I was unaware of this new law. Most people use a drivers license, but I served at the polls for several years. We did have people use some of the other methods that are no longer permitted.

If you do not have an accepted ID, you can get a free voter ID card, provided you have the required documents to get it.

Remember early voting is October 29-31, and election day is November 3. All registered voters can vote early or on election day in Fayette at any of the public libraries. On election day you can also vote at your designated precinct.

KENTUCKY IS TIED FOR 1ST IN SEC! THIS IS OUR YEAR, WE WIN IT ALL!

Hello!

I’m in the process of trying to leave an abusive relationship (please see my last post), and am looking for someone who can foster my five-year-old dog. It would be through February/March of next year and I’m willing to pay/provide food, vaccine records, etc. She gets along well with cats, other dogs, and kids. For safety reasons, I’d prefer not say her name or post pictures here, but if you’re interested, please do send me a private message and I’ll be happy to provide more details.

Thanks!

Free for anyone who wants to come pick it up

I’m not a huge sports fan so honestly was planning a date weekend with my wife and after checking prices in Lexington realized there was a UK game and Keeneland last day. ( we watch soccer religiously but that’s about it)

So unfortunately we shifted to Georgetown.

We plan on going up there for the day staying at a cheap hotel and eventually going to houndmouth at the burl.

What are some cool day drinking spots in Georgetown or things to do before checking into hotel and eventually the show ?

Looking for someone to install a simple outdoor calisthenics station at my house in Midway. Scope:

Set five 6x6 pressure-treated posts in concrete (two ~12 ft, three ~8 ft; 12" holes, about 36" deep)

Mount a pull-up bar and two dip rails, all post-to-post (I'm supplying the bar kit — may need minor cutting to fit)

I have a full spec sheet with sketch, heights, footing details, and materials list

You'd supply/pick up lumber and concrete (I'll reimburse or pay direct), I supply the bars.

DM me with a rough quote range and availability if interested.

I’m in a pickle that requires a 23MM Socket (thanks ford) and no store carries one not even in a set. Anyone got a 23 I could borrow?

EDIT found one in stock. Thanks everyone!

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!!

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

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.

Looking to figure out how to make the Beach’s of New York cocktail at malones

Visiting next weekend for Scarefest and wanted to visit some older cemeteries when we aren’t at the convention. Preferably ones from the 1800s! Any recommendations?

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.

Does anyone have any experience with Bluegrass Fertility or finding a specialist that takes whatever UK HMO offers? Dr. Veloudis is entirely self pay so he’s out. Has anyone with UK HMO traveled to Cincinnati or Louisville?

What even is the point of this.. like?? I used to go on nature walks over there but I guess now that we’re falling to surveillance state the big corpo bros gotta watch my every step on that now. This area used to be a park back in the day too (shadybrook park)

Hi y’all - I’m looking for a running partner. The ideal partner is running 7 min miles and could be at a 6 min pace w/in a couples months - hoping to target 5k distance out the box. Any takers or recommendations as to where I look for people who fit this profile?

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.

Hey what’s up everyone! I’m seeing a lot of people new to the area or just looking for people to hang out with.

Swing by tomorrow starting at 1pm! We would love to meet you all

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.
