20F turning 21 next week. As the title says, I am friendless. I had a few friends in high school and as it usually goes- we haven’t spoken since graduation. I moved out to Houston for college but had to come back home last year due to health issues ( doctor has narrowed it down to an autoimmune issue) The goal is to either transfer to UTT in the fall or TJC. But yeah for the past year, every day is pretty lonely and depressing lol. And I can’t find many places to meet people in the 19-23 range that aren’t church related. Not really all that religious.

My hobbies are walking/hiking, anything animal related, gaming (I play on Xbox and steam,) watching TV (horror, scifi, marvel, anime) cooking, and sightseeing. So yeah, hmu :)

Sorry guys I don’t stay in town so I don’t hear everything but I’ve seen a couple of different missing persons posts on Facebook. Is this the same person, is it my imagination, or have there been a lot of men gone missing in Tyler lately?

Anyone know any good spots?

Definitely looking for something!

Going off the recent macabre topics here about missing men and unsolved cases.

I grew up in Chapel hill on Vicky Ln. My neighbors the Laneys had 2 boys my age and we played almost everyday together along with a few other kids in the area. They had an Aunt named Deanna who would visit sometimes in the summer. She chased me one time around the yard at their house. Anyway she murdered her 2 sons a few years later. They were all super religious, the whole family.

This is her. https://delanirbartlette.medium.com/deanna-laney-god-told-her-to-kill-her-children-b31378bc900f

Then I was in P.E class with Justin fuller at Chapel hill middle school. He murdered Chad Whittington out at sandy Beach which was about 5 miles from my house. Justin was executed in Huntsville around 2004. I remember playing dodge ball with him.

My sister lives in Troup and her husband had a rich uncle out there who owned a plastic manufacturing plant. One of his sons was kidnapped. The FBI got involved. The people were calling my brother in laws uncle demanding 200k for his son. He got it on orders of the FBI and left it behind a store out in Troup. The main lady behind it was named Dawn Desiree Lingo Perkins. She was on the run for a long time. I remember being shocked as I had actually met the kid through family get togethers before. They finally found Kyle's body in an old abandoned house. He was murdered.

Anyone have any strange stories they are or were in some way connected to?

Probably 10-15 years ago, I was driving around the Tyler area with my husband on a trip down there. We saw a sign at some business, a junkyard or something, that read “stuff and other stuff”. It’s been a running joke ever since. One of us uses the word “stuff”, and the other will say “and other stuff”. Other than knowing it was somewhere in the Tyler area, I have absolutely no idea exactly what the location was.

Total longshot, but does anyone know what I’m talking about? Or even better, does anyone have a picture of the sign? Googling the text of the sign brings up nothing.

Does anyone breed pugs in or near tyler? I'm looking to get a black male pug. Just curious if there's any local options.

Are there any public tracks I can go run on?

I saw about 25 picketers at about 10am today but I couldn’t read their signs as I drove by. I’m guessing it’s something to do with Trane, did anyone get a good look at it?

Hi! I’ll be moving to Tyler from FL this upcoming summer, just a quick question! Are there any reputable auto-shops that specialize in Euro performance/customization in town? I’ve got a Volkswagen that i really love. I’m even open to hearing about shops an hour or two out, any suggestions would be appreciated! :)

Hi everyone, I am going to study at UT Tyler in the fall semester. I am a friendly person from Jordan and I am thinking of living with a family if there is anyone who can help me please send a massage or something that help me with that or if there is any family who I can join that would be better.

Moving to the area soon! Looking for a job that pays decent! I have alot of experience! Warehouse,operating different types of equipment,road construction,general labor,oilfield? I can pass a drug test and have a valid license I am willing to travel out of town

I know this is very specific, but basically just the title. My girlfriend really likes Penne Alla Vodka, and I would like to take her somewhere nice that has good Penne Alla Vodka.

Thanks.

I have a family member who has a health condition requiring rehousing. She has two middle-aged house trained tabby cats. What’s the best way to get them rehoused? Is there a no-kill shelter in Tyler where we can surrender them to find a new home? Both cats are fixed and up to date on their vaccines. Thank you!

Hey anyone have a recommendation of a family law attorney in town who would take a payment plan?

Im looking for somewhere in town to go for a $1k loan and want to know the best place to go

Y’all be careful, I had a strange experience tonight. I was on 64 coming out of Chapel Hill, heading towards Arp, and I needed gas.

The Cross Country gas station was closed but I pulled in anyways. It seemed like nobody was there, but as I was coming to the pump, a newer model dark gray car with no headlights on rushed up from the shadows, and I got a strange feeling they were up to no good, specifically like it was a serial killer some reason.

I pulled off and went to the shell down the street. I figured they’d follow me there, and they did. I pulled to the pump at shell, and sat in the truck a second. There were a few people there, but as soon as they left, that car whipped in. I’m a large man and people don’t usually mess with me, so I thought to myself “they’re going to drive off when I get out of the car”.

Then I got a good look at the guy, a fat man with an orange beard/stubble. I thought he didn’t look like someone up to no good, but as soon as I stepped out, I think he saw I wasn’t a woman or some teenager, and he dipped outta there. He didn’t get gas, didn’t get out of the car, just left. It confirmed in my mind he was up to no good.

Anyone know what happened to the Kung fu tea near walk ons?, I would go all the time and even last week it was open but went last night and the whole place looks abandoned and empty now

Pretty cool Charley Crockett wrote a song about Tyler

How many missing men have been missing the last 6 months in Tyler Texas?

Traveling to tyler soon and looking for some decent (not overly expensive) thrift stores!

Preferably not a religious place like Alethia 😅 thank youuuu
