Man, losing your parents, wife, and a car crashing into your restaurant all in a year? Rough time. I'll miss this place but hopefully the owner bounces back.

Living Here Better shopping spots?

22 Upvotes

With walmart now using dynamic pricing and all it's data collecting, I want to find better places to shop. I get my groceries at Aldi and Hy-vee if aldi doesn't have something I'm looking for. But what some other good spots to shop at? Not just for food but everything.

Living Here Help Finding a Good Financial Advisor Serving Springfield, MO

12 Upvotes

I have been with someone from Edward Jones for a while now, and I'm not happy. I was passed on to my current financial advisor after the one I liked retired. I was not consulted. This person harasses me with early morning phone calls, trying to get me to make more changes to my account.

We don't have a ton of money to invest. I'm just looking for someone reliable who listens to their clients and performs well on their accounts. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I'm not looking to stay with Edward Jones.

Living Here job recs? server but *anything* is cool. no luck at alllllll :(

9 Upvotes

Hi, like sooo many people i’m trying to find a job! any recommendations or whatever would be VERY appreciated. 25 M, normal all around and no felonies or anything like that haha. a set schedule is not an issue. i just need HOURS and not some 20 a week kind of place. not trying to work just for gas money. don’t really care about benefits at this moment. hoping to hear back from places the next few days/get a job but been the same for weeks

i’ve been a server for years (a great one lol) and just moved back to help take care of family for a bit. was at walmart but hours (along with pay and actually working there) sucked and not enough to live off of. if anyone knows of places hiring/maybe your job if understaffed then it’d be amazing. already tried all the chain restaurants and about 230 other places around town. retail, fast food, restaurants, gas stations, vape shops, small businesses, doordash, amazon have all been nothing. at least as of current. it’s all leading to nothing and it’s the whole ā€œi’ll let someone know you called/pass it on/we are reviewing stuffā€ that obviously leads to nowhere as i’m sure a lot of people are aware of. extremely oversaturated yet everywhere seems to be understaffed but still ā€œhiringā€
i’ve gone in person too at some but goes back to letting someone know i was interested.

extremely stressed with trying to find just about anything that is able to pay hopefully more than min wage since that’s hardly anything. i don’t have any certifications regarding hospital or factory or manufacturing jobs and wouldn’t be a fit even though i’ve applied. i have a degree for film/acting (what i want to do is be in entertainment but trying to be realistic currently especially in missouri) and in progress of getting marketing and management degree even tho that means nothinggggg nowadays. i have an associates too. just trying to live and make sure my cats are taken care of!

it’s all who you know so if anyone knows someone who is hiring then it’d take you up on it! i’m open to most things that will hire me, even if it’s sugar mommy/daddy, i’m not picky.
THANK YOU IF ANYONE IS ABLE TO OFFER ANY SUGGESTIONS!!!

Living Here Do any trash companies pull out your dumpster for you?

8 Upvotes

Does anyone know of any trash companies that will walk up to your garage door and pull the trash can to the street? Would be willing to pay more if needed. My parents are disabled and their driveway is not long (15 ft or so) but it’s very slightly too steep so I worry about them falling down. I would do it myself but I don’t live in the area.

Living Here Ozarks Swamp Ass

Thumbnail

7 Upvotes

Ok so when the Springfield Cardinals announced the rename I was pretty bummed. Figured if they get a new name, I can make my own team too. So here's the Ozarks Swamp Ass, and our mascot Dewey the Donkey!

Anybody who's sat through a ballgame here in July knows exactly where the name came from.

It started as a joke but I'd like it to actually do some good. If we make any money off this, all of it goes to 417 area sports. Still figuring out exactly who that'll be, so if you've got a youth league or program in mind let me know.

The design is original, no AI graphics. I've got samples in hand now (pics below) and they turned out great. Good shirt for the games or just wearing around town. Website is www.ozarksswampass.com if you want to take a look.

If you want Dewey on something besides a shirt, tell me what and we'll make a version.

Please share this around! The more people see it, the more we can give back to local sports.

There are safe-for-work and kids’ versions available, if you just want to have a clean version!

Feel free to leave feedback below, hope you at least get a smile.

Ask Springfield ISO braider for a child with sensory issues.

Hello, I am wondering if anyone specializes in braiding or styling a toddlers hair who is experiencing sensory issues. She is about to turn two and I've been doing beads and braids, but I think she plays a little too rough for beads at the moment. I am not sure how to scalp braid and I'm looking for someone who could do some cute scalp braids. She has type 4 hair it's still pretty short

Living Here Pints, braids and buns events?

1 Upvotes

Good morning Springfield! It has come to my attention that there is a new trend for dads and other married men or single men that are interested that get together for a pint or 2 and learn a new skill. Specifically braiding hair/hair styling for daughters or wives or their GF. Is that a thing here and if so where are they held?

Thank you!

Ask Springfield Cheapest Tow Services

1 Upvotes

I am needing my car towed to a mechanic. It will not start and I think the starter is bad. I have a good mechanic I am established with that is close by, I just don’t want to pay $100 to have it towed from my house to the shop.

Edit:

It has been a while since I had a car towed as you might be able to tell-so what is the cheapest reliable service? I guess I will have to pay over $100.
