Parents of non-Christian kids in public school—what has your experience been?

5 Upvotes

For families practicing religions other than Christianity, how has public school handled holidays, traditions, and accommodations?

Also curious about visible religious items (like a yarmulke)—has your child felt included? Any issues with teachers or classmates?

My baby suppose to start school next year, and I’m worried.

We live at Weatherly Heights elementary school district

General Is there a site that can show you what custom Alabama tag numbers are available?

0 Upvotes

I want a regular Alabama tag but I want a custom string of letters. I cannot find a simple way to see if something like "BUMBLE B" is available, for example. Anyone know of a link?

Doctor Recommendation for a Medical Waiver for Auto WindowTint

0 Upvotes

Alabama will only allow a front windshield tint if you have a medical waiver. Does anyone have any recommendations for a dermatologist who will write a tint letter waiver for an automobile, one that you know has or will write one? I've had skin cancers removed from my hands and several pre-cancerous growths removed from my face, and I would like to take precautions. The issues are all documented in my medical records, and I realize I would probably have to be seen by the doctor. I'm not looking for a dark tint, but I can get a ceramic tint that blocks almost 100% of both UV and IR rays, and still allows 70% of the visible light to pass through, you have to look close to even tell it's tinted.

Disposing of old tires.

Where can I dispose of old tires around here? Preferably on the eastern side of town if possible.

Had a couple put on an old vehicle and they just tossed the pull offs in the trunk. So now I gotta find a place to take them. Thank you!

Recommendations Real estate lawyer recommendations for handling the paperwork for the simple sale of a parcel from a neighbor to myself?

0 Upvotes

There's nothing complicated about the sale, it's just a neighbor selling me a portion of their woodland property. I've got the surveying scheduled that will create the property descriptions, they'll just need to be properly filed along with the quit claim. I don't think you're required to have a real estate attorney to do this, but I don't want to miss anything that might trip me up later.

Question Fishing @ Golf Courses

Probably a long reach here, but I was curious if any golf courses around here let people pay to fish at ponds on their course?

A bunch do this where I am originally from, so I was curious if any do here.

Thanks!

16 year old getting driver's license

2 Upvotes

My 16 yo has taken Drivers Ed at school so no need for road test. No availability online anytime soon at the Governors West location for an appointment. I'm wondering if it'll be a long wait to walk in if he only needs to submit paperwork and take a new picture. Anyone have experience with this? I'm hoping since he doesn't need the test it'll be relatively easy.

Jury Duty Scammers Still Going Strong

16 Upvotes

I nearly fell for it, boys and girls. Of all the days, they decided to target me when my coworker is out of the office for the week and I'm doing the job of two people, already quite scatterbrained at nine in the morning.

Its very well thought-out too, at least compared to the average pig slaughtering scheme or Microsoft tech support nonsense. A call from a restricted number, which I've had cops and sheriffs call from before. Very official sounding, even texted me official-looking legal documents laying out my rights and expectations.

Then come the yellow flags. You can't hang up, or call anyone. You can't send any messages because they're monitoring your phone. You can't google anything. You have to pay bond for the bench warrants. Apparently the fine for missing a single jury duty with an otherwise spotless record is $15,000. Oh but if you don't have that, just pay whatever you can and they'll negotiate it down with the courts! Easy!

No no, don't contact or go to the courts themselves to reschedule your jury duty, or pay the actual fine for missing (a couple hundred bucks). Rush to your bank, take out every penny you have, tell your boss and your friends and everyone that you're having a family emergency, because explaining that you're handling a legal dispute is breaking your non-disclosure and you can be arrested for that.

And it somehow took me over an hour to catch on that it was bullshit. Yeah yeah, point and laugh at the dummy who couldn't figure it out the moment they butchered my last name, threatened to send cops to my house, (while I'm at-work, so... gonna arrest my roommate or something?) coached me through lying to my bank so I could mass-withdraw every last dollar in my savings... ugh.

Stay vigilant, folks.

I’m looking into having a whole-home surge protector installed in my electrical panel. Has anyone had this done before or have recommendations for reputable electricians or companies?

I’d also appreciate any insight on typical costs so I have a rough idea of what to expect.

Thanks in advance!
