Take the kids to a brewery that’ll be fun 😐

I’ve searched google, scoured through some YouTube compilations of Live PD and COPS episodes, and also searched the town of Blythewood local newspaper archives “the voice” and still nothing.

Looking for a Live PD episode from Blythewood, SC around 2018-2019Open

Hi there — I’ve been searching every corner of the internet that I can, trying to find an episode of COPS or Live PD (fairly certain it’s Live PD) that was filmed in the parking lot of the IGA grocery store & strip mall in Blythewood, South Carolina (Richland county). If I recall correctly, they’re doing a bust on 2 people and sift through their vehicle and it’s daylight.

I found it years ago when a video link was spread by my coworkers (we worked in the strip mall), but have since lost it & cannot remember where I was able to watch it. If you can find it that would be awesome & help me relive some … questionable memories lol

Don’t do Jim Speedy either while you’re at it (rented from both Tickle & Jim Speedy). He never responds to texts/calls, does minimal effort repair (slathers caulk over leaky pipes that remain leaking, I had rats in my walls and he dropped off an expired ziplock bag of rat poison powder told me to “stick it in the walls”??, shower stopped working “did you unscrew the shower head?” Just so much bullshit). Then proceeds to get an attitude with you when you call him on his crap even politely he’ll have a major attitude and refuse to continue trying to solve your issue (stops responding/blocks your number). Thank god I just ended my lease with him bc he was a NIGHTMAREEEEEEEEE let me tell you.

My lights in the kitchen stopped working ~5 months into my lease, his response “buy a lamp”. The built in AC stopped working, “you don’t need it, it’s always had problems, the local stores sell window units” like bro.

Bro how did you do that in 4 hours???? I’m seriously impressed man fr you made that route your bitch 🙏

This is in part what ended my relationship…my gf who was my very best friend for years began to smoke so much she’d go through a cart a day on top of bong rips, edibles, etc. and I really really missed the person she was who I loved when she wasn’t high—but it became clear I had to leave when she refused to acknowledge her real issue with being so dependent on weed to cope with anything and everything

Bro I had that kinda route on a Saturday by the mf mall and businesses then headed out rural later in the route 😣 I’m off today but damn brother

Just don’t go to Dr. Jeffrey Alberts because the receptionist always has an attitude and treats you like you’re a problem. Also, they treat you like you’re rich if you don’t have Medicaid (absolutely NO hate to Medicaid at all) and instead have an insurance plan like Cigna, Aetna, etc (I don’t know what to call those so I apologize— private insurance?). Like I’m definitely not rich by a long shot— I was young enough to be on my parent’s insurance but I made 16k a year lol and was on my own for every other bill, lived independently since 18.

He seemed to be very condescending imo and I always wanted to cry during the visits. But the receptionist SUCKS and always hassled me as if I had tons of money simply bc I had private insurance. I typically paid in the ballpark of 300$ for a visit that would accomplish practically nothing…

4 hours late…we didn’t get on the road until 3:30 and got to my first stop at 4💀 came back with 45 stops

I’m sorry to hear about your family’s kitty…I’m glad that you’re trying to make the time she has left the best!! I’m not trying to give advice at all bc I am not a vet or anything but my little man loved fresh fish towards the end — I would get him nova lox on his birthday every year from a local Jewish bakery and they’d always say “tell Sam happy birthday”! When I began to come in over and over…I think they knew and just never charged me after a while for the little scoop of nova lox. I hope you can get her some delicious snacks, spend time together, and give her all the pets and cuddles!!! Also—19 years old is super impressive for a kitty!! You guys must have taken amazing care of her all these years :’)

Aaa you almost are making me cry reading your response !! I am really sorry to hear about your loss as well; losing our pets is such a nightmare in a lot of ways and I hope that you’ve been able to find moments of comfort and peace to remember the good memories of your dog. I’m not great at Reddit but if you’d like to talk, send dog pics, or anything my PMs are open!

Like I try to do one good thing and there’s always someone telling me why I’m doing it wrong, as if I’m not smart nor know how to use the right judgement.

Just leave me alone. You’ve convinced me to take this down. Sorry for trying to be a good person. Sorry for trying to do something nice for my cats memory.

Noooo buddy don’t do it; I literally had a similar thing happen to me the other day (found on Indeed) and while the company name was different, it sounds really really similar. After I thought about it, I just declined their calls.

As I stated multiple times - only if you are able to provide the pet with proper resources and care. Not if you just want a pet and slap 100$. If the adoption fee/starting out is slightly over budget or you need help with your existing pet, but you’re working on your situation. I don’t know why you guys are being rude and belittling me for this kind gesture in the memory of my cat. Clearly I understand your concerns but you don’t have to be a jerk and act like you know so much better. Not the right place man like for real I’m just trying to mourn my friend and send some kindness in the world and you’re just acting like pricks.

Had me throwing up just looking at that image

I called the shelter in SC where I originally adopted him from, and they told me that they cannot take monetary donations due to their administrative rules. I would have gone and bought food/toys but I live like 14 hours away. They redirected me to a organization’s website that works closely with their shelter but can take monetary donations, but I really want it to go directly to someone rather than get tossed into a government void.

The animal shelters by me are nice and it’s a lovely idea that I have considered for the future, but for his 1 year passing, I really want to give back to my childhood hometown if I had to donate directly to a shelter. And that’s how I ended up here, is because if I can’t donate directly to someone there, I’d like to pass it on in hopes that an individual actually gets the direct funds instead of being tossed into a website void.

Wow — that is actually a really good idea about the volunteer adoption counselor position! I am working a lot and currently am in the process of moving jobs, so while rn I might not have the time, I will definitely keep this in my pocket as an idea! And your animal friends seem really cool; it’s like Noah’s Ark of homies

I am so sorry to hear about your family & son’s loss 💔. I can definitely sympathize with your son unfortunately with bullying; and I know that our animal companions can make things so much better, so whatever happens, I hope that your son is able to find a new buddy soon and find peace. I am trying to figure out what to do rn but I will get back to you soon!! Again, I hope you and your son are able to have a calm evening together remembering the good times and love shared with your little hedgehog friend 🪷

If you/your kid wants a pet, I’ll cover some of the cost in memory of my boyOFFER

I’m not sure if this is the right way to go about this, but I would like to directly help somebody out rather than send money into a government void.

I lost my best friend, Sam, who was the sweetest little cat you could have ever met. He was a warrior. I took him home when I was in 1st grade as a baby; he was born 14 June 2008. I was I think 7 years old. We lived in Columbia, South Carolina until I was 18 and moved without knowing anyone or anything to Rochester, NY. He was my only friend for a long time and was my little buddy during a lot of things. I don’t know what I would have done or become without the love and silent support of my buddy for almost 15 years.

The worst day of my life was 27 April 2023. I had to watch him die, I had to make the decision to euthanize him, and he died of renal failure (I also have kidney disease so it really hit in a special kind of hurt). I feel a part of me died with him.

He was an amazing creature and I want to pass the love and joy of having a little kitty onto someone else. If you have the time, space, and resources for a cat but need help acquiring/adopting a cat, I would like to offer 100$ to help cover adoption fees and expenses. Only if you can provide the cat a good life.

Im going to take priority for kids / families with kids, because I would love to know that Sam’s life and impact would be passed on to another kid in need of a loving pet to grow alongside, but I’m 100% open to anyone as long as you can provide the necessary support and care but just need help covering initial fees.

If you have any cat-related expenses, let me know and I’ll give consideration to your need as well even if it isn’t direct adoption fees I just want to give a kitty the opportunity to have a good life bottom line. I prefer to help with adoptions but if it benefits a cat I’m happy. It just depends on how many people reach out; I’ve never done this before.

Thanks for reading!
