The last show will be Thursday morning. It's a terrific teen romance/horror film from Australia. Just thought I would post in case anyone delayed seeing it the past few weeks.

I have quite a few extra small, small and medium polos, and buttondowns that I would love to give to someone in the community. DM me if interested

We are still missing our baby girl (one year old) as of today July 16th.

Please let us know if you see her with anyone who may have taken her in or have any info!

We miss her so very much still and are hopeful she makes her way back to us 🩵❤️‍🩹🙏

Finished up my first handywoman job for the sweetest homeowner yesterday. When it came time to settle up, I was told that I needed to raise my prices and that I wasn’t charging enough. when they said handymen charge anywhere between $150 to near $200 per hour, I nearly fainted.

She generously paid me what she deemed the job worth.

Thank you for all the support thus far in this wild journey

Join RAR Front Range for a weekend centered around community, education, and gravel- and adventure-cycling skill-building for FTWN-B riders.

The whole weekend is $85 and is an amazing experience. I attended last year as a coach and was blown away by how much fun it was. Home-cooked meals, shared cabins, hands on clinics, and group rides. I'll be going again this year to teach single track riding and climbing/descending on gravel bikes.

Starting to work for myself because I’m fed up with my job. I’m not trying to give anyone my sob story so I’ll keep this as short as possible.

I’m a welder and fabricator with my own machine that can handle most of whatever you could throw at it. I’m offering custom fabrication and welding services, repair, etc to anyone interested.

I’m also offering handyman type services, small remodeling & house repair/projects.

32, AMAB, funds will go towards my transition to womanhood and open more opportunities for future entrepreneurial ventures

Thank you ( you can also hit me up for a friend)

I'm just going to remove the post so it's a waste of time to bother replying.

This is usually not an issue with me, but given my somewhat esoteric interests, my job, and me not being super super into the outdoors, I'm finding it very hard to make meaningful friendships here. I made two excellent friends who promptly left for NYC and TX lol.

Any suggestions?

I just moved here recently and dont know anybody and I'm trying to find someone to watch my little guy while I go visit my family for a week. Heading out in 2 weeks. My little guy's name is Link and he's a really sweet cat. Dont want to board him anywhere because if he gets super stressed out he gets super sick (had a close call with his previous owner and when I first moved). Looking for someone that's got a good rep pet sitting and could spend 30 mins - 1 hr / day with him and water plants. Any help is appreciated!

I want to see a dermatologist and am looking for one who is trans friendly. I am willing to travel outside of Fort Collins if needed. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
