How do we compete with trunk-or-treating?

11 Upvotes

Last year, we didn't get many trick-or-treaters, even though the weather was nice. We're in the Hamburg/Liberty area, in a pretty safe neighborhood with lots of families and kids.

I know trunk-or-treating is a big thing now, but is there any way to get more kids trick-or-treating in neighborhoods again?

Where to find Jellycats?

Post image
8 Upvotes

Howdy!!

Like the title says, I’m wondering where to find Jellycats here in Lexington. I’m specifically looking for Rockleton, though I know it’s a longshot. I fell in love with this little dork a while back, but people keep telling me the faces look weird on theirs, so I’d love to see him in person rather than order him online.

I know people said Joseph Beth had Jellycats, but from my understanding it was recently bought out, so I’m not sure if it still stocks them or not.

Any help would be awesome!!

Forest Hill Dr Yapping Dog

36 Upvotes

To the dog “owners” who live on Forest Hill Drive… I have no idea why you believe that consistently leaving your dog in the backyard from 3,4,5am is a good idea for anyone, but I assure you IT IS NOT. Currently your dog has been barking non stop since 5:30am. It is inconsiderate to not only every single neighbor around you, but to your dog, who VERY CLEARLY does NOT want to be outside.

DO BETTER.

UK OBGYN or Midwives

1 Upvotes

I want opinions, but please be nice. I am pregnant after infertility. I have a BMI of 36.9. I am very open to science and what professionals think is best, but I don’t like the idea of being pushed into a C-section or induction just because of my weight without looking at the full spectrum of my pregnancy health. That being said, I have gone to a UK OBGYN and loved my doctor (Marcum), but I’m scared that I will be given another doctor when my water breaks instead of being induced. I like that with UK midwives, you meet all providers, so you will for sure know the person you deliver with. But I’m worried that there may be providers I jive with more than others. Please give me all the pros and cons between the two offices that you know. I am NOT open to any other offices. TIA

Sweet, loyal 4-year-old girl needs a new home in Lexington (Faith)

Thumbnail

166 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I’m looking for a loving home for my dog Faith. I rescued her and she has been an amazing companion, but my financial situation has changed and I can no longer keep up with her specialized food and care. She deserves someone who can give her that consistently, and I’d much rather find her the right home myself than see her end up back in a shelter.

About Faith:

  • 4 years old, mixed breed
  • Very smart, sweet, loyal, and obedient
  • Potty trained, crate trained, and leash trained
  • Knows sit, stay, lay down, come here, eat, and drink
  • A big cuddler who will happily claim your couch or your bed

Her health, so there are no surprises:
Faith has IBD and is very manageable with the right routine. She eats Royal Canin Hydrolyzed Protein food only and gets a daily digestive health supplement. She has a flare-up about every 3 months, though I can’t predict how mild or rough one will be. For flare-ups, Cerenia and Metronidazole are what she has needed, and they’ve kept things manageable.

What comes with her:

  • Crate, 3 blankets, and a leash and collar
  • Her hoodie, plus a food bowl and water bowl
  • The food and digestive supplements I have left
  • Her medications, including Cerenia, Metronidazole, and a few backups, so you’re covered if she has a flare-up
  • Her vet records and medication info

What I’m looking for:
Someone who can commit to her diet and has a vet they can rely on. She’s been through enough change, so I want to make sure her next home is a lasting one.

How this will work:
Please DM me with a little about yourself, your home, and any other pets, plus your vet’s name if you have one. I’ll set up a meet and greet at a public place first so Faith and I can both see how it goes. I’m not able to share my address publicly.

This is incredible. If you can spare a minute or two, please watch the following video. Support if you want; don’t if you don’t!

Send it to a climber friend, send it to a non-climber friend, send it to a fellow Kentuckian, send it to somebody in Guam! This is an amazing thing that will bring folks to our great state.

Hope this doesn’t break any rules— just so excited for this.

INVESTIGATIVE REPORT: Internal FCPS Records Reveal Systemic Causes Behind Restroom Locks & Hall Pass Restrictions at Frederick Douglass High School

33 Upvotes

LEXINGTON, KY — Following a public records investigation under the Kentucky Open Records Act (KORA), The Record 859 has obtained over 50 internal Fayette County Public Schools (FCPS) files, administrative emails, maintenance logs, and supervision rosters regarding daily operations at Frederick Douglass High School (FDHS).

While policies limiting hallway access and locking restrooms have sparked frustration among students and parents, internal records show these measures are a direct operational response to severe staffing shortages and widespread facility vandalism.

WHAT THE RECORDS SHOW:
* 100+ Plumbing Work Orders: Maintenance logs over a two-year period document extensive damage, including sinks repeatedly torn from classroom walls, toilet supply line handles removed, and drain clogs caused by foreign objects.
* Staffing Shortages Force Hallway Bans: Internal emails from school administrative deans explicitly state that hall pass freezes and hub closures were instituted to manage unsupervised hallways caused by uncovered substitute teacher slots.
* Restroom Escorts & Door Guards: Official duty rosters confirm classroom teachers are assigned to stand guard at restroom entrances—limiting entry to a small group of students at a time—while administrative escorts are required for individual student access during class time.
* We are also learning that this is not isolated just to FDHS as more parents have reached out regarding their children being unable to access restrooms during the school day.

PUBLIC TRANSPARENCY REPOSITORY:
In the interest of full public transparency, The Record 859 is publishing all raw records, work orders, and internal emails for community review.

📁 Access the full document drive here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1x7A_-lKXL-wS8qYj56e0QhbkgLr8axGN

Note: FCPS administration was provided with an opportunity to comment prior to publication, but did not respond to multiple requests.

The Record 859 is an independent, grassroots investigative platform committed to factual, record-driven reporting across Central Kentucky.
