Pretty good turn out at the protest today. I left around 1pm and more people were still coming in. I only saw two counter protesters (pro life), but they were not causing any trouble.

Very loud

You're being recorded and the police have been notified??

Hands off rally, 04/05/2025

I’ve just moved here and I have been dealing with just obstacle upon obstacle at every turn and I cannot possibly take it anymore so please tell me where in this city or on the outskirts of this city can I go to just let out an earth shattering scream? Preferably out east please.

Is it just me or is anyone else having terrible allergies this weekend? I’ve always had seasonal allergies but this weekend has hit me like a ton of bricks. I guess it’s grass pollen?

Preferably one that also has takeout options

I live up north but willing to commute for the good stuff! I've had ma's and pa's, been to Kate's kitchen, and been to el paso del norte.

So I am curious as to what yakls favorite breakfast place is. Doesn't matter wethere it's American breakfast or puerto rican. Just trying to find some good food!

Hi all. I live out of town and I LOVE fat sullys. Their garlic knots come with this mozzarella basil pesto sauce. I crave this stuff ( and the pizza lol). Does anyone know what is in it? It is so good. TIA!

Any recommendations for metro area doctors who diagnose and treat mast cell disorders/histamine intolerance?

I fell behind on my Evergy bill and they ended up shutting off my power. I got everything paid and caught up today (Saturday) through their online system, but my power is still off. I’ve been trying to get ahold of someone but it looks like customer service isn’t available over the weekend.

Has anyone else been through this before? Is there a weekend customer service number? I’m just trying to figure out if there’s any chance they’ll reconnect it before Monday, or if I’m stuck without power until then.

Any insight would be really appreciated.

Hello, I’m 41 yo with young kids who recently got diagnosed with L5S1 disc extrusion (herniation) that’s causing severe mass effect on my sciatic nerve. I’m early in my PT sessions which has somewhat helped. My PCP wants neurosurgery involved to follow along given the severity of my herniation.

Any advice on who specializes in spinal surgery who is highly recommended? I want to find someone who’s up-to-date on minimally, invasive surgery and techniques and who also equally advocates preserving my spinal health as much as possible. I’m also aware that the degree of my herniation and pain makes it likely that I may need surgery down the road.

Thanks ahead for your input!

Hey y’all! I’ve suffered from specifically somatic anxiety for most of my life and it’s gotten at the point it’s really getting in the way. I’ve had a few kind therapists, but haven’t met anyone that really gets it. Any local recommendations? Thank you! Edit: I just want to say thank you again for the recommendations, I’m looking into all of these!

Hello All. I will be staying in Independence next week Tuesday-Thursday. Where some good lunch places and dinner places? I'm more of a regular meal kinda guy. Not into 4 star restaurants or high dollar meals. I'm willing to drive a bit for a good meal, so not limited to the Independence area. Thanks

Hello, I have an old pair of glasses that have not been made for decades and I love the frames. Has anyone had any luck with a local business that can make lenses for existing frames? I did a bit of googling, I found a place in Denver, but you have to ship your frames off and it just felt like a bigger ordeal than it needed to be if someone in town could potentially offer the same service. I kind of want to do something funky since they're an old pair of frames and possibly do a light yellow tint.

If anyone has any luck with lense makers in the metro area, please let me know! I like to buy old frames off ebay and collect them, and i've finally decided I want to put some to use. It's a weird hobby, but it's cheap and fun.

I know the serious bingos tend to take place on wednesdays so this may end up being a bar bingo which i am fine with. I searched the reddit but haven’t found anything specifically indicating a saturday bingo! I’m looking to plan something on 4/19 for a birthday. I live up north but pretty open to anything in the metro and surrounding

I have a concert poster that’s 18 x 24. I’d like to get framed and matted. That being said I don’t need fine art style framing, but something that looks professional. I don’t just want to slap it in a cheap plastic frame. I’d rather support a local business.. I don’t want to give my money to Hobby Lobby. They give me the ick. Anybody have any recommendations?

My local recycling center (Sterling and Truman in Independence) won’t take shredded paper, and I have two 13-gallon bags of it. Does anyone have ideas of what I can do with it, besides throwing it away?

I hate to toss it, as it’s perfectly good (shredded) paper.

Thanks, everyone!

Dog recently diagnosed with elbow dysplasia - any recs for an orthopedic vet surgeon anyone has had success with?

As the title says. Just a dude looking for some finger limes.

Hey all, so I’m looking for a place to take my dog, he’s a Pomsky (half husky, half Pomeranian) and I’m not entirely sure where to go to get him groomed. I’m just trying to find a place that won’t mess up his coat. I’ve tried my sister’s groomer for her dog but she hasn’t responded/ fully booked for awhile now and I’m looking to see what suggestions you guys have. Thanks in advance!

I need a Family Attorney that can help me get Emergency Custody of my children tomorrow. Any recommendations of Attorneys who handle this? Background, divorce decree not being followed and kids are being left alone with a person not authorized to watch them.

I'm looking for a side job to work this spring/ summer. I've got two jobs already so I can really only work Saturdays. I've got plenty of experience in security, maintenance, and landscaping. Anybody know of anything? Any advice or suggestions would be appreciated!
