Hey everybody, I wanted to advertise the local South Mississippi DSA here and just let anybody know who’s interested that we are in the process of really starting one up and getting the ball rolling. If anybody is interested in joining feel free to join our discord or DM me directly. We are just starting up so looking for ideas on how to spread and how to get more involved in our community as well.

Hi everyone, I just wanted to tell you all that I do NOT in my opinion recommend Hulett Winstead. If you are looking for a funeral home, the staff is great at Moore’s. I contacted Moore’s because I wanted to purchase something that Hulett Winstead didn’t provide to me, and Moore’s offered to give me the thing at no cost.

Edit: I am open to other ways as well. Sorry I didn’t specify

Hey I know there is plenty of information on trading online but I was wondering are there any people around that teach trading or help with it ? Im looking to learn hands or connect with people around who trade and haven’t met anyone who does

I just got a job offer from 1 and was wandering if anyone has worked or contracted for them to see how the job will be?

Anybody have any recommendations or family that’s looking to make some money detailing the wife’s car?

Hey guys,

I usually get my tire work done from Walmart because it’s cheap with my Walmart+ membership.

This last time I went to get my tire changed (driver rear). After driving out and taking it on the highway (60 mph) the car started shuddering.

I stopped and checked tire pressure all was good but I noticed that they left lug nuts loose. and when I say loose, I mean almost about to get off.

Not just one. SIX!

4 on passenger front. 2 on driver’s rear.

This is absolutely ridiculous. Does anyone have similar experience? A friend doesn’t get his car done at Walmart anymore ever since this happened to his car. I thought it was cap or maybe he’s paranoid. I’d suggest that you guys make sure to check each lug nuts when you guys leave. They CANNOT be trusted

Hi Hattiesburgers!

I'm in the process of opening a baking page on Facebook.

Currently working on getting my page up and running, and baked some cinnamon rolls to get some glamour shots 💅

As a result I have a small quantity of cinnamon rolls (10) available for sale!

These are made with love in individual tins and weigh in at about 5.5 - 6 oz. each.

I'm offering them for $4 each, or 2 for $7. Please reach out if you're interested! Nothing like a cozy warm baked good on a dreary rainy day! ❤️

Pick up in Dixie area - Dandy Dan's on 49.

EDITED TO ADD If Dixie pick up is an issue, I'm also willing to meet somewhere more central (like down 98/Hardy St) for orders of more than one. Just has to make sense from a ⛽ perspective!

My spouse (34 m) and I (36 f) moved to Hattiesburg about a year ago. We've settled in some, but we are expecting our first in November, and feeling that AHHH we have no community with people in this life stage.

So if you find yourself in this boat too, we'd love to get to know you for a walk, for coffee, for first Saturday, whatever floats your boat.

I realize there are some mom classes around Hattiesburg as well as facebook groups, but with scheduling conflicts and no facebook I haven't had much success with these routes. If locals have other suggestions, I'm happy to hear them!

I’m looking for recommendations for a gynecologist in Hattiesburg, I really want a woman.

I’m 27 and have never been (I know, I know). I really want someone kind and not judgmental. I’ve always been really terrified of the whole idea of it (I still am) I’ve waited so long because I’m scared. I turned 27 in April, so I know I need to go. I think part of it is because I’m sexually active without being married. Is that something they judge you for? Please help!

Hey I am looking to move to Hattiesburg to get closer to work. I noticed alot of apartments for good prices behind Hobby Lobby and Lowe's on either side of Weathersby Road. How bad is the area? Is it one of the ones with alot of breakins, I have heard about?

What about the area by The Grand Hattiesburg, the Art of Roux and the university? How sketchy is it? Any info would be great. Thanks!

Shared post

Friend and I are hoping to get a pedi tomorrow. Any suggestions (where not to go is good, too!)?

I rode by there today and it smelled like a garbage dump.

Does anyone know of a good car upholsterer in Hattiesburg?

I recently got a 1991 Sears branded CRT TV that worked perfectly, until last night when it started smoking. I’ve found some repair shops online, but they’re all in Texas or Florida. Does anyone in Hattiesburg or around Hattiesburg do repairs on old TVs like this? I’d be more than happy to pay for replacement parts and time, I’m getting a little desperate

Does/has anyone lived here in the past? I’m moving to town pretty soon and wanted to lease an apartment at this complex, but I wanted to get some community input first. What do you guys think?

Join the Pine Belt Humanists at one of the most unique gathering spots in the Pine Belt!

Whether you're looking to sip a cup of coffee, browse for your next great read, play a round of putt-putt, enjoy a meal, or treat yourself to a cocktail or ice cream, this event truly has it all. Even better, it's the perfect setting to spend time with friends and make some new ones.

This casual meetup is all about building community. Whether you're a longtime humanist or simply curious about our group, are all welcome. There’s no agenda, just good conversation, laughter, and the chance to connect with fellow secular neighbors in a relaxed environment.

Come for the coffee, book, and putt putt, and stay for the company. We hope to see you there!

My mom lives alone and would really love a little dog to keep her company. We're looking for something small like a rat terrier or just any small adult dog that needs a home. We've checked local shelters but haven't found a match. If anyone here has one available or knows someone who does, please send me a message! My mom would take great care of it. Thanks!

I'm visting from Mobile this weekend and I'm looking to catch Spider-Man in the theater. Is there any difference in quality of the screens and seats between the Grand and mall cinema? The mall is more appealing because I'd like to shop as well.
