hi im wanting to get my windows untinted and retinted lol where is the best place? pervious owner tinted the windows and i want a bkue tint every where its just odd that its not everywhere thanks!

 If your job made you go out today and your car wasn’t built for it. Consider they probably don’t care about you. If that’s your only source of transportation, they don’t care if you can make it back there or not. 

 They just need you there till they can replace you. I heard a few cars start up super rough this morning and a few sound like. Be safe and careful on the roads

update: thanks for the recommendations, everyone. I think I'm going to go with https://treeservicesvaldostaga.com/ thanks guys

The Green Bean on Bemiss is hosting a game night this Saturday from 6-9. Anyone interested in joining a table to play settlers of catan?

Any females here?

I have an older pc I’m trying to rebuild , or swap in either cash on top for better one.

Don’t know much of the specs it was gifted to me from my brother. I believe it’s a i7 with 16gb ram or 32, not sure.

Z690-A is the mother board model. I think it’s msi? With a Corsair shell.

PROBLEM

currently it turns on and turns off, it flickers in between and does not stay on. From a 750W power supply I swapped it out with a new 750W to have it run for about 5-10 min to flickering again. Could it be a mother board shortage?

I exchanged the 750W for a 850W and now, I see the mother board power button turn on but the actual tower itself won’t. Not sure what happened. So I swapped back to the original power supply and it turned it on like before to the flickering stage.

Could anyone shed some light. I know it’s pretty old and I don’t mind trading it all in with cash on top for something a bit more modern. Any tips or advice is appreciated.

Wife and i are looking for beginners to play pickleball against. Any beginners here?

Recently posted on here (see post a few days ago) mentioning that there was a book club for romance/fantasy readers here locally.

Anyone interested in being in a book club that reads other genres? I like books that are less romance, more story, like:

-The Midnight Library -Remarkably Bright Creatures -Project Hail Mary

And non-fiction, autobiographies:

-Becoming by Michelle Obama -I’m Glad my Mom Died by Jennette McCurdy

If anyone is interested please let me know!

Are these apartments as bad as the google reviews claim?

1.Pest/ German Roach Problem

2.Terrible Management

3.Not a clean building

4.Drug Infested

I'm relocating from Iowa To Valdosta! Wanting to be close to the boarder as I plan to spend a lot of my summer days in Florida near the beaches and palm trees!

But one thing I can't do is roaches 🪳 that's a deal breaker for me!!

A little info: my bf is from New York City and loves the southern aesthetic, foods, and whatnot. He'll be down here for Valentine's day and I'm wondering what would be a good restaurant to take him too?

Also what are the best BBQ places around town he LOOOOVES bbq and all the fixins

I use to thrift a lot when I lived in Japan, and I’m trying to start thrifting again!

Looking to possibly moving to this area in the near future. I'm not worried about a job, because I will be transferring. But how is it living here? Is it pretty safe? How is the high school and middle school? Etc etc

Relatively new to the area but my general impression is that there isn’t much going on outside of people doing things with their families/kids/church groups.

A couple of things I’ve learned about recently:

1. Green Bean Roastery on Bemiss offering occasional trivia nights/game nights/other events
2. The Slice in Hahira also offering trivia nights
3. The Buzz in Hahira sometimes offering trivia or karaoke
4. Fairy Godreaders book club (primarily romance/fantasy) at the Green Bean

Does anyone know of any other activities here locally? I’m married with no kids and my husband and I are looking to connect with other folks in their late 20s/early 30s. We enjoy being outdoors, grilling, board games, and are down to explore anything that gets us out of the house more.

I need some volunteers from Valdosta to answer some questions about local traditions, food, festivals etc.

It'd be ideal to talk in private chat, so feel free to hit my DMs

anyone wanna go see that bob dylan movie or homestead?? i can cover the tickets

I live in the Naylor area, but we don’t have any forum on here. I was in my house, when my outdoor camera picked up a huge flash of light, causing a shadow at like 10:30, like ten minutes ago now. Did anyone else see it or know what it was?

I will be in Valdosta for a few months for my job during summer '25. I need to find a place to live, but want to avoid bad parts of town, which I have no idea and haven't been able to find great information online. If anyone can give details on good, safe places to look for housing (ideally already furnished), places to potentially find subleases, or just areas to avoid that would be great. Thank you!

I am just trying to get a consensus of who is aware of this being taught in schools as well as more information on the program’s Mormon/LDS roots. I feel that this program is edging into psychological brainwashing through corporate feel good speak. Not to mention the indoctrination of children at the school. It makes me nervous to see where this will head. Also it seems the program could be affiliated with churches around here. Any information on the 7 habits/ The Leader in Me program would be greatly appreciated.

Greetings Blazers,

Tonight’s network outage update is another important one, so please read carefully below.

Progress continues to be made on restoring the network, internet, Wi-Fi, and all University systems, but more time is needed. As a result, VSU will remain closed on Monday, January 6, and Tuesday, January 7, 2025.

Faculty and Staff:

Once again, employees instructed by their supervisor to return to campus for work on these days will need to do so. Employees asked to work by their supervisor but are unable to should record the appropriate leave in the system once the outage is resolved.

Please remember that many employees do not have email access during this outage, so supervisors should contact their team members to confirm work arrangements for Monday and Tuesday.

Housing:

RA’s will still return this Sunday, January 5, and campus residence halls are still set to reopen on Friday, January 10. Please continue to monitor your email or VSU’s main social media platforms for updates.

Reaching University Police:

Due to the network outage, VSU Police phone lines are currently down. In the event of an emergency, please call 229-561-0213 or Lowndes 911.

Hello,

So I'm 30, married with 2 kids - the wife ( 27) and I haven't had much luck in finding new friends (couples specifically, kids around same ages 3 and 7 is a plus). We have several friends but they don't have kids. Our kids don't really have many friends, not for a lack of trying unfortunately.

We have explored options like Georgia Beer Company, it doesn't seem like many people there want to socialize outside of the people they came with, which is completely understandable and we don't want to feel like we are intruding on people just enjoying their time.

We've both lived in Valdosta for awhile, we own our home, have grown up jobs and aspirations. I guess my question is, is what are some options to going out and meeting similar people to us, who like to travel, let the kids hang out, go on small, fun trips like Disney or Universal with, or without the kids?

Any naked barbers in Valdosta ?
