Please return our bowl

To whoever took our bowl, please return it, no questions asked. Taking all the candy was fine, even expected, but we were not giving our bowl away, please return it

Tigercon

This might be a long shot. Is anyone going to Tigercon that plays with Beyblades? I want to find others who enjoy the hobbies.

Looking for a woman to take over my lease

Hey y’all. I need someone who identifies as female to take over my lease at The Gates on Baytree road. I accepted a job in Florida and I need to move soon. You will be renting a private room and bathroom for $599 a month not including utilities. I’ve never paid more than $650 on rent. The room you’ll be renting is also the biggest in the apartment. The roommates are all female hence the need for someone who a woman or identifies as female to take over my lease. The apartment is pet friendly and 420 friendly. There’s a one time registration fee for pets. Though The Gates is advertised as student living you can be a non student and still rent. To sweeten the deal I can give you $250 cash upon confirmation that you signed my lease (we can negotiate if need be). Take over my lease now and you’re guaranteed to be able to move in before January 6 2025z I wish I could stay I liked it over here a lot but I need to move for my new job.

Is the area by McKey hotel safe?

Just passing through. Advice on safest hotels in the area? Online research results were slim.

I like what I see on the McKey website, but I see that they don’t have parking which means I would be leaving my car on the street or in a lot.

Thanks in advance!

Anyone near Valdosta State University

Growing up I spent most summer vacations at my grandparent's house off Holly Dr near VSU. They have been gone a few decades now, and we no longer have any family in the area. Was wondering if someone could swing by and take a few pictures so we can see how it survived the storm/if it's still standing/etc. If you're in the area and can swing by let me know and I'll send you the address.

Thanks!

Update: u/consistent_Shallot25 swung by and took a picture of the house in question. The front yard trees are gone, but looks like that happened a while ago. Otherwise the house looks intact.

Thank you all very much!

Postivity

 As much as I’ve got my comments to make about all the bad I see in valdosta; I wanted to take a second and acknowledge the good. 

  Thank you to everyone, getting up and preforming their jobs. 
 You are important no mater the role. Anyone able to get close enough and say otherwise probably needs you. 

  You being able to go out and be strong enough to perform your job in the face of adversity is a community asset not replaceable by hatred. 

  All of you that go out with a good attitude and spread joy. You help others in dark places find hope. Your ability to exist in happiness is imperative to good community sustainability.

Lastly to everyone struggling to make it by. Give yourself some grace, you’ve been doing your very best as a person. “Simply existing is enough.”

 Quoted from a random spot on the inter webs probably from a song or movie 😅. Though, the statement holds true.

 You are enough you don’t have to become enough. I sincerely hope and believe you’ll be able to obtain joy. You’ve already overcome so much to be here and reading this message. 

 Don’t let anyone deny you the reality that you’re deserving no matter how the cards have fallen in your life, all born are initially worthy of respect and dignity.

  And as you’ve not gone out of your way to rob any one of those key rights, they are owed to you as well.

 To anyone feeling maybe they’ve  contributed to the negativity harming this community. 

I hope that you will reflect and become a person able to change and grow beyond the view that restrict you in such a way.
 It is my sincere wish that you grow beyond views of judgment and spite. 

 Go find the comfort, warmth, and un-adulterated joy that is acting with positive intentions.

OH HAPPY DAY

Decided to call Clearwave today, although their website showed service was unavailable in my neighborhood.

I will have internet by 1pm Friday & my plan is gonna save me close to $40 per month. They're giving me the first month free as well!!!

I can also report that I spoke with someone in NW Valdosta this morning who said their mediacom was up yesterday afternoon. So, progress is being made on the mediacom network.

It’s gotta be the cultural climate yeah?

   A quick question? Does anybody else use this reddit as a source of entertainment. Not entirely. 
 I mean coming on here sometimes and seeing the sheer amount of unfathomable idiotic occurrences local to this area. 
  Then just having to laugh at the hypocritical nature of how certain backwards actions not only harm the offender, but those around them. It’s like damn what was achieved here!?☠️

Which one of ya'll did this 😒

AlertLowndes URGENT!: This is an Alert Lowndes update from Lowndes County Emergency Management.  Now that power restoration has been completed for all customers who can safely accept power, the next phase of the utility recovery process is getting telephone and internet service restored.  While local crews and outside contractors continue to work feverishly to repair the massive amount of damage done the infrastructure, they are also encountering an additional issue.  Some residents who are understandably frustrated by the lines left laying across their driveway and yards by Hurricane Helene have begun cutting the fiber optic and cable lines.  In addition to slowing down the restoration to internet, cable and phone service, many of these lines also feed cell phone towers so if you notice frequent disruptions and lower call quality, the number of cut fiber optic lines plays a part.  More critically, these lines also supply service to the Public Safety Radio System, so by cutting a line in your yard, you may inadvertently knock out the radio communications that first responders and 911 rely on to communicate during emergencies.  The bottom line is we would ask everyone to please refrain from cutting any lines that may be down in your yard.  Fiber optic and cable lines pose no danger and you can continue to drive over them until they are picked up.  In many cases the utility crews repair the lines on the ground to get service back quicker and then come back and rehang them.  So, a majority of the lines being cut were actually in service until they were damaged.  We ask for you to continue to extend patience as we work to recover from the worst disaster we have ever seen in this part of Georgia. Your actions can have an effect on many others so let’s operate by the golden rule and keep showing the rest of the nation why Lowndes County is the best place to live and work.

AT&T Fiber Outage Info

So after dozens of support chats and calls where agents refuse to give updates or estimates I went directly to our local AT&T store. This outage is due to power substations still being repaired, so AT&T is waiting on Georgia power and Colquitt EMC. I don’t know why this information is not being distributed to customers, it seems like a simple thing to add to the script. So at this point it could be days or weeks. Unless anyone else has more accurate information, this is where we’re at for now.

Looking to sublease?

I’m making a post probably once every three weeks looking to sublease two apartment units. It’s two rooms within a four bedroom space. (The other two rooms being occupied.) Both offered rooms are directly across from each other, located in the same hallway. The apartment is located at the gates Valdosta Georgia. It’s the set of apartments directly next to VSU. The base monthly price is $549 per room. (Price fluctuates because of utilities, only if you go over your monthly limit) If you’re only looking to sublease one of the rooms unfortunately I cannot assist with that. If there is any person or individuals looking to find residency please message me directly. There is no set move in or move out date, all of that would be discussed after contact. Feel free to send me a direct message after we talk and hash out all the details. If you decide to sublease, I’ll at that point send you the contact info for my leasing office as well as mine.

Recommended car dealerships?

Just started working on my credit 4 months ago. I've grown from a 499 to a 726. The recent natural disaster just bumped my credit up 81 more points and I want to take advantage of the increase and get myself in a car (haven't had my own in over 2 years).

Who do you guys recommend for your (used) car buying needs?

I've been really peeping Valdosta Toyota lately since they have a few vehicles I've had my eye on, would love to hear your personal opinion if you've shopped with them before.
