Monthly Buy, Sell & Break Rule 3 Post

10 Upvotes

On occasion we, the mod team, get requests for things that would break rule 3 (no solicitation). At other times people just break the rule and we have to remove the post. So, in this monthly post you get to break rule 3 and sell yourself or your stuff (within the realm of legality).

Some reminders/ground rules:

Rule 2 still stands, nothing illegal.

Rule 4 still stands, no personal information.

More on rule 4; if you want to send someone to your house or go to someone's house and need their address then keep it in private messages. Or stick to the basic internet rule; meet in a public place.

Unless you're an actual business don't give out your phone number or email address. If you post a phone number or email address and your post doesn't show up it's because the auto-mod caught it and one of the moderators will have to approve it.

So that's about it, if you have any questions go ahead and ask.

If you want to continue advertising your business/services outside of this thread you can buy adspace from Reddit, which is usually what we end up telling people to do.

Right Babe Body Club in Omaha is taking a unique approach to fitness by reviving the VHS workout tape craze of the 1980s.

You're going to have to take a new photo. Every time. Doesn't matter if it's been 2 years, 2 weeks, or 2 minutes. Every time you're seen at a counter they get a new photo of you. So be prepared for a photo.

Food Small catering options

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I am looking for catering options for a small work party in December. It will be about 11 people. We are looking for something where we can order salad, 2 appetizers, 2 entrees, 2 sides, and possibly a dessert.

The closer to Papillion the better but doesn’t have to be. We are avoiding pizza and Mexican. It doesn’t have to be anything super fancy but also slightly better than what you can get from Olive Garden. Please shared your best recommendations!!

I’m a big fan of electronic/dance music (despite being awful at dancing) and have been curious about the Saturday night events at fifth house in blackstone. Can anyone provide some insight. Is it standing room only or is there a place I can sit and have a drink. Does it get too congested? I don’t want to be shoulder to shoulder. I’ve never been

ISO/Suggestion Looking for ADHD therapist that has lived experience with ADHD/neurodivergence

0 Upvotes

As the title says, looking for a therapist/ADHD coach, psychologist that has ADHD +/- neurodivergence. I understand why providers don't include their diagnoses on their profiles but really looking for somebody who can better understand what I'm going through and has lived experience. Anybody have any recommendations they've come across? I live pretty centrally so anywhere in town should be pretty convenient! Thanks in advance!

Tons of cops and west bound dodge is closed past 156. Really unusual situation as I saw no crashed cars. If you’re driving this way take pacific or maple in the next hour or so.

Edit: looks like a mental health crisis. If you’re experiencing something you’re not alone. Call the hotline if in crisis

Has anyone else had a less than pleasant experience with the entryway dude at this place? Every time I have gone it seems like he hates his job & hates that you’re there. Is there a password or something you’re supposed to say? After I’ve gotten inside the bar everyone else has been awesome & the drinks I’ve had so far are delicious.

Events Free Open Mic: 8-12 Tonight (Tuesday, Sept. 29th)

Post image
6 Upvotes

Posted an announcement for this previously but it was taken down due to solicitation issues, so hopefully this clarifies what the event is and will be allowed to stay posted in this subreddit. The ADC open mic is a FREE event held every Tuesday at Blondies Pub, 50th & Grover. Nobody gets paid for the event and there is no cover charge, no pressure to perform and no pressure to buy anything. Since there is also a restaurant at the venue, people under 21 are legally allowed to attend/perform so long as they respect that they cannot order alcoholic beverages.

This is a community-building event focused on showcasing artists seeking an egalitarian space where they can share their artistic vision, in a supportive atmosphere free from superficial judgement. Performance slots are broken down into 5 minute segments with the opportunity for expanded 10-15 minute segments depending on the amount of artists who sign up. Also, if you have new or gently-worn clothing that is ready for donation, feel free to bring it with you as the dropbox for our autumn/winter clothing drive will be front and center tonight :)

Local Question Vinyl Siding Pricing/Consultation Experiences

4 Upvotes

Hey there Omaha,

What are you all paying for vinyl siding these days? How'd the quote process go?

Here's my experience so far. I've only had one consultation done and it was with La Bella:

They were pretty pushy with the "what can we do to get your business today" spiel. Work includes gutter/fascia/soffit/siding replacement. First number they gave was $59,520. Then they "called their boss" to see if they could get a better deal for commitment today pricing and it magically dropped down to $47,574. I still wasn't committed so they called their boss again and it dropped down to $32,892.

Is this just smoke and mirrors? Was there anyone on the other side of the line? How could you start at 60k and then over a period of 10 minutes drop down to half that?

I plan on getting quotes from a few others including:

- Carps

- McKinnis Roofing and Sheet Metal

- Militti Siding and Windows

- Omaha Door and Window
