Salon recommendations?

Hello, I'm currently in school getting my license to become a hairstylist/cosmetologist. I'm getting close to my graduation and have begun looking around at different salons in the area. I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations or positive experiences to share? Rather from the perspective of a professional or client, all input is welcome 👍

Custom Cake

So my friend is coming up on one year smoke free and to celebrate I just wanna get her a half sheet cake that has Michael Myers on it with "You're killin it" in red letters. Walmart used to be able to put images on cake but when I called they said they can't do it unless they already have the image and they only have Krueger and Jason. Any ideas on where I could do this? I already tried HyVee too.

Looking for some help

I turned 18 in March and decided to move to Springfield, unfortunately my vehicle gained a rod knock which caused me to lose my job and then the place I was staying. I made it back to Arkansas with my mom but my car is still stuck in Springfield. I managed to get it to someone’s house in Springfield that I don’t know but said they’d fix it. Issue is they said I’d have to get a motor . If anyone has a 3.7 v6 motor (and possibly transmission too) that’ll fit a 2013 ford explorer police interceptor. I’m desperately searching. I don’t have much so all I can do is offer trades of what I do have or I can do payments. Any help would be appreciated.

Cox vs Mercy employment

Needing to decide today. Have offers from both. Cox is in a really cool department and the people seemed really excited to have me. I heard they have a really strict attendance policy and my kids are sick often and have lots of doctors appointments though.

Mercy is a work from home job, so I won't have to deal with their in person weirdness. (Praying at meetings) it pays 40 cents more plus a sign on bonus. Won't have to take off work when kids are sick. I get to work in pajamas.

Any insight? How are the benefits at each? How much are you paying for healthcare?

Gym for weight loss

Hey! I’m looking for a gym, i’m currently on a weight loss journey and i’ve tried planet fitness but the vibe just isn’t it. I’m just worried about being stared at i guess. I’ve never really been to a gym other than planet fitness. I’m not the most wealthy person either so please not somewhere that’s super expensive monthly ❤️

Looking for a quick state car inspection

I’m on a deadline to get my expired tags renewed for a car that I don’t plan on using for much longer (I got a ticket/court date or I would just move on to buying a different one.)

I’m afraid to go to a place that’s going to comb through it and find expensive repairs, I recently fixed the things obvious stuff I could get dinged for myself (busted out taillight, wiper blades) so if anyone knows of/has experienced a shop that goes quick, you would be my savior!

Definitely willing to drive to a bordering town. Thanks.

PSA: I found out today the asian market on Glenstone next to the neighborhood market walmart is closing soon :(

What a shock! I talked to the lady inside and her son in law is the owner. They will be taking ownership of Seoul since that owner is retiring and also opening a make yourself Ramen shop (which is pretty cool) behind that location. I'm really going to miss that place. I've been going there for years. My business card is on the wall behind the register that I gave the owner 6 years ago since I saw he was going into real estate also and had just started my business. It's great for them, but I'm going to miss how close I could get their specialty products. They are currently having sales of 25% off for cards purchases and 30% off for cash purchases. They plan to close around Thanksgiving unless they run out of stock before then. Since I just saw it today and hadn't seen any other news I figured I would let everyone know. They will be missed. Now would be a great time to stock up for anyone who makes a lot of asian dishes. I plan to go back a few times before they close for good. I hope they get an outpour of appreciation and wish wells as they transition to their new position.

Finding elder care in Springfield?

My parents live in Springfield and I live in the Kansas City area on the Kansas side. I am looking for a social worker or agency that can recommend care facilities when the time comes. They are 89 and 91, and both are doing well in their home. I would like to find some places that would work for them when the time comes. Proactively get them on a wait list. Memory care is not needed as of right now. Thanks so much.

Best pharmacy to send ADHD prescription

I know the title is suspicious but I promise I have a diagnosis lmao. Basically just wanting to know which pharmacy consistently has ADHD meds like Ritalin.

Context: I was diagnosed as an adult a few years ago and have been trying to deal with life unmedicated and it is not working great! So I've been trying to get medicated. It's taking a while. I got a prescription for Ritalin earlier this year and had it sent to the Walgreens in Republic but it was on back order there. While I was waiting I guess my prescription expired so I was never able to get it filled. I couldn't get another appointment with my psychiatrist for a month so I'm biting the bullet and going to Eustasis tomorrow. (Have not had the best experiences with them but if anything I know I'll get a prescription.) I'm wondering which pharmacy I should have it sent to where it'll actually get filled.
