I am genuinely scared about lay offs since Erlanger announced a 'partnership' with Prisma Health. I looked into them and found 2 mergers they did in the past 5 years. One hospital laid off 700 employees and the most recent laid off 70. I have several family members in various roles at Erlanger and it makes me nervous for them.

If you work there or are in management have you heard anything?

I was looking at the Lake Winnie wikipedia page today while bored at work and discovered that in 2003 there was reportedly a riot there of 500-700 local kids. Was anyone on here around for that and got any stories from it?

Remote Area Medical (RAM) will be setting up a FREE telehealth clinic at the Chattanooga Food Bank on August 3 where you can visit with a nurse in person and a doctor virtually, absolutely FREE if you are a Tennessee resident.

I got a job offer! Now I just have to pass the drug test. I keep reading that BCBST tests for Cotinine during the drug panel. Is this true?

Also, I’m confused because my recruiter mentioned something about “if you don’t smoke nicotine then you get benefits on insurance” when I asked about employee health benefits. So do they or do they not?

I’m on a diuretic and flushing out my system as we speak. I just stopped cold turkey yesterday.

UPDATE:

I just emailed my recruiter and she said they DO NOT test for nicotine anymore.

I’ve been working with one of the guys that was on the sopranos and designed a few shirts for him, been learning all kinds of new tricks. I’m doing some Rick Davis shirts in the Miami Vice trope as well as similar ones for the Sopranos guy.

I heard there’s a stripper pole in there!

Ya’ll better prepare for tomorrow.

Just wanted to post this again on here since it’s in a few days. All are welcome!

Now that QuickSurg is closed, is there a similar dermatologist business around where you can just make an appointment, show what you want removed, pay a ballparked fee, and leave?

Edley's BBQ is really good BBQ.

For context, I know about BBQ. All parts. I was on a whole hog professional BBQ team in Memphis for over 15 years. We smoked a lot of pork. We competed in all categories. I have cooked and consumed enough BBQ for a couple of lifetimes. So much so that I RARELY eat BBQ anymore. I moved to Chattanooga eight months ago and have had Edley's several times now. Always consistent and always good. Great service. It's brought me back to loving BBQ again.

Thank you Edley's

Hey everyone,

Were on a family roadtrip and since you have one of the best Imaxs at your aquarium, we thought we'd give it a try. I havent done unassigned seating in a long time so I wanted to know, is it orderly for showings (Oddessy) or is it like a free for all with people trying to get good seats? Sounds like you line up and then they just kind of let the line in?

Thanks in advance

is anyone missing a black dog off of McCallie? I saw it running around in the rain no collar this morning

Found this little guy running down East Brainerd Road headed away from Morris Hill road, headed towards Westview Elementary. He is black and white, very sweet, and seems to be well taken care of. He came right to me when I stopped my car and sat in my lap on the way home. He was in danger if being hit, so I have him with me. He didn’t seem too thirsty, and he is safe and being well taken care of! Please let me know of this is your little guy! He has very cute and crooked bottom teeth!

Scene: Great Clips’ Northshore (next to Publix) waiting area packed nuts to butts
You: eyes of brown like limpid pools
Me: eyes of red like didn’t sleep last night

Situation: You’re watching video without headphones and making everyone else hear something you think is interesting. I’m sitting right next to you, left eyelid twitching violently as I am forced to listen to some content creator’s attempt at a hype train.

Interaction: I asked politely if you had headphones, and you realized you were being a total ass and muted your audio.

Fallout: Faith in humanity restored, mostly.

Result: I didn’t murder you and leave your corpse for rodents to eat.

Takeaway: If you take speakerphone calls or watch video in public without headphones, you deserve to be fed alive to organisms with dull teeth

What’s the vibes at bad apple and what’s up with the themed nights? Should I dress in theme?

News Channel 5’s Phil Williams has more info on Blackburn’s alleged ethics violations.

“Gone are the days when you can vote Democrat”

As a former attendee of Calvary (through 2019), who watched them platform K1rk (apparently you can’t mention his name here?) during Covid, this is just crazy. Not even giving a chance to people without an R next to their name on the ballot. Wild. Take a look. Link is around 25 minutes.

Hi! Does anyone know how to apply for a job at Amazon. I check the website every once in a while but there are never any openings. Does anyone know if there is another way or if you go in person, sorry if this is a bad question. Thanks

I'm not as up-to-date with local politics as I should be, but I've noticed this subreddit seems to really dislike Weston Wamp. It's harder to find a lot of information about exactly why he might be a poor candidate online, simply because this is a local election. If any of you who are passionate and knowledgeable about this election and these candidates has a list of (verifiable) reasons why they prefer Mark Herndon to Wamp, I'd definitely be willing to spread the word and encourage my friends to vote. I'm not trying to offload my civic duty of staying informed to y'all; I just assume some of you have reasons that might be harder for me to find on my own.

And of course, if there are those of you who think Wamp is a better candidate than Herndon, I'd be interested in those reasons as well!

Looking to do some thrifting for funky/whimsical clothes and decor, but i'm a broke college kid and even goodwill prices are getting steep. any thrift store recommendations in the area?

Doesn't feel like the Republican's even want Wamp voted in.

Looks like middle of next month they’re gone. Sounds like landlord dispute as the cause.
