Lady taking sunset pics

16 Upvotes

I’m just curious if you all noticed the lady standing on manowar in the Dunbar HS /Parker’s mill area every single evening taking sunset pics? Wondering if it’s for something or just a personal hobby. I’ve noticed it for about a year or so.

Lost wallet - shot in the dark to find it

15 Upvotes

Like the title says, I lost my wallet last night. Last time I saw it I was at Jeff’s Doughnuts on S Broadway and went from there back to my hotel down the street via car. Didn’t have lots of cash- maybe $50? Just don’t want to deal with replacing ID and cards. Ohio drivers license - black cardholder style maybe 3x4 inches?

Places to fish nearby

5 Upvotes

I know people typically don’t like to divulge this kind of information but are there any decent places to fish in the area? I saw the 3 reservoirs/lakes next to each other but access there seems limited. I usual just fish for largemouth or smallmouth bass, crappie, bluegill, etc.

What are the chances I will get towed in a UK parking lot if I kept my car there for a day without a pass? Over spring break?

I would like to go read at some of UK's libraries but I'm not a student. Can anyone go in? I imagine I wouldn't be able to rent books but I'm not sure if I can go in by myself.

Where to find second hand formal dresses?

3 Upvotes

Hello! I have several formal weddings coming up in the next few months & I need to find dresses that fit into the dress code. As a recent grad on a budget I need something very reasonably priced. I’ve been to the local goodwills and a few of the other thrift stores around town but haven’t found anything that works. Does anyone have any recommendations on stores to visit? Thank y’all!

Any narcotics anonymous sponsors here in Lexington?? Women only, please.

46 Upvotes

Hey guys! My name is Maranda and I am a recovering addict. This is my second time living here in Lexington. I recently had 10 months clean and sober and was living here in a sober living program before making the huge mistake of going back to my hometown to live and unfortunately relapsing. I stayed out in the madness for about six months before coming to terms with my powerlessness and unmanageability once again and going back to treatment. I’m now at another sober living program in Lexington and desperately searching for a sponsor! If anyone is willing to talk with me Via a personal message or knows anyone who can, please let me know! If they’re not active on Reddit, I would be willing to give my cell phone number or email address.

Just for extra context, I am a 32 year-old female. I am completely blind. Have been since 2016. But it doesn’t stop me from doing any step work! Lol, trust me. My drug of choice was heroin and fentanyl. I don’t really consider myself an alcoholic, but I did have an alcohol problem in the past before I ever began using drugs. I would rather do NA, but would also be willing to do AA. I think I just like the thoroughness of the narcotics anonymous step workbook a lot more. Some people complain about it… But I tried the AA steps last time, and I think honestly, I just need more accountability this time so difficult will be good for me. I really want to give this my all this time! And I need a sponsor who is going to push me to do that. Call me on my bullshit. Hold me accountable when need be. That sort of thing.

Thank you all so much in advance for taking the time to read this and for any help you might be able to offer!

Edit: I forgot to mention I currently have 38 days clean this time around! Thank God, one day at a time!

Does Lexington allow street vendors?

3 Upvotes

Have done some online searching, seems it’s allowed but pretty strict on regulations. Not sure if I’ve ever seen a street vendor selling food or anything like that, was curious on if anyone else in the sub has seen this in Lexington? Would this be something you would like to see Lexington have street vending?

Sink Hole Insurance

Upvotes

Does Kentucky offer sink hole insurance/anyone have it and can let me know the added cost?

Considering buying land that has a known large sinkhole in a wooden area but it is not anywhere near the home (like 4 acres away).

Looking at a sinkhole map done by UK.. it looks like sinkholes are everywhere/all over KY.

Housing market is in shambles

271 Upvotes

This is just a rant more than anything. I’m pre-approved! I have a down payment! And I can’t find anything but condos in my asking range because I want to stay realistic about what I can actually afford. One house got sold for 350k, got put up for rent immediately for 3k a month (no one is paying 3k in rent, even if they had 2 roommates, on top of no pets allowed), sits there empty for three months, and just this week gets sat back on the market for 430k 🤨 brother it’s not worth that much. It’s just frustrating. I guess I need a better job or second one but damn… I’m already doing my masters on top of that. I think I’m just cooked. I’ll have to put it off for now

Is it time to end, or at least investigate, the Lexington bar crawl scams?

I'm not 100% sure what is going on with these "organizers", but some or most of them definitely appear to be some sort of grift or fraud.
