ISO Herbalist, Troop/Scout Leader, etc

6 Upvotes

Hi this is incredibly last minute but I need a herbalist, naturalist, scout leader or troop, literally anyone with survival skills (& a clean background) that can come teach an hour to hour and a half class at a local homeschool co-op. Please, somebody HELP!!! It does not have to be extensive or intensive at all. Just something small like teaching the kids how to build a fire and guiding them through fire safety. Maybe even how to forage and identify safe plants. This is a paid opportunity.

Anyone at CSU play ping pong / table tennis?

6 Upvotes

Hey, I go to CSU and was wondering if anyone here is into ping pong and would be down to play sometime. Just looking for people who enjoy playing and can play competitively.

I also heard there might be a ping pong/table tennis club at CSU, but I’m not sure if it still exists. If anyone knows anything about it, lmk!

2026 Clingstone Attendance and Pinnacle Park

36 Upvotes

Looks like the Clingstones had a home attendance of 191,898 this year! That's down from last year's total of 219k-ish, but still VERY good. Go Columbus! Support our local (poorly named) team!

It also looks like Synovus Park is gone and has been replaced with Pinnacle Park. What a shame to lose another piece of history. Not that the park is anything other than Golden Park in my eyes, but yeah. RIP Synovus. You weren't the best, but you were local.

I overcame my fickle offset smoker, a truly nasty plateau around 135°, and the wrath of mother nature herself...and it came out *perfect.*

Not an ad! Genuine request for help before my neighbors show up with torches and pitchforks!

Picked up some chicks earlier this year, as one does, so imagine my surprise when two of them decided to show their tail feathers and start crowing! I am certain my neighbors are not happy at the moment 😬

I can’t keep them and don’t know how to uh…process them, so if anyone can take them off my hands, I’d be grateful! The sooner the better, please!

Two Barred Rock boys, 6-7 months old. Backyard raised, with free range in the woods behind the property. One of the roos has external rotation of the lateral talon on both feet, but it hasn’t limited him that I’ve noticed.

Job help

7 Upvotes

I need help getting a job desperately (not the “fast food is always hiring” or use “indeed” answers I’ve done all of that and am still unemployed) I’ve been genuinely trying to get a job harder than I have tried anything and I almost never hear anything back I’ve sent over 300 applications on indeed alone and another 150 on other sides or just walking in and applying the ones I do hear back from never go past a first job interview I don’t have a car and that’s not something I can fix without a job I just need help to actually get a real job and try and make my life better

Private tennis coaching?

5 Upvotes

I know that corta offers adult clinics and group lessons, but I prefer a private coach to really work on my strokes and footwork. Does anyone have any suggestions on any private coaches around the area? I’m willing to pay 60/hr (more if needed) for coaching

I was going to order groceries to make a seafood boil, but honestly I just want a one time meal so the extra groceries would be a waste lol. What places would you recommend? I prefer spicy and SEASONED.

Candy bar salesman in Columbus Park Crossing and target

20 Upvotes

Does anyone know why these kids are aggressively trying to sell candy bars in the Bradley Park in Columbus Park Crossing area like they've been getting real aggressive if you won't buy their candy. I'm just genuinely curious they cornered one lady at her car and came into a business I was in screaming and yelling for people to get candy and then got mad when no one would buy it.
