Not sure what’s going on. Never had this many issues with power. North Arlington here.

I noticed my portable lithoum ion battery charger stopped working and is slowly expanding. I've looked up where to dispose of it safely but I've had no luck. I found this page on the Arlington website about proper disposal in Arlington, it says that Lowe's and Home Depot are disposal options, but when I called the Lowes on W Arbrook and the Home Depot on W Road to Six Flags St, they both said that they only take batteries with nothing wrong with them. I called batteries+ on N Fielder and no human answered the phone. Now I am thinking that I literally have to call the fire department next. I checked out the Battery Network website to see where I can dispose and it literally lists locations that I have already called that say that they actually can't dispose of my expanding battery.

I'm getting really frustrated at this point, is there actually a place where I can dispose of this lithium ion rechargeable battery before it blows up and starts a fire? ​

FYI, if you plan on voting by mail it takes 2 stamps. The post office announced yesterday that any ballots with a single stamp will be returned for insufficient postage. The envelope they send you only has a square for 1 stamp but the postage requires 2.

It’s a little late, but I just thought to post this here! I’m hosting a free artist get together where beginner or veteran artists in the area can meet to draw alongside each other!

I’m hosting one today and one on the 10th!

I am a dad with a 6 year old kid living in Tarrant County. My wife and I separated two months ago, but we have been splitting time back and forth between us. That changed, however, when I told her I was ready to go through with our separation. Now, she insists that our child should stay with her mainly because my job requires me to go to work earlier than she does. I have always dropped him off from school, taken him to the pediatrician, and become involved in soccer practices and other parenting activities, so it sounds strange to me to hear suggestions that I will be a “weekend parent now.” I want to avoid either keeping records about everything we do or showing up to court without anything on my hands. Has anyone else gone through this kind of situation here? What kind of records would be useful?

Hi all, I’m looking for advice and/or resources. I don’t want this to sound like one of those scammy posts but I do need help. I’m a regular lower middle class mom with a full time job. I’m so stressed about money and the upcoming holidays that I can’t think about it without crying. I’m not low income enough to qualify for any formal assistance but I am low income enough to have a maxed out credit card and have to sell items on marketplace to buy groceries with cash. What I’m asking is, are there any food banks, free meals, Christmas present assistance programs that you all know about? We’re not going to get evicted, but we are living on oatmeal and I could really just use some help. Please DM me if uncomfortable posting a resource.

Edit: thank you everybody 🙏

Long story short.. I'm dealing with someone who has a record of this, though we've been through it and all things were revealed some time ago. But, patterns are patterns and we're back to disappearing from around 10:30-1:00am a few nights a week.

I'm looking for someone who might be interested in staking out a place around 10:30.. maybe 15-30 minutes. Taking pictures if seeing anything, etc..

I don't really want to get into details here, but would appreciate anyone who might be available and interested contacting me.

Thank you

Edit: Not asking for relationship advice here. I do realize and completely acknowledge that the trust issue, is mine to work out. But because of that, I'm not going to levy accusations at her simply because I have doubts. I would rather know, and have the evidence.

If you want to give relationship advice, then there are plenty of reddits where your expertise in psychology and relationships will be appreciated.

Coolest temps since late May. This is the mood-booster I so badly need.

To the lady on my right, next to me at stop light by the stadium.

Thank you for fist bumping with us.

I good song started playing and I was head bobbing to my daughter in the passenger seat, the young lady next to me started laughing and fist bumped. My 10yr old got SO DANG embarrassed, highlight of my dad only day with my kiddos....VIBE PASSED!!!!!

Like the title says. She doesn't even USE Via that often so we are baffled

We're both in our mid 20s nor in school

About 3.7” in about 4 hours at Park Row/Fielder

Not sure why the city is allowing the contractor building the new development where the golf course was drag their feet getting the entrances done and reopening both lanes. It's been several months now. It isn't like the city doing road construction, it's a private developer. And they did nothing for three months but kept the right lane closed.

Sorry for the sad title but I’m trying to get information looking for my dogs that got out yesterday. One is chipped and registered to my brother and he got a call saying she was found but we can’t trace the number. After many phone calls I got some info that someone saw them in this area on the highway. But they wouldn’t have sent crews to get them because they can’t go on the highway. I’ve called txdot but they haven’t reported any dogs in the past day. Is there any other service in Arlington/GP that would pick up potentially deceased animals?

Me and my family are planning on adopting a cat or two from a fostercare place, does anyone have a good fostercare place that me and my family can adopt a cat from in arlington - Dallas area in Texas

Does anyone have any good foundation repair companies that they would recommend me? Trying to find a company that wont charge and arm and a leg. I'm seeing some cracks on our exterior and interior walls. Thank you!

EDIT: We ended up going with TX Foundation Pros - they were the only ones to answer the call and come out the next day. Fair pricing as well.

It’s time for a new mattress. Any recommendations for a good store in Arlington?

Coming up bright at Park Row/Fielder

Looking to have a floral bracelet done but want someone really good with fine line to make it as delicate as I am hoping. Any artist recommendations or shop referrals in the area? Photo for example

Public Transportation Rant

Hello! I just moved to Arlington, TX about a year ago from Dallas, TX. I've lived in Texas my whole life. I have to say I really love Arlington! The people are so nice and very welcoming. Lots of little small upcoming businesses. The only issue I see is that there is no public transportation. I know there is Arlington on Demand? I believe that's what it's called. But from what I hear it's unreliable, so I almost don't want to even really give it a shot.

From what I've read from past Arlington posts is that public transportation has been on the ballot about 3-5 times and every single time it's been rejected by the residents. Okay, fair. I suppose.

But from 2002 to now, how come it hasn't been on the ballot? It seems with how Arlington has grown and modernized in the last 25 years, why hasn't it come up again? I bet we would have a fighting chance to get it passed.

It also seems that a lot of residents would vote for it in my opinion. I've noticed that Arlington is very family oriented, but there are a lot of young people too. After all, UTA is literally right there. Students need to get their basic needs met too

Not everyone can afford to live on campus or right across campus.

It just seems to me that this is something that benefits everyone. Not just students, not just elderly people, but it could also help single parents that don't have funds to own a vehicle. Let's not forget it's gas, oil changes, state inspections, tires, car payment, and car insurance. At this point, I'd probably save more with a property tax increase. Then I could sell my car.

I don't know, I love Arlington! It just seems hard to get around, especially for how big this place is.

Would love your current thoughts on public transportation! I know maybe it's not for everyone, but from where I see it I would gladly vote for public transportation so that it would help someone else.

Hey y'all, my car is stuck at a gas station, possibly a radiator problem. Where do I find a good local mobile mechanic in Arlington? Thanks!
