers in the area (Electrify America is a joke it seems).
Looking for the most delish cold cut Italian sandwich in Dayton/Kettering/Centerville area. Honkin meats, great vinaigrette/dressing, veggies, really good bread. Help me satisfy my craving!
You know what add to this post recommendations for best chicken salad sandwich. I’m on a crazy sandwich kick.
Anyone else have whatever this upper respiratory virus is that is making the rounds? It is miserable and seems to just be lingering. Everyone in the house has it, and we are congested, exhausted, and NOT holly or jolly 😒 we are pushing the fluids, taking it easy, and hoping this will be gone by Christmas. Anyone else down with the sickness? 😷
Back in 2021, my ex-partner was arrested for domestic violence. This is when we lived separately in Allen County. In 2023, a neighbor called the police on him, and he was arrested once again for pinning me down in front of the toddlers.
Children Services ordered him to take anger management classes, and he completed it while on probation.
I moved to the homeless shelter in Montgomery County and broke my lease. I was provided housing from the homeless shelter. Abuser followed me to Montgomery County from Allen County.
He promised me he changed, and he wanted to help me with furniture and cleaning. I let him inside and he did not physically harm me anymore. It became a verbal abusive relationship. Constantly called me names and wanted me to kill myself so he can gain custody. All a retaliation because I had him arrested twice.
Long story short, He has me kicked out of my own house! He filed a protection order because someone told him to because he said he feared for his life.
Youngest baby is 8 months old and is breastfed and I am not allowed near any of my 5 kids. He is ordered to pay child support for only one child that is proven to be his. I can't even spend Christmas with my babies. I have 2 teenagers and 3 in diapers. What can I do before the hearing on December 27th?
Landlord doesn't know who he is and the government rental assistance program doesn't know who he is. Nobody is working fast enough to get him out. Even my protection order against HIM doesn't work for getting him out. He does not work, and I work 50 hours a week. He's trying to build a case to win custody.
I'm from Northeast Ohio, and in my community up there when you lock your keys in your car and you call the non-emergency line the police will do you a solid and help get your car unlocked. Not all communities do this and I would find it deeply embarrassing if I asked and they said no, but I work at a bar and locked myself out of my car last night. Should I ask, or bite the bullet and pay for a locksmith? Thanks all :)
edit: it's right next to UD, definitely a college bar, should have noted
edit 2: thank you all! appreciate the tips, got it taken care of. going to finally get to sleep.
Hi, is it just me and my friends or does anyone else think the new version of nutcracker is extremely underwhelming and well…bad.
I’ve loved the dayton ballet nutcracker for years, I was even in it. But the new choreography seems dull and boring and there’s way to much set, and way to little room for dancing, it just seemed like the dancers had nowhere to go (and that’s coming from a set design student)
It’s just the same moves over and over and they cut the most interesting dances and even aged Clara up but that’s more a pet peeve. Completely cutting Tea just seems like a very poor choice. And the “Arabian” and “Russian” were also underwhelming. Plus the house and fight scenes were just plain bad.
Just looking for a reputable, safe place to get some extractions, serums, and masks to relax. Thanks in advance!
If so, have you found it to be incredibly toxic and rude? All I see are crazy people, rude comments, and admins either doing nothing or banning the wrong people.
Lol, just wanted to hear y'all's opinions.
Looking for volunteering opportunities for Christmas and Christmas eve, ant time of the day. Around dayton would be preferred but I wouldn't mind driving a ways.
AT&T reps are going door to door. If you have a no soliciting sign on your door they will hang out in your front yard talking loudly til you go see what's going on. This technique has been used twice on me this week.
Look for me. I'll be covered in buttons, so I'll be easy to find. Say howdy!
Anybody have recommendations for tattoo shops in Dayton or nearby there, looking to get a simple sketch of a floral piece I want done
If possible list what the prices are like that you know of, thanks!
Looks like they are now "Versiti". How long ago was it they changed their name to "Solvita"?
Must be somebody's in-law in the sign or printing business.

I found this pin in a restaurant in Centerville a week or so ago. It looks kind of important. Does anyone know what it’s for? If anyone knows anyone missing a pin like this, I can return it.
I need a commercial City of Dayton certified electrician for pulling electrical permits and working with the fire marshal to install some smoke detectors and CO detectors --- any suggestions? I currently have quotes from Reliable Electric, A-Abel, Calvin Electric. Thanks!
Does anyone have any personal experience with Ketamine infusion therapy for depression/anxiety in the area. I have heard some good things and was wondering if anyone could share recommendations, how much does it costs, what to expect, did it help you and any other information. Thx much appreciated.

Hey Everyone, I just wanted to see if anyone knew what the traveling customer trainer job is like at R&R. Was also wondering if they make you do their drug tests at time of hire or if its random saliva tests. Thanks!
🤌 $8 Jackfruit Sandwich looked like it was 🔥! And price was on point!
Toxic spreading the love for young talented guys!
Any ideas of places open for breakfast on Christmas ?
Hiii! Does anyone have their kids in the greater Dayton school? (That huge private school they just built on the river) I looked over their website and it looks amazing, but I’d like some info from people that have kids there! How much is it per quarter / year? Is it open enrollment? If your kids have struggled in public schools (the reason I’m considering it) have they improved ? I’d be looking for next school year so I have some time to figure things out. (I’ve also looked into rivers edge Montessori so if you have info there I’d love to know about it! Or any alternative schools nearby) Tia! 🥰
