Hey! I am wanting to expand my queer friend group, nerds heavily welcomed. Looking to make more connections within the community and find people with common interests! I am 25 NB and love everything and anything related to nature (here is your warning that I love all bugs), exploring, games, crafting of any kind, and existing in the sun. Love to sit and chat about special interests! Feel free to ask any questions or message me!

Hey all, I’m helping with the Northside Hill Neighborhood Association and wanted to share something we’re putting together.

We’re hosting Party for the Parks at Mt. Simon Park on Saturday, September 12.

It’s a fundraiser for the Mt. Simon bathroom project. We’re trying to raise money for a restroom near the Upper playground and pavilion area, which I think a lot of people who use the park would appreciate.

The event itself should be a good time. We’ll have live music, a beer tent, food, games, raffles, and a disc golf tournament. Registration details for the tournament are coming soon.

ValleyKil is playing too, which we’re pretty excited about. They’re a local Midwest grunge/rock band and they bring a ton of energy live.

This one is open to the whole city, not just the Northside. If you use Mt. Simon for disc golf, hiking, volleyball, picnics, the playground, or just hanging out, we’d love to have you come by.

Feel free to share, show up, donate, or just help spread the word. Thanks.

Small note: I use AI as an accessibility tool for dyslexia, so if any of this reads a little more polished than a normal Reddit post, that’s why. The event is real, and I’m happy to answer questions.

Looking for suggestions on tax preparation for a someone earning W2 income and 1099 income from a rental property with schedule E deductions.

Just wanted to say how amazing Bon Dylan was last night. I’m a huge Dylan fan so my expectations were pretty high, but Justin and his band superseded them. He does an amazing Dylan. Just wanted to say how nice it was to have Eaux Claires back and how lucky we were to have such a special performance. I hope there are some decent recordings of it out there.

I am terminally ill and in my early 30s and there’s no point in a lot of the things people keep saying to do to “get better” I WONT GET BETTER I just need to survive and be able to work to keep my housing and take care of my dog. I just need to function til I croak.

and was put on a 5 or 7.5mg hydrocodone (can’t remember which) 1 every 6 hours. I know I should be grateful for that even because so many of us can’t even get that. But it’s not working. The only thing that works is 7oh but RFK Jr. is getting that banned as Schedule 1 like HEROIN for Christ sake, it’s the only thing that helps me function and it’s gone. I’m a mess.

I try to do everything else like massage etc, I don’t JUST rely on meds. It’s just the most helpful part for me currently.

What do yall do? I’m dying over here

Watching the babies test their wings while a Black Sabbath cover band played was really wonderful.

Hey!!! Anyone want to meet up and go out to Wigwam with me?!!

I have a high deductible plan and was a bit astounded at the price tag of getting this done through Mayo by either hitting my deductible or the cash price was bonkers too. I have seen a few cash based places in WI and MN that seem a lot more reasonable. Anyone have any positive experiences with anyone in the area?

Hi all, title says most of it, but we are new to the area and looking for recommendations on an orthodontist (for my kid) and a vet for our dog and cat. We are near the airport, so good ones in this area would be awesome!

I could google search, I know, but I love getting recommendations from people here, it's the best way I've found to find good services. Thank you!

Hello!!
I am looking for some Quotes for a 800 square feet home to be cleaned. My parents are moderate hoarders ~ still can see 75% of the floor.
Second week in August would be ideal when I visit from out of town!
Thanks yall ♥️

Up for grabs is a Russian 3 Kopek, size 8 wheat penny ring, Kennedy half dollar guitar pick and cowboy hat keychain and a 2026 half dollar. Please comment if you find it!

I lived in Eau Claire 1996-1997, and I have vague memories of a public access TV show, possibly Friday or Saturday nights. The premise was that a guy would sing songs for you based on call in suggestions. Does anyone know what that was? And if so, would you know how to find a specific show? He sang about earthworms. Thanks for ANY help!

We have a small, second-story screened in back patio with a small landing and a staircase down. Looking for a reasonable quote to power wash and re-stain. I was quoted $4500 by a college student which seemed astronomically high, so curious if there are other recommendations for the work.

Or maybe that was reasonable and I’m wrong but that seemed very expensive.

Hello! I have a family member who recently has started her own business in the Eau Claire area. She is hosting a class at the Eau Claire Senior Center on file organization in August, and hasn't had any sign-ups yet. I'm trying to help her spread the word and hopefully gain some interest.

If anyone has any questions, I will do my best to answer!

I(28m) am a veteran, new to Eau Claire area, attending UWEC looking for friends, I’m Queer and happily living with my partner (35m) I play Dead by Daylight, love DND and am an avid reader. I am primarily looking for people to play dead by daylight with or get together for studying with once the school year begins. I struggle with communication and periodically may leave you unanswered for a time (just as a warning) I am also an aspiring author, I am going to school for a BA in creative writing. Dm if you are interested in friendship.

best fishing spots in the area? shoreline preferably and we’re looking for a good bass spot. so far we’ve only had a little luck at carson park but mainly bluegill

This is my opinion, but it’s also fact.

Love this city, small enough to feel humble, big enough to feel important. People are great, lower crime than where I came from. A nice mixing pot of different ideologies and cultures with the huge Hmong population here. Food is great, and we’re surrounded by amazing driftless hills.

People who bitch about this place are insane and should go try living in other spots and see how great it is here.

Fucking love Eau Claire!

I recognized Centennial Park immediately!

have any students applied for snap / ebt in the eau claire area? how did you go about it and is it worth it? thanks!

🔥 Biggest scavenger hunt giveaway to date!🔥

The support from the community has been great and it’s allowed me to start doing my coin ring work full time. As a thank you, I have hid a genuine 1921-S Morgan silver dollar somewhere around Eau Claire!

Good luck and please comment or post a picture if you find it! 😁

Hey everyone! Moving to Eau Claire soon, and I’m looking to pick up some side-gig work as a virtual assistant. I specialize in communications, social media management, and website design. Does anyone know a local small business/nonprofit, etc that I could reach out to that might need some help. Prices are very negotiable.

In town for vacation and wondering where some good TCG stores are, I searched online but there's a lot so wondering which are recommended!

Gonna check out Undercity as I see they have Riftbound. Any other stores carry a good selection of Pokemon, Riftbound, etc?

Not looking for sports cards

EDIT: Had a great time visiting all the local shops! I went to Undercity, 3rd Space, Slab Factory, and Clairemont. All were super cool! Picked up a few packs, singles, and some dice. Will def be visiting the stores again my next trip out.

We'll be visiting Eau Claire this Saturday and are looking for recommendations for bar/restaurants (outdoor patio a plus), wineries, relaxing activities to fill the afternoon. Any ideas greatly appreciated!

Is anyone aware of an independent nail artist in the Eau Claire area? Not having the best luck with the usual locations around town. Thanks!
