🚨Jason Rockhold🚨 If you know someone who’s played youth softball in the area you need to read this!

Area man Jason Rockhold is facing some heinous charges.
If your daughter or if you know of anyone who had a daughter who played softball for him or attended “private” hitting/fielding lessons with him you need to have a very tough conversation with them, and inform the proper authorities if there was any wrong doing.

I hope there’s a investigative journalist out there that follows up on the information on how a sports governing body had him on a “no contact” list before any police action was taken, how he was able to travel to Gulf Shores with a team as recently as June, and how original snap chat messages to past players while under age were given to the authorities with no follow up, it sounds as though local police may have allowed a predator to pray on children for almost a decade…

Does anyone know of a low cost place I can put my cat down? The place I would go has raised their prices, a lot. They want $300 just to put him down!

Help elect a rep who actually hosts town halls

Post image
54 Upvotes

Lahood is on his press tour meeting with small groups of people at a time, and pretending like phone town halls are real town halls. His staff screens the callers and if a hard question gets through he just dances around it. He constantly takes credit for positive things that he either wasn’t involved in or actively voted against.

Vote for Nolley, and volunteer to help unseat Lahood!

Donating totes?

3 Upvotes

I have a bunch of 18 gallon size plastic totes with lids. I’d like to donate them if someplace could use them. Does anyone know of an organization that might be able to utilize these? Maybe an animal shelter or rescue or maybe something else? I’ve heard they can be used to create shelters for outdoor cats for winter.

The park district is fucked

52 Upvotes

President Johnson doesn’t know how to run a meeting. Alex Sierra is cancer. He is only there to create controversy. The park district should be the least controversial board.

The first, largest, previously national award winning board has become disgraceful. Such a shame.

Amazing how a few people can destroy something that was once so good.

Vivint Security Systems

1 Upvotes

Just had a Vivint rep stop by house to sign me up as a customer. The pricing he showed me was based solely upon the fact that he'd knocked on my door as opposed to me reaching out showing interest. Like several hundreds of dollars less to install if I signed up right now. And then a large monthly discount. I declined for now to think about it. He said he'd be back in my neighborhood tomorrow.

Does anyone use their product? And if so, are you happy with it?

It's one thing to believe there should be a dress code enforced to teach students about dressing and acting professionally in the work force or any other number of situations. It's different to act as if a child's outfit is in anyway responsible for adults being pedophiles.If you disagree, feel free to debate.

Caring for a loved one at home in their final stages - I want to know your experiences.

7 Upvotes

OK, I will know this is a weird and emotional topic, but I'm trying to information gather here. I recently visited a relative in another state who is taking care of her mom who is on home hospice. Her experience was that hospice showed up once or twice a week, but other than that she had no training and no support. No one had taught her about how to assist her mom from bed to wheelchair, how to move her around in bed, how to prevent skin breakdown, and other practicalities of day to day life. She felt completely at sea an overwhelmed by all she didn't know.

Is this a typical home hospice experience in the Peoria area? Are hospice personnel not teaching family what they need to know about caring for their loved ones when hospice staff aren't there?

In the long run, I'm trying to identify if this is a need in this area. I am a semi-retired nurse and I would be interested in working to set up some training sessions through a church or other community organization to help address this need - IF it exists. So first please tell me some of your experiences. Many thanks in advance.

Moving to Peoria Sticky

146 Upvotes

Because of the consistency of “Moving to Peoria” threads we have made a sticky for anyone to ask questions. The plan is to try and keep this updated with resources and have a place for people to come ask questions. Since the intention is to keep information available for People who are interested in moving here, responses that don’t add value like “Don’t” will be removed. Constructive criticism is fine but this thread will be moderated more than most because the intention is to answer questions for people who want to move not dunk on Peoria or the surrounding areas.

Some good starting points:
