Does anyone have any recommendations for sprinkler installation companies. Looking for legit companies, not someone who does this on the side or whatever, someone that I know will still be in business 3-5 years from now, etc.

I’ve been dealing with sleep problems for a long time due to stress and other reasons. I saw a psychologist who prescribed me a sleep medication, but I didn’t like its effects. I’m considering using melatonin, but before that, I’d like to check my blood levels. Would I be able to do this at the emergency department of a hospital, or is there a cheaper place where I can get it checked for between $20-50? I’ve been in the country for a year now, and I’m on my own, which has added to my stress and makes it difficult for me to sleep.

Hey! Does anyone know where to find a donation drop off box in Garland? The one that looks like a garbage can?

Hey everyone,

Found an adult male white mix pit bull with black spots with a grey collar in my neighborhood. He is merely lost and not a stray. Very friendly and sweet as well as neutered.

Found him in coomer creek neighborhood off of Clearhaven and W Schreiber St.

I was able to take him to Med Vet animal hospital to check for a chip and was able to locate it.

Chip: 985141003516232

Unfortunately I have a dog and cannot keep him with me, and all animal shelters are closed today after calling 30 different places. I took him back to where I found him on clearhaven street.

If anyone is able to please pass this along and/or post to Facebook/nextdoor for visibility I would sincerely appreciate it. One of the neighbors said they have seen him the last two days roaming around.

i cant find any in my direct area and driving around isint helping so if you guys know a common spot or camp that would be great

Hey everyone! Looking for a trusted used car dealership to buy a sporty, reliable sedan (Lexus/Honda) without the hassle. If you’re a car expert or know a good spot, I’d love your advice. Thanks!

I have had the worst luck with transmission repair shops. Ive been to 3 in the area and each was its own nightmare. Currently I have an Impala that has been in the Rowlett Transmission shop for over six months and I have no idea what is going on with it. The place never calls me.

I started this nearly year long process with The Transmission Shop on Central last summer. They charged me $1700 to do a terrible job. I drove the car straight to Rowlett Transmissions based on a recommendation and they said the drivetrain was a mess. Nothing was put back correctly and the transmission itself apparently spun a bolt through the transmission casing and they've been looking for a case, apparently ever since. The only communication I get is when I call.

The last time I called they offered to quote me a couple alternative prices. The kid answering the phone indicated that he'd prepare a couple quotes. I told him I might just want to tow it elsewhere. The kid said I'll get you a quote for taking the car and Ill give you a quote if we finish the job. I told him that would be very helpful. He never sent anything, probably laughing at me as he tells me lies.

I need a lawyer, tired of transmission shops, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Anyone know what’s up? It seems like a lot of neighborhoods are affected?

Thinking about starting an improv acting class. I want to see if there is an interest from these communities. Before starting this class. It’s for fun and to meet people that share the same interested.

My husband applied to an open position in Garland, and I'm researching the area. So far it looks like it would be a good fit for our family since we'll need access to a sub specialty at Dallas Children's and close proximity an airport for my work. We have three kids, a 17 year old with autism and special needs, (he would need a good self contained/non-main streamed speecial ed program), and 10 year old twins. It looks like there are some great magnet schools in Garland, but we would likely need start at a regular district school since we'd be coming in mid schoolyear. Are there any elementary or middle schools we should avoid? We would likely rent the first 6-12 months and then buy. My husband previously lived in a small town in the Texas panhandle area and he loved it until he had to move to California for work. We have been looking into moving to TX or NM for a while. Are there any neighborhoods that are more family friendly? Our home purchase budget will be about 300k max, and we'd be happier with a bigger yard and easy going neighbors, (vs. hoa/more upscale housing). Thanks!

I’ll be in Garland for work this week and would love to eat some good, local food. What are your favorite spots?

(Looks like the last general food recc post was from 3 years ago)

I’m open to anything! Thanks!!

Map link Anybody know what's going on with this lot? I was over there yesterday and the building has been torn down and grass planted. The building looked fine from the outside the last time I was by there, so I doubt it was condemned. The grass makes me think maybe it's gonna be turned into a park, but I don't know how to check that.

Hi I'm looking for a job in the Autobody industry, I have went to almost every good shop around me and no call back :( maybe because they won't like to train me or slow season. Is anyone hiring part time?

Was just coming back into town from out of town and I’m starting to see homeless tents pop up in northern garland. How bad has it gotten?

What are some steakhouses or other establishments where I can get amazing steak for my lunch or dinner?

Anybody works for the city of Garland? Neighbor keeps putting his trash and recycle bin along with a shopping cart on my property next to the dividing fence.

Looking for something basic to feel more energetic and prepare for labor. Currently 15w4d and pretty sedentary.

Anyone local selling a cash truck for cheap? Was hit by an uninsured driver & I only carry liability insurance. Currently in need of a cash car to get through a little bit. Prefer something like a Ford ranger, but open to others. Truck or SUV definitely preferred over car. Needs a working motor that gets good compression. Bad transmission is fine, I want to learn to rebuild them anyway. What's out there? Thanks

Went to see about a dog they had on their website shown as up for adoption. When we got there and inqured, the employee first said the dog was available for viewing and adoptable. After looking a little longer at the computer, he apologized and said the dog was marked for "rescue only" so we wouldn't be able to view or adopt it. Does anyone know what "rescue only" means exactly. That's what I thought I was there to do!?

Hi all – I'm conscious that this is a big ask, but reaching out here with a plea to the Reddit and broader community. I'm desperate yet hopeful to find a donor for my needed kidney transplant. I’ve been fighting kidney failure since 2005 from my initial diagnosis and my health has now reached the stage where I am in imminent need of a transplant to live.

If you or someone you know is Blood Type O (+ or -) and willing to consider kidney donation, you’d be saving my life. Feel free to DM me and can discuss more details, donors can be located anywhere in the US and I am registered at Fort Worth Medical Center for the procedure. Additionally, if you are a different blood type (A, AB or B) you can still donate in a 'paired exchange' which would help me get matched with someone who is a blood type match.

The associated costs of evaluation, surgery, travel, and lost wages will be covered by my insurance and various programs and you will have a separate team of healthcare professionals that will evaluate you as a living donor. They will help you understand the associated risks and benefits and ensure your well-being in the eval / procedure.

Thanks again to all who are able to help / read / promote.

Has anyone experienced anything bad from “decorative real estate” in garland texas?

The owner Olivia is very weirdo unprofessional. and i got a bad gut feeling about it. Curious if anyone else has experience with this office or if im trippin’.

Of course the recent reviews and their posts are good. the super old reviews are bad and explain her weirdo attitude. But wondering if they scam people out too???

Hello I'm looking to put my 3 yr old and 10month old kids in daycare and very unfamiliar with garland. Due to not being able to find anyone else watch my kids I'm looking into daycare knowing how expensive it can get. Any recommendations would be appreciated.

Does anyone know what happened? We were stuck on the bridge for 15 minutes without moving. Eventually cars started driving the other way even though it’s literally one way.
