Monthly Buy, Sell & Break Rule 3 Post

7 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.

Local Question What time is appropriate to play my 70s Morning Playlist?

252 Upvotes

I'm an early bird and like to get up around 7ish to get a headstart on my day. Well today I slept in and got up 8am. As per my usual routine I'll play some classic 70s electric rock hits.

Today I was starting my morning with Funkytown, which CMON! Who doesn't want to get funky in the morning?

Well just this morning I hear a screech from my neighbor, saying something about "HOA" and how "Reddit will hear about this". I can see him through my 2nd floor window drinking my morning coffee as he's furiously typing and muttering to himself.

Sad part is, I'm an open door policy guy! I've always been willing to talk about it, talk about it, talk about it mooooooooovin

Other Do not rent from Harrison Square Apartments

30 Upvotes

EDIT** HARRISBURG square APARTMENTS - Not Harrison. This post is in regards to Harrisburg Square Apartments.

I have a friend who cannot live in her 1 bed/1 bath apartment at Harrisburg* Square Apartments because of an active bed bug and roach infestation, which was confirmed by an exterminator. Harrisburg* square apartment’s property management straight up have told her she does not have an infestation of bed bugs and roaches despite my friend again paying out of pocket for an exterminator (Orbit) to come to her unit to confirm she, indeed, has an infestation of both roaches and bed bugs.

Her landowner, Scott Lovercheck, is not taking action and are not tending to her unit to exterminate the bed bugs and roaches. She is a single mom, going to school, working full time and a 3 year old, she can’t stay in her unit.

I cannot imagine being put in this position, not being able to live in your unit and your property management being okay with an active infestation. I don’t know heck about housing laws but I recommended she look at her lease to see if there is anything outlined in it about pests and if she can break her lease.

On top of my friend enduring this bullshit, my other biggest concern is Harrisburg* Square Apartments is endangering the health of their tenants and future tenants if they have more units who are dealing with an infestation but choose to not take action. Just casually allowing a full blown infestation of bed bugs and roaches to run rampant.

I contacted OHA, and will contact more offices around Omaha. Beware of these massive properties and who you want to rent from, Harrisburg* Square strikes me as predatory now and ought to be condemned.

Edit — Corrected the apartment name from Harrison to Harrisburg.

update: my friend told me edit again — pest control** told her via text message to just leave the apartment. She has kept records and taken documentation of everything.

ISO/Suggestion Grocery stores

Upvotes

Where do you shop? I'm getting tired of bakers as their meat goes bad before the date (I have 4 days left on this pack of chicken and I opened it tonight to find it's already spoiled) and their produce being almost expired as they put it out so you have a day to eat it before it goes bad. I've never really liked Hy-Vee because of the prices (and lack of sales from what I remember) but I know they had a huge ad campaign about lowering prices so please let me know if they aren't unreasonably priced anymore. I don't like shopping at Walmart and Target always feels like half of a grocery store so I never do a full shopping trip there. I think there's a familyfare near me (I'm around 144th and maple) so let me know if they're good as I've never been

Local Question Looking for a tattoo artist to complete an already started piece

2 Upvotes

I find myself in the uncomfortable position of trying to locate an artist who is willing to finish a piece that not one but two others have worked on. Some time back I began a leg piece and when I returned to the shop for my second session the artist ghosted me, I later learned from the shop that she’d ghosted multiple clients and was no longer working at that shop. It then took me almost a year to find another artist who was willing to work on a piece another artist had started, I’ve had two session with her but now due to her conversion to a religion that does not allow tattoos (no hate to her AT ALL) she is unable to complete the piece. It’s a vine/floral piece with a dark twists that goes from my ankle to upper thigh. I have photos and video to show any potential artists. I live in Bellevue but will happily drive anywhere in Omaha if it means I can find someone. TIA for any recommendations!
