It seems like this would be a red flag to chickfilas standards

Hello, everyone!

I am currently living in North East, Texas (near Dallas). I had a terrible, awful last couple of years resulting in a less than ideal living situation that I am desperate to get out of. I want to buy a house, as I have a large, not very friendly dog that I want to have a decent yard.

I’d like to get out of Texas but can’t afford the places I’d like to live, so I’m trying to find a happy medium. I want better weather (even just slightly better, I’ll take anything); hikes nearby; decent amount of things to do & places to go; decent selection of cafes & restaurants.

I am leftist & atheist, so I know that state politics are bad. However, I live in Texas under Abbott, so wouldn’t really be any different, lol. I’d also really like to establish myself & participate in the community. I’m also not looking to be extremely far from TX (I’d like to be able to visit my best friends occasionally), which will be factored into my decision.

Would y’all say Springfield is a good choice? Especially interested in opinions from any Texas transplants. Is there enough of a left leaning population that I could realistically expect to meet people? I wouldn’t jump immediately into the dating pool, but I would like for that to be an option in the future. Housing prices look decent online (WAY better than my area)—my goal is to have 35k saved before next summer. I’d like to move before June 2027.

I work from home & will move with my job. I’m turning 30 next month, if that makes any difference with the demographic.

I have some time before I need to officially decide, but I’d like to start the process 3/4 months before I move next year & I have OCD & a am strict planner, lol.

Thank you!

is it safe to walk alone in broad daylight? I share a car and to save money I want to try. is it bad? (especially for a 30 minute walk)

also how do I make sure I’m not an easy target? Is it better if I leave all my stuff at my work then come back and get it later?

Yo. I need to sell my tickets to the Archers concert on October 7th in Springfield, MO. It's at the Venue on Sunset; the show starts at 7 p.m.

I'm unable to sell them through the ticket issuer. So we would have to work something out through Venmo, Zelle, or Cash App.

Today is the day when we celebrate and lampoon Brad Bradshaw with memes. Happy Day Dayshaw everyone!

Alright, so I have my Class-A CDL and I’m currently using it. However, I’m expecting a baby soon and I’m trying to find a new job that offers flexible hours. The problem is that whenever I search for jobs online, I only see driving jobs. Now, the issue with that is I have a lot of speeding tickets that I don’t even know why my current employer hired me. Haha. Anyway, I’m struggling to find jobs outside of trucking companies because that’s the only type of job that shows up for me. Does anyone have suggestions?

To clarify, I am not seeking employment as a driver due to multiple traffic violations. Consequently, I am unlikely to be hired.

Looking for a nighttime cook at the big easy grill. It’s a good place to work. 4-9 Tuesday thru Saturday. More hours available if looking.

They announced they were closing the dining room to focus on take out and delivery. The owner said dine in wasn't up to his standards.

Does anyone know the true story. I heard a rumor that the owner was banging waitresses. Although that was something I overheard at the Casey's near Picallos.

Any tea would be welcome, I am thirsty.

Does anyone have tips on where to apply that is hiring for account management, sales support or customer service positions that are remote or hybrid in the area?

I have 11 years of experience within account management and with a recent move my commute is one hour one way so I'm looking but indeed is kind of a bust!

Any help would be great!

Looking for things to do outside that are pet friendly. Trails or parks, scenic things, shopping areas, etc. Passing through for the night and will have some time to burn.

OnThisDay in 1865, a legendary shootout between Wild Bill Hickok and Davis Tutt took place in Springfield, Missouri.

Born in 1837, James B. Hickok earned a reputation as a dangerous gunslinger, resulting in the nickname “Wild Bill.” During the Civil War, he served as a scout for the Union.

Wild Bill Hickok was staying in Springfield in the months following the Civil War, and his frequent gambling led to the famed shootout. Davis Tutt, a former Confederate soldier from Arkansas, was a gambler who also resided in Springfield at the war’s end. Tensions between the two boiled over regarding a debt. Tutt claimed that Hickok owed him $35. Hickok claimed it was $25. To cover the difference, Tutt took Hickok’s watch as collateral, an insult that Wild Bill would not let go unanswered. He threatened violence if Tutt continued wearing the stolen watch. Tutt refused to return the watch, leading to the dramatic public showdown.

The shootout itself became the template for the classic Wild West quick-draw duel. Hickok and Tutt stood in the town square, and both men drew and fired their revolvers nearly at once. Tutt’s shot missed. Wild Bill’s did not. He struck Tutt in the chest, and the gambler died at the scene.

Hickok was arrested days after the shootout and stood trial for manslaughter on August 3rd. There was no question as to how Davis Tutt died. The question was whether the shooting was premeditated or if Hickok was reasonably defending himself. After quick deliberations, the jury ruled that Wild Bill was not guilty. The idea that a stolen watch could serve as a justification for homicide fit well in the growing legend of the Wild West.

The story of the shootout spread across the country in an 1867 edition of Harper’s New Monthly Magazine, which turned the gunslinger into a celebrity. In the years following the shootout, Wild Bill served as a marshal in Kansas, got into more shootouts, and, of course, continued to gamble.

In 1876, the Wild West legend met his end at a poker table in the Dakota Territory when another disgruntled gambler, Jack McCall, shot him in the head. The hand Hickok was said to be holding at the time, black aces and eights with a mystery fifth card, is now known as the dead man’s hand.
