    Any African American Hairstylist?

    Hi I recently moved from Florida and I need my hair done. I would prefer someone that is pretty skilled in 4c hair. I am a male and I know some women don't like that so, I am here just to get my hair done and look good for work. Thank You

    Lost Pupper (White Poodle?)

    Hi!

    I have never posted here so I hope this is okay. Just wanted to say there is a white poodle mix dog (large/medium) near 18th and Porter Ave. They have been hanging around here a couple days and won’t come to anyone. I didn’t see a collar but I have never seen this dog around the area before.

    I couldn’t get a photo

    Hope they get to go home soon ❤️. They seem pretty well taken care of.

    DCF help

    This is beyond embarrassing to ask but does anyone have an “inside” connection to the Wichita DCF office? I’ve burned all my PTO for my son’s FMLA weekly appointments- so I’m unable to take off work for at least 2 weeks to go sit at the office all day. I turned in my 6 month review paperwork on time back on October 3rd and I have yet to hear from them. Only benefit we receive is daycare. I called today and it just said “we take calls from 8-5 but we are unable to take your call” there’s no option to leave a voicemail. All I need is my review approved. I recieve no other help and while I have one decent paying job and one part time- I cannot afford daycare fully out of pocket. Nor can we afford to be a one parent household.

    Please do not kick me while I’m down. We were thriving less than three years ago making less than what we do now and this daycare assistance is the only way we’re able to stay above water now.

    Where is ATT Fiber available?

    Basically what the title says, in my current apartment I'm not able to get it but when I do move I'd like to be able to get it as I'm really tired of dealing with Cox. I've used the availability map but it only does single addresses and was wondering if some people could just give me their experiences with them?

    Edit - Just to add I live in the south east right now

    TRUCK DRIVERS ON KELLOGG: SECURE YOUR TOWAGE.

    Holy fuck! This mind-forsaken semitruck driver just merged onto Kellogg (eastbound) without tying down the PROPANE TANK hanging out in his bed. WTF DUDE!!

    It barely missed me, and thankfully didn't explode or anything. All I could do was brake & swerve around, while laying on the horn for the next mile as the truck driver seemed unwilling to accept responsibility for reality.

    And before I get some dungeon-trolls yapping at me about /r/thathappened, fuck off. I just survived Final Destination on Kellogg.

    Strange letter from Jerry.

    I got a letter today that concerns me. It was from some guy named Jerry. The envelope was hand written and the return address was a PO box. I couldn't read the last name. The letter was typed and I still couldn't read the last name. But he has my full name and address. It was about reading the Bible. Hopefully I am just over thinking this but still.

    Has anyone else received this too.

    Things to do with a toddler?

    I am temporarily taking care of a 4 year old, and I want to take them out and do things that are appropriate and make sense for a pre-k age child without having to keep them cooped up in the house all day long. I’ve taken off work to give them my full attention, but I have no kids of my own and actually have no idea what kids like to do. Please help lol

    ETA: Thank you all so much!!! I will be taking the little to just about all of these places now, I appreciate the ideas and help!!

    Spirit Tunnels

    Some of the local Facebook pages (Memes of Wichita and I think some others) have been making jokes alluding to "interesting" stuff that occurs in the old tunnels under the Spirit campus. Lots of innuendo but I can't find any actual stories of what has been seen... Anyone care to share on Reddit?

    Interview Needed

    Hey y’all,

    I need a recorded interview with someone tonight (12/2) or tomorrow (12/3). I was fortunate to have completed the previous interview with another person from this subreddit last month at the Wichita Public Library and it went wonderfully. I plan to schedule this interview at the Advanced Learning Library in a collaboration room as well.

    The interview will utilize cognitive-behavioral therapy (REBT specifically) and is intended to address a concern with a behavior and/or thinking. This could be something like procrastination, addiction, compulsive shopping, or any behavior that one would like to address.

    This interview is for a master’s program and a release of information will be needed. Rest assured, the recording will only be used for the course and deleted at the end of the semester.

    Thank you in advance!

    Best Place to Board Dogs?

    Hi y'all, I'm searching for a place to board our two dogs (one small, one medium) for two days. I'd prefer a place that keeps them together since the small one is really anxious. Thanks!

    apartment laundromat

    TL;DR: clothes got lost, apartment complex refuses to help. what can we do?

    my gf and i live in an apartment out east (i wont name as of yet) but we were using the laundromat within the complex. we have to use three washers every time due to the amount of clothes we go through plus the small size of the washers. about 3 or 4 weeks ago now we lost all of our clothes in one of those washers. that next monday we went to the leasing office to tell them whats going on and see if we could get their help. they said they would take a look at the footage and see if they saw anything. 2 weeks later and we didn’t hear anything so we went back in and they said “we weren’t able to make it through all of the footage”. complete bs. so they didn’t even look through the footage at all. i’m going to go back in monday and see if they will let us watch the footage (which i doubt). but if they keep refusing to help us, is there some sort of action we can take against them? the leasing agreement says that they aren’t responsible for lost/stolen items, but they’re refusing the help out case. we pay them over $1100/mo and this is the treatment we get from them.
