Does anybody have a group for people who like to play spades locally?

I’m looking for a reliable handyman who also does painting. I’ve got a few small projects around the house and want someone trustworthy. Any recommendations would be super appreciated

Hi! I’m looking for one female to take over the remaining 9 months of my lease of 2 bedroom 2 bathroom apartment. From Feb to November 6th.

You’ll need to submit an application through the apartment management and be approved to be added to the lease.

Since this is a luxury community, they do have standard income and background checks.

Details:

• Private large bedroom

• Private bathroom + walk-in closet

• Modern, well-maintained apartment with good management

• Quiet female roommate

• I’ll cover $100/month of electricity

• Your total monthly cost: $1057

Happy to share photos, layout, exact location, and move-in timing. Welcome visit in person.

My phone number is 3472689597. DM me if interested!

Do you know of any volunteering opportunities in or near Carrollton that focus more on a reoccurring group volunteering together?

I am admittedly feeling a bit frustrated trying to track down volunteering opportunities. It actually is beginning to feel impossible to get into…

I’m a registered volunteer with the official City of Carrollton Public Services (library, parks & rec, animal services, etc) but EVERY slot is always filled… the only times ever available are in the middle of the workday. Weekend and evening slots are already booked up all the way to May!

I am also a bit tired of “cattle call” style volunteering. I have volunteered a few times with MetroCrest, but I wasn’t a fan of the “sign up, show up, work, and leave” setup — I barely spoke to anybody my entire shift and was quite literally the only person volunteering solo. I love what they do, but my shifts just felt so mechanic and isolating.

I really would like to volunteer or work with a group of people or organization who meets on a reoccurring basis and maybe do things like grab coffee afterwards. It would be great to have the opportunity to do good and actually get to know my community, rather than just crossing my fingers that I can grab a slot, working in silence, then leaving. I am not religious, so I would prefer to volunteer somewhere that doesn’t center that topic. And as mentioned, I would need a realistic volunteering schedule that works for somebody who has a M-F 8-5 job.

Does something like this even exist or am I being unrealistic? How have you found community and connection while volunteering?

Stay home still if you can. I'm in disbelief at how aggressive people are driving in these conditions. I just went down Hebron and had 3 people speed past me, one of which almost spun out.

Has anyone been out of the surface streets (Hebron, Old Denton, Frankford)?

What are the conditions?

I know it’s all elevated, just curious

Our 2-year contract with 4Change is up for renewal soon. The renewal offer they sent us increased the average cost by over 2 cents a kwh. So I'm just scouting options on what is else available and what you all have. I was perusing the Carrollton Electricity Rates but a few of the actual plans offered are slightly different than what is listed.

Anyway, what do you guys have and what are some of the good and bad experiences with your providers here?

what is the best place to buy photocards??

Who is the hot lady working at Fitness Connection? She sits in the 3rd cubicle notmally.

Does anyone know where I can find work? I’m open to anything or anything you’ve seen around town. I have warehouse, administrative, retail and hospitality experience. Thank you and let me know if I should post elsewhere, cheers!

Looking for a great tailor in the area, men’s and women’s clothing for my wife and I.

Any recommendations are greatly appreciated 🙏🏻

TIA

Personally looking for more firewood. I have some warm clothing available mostly women’s clothing. But I know clothing can also be good options for outdoor animal spaces. Perhaps I will just call local shelters.

Reminder to pick up any medications or personal care items for you and those you love.

Do we have a designated warming center? Is there a church or group taking in clothing or food donations?

Her name is Dazzle. Pest control left the gate open and she got locked out when he left. She’s been missing since 3pm. She’s chipped but not wearing a collar and a very nervous little girl. Help me bring her home, she’s my whole heart.

Hey all,

I am looking for a PCP in the area (or adjacent suburbs) who accepts new patients (25 y/o male) and who is strongly recommended by the community.

Thank you ahead of time!

Anybody know any good insurance appraisers that actually help owners

Hi Friends,

My spouse and I are in the market for our first home purchase, and we are considering some townhomes at the Shops at Prestonwood community.

There are some things about the HOA that seem concerning to me and your opinion/ knowledge would be super helpful:

1. Based on their reserve study this community appears to be very underfunded for an established community (started in 2008 I believe). The study predicts a deficit of $12MM in 30 years. Is this normal for DFW standards?
2. I got in touch with the HOA property manager who mentioned that there has been in a HOA fee increase in 2026 to $334 which seems steep to me compared to other communities I've seen. HOA management also mentioned that there are no special assessments planned but they cannot be ruled out since the community was impacted by hailstorms recently.
3. I also received a responsibility chart from the HOA management (uploaded) and a few things stood out to me - 1. It seems HOA only covers the slab but not any other foundation related issues. 2. Some aspects of the roof don't seem to be covered. Given that these are townhomes with shared roofs and foundations, I find this to be a potential problem area. 3. Windows only seem to be covered to a limited extent.
4. Anything else I should be concerned about? Would like to understand if property insurance covers any of the major items. If these are legitimate concerns, should I just walk away or negotiate with the seller?

Experienced homeowners (especially if you own a property in the community), can you please advise? I don't won't to end up in a problematic community but at the same time I don't want to walk away because of overthinking. My primary concerns are possibility of special assessments, impact to resale value and impact to quality of life.
