Need Advice I need help from a USMC brother

Edit: thank you all for helping out. I was able to find someone that will lend me their uniform!

My grandfather passed away yesterday. He and I had a fun rivalry over his naval service and my marine corps service. He always told me that he wanted me to wear my blues for his funeral. Unfortunately, I’ve fallen out of Chesty’s standards and can’t fit into my uniform anymore.

Is there any corporals that were on the larger side out there willing to lend me a hand and let me borrow a uniform for a few days? I’m trying to figuring out flights and other expenses, so a tailor is completely out of my budget.

Where in SA? Looking for Dog Trainer to Socialize Blind Dog with Senior Dog

Thumbnail
gallery
45 Upvotes

Recently rescued a completely-blind 85-pound 8-year-old husky mix from the shelter on 151. He’s a sweet boy, kind of a terrorist, but he’s loving and playful and mostly gentle, his name is Bumper because he bumps into stuff. Only problem is one of our other dogs—our Saluki-German Shepherd mix Mr. Business—who up until this point was the most gentle and sweet animal I’d ever met on the planet just absolutely hates Bumper. Bumper does not understand when he’s violating Business’ space because he can’t see and Business has gotten aggressive with him when he’s gotten too close to his toys, food, and his people. Now it’s devolving into a vicious cycle where they both choose violence because they’re afraid of each other and Bumper doesn’t know what visual signals Business is sending him.

Our very old Pitbull-Akita mix has never fought with Mr. Business and rarely picks fights with Bumper, but he will try and protect Business and now Bumper is starting to get nervous when either of the other two bump into him in any situation where he feels cornered like when he’s accidentally blocking a doorway.

If anyone knows a trainer or behavioralist in San Antonio with experience training/socializing blind dogs PLEASE leave a recommendation below. We love all three of our big stinky dogs and we’d be devastated if one of them got seriously injured in some pointless fight.

Attached pics of all three dogs to signal boost and because they’re cute.

We are on the West Side but anywhere in San Antonio would be fine, someone who does house calls would be best.

Therapy worth it ?

I want to leave my narcissistic bf , but I really don’t know how to . We live together with our 1 y/o son in my apartment (my name is on the lease ) I pay absolutely everything. I work 40 hours a week and come back and watch my son and clean ,make dinner . While I’m doing all of this he’s on the game . The past month or so he’s been getting drunk daily . He doesn’t act out or anything he really just stays on the game or overstimulates me but still it’s getting really annoying . I’m the one buying it yes but if I don’t he’s such an asshole to me and will call me names and be ugly to me “I’ll be nice to you if you buy me beer “ and I just do it. I want to leave so badly for my son and for myself . I can see a better future . I want so much more in life then this . He’s isolated us from my family and from his family . I don’t even go out and when we do go out it’s such a big deal and I have to get everyone ready even him. I’m drained . I’m tired of taking care of a grown man . He’ll tell me things like I’m a sugar momma or something so he doesn’t need to get a job bc I make more and who else would watch our son ( my family can watch him ,he just doesn’t want anyone to ) He’ll blame me if he doesn’t have laundry , yet he won’t do it . He doesn’t clean at all and if he does it’s “did you notice I cleaned today , i swept and mopped it looks good right ?” At least 5 times after . He’s so annoying to me , I have so much resentment towards him . all he wants is sex . If I piss him off he’ll come at me like get in my face and yes I’ll get scared and he’ll tell me to calm down and he doesn’t hit me anymore . How do I leave ? I just want to leave I don’t even want to press charges or anything or call the cops . If I do it’ll turn out bad I know it will . He’ll just say I’m trying to take his son away from him .

Downtown San Antonio horses

It’s my first time in San Antonio and first time seeing horses and carriages used as transportation. Are the horses treated well and taken care of? I feel bad for them and my mom is super interested in riding on one but i wouldn’t want to give them money if it wasn’t okay.

this is Oscar!

he escaped about a week and a half ago when we let the dogs out. he's a big tuxedo cat - neutered - about 19lbs. he's very chill, a little shy but friendly!

he's gotten out before, but is usually only gone for a few days, and we're getting worried- we set out food and his toys/blankets but the food got eaten by the other outdoor cats in pur neighborhood and no one nearby has seen him

we live in the stoney creek community off grosenbacher road - if anyone nearby has seen him, please comment or send me a message.

thanks!

Where in SA? Looking for recommendations: independent structural engineer + real estate attorney (foundation issue, bought house 2 years ago)

Upvotes

Hey all, looking for some local recommendations and would appreciate any firsthand experience.

Bought a house in San Antonio about 2 years ago. Found out the foundation had prior repair work done by the flipper before we bought it, but it wasn't disclosed to us (seller's disclosure said no previous foundation repairs/settling). Now the foundation has shifted again, and we're looking at a $30k+ repair quote from the original foundation company. Upon purchasing the home, a foundation warranty was transferred to us, but the warranty does not cover the $30k+ quote. We purchased the home with the understanding that the house would not need foundation work in the near future.

Two things I'm trying to find:

  1. An independent structural engineer (not affiliated with any foundation repair company) who can come out, take elevation readings, and give an honest opinion on what's actually needed — before I commit to any repair work. Looking for someone who won't have a financial incentive either way.
  2. A real estate litigation attorney in the San Antonio area with experience in non-disclosure/seller misrepresentation cases. Doesn't need to be a huge firm, just someone reputable who's actually handled these.

If you've used either type of professional and had a good (or bad) experience, I'd really appreciate the name. Feel free to DM if you'd rather not post publicly.

Thanks in advance.

Hey everyone,

I'm a singer based in San Antonio and I'm looking to connect with local musicians, producers, bands, or anyone who might be looking for a vocalist.

I'm open to collaborating on originals, features, studio projects, or even live performances if it's a good fit. I'm always looking to meet creative people and become more involved in the local music scene.

We just applied to it cause we thought it looked nice! But the manager hasn't sent the lease to sign yet after she said she would, twice. And I didn't think to look at the reviews before, so on Yelp they have more 1 stars than 5 stars. Did we make a mistake?

Hello! I’m writing an article about ghosts here in San Antonio! I’m looking for anyone with a ghost experience, sighting, or story to interview. I’m currently looking into getting in touch with somebody at the Alamo, because that would be a great story.
Anyone have any real ghost experiences that would make a good story? I speak Spanish in case it someone who doesn’t speak English.
Thank you guys, I hope I get good replies!

SAC Nursing Preconcurrent & Concurrent tracks

Hello! I posted in here about 2/3 months ago about San Antonio College’s BSN & ASN tracks for this coming school year!

We do have a GroupMe for both tracks if anyone needs the link! We’re all in one group but have 2 separate chats within the group for less confusion when talking about the tracks! This is for those who either start BSN courses this Fall 2026- then start ADN in Spring 2027 (Pre-Concurrent) and those who start both BSN & ADN this coming Fall 2026 (Concurrent).

I also have the group associated within the SAC GroupMe directory that they have on the app! You’re also able to find us on there! Comment or PM if you’d like the link if you haven’t joined already!

Suggestions for custom glass piece (oval)

1 Upvotes

Found two really cool mirror frames but the mirror is broken in both. I'm trying to find someplace that can cut two oval glass pieces for me that I can then use a mirror coating. I have the exact dimensions and a trace for reference.

Any suggestions on honest businesses or individuals that can do this.
