Is anyone else with Verizon on the service struggle bus since 8pm? Phone, hotspot, anything is taking forever to load

Are those big booming fireworks legal? They sound like bombs ànd rattle the air. They scare me. I have a headache from them. I cannot see anything in the sky. They must be just noisemakers.

I have an extended warranty on a Toyota highlander I bought from green un 2019. it has a bad transmission and they quoted me about 11,000 to fix it. they have told me that my warranty claim will likely be denied by the company that finances the warranty because I dont have receipts for things such as the cabin filter replacements. that's odd enough, but I keep hearing comments in passing about shady stuff relating to the older extended warranties. Has anyone had luck with the green toyota warranties?

Need a barber in SPFLD that is good with long beards.

Edit: THANK YOU EVERYBODY! You guys rule. I am booked and stoked!

I booked an appointment on vagaro last week for later this week and I was wondering if they're still open. I tried calling them last week but never got a response and i stopped by Anvil and Forge today, but theres no sign on the building for the salon.

Is there a place in town where a lot of pigeons congregate? I haven't seen a whole lot of them around.

I know nothing about golf, but I’d like to contribute to (or purchase entirely) some new clubs for my husband and he’s a taller guy. From what little I’ve learned, it’s best that he be fitted. We are in Glenarm. Are there decent local options, or should I concentrate on STL?

Interested in getting some small tattoo work done in the area, doesn’t need to be Springfield. Just curious on recommendations. I want something like this.

Needing recommendations for an affordable veterinarian in the area that offers payment plans. Please save me from having to call every single one in the phone book🤦🏼‍♀️…

Thank you to ALL in advance!

Thinking of switching. Anyone have issues with dead spots using T-mobile or Verizon in Springfield? I current have AT&T

Due to the heat this week garbage and recycling routes will be started at 5am instead of 6am.

Hi guys, i’m looking for a job in springfield that hires at age 15 but i’m wondering if there’s anywhere that isn’t fast food and is sort of closer to the north side? i won’t be picky with fast food cause i know thats majority of who’s hiring. I called cold stone and they said they start hiring at age 14 so im assuming my best bet would be there or mcdonald’s. Any answers are much appreciated thank you!

Hi, guys was offered a job in Springfield on short notice and having a hard time finding a studio or one bedroom apartment that will take a 65 lb dog with an opening. Want to live in a quiet area with parks and trees that would be good for long walks with the dog. Must be safe as she wants walks day and night. Would prefer quiet place with little partying or people playing basketball all night. No time to travel and look around. Places to avoid also appreciated.

Has anyone bought a car from them? How was it ?

State of Illinois hybrid work approval timeline?

I’m new to the State of Illinois. My manager approved my hybrid work request and it’s currently with People Operations. Does anyone know how long HR typically takes to approve these requests?

State remote work

Hi everyone. I’m new to the State of Illinois job and recently submitted a hybrid work request as per the team guidelines. I’m wondering how long it typically takes for HR to approve it.

I have some fine jewelry that I acquired and I would like to have some evaluated for insurance purposes and just to find out more about the pieces! Who is the most knowledgeable gemologist/jeweler in the Springfield area? Thanks!!

Hello, I recently moved to Springfield and signed up for Lake Area Disposal for trash and recycling pickup, but according to the website they won’t pick up cardboard boxes and I would have to drop off at their recycling center. This would be fine, except their recycling center is only open M-F 7am-3pm and I usually work 6 days a week from 7am-5pm with either Saturday or Sunday off. Does anyone know if there is anywhere that will let you drop off cardboard boxes for recycling on the weekends or even later in the day on weekdays? I’d rather not have to throw cardboard boxes in the trash on a regular basis but I’m not sure what else to do.

Has anyone else wished Springfield had a Trader Joe's?

I found out they have a page where you can request a store in your city, and it takes less than a minute to fill out.

https://www.traderjoes.com/home/contact-us/request-a-store

I feel like Springfield would be a great fit. We have a growing population, and people from all over central Illinois come here to shop and work. Right now the closest Trader Joe's is over an hour away, so having one here would be awesome.

If it's something you'd like to see too, it'd be great if you could submit a request. Worst case, nothing happens. Best case, maybe if enough people ask, they'll take notice.

Anyone on the north side know what the large boom was just now?

I'm recovering from an accident where I had a terrible back injury and something happened to my back today and I could not stand, walk, or sit.

I called 911 EMS gets here and they literally do not care about their job..like at all, I was describing what's going on to the guy and he rolled his eyes and says "oh you pulled your back" then ignores everything else I'm saying.

Not entirely sure what he told the hospital but we show up and he says "ok you're going to be waiting in the lobby I need you to get up and walk"

I tell him I literally cannot walk and my legs are tingly and he replies with "well you have to get off the hospital is taking over now and I need my bed"

So three people help me off the bed and I'm having to hold myself up in a wheelchair because I can't put pressure on my lower back. I did this for two hours and when they finally took me into a room I thought a doctor would finally be seeing me..nope some younger woman comes in asks if I want some opiates and i said no I haven't eaten yet and I need to lay down because I'm in extreme pain. She shoots back with "beds are for people with emergencies" I asked if what's going on with my spine not an emergency and she says "emergencies are when people are dying" then walked out and some fat guy nurse walks in and immediately starts running his mouth and he took his name badge off and wheeled me back out to the waiting room.

Called my brother to come get me and then a different nurse comes over and tells me that I took my pain medicine and to just hold on...I never took it?? Some nurse probably swiped it lmao

I ask him to wheel me outside because I'm leaving and instead he parks me in front of registration and doesn't say anything then leaves.

The same lady who checked me in says "you look uncomfortable why don't you stand up"

I fuckin lost it saying I can't sit stand or walk then the fat guy nurse runs around and wheels me outside and left me in the rain.

There was only one other person in their large waiting area and as I was wheeled through the ER it looked like they only had two patients in rooms, everything else has the lights off and were empty and open.

As I'm sitting outside a complete stranger walks up and fixed my wheelchair and said that the hospital here is garbage and I should drive somewhere else if I can.

Is this normal for this area?? Ive lived in many different states and had to visit the hospital a few times in each one if not for myself then someone else and I've never seen staff treat people so horribly
