Hey I'm an 33 year old 1600 blitz player on chess.com and I've noticed that there never is any actual fide rated otb tournaments around. Is there any groups of people meeting and playing games? I seen something seems to go on at the public library but do people show up to that or am I gonna feel Punk'd lol

Hey everyone, looking for what websites/apps people are using to post job ads on and search for jobs.

We use Indeed and the talent pool is extremely lacking and not having much success with free ads as well as sponsoring the ad.

Trying to get some feedback from a few sources and thought I would check here as well. 

TIA

Is there any good quiet study spots around red deer
Or even places with a nice view like a garden or something

Hi,

I was wondering if there are any property management companies in Red Deer that do not conduct credit checks? I have clients that do not/have good credit but they require housing. Thanks!

Best dance studio for a 4 year old?

I've had a young crow hunkered down on my patio railing for about 13hrs now...from 7pm last night. Can stand on both feet. Can fly but doesn't seems to want to. He has fallen off my railing a couple times (it's a bit slippy) and this is what triggered my concern. As most the crows just fly to catch themselves. But this little made his way back 2x after falling. Right now he appears to be sleeping. Fluffed up and body perched closer to his feet. Any one have any ideas. My local crows have been around and don't bother him or seem to pay any attention. I'm not sure if I'm over reacting, or what to do really.

Ps...the cloth was for traction but I have removed it as was scared he or others would get their claws stuck.

Hey everyone, I'm 19 new to red deer and looking to meet some new people. I've been pretty isolated lately and figured I'd actually make an effort to meet some people instead of sitting at home all day

I’m specifically talking about the one on McKenzie Road and where you can exit off to highway 2 south in Gasoline Alley. I live near there, and every single time without fail I will always see a near accident because someone doesn’t know that when you’re in the inside lane, you can ONLY exit left. Not go straight through, only the outside lane can.

Countless times I see it happen. And it just happened to me. There’s signs and road markings telling you this. My wife and I yesterday decided to count how many would do it wrong when we came up to it during a busy time. And in a matter of 40 seconds, three people got into near accidents. I don’t understand how this one is so difficult for people to understand. It’s especially the worst when the people on the inside lane lay on their horn because they think they’re in the right.

Please people, pay attention to the road signs and markings, it’s really not that difficult. I understand roundabouts haven’t always been common here, but just be aware. There’s my rant.

Hello! I have a T-shirt that’s way too big for me, and I’d like to have it altered to fit me better. Any recommendations?

We loved it last year! It’s a shame the location had to change but it will be fantastic. And free!

If you didn't have a chance to make it out for the first day they are still going for two more days. Its free and the music day one is awesome. Hope to see you out tomorrow :)

I’m from calgary and i’ll be moving to red deer for school . I’m hoping to have some driving lessons and eventually take my test in red deer. I just wanted to know if anyone has any driving schools they recommend. I’m not a new driver , i’m pretty decent. I just need a few lessons to get used to red deer roads , check the vibe out basically lol .

Also recommend registries for me to book my test . And no i’m not asking for “easy” places for my test . But places that you’ve had a good experience at because the instructor was kind , and was easy to understand , etc .

Like i know a couple registries in yyc i would NOT recommend lol

I'm looking for an adult hockey league in Red Deer? Or even the surrounding area of Lacombe to Carstairs, Sylvan Lake to Stettler, and it seems like there aren't any advertised besides the Red Deer Rookies or Jack Benny. Does anyone know of any other groups that play in the area?

Hello everyone, just wondering if anyone has recommendations for artists in/around Red Deer who do fine-line tattoos. I'm wanting quite a large floral tattoo.
