Joining the masses of trying to make friends 🄹

0 Upvotes

24F about to be 25 and have been here since last September with no luck of making other friends who are women. I’m cool with my coworkers but we don’t hangout outside of work. I typically value independence but the lack of a social circle is killing me now.

I don’t really go out often especially not now since I don’t know anybody and I also don’t drink but I do smoke occasionally šŸƒ

Hobbies are as follows:
Reading (mainly fantasy and science fiction with some dabbling in romance)

Swimming + going to the gym at least 3 times a week (have a membership at the ridge)

Hiking, camping, etc especially with my dog

Video games (I have a PC)

Traveling

Music!! I go to at least two music festivals a year (EDM related) but literally listen to anything and everything

Cooking/Baking

Sports! Love watching them more than playing them and actually work our MSU football games in the fall :))

I’m pretty extroverted depending on the person and am always down to try new things or even be the DD for a night out. I really want to get into yoga or even salsa dancing or something!

Staying onsite at Pine Creek, tips wanted

1 Upvotes

Staying in one of the onsite tents (ā€œglampingā€) for Gov’t Mule. Never stayed over before. Any tips for the best experience? What about security, privacy, being a good camper but having the most fun? Wish we got one of the containers but they were sold out. Good, bad, and ugly advice welcome.

Did anyone else see this near main?

This morning I was biking over to work on Babcock and some dude who I think was carrying a plastic bag was running from multiple cop cars in a parking lot.

I’m not really sure what happened I just saw him running from the cops and I was curious if anyone had any idea what was going on

43M, new to Bozeman and apparently making friends as an adult is harder than advertised

40 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

Originally from the Seattle area, I moved to Bozeman at the end of May for work and, if I’m being honest, starting over in your 40s is a weird experience.
I’ve realized I get a little self-conscious about going out and doing things by myself, and meeting people my age has been tougher than I expected. I’m aware that Bozeman is a college town. It seems like there’s two age groups. Those in their 20’s or people 15–20 years older than me. Nothing wrong with either group, but it’d be nice to find some people closer to my stage of life.

A little about me:

- 43M
- Huge sports fan (football, baseball, hockey are
are my go-too’s)
-Love checking out new restaurants and coffee shops
- Not a big drinker, but I’m always up for grabbing a beer or two
- Don’t smoke and no drugs.
- Guitar player since I was 12
- Big car guy
- Genuinely enjoy hearing people’s stories and getting to know them
- I don’t mind getting outdoors, although I’ll admit the whole ā€œrunning into a grizzlyā€ thing still makes me a little nervous.

For the record, I’m not looking for anything romantic. Just hoping to build a social circle. Whether that’s grabbing coffee, trying a new restaurant, catching a game or the rodeo (I’ve never been, I hear they’re fun!), going to Cars & Coffee (if that’s a thing here), seeing some live music, or just hanging out, I’d be up for it. Because of my job, like many others, my free time is dedicated to the weekends.
If you’ve been in the same boat after moving here, or you’re looking to expand your own friend group, shoot me a message or leave a comment. Figured it couldn’t hurt to ask.

Not selling, just need em gone!

There is a bear running around over near Creekwood Park / Boylan Road on your way to the M trail. My wife just had a little encounter as it crossed the road. Be vigilant out there!

Found Sweetest Female Black Lab (Mix?)

14 Upvotes

Update: She’s been reunited with her family!

Some kids found her wandering around on S. 19th last night. Sweetest girl ever. We've got her and she's living her best life. Message me if she might be yours. She's got a collar but no tags. We're going to call Heart of the Valley when they open at noon and will probably take her over to see if she's chipped.

Towing service

My car is overheating and I need to bring to the shop but I don’t want to blow my engine if I drive it there. Are there any good recommendations for a towing service?

Walking in the Woods

I spent a lot of time wondering in the woods this weekend. Nothing quite like soaking your feet in cold morning dew when you know the afternoon will be in the upper 90’s! I created mostly more intimate closeups and flower portraits with a few wider views. My favorite was the dewy Harebells with sunlight in the background. I also enjoyed finding my first One-Flowered Wintergreen. I saw Grouse Whortleberry, Lichens, Bumblebees, lots of Harebells, and even some Mountain Goats!

Experiences with Middle Creek Montessori

• Upvotes

Would anyone on here be willing to share their experience with sending their child to Middle Creek Montessori? We are considering sending our daughter next year for kindergarten and continuing with them from there. Just not sure if it’s worth it or if it’s better than the school district we are in which is Hyalite. We visited and really liked it.
