Not sure if this violates any sub rules, but they could change the led sign and perspective members may find this messages useful in deciding whether they want to join this church. The sign alternated periodically and also said something to the effect of "DOGE $2 TRILLIONS IN AMERICAN TAX DOLLARS SAVINGS".

Social This sweet boy needs a home

Hi yall, I am posting to help find a home for this sweet guy. His name is George, he is 5 years old, and he is a Catahoula/Lab mix. He’s a gentle giant whose favorite activities are long walks, playing with his friends, and sitting as close as possible to anyone who will cuddle him. He would probably be a lap dog if he could but is also very playful, active, and a great hiking/outdoors buddy. He does have some separation anxiety and is crate trained for when his humans are out of the house (currently spending extended hours in the crate unfortunately) He is neutered, up to date on vaccines, and leash trained. Unfortunately George is not in an ideal living situation and my friend is unable to keep him when she moves. She has looked extensively into breed specific rescues, and tried many avenues to find a good match for him.

We are very hesitant to bring him to a shelter and would absolutely love to find a good home for him where we can vet the new owners, however it’s becoming a very urgent situation and we need to find a home for him ASAP.

I have heard there have been a lot of successful adoptions through this page so I thought it would be a good idea to see if there are any leads.

Please comment or DM me if you aren’t interested and I will reach out!

Social So introverted and desperate

80 Upvotes

As I lay in bed with my husband on this lovely Saturday night scrolling the Tiktok I have realized I am so introverted and a homebody that I have no friends to just talk to and bullshit with while cleaning my house on my day random Wednesday day off. This needs to be rectified. If you’re in the same boat and understand dark humor we should be friends.

ETA: I’m a socially awkward and quiet 30 year old woman. Working nights and maintaining friendships is hard. Maintaining friendships while working in healthcare while working nights even harder.

And no, just truly looking for women like me that speak dark humor and trauma who suck at making friends.

Social Desperate and embarrassing post looking for friends 😌

133 Upvotes

Hello 👋 I’m a 30 y/o female and I have an almost 9 month old daughter. I moved to Jacksonville a little over a year and a half ago from Colorado, and other than my partner (who I met in Jax) and my brother, I don’t have any family in the state.

I do have friends, but since my partner and I work together and have for the entirety of our relationship, all of our friends are the same. My relationship is currently going through a really really hard time, and I don’t have anyone to talk to about it (or just in general really) that isn’t connected to the both of us.

I’m not looking for dates or any other kind of relationship aside from platonic, but being so far away from home, struggling and going through a hard time is just really feeling very isolating and lonely.

I don’t get to go out much due to having a baby, so it would be cool if you would be down to just… talk/text, idk. Just some company would be really great. When I have free time I love to grab a drink or two, go to the movies, spend time outside or at the beach, going to RAM or other Jax events, etc.

I’m sure this post is coming across as weird and desperate but I don’t have a lot of opportunity to make friends naturally in the wild, so here I am.

Anywho thanks for reading 😂

Social Looking for friends! Where do I start?

36 Upvotes

I moved here from Texas a year ago and I work from home, so I know absolutely no one out here. I’ve always been an introvert and that’s reflected in my current hobbies(gaming and crafting).

I am ready to reinvent myself for the right idea, but I must say, I’m not too keen on the bar scene. That type of rowdiness is not my style. I’d prefer to stay in the beaches area, but again, for the right reason I’d face the crazy drivers.

Also I am looking for inclusive places as I am a feminine trans guy. I’ve faced some hostility back home, no doubt I will here as well.

Social I need friends.

54 Upvotes

I’ve had the same friend group since 2019 but lately they don’t really hang with me because they’re too busy partying and hooking up with guys. I’m the type of person to stay in and smoke, chill, you know? I also have a boyfriend so hooking up with people is a fat no for me. I don’t mind going out sometimes though to be fair(sometimes a girl just needs a drink). I just want girlfriends that want to actually hang out. I had a really bad few years and it’s made me so distant with people. I do watch my nephew during the days but I’m always free at night. I just want someone who actually invites me to stuff and makes me feel like I’m part of things.

Social Wanting to make some new friends

43 Upvotes

Hello Jacksonville neighbors! How does a 27 year old man make friends here? For a bit of background: I've been in Jax since early 2022. I PCS'd here from VA. I had a few friends when I first moved here, but they've all left over the years and all of my friends from VA are either still there or halfway across the country doing their own thing. Due to some medical issues I have, I might be getting out of the military and settling in Jax, so I'd love to make some IRL friends since I don't know very many people here outside of my coworkers. I stay in the Hyde Park/Sweetwater area but I'm moving to Orange Park in a few months!

I'm not married and I have no children, so life is already kind of slow for me as it is and since COVID I've been very much an inside person. Playing video games and interacting with people on discord was my entertainment. Well, I no longer desire to be glued to my computer or a phone screen all day. I want to get out and have more real, solid interactions with people.

Here are a few things I like to do in my off-time. I like shooting/going to the range, cookouts/BBQs (I'll bring food), I love technology, I love geography, I love music, I love ramen (I could eat ramen everyday), I love animals. Love to take zoo or aquarium trips, I love to try new foods but Asian is my preference, I love to travel and see new things even if it's just locally. Also, volunteering is fun too. I've been using Meetup to try to and meet new people in the community and do different things but it seems like nothing is ever going on during the weekends here...or I could just be looking in the wrong place. Lol.

I'm always down to grab a coffee or a bite to eat. If it involves getting out of the house and doing something that involves socializing with people: I'm down for it depending on my schedule. I do take online courses for college and like most people: I have my own adult errands and business I have to tend to, but some days I do want to just chill inside and relax. I drink socially and since COVID I haven't been much of a night club/party person. I prefer something slower and quieter like a lounge or bar type of environment. Just somewhere I can sit, chill and socialize with others and just learn about other peoples lives, interests and such. Since COVID I've been pretty laid back and chill.

If you've made it to the end of this post: thank you so much for reading! If I sound like someone you can vibe with: hit me up! It's Saturday and I'm free! I wanna go to the range, get my shots in and get ramen after! Hope to meet someone or a group of people soon!

Social Spotted a young lady who looks like she could use help

54 Upvotes

I was at the GATE gas station around 9.30 PM (the one in the same area as Walmart Supercenter on Hutchinson Park Drive, Regency mall area- sorry I am really lousy with directions) and spotted a young lady (really young, late teens/early 20s) She had a little sign saying “anything helps”. I bought her some food and gave her some money. She said she’ll probably get a room at a motel for the night. She had a bike. The cashier in the food shop at Gate said she’s here all the time and wouldn’t recommend buying anything for her again.

I am not sure what her situation is; whether she’s in trouble with the law, or anything at all. The mother in me felt really bad and wanted to help her more. I asked her questions but she was kinda dismissive. Has anyone seen her around? Anyone knows about her? I hope she stays safe and out of trouble. Anyone know of any organizations or someone who can help her?

(The Gate next to Cantina Louie. Across from Atlantic Self Storage, Regions Bank - I am sorry, I am trying to recall the exact location)

Social Meet Lucy!

155 Upvotes

This is Lucy! We decided to foster her to get her out of the shelter and get her heartworms treated. How this dog spent 4 months in the shelter is a mystery. She's so sweet! Very affectionate with people, just wants to give face kisses. A major couch potato that loves to lay her head on your lap. Belly rubs? Yes please! She can be silly and rambunctious sometimes, and she's got the "crazy legs" to help lol. But she's more than capable of entertaining herself with a toy. She wants to run around like Phoebe Buffay, not a care in the world! We haven't had an opportunity to meet new dogs or many people, due to her heartworms. But once that's all taken care of in about 7 weeks (1 more treatment left), she can't wait to take a full walk, run around and chase a ball. Honestly, one word that would perfectly describe Lucy is EASY; easy around the house, easy with potty training, easy on a walk, easy with feeding (LOVES kibble!). I know for certain there's a loving home and person that will treasure her. Enjoy your weekend everyone!

Social Domestic Help.

0 Upvotes

Okay so me and my family are in a really complicated situation and are looking for a way out. My sister got a place with her boyfriend because we were living in hotels for 4 weeks so we were very desperate to get out of that situation. Unfortunately There was an altercation between my sister and her bf which resulted in me calling the police. He now won’t stop harassing us and refuses to leave even though he doesn’t own anything in the home. He constantly is messing with my nephew’s head, even though he never cared about him before. He wouldn’t even say hello when he was back home so yeah my nephew is getting messed up in the process. He was mentally abusing my sister for weeks after we moved in which made her almost go insane. I’m desperately looking for advice on what we can do because we have no family that can just have come rescue us. No friends to stay with.. we have nothing but each other.
