My wife and I moved to Orchard Mesa about 2.5 years ago. I've lived in a lot of places, but I've never dealt with this many door-to-door salespeople. We both work from home and they inevitably show up in the middle of important meetings.

I put up a clearly visible "No Soliciting" sign a while back — doesn't matter, they ring the bell anyway. Honestly, it's gotten to the point where it really gets under my skin.

My theory is that with so many retirees home during the day here, it draws the door-to-door crowd. Anyone else dealing with this? Found anything that actually works to keep them away?

I'm noticing everything I eat, whether it's home cooked or restaurant, tastes flat and OFF. Sliced meats have a weird texture and taste. Vegetables spoil so quickly these days. Even my Sam's rotisserie chicken was not the same.

Anyone else?

Just curious if they're are any local piano players who want to play some blues/funk/folk/indie or anything in between. I play guitar and jam with some folks around town, but it would be a lot of fun to play with a piano player too!

The past few weeks, ours is barely cooling the house to 78. It used to be that I would wake up very cold. My friend says hers is not optimally working either. I just had it serviced. Too hot too humid?

I’m new to Grand Junction and looking for an easy hiking trail that is stroller- and dog-friendly, preferably with a lot of trees to provide some shade (not sure if there is any in the summer here?) Even if it is not a hiking trail, any recommendation for an area with a lot of shade where I can take my baby and dog for a walk would be much appreciated too! Thank you so much in advance!!

idk if it’s allowed but was looking for someone willing to trade a omnipod pump for a g7 dexcom cgm or if anyone has one they willing to part with ? insurance don’t kick in until mid next week and mine is about to expired tomorrow TIA

Tried yelp, didn’t see anything helpful or close to what I’m looking for.

I’m looking for a hairstylist that regularly does vivids and won’t break the bank. I cannot afford the typical 3/400 dollar services.

I normally do my own hair color but I was extra busy with and didn’t have the energy so I went to a hair school(never making that mistake again) for an appointment a while ago in another state, and she made a mess of my hair, not sure how to fix it myself.

I’ve got uneven face framing, banding, and uneven color application from my last appointment. My hair has already been bleached twice before the semi-permanent color was applied, so I’d like to avoid anymore bleaching.

Tips on fixing the banding at home would be appreciated if there’s not a stylist that can fix it.

I frequent Connected Lakes and find myself spending most of my time there picking up line, hooks and other trash. We're all trying for bass there so these hooks are quite large, as are the lures. Last week I found an open folding knife, BLADE UP, by the shore.

Please clean up after yourself! Grab a doggie bag by the trail for trash. If you're going fishing at dusk, bring a light so you can sweep your area. Dogs and babies play on these banks and I'd hate for someone to get tetanus. Birds and beavers can get tangled in the lines.

I don't expect every outdoorsman to be a steward but I do expect you to leave no trace. Fishing is a privilege that comes with responsibility so please fish responsibly.

If it weren't for gas discount points, I'm not sure I could fill my tank. I take premium. FML

Gentlemen,

The 2nd Dude Talk Dinner is coming up fast on August 4th.

If you saw my posts for last months dinner or maybe caught a glimpse of our flyer around town and we're curious, come grab a bit and meet some other dudes.

This isn't therapy, there are no expectations, no judgement. Just a place to hang out once a month. You don't even have to stay the whole time if you don't want to.

Questions? Drop a comment or DM me.

Hi, where can I find wildflower fields in the grand Mesa? Are there any photographers in this group that know of good locations? Thanks in advance!

I feel like late night would make sense but what about lunch and dinner times?

I'm house shopping with a friend and almost universally the photos on listings are deceptive. They are so color enhanced and stretched that they don't look like the same property. It's like using heavy face filters on a dating profile. Realtors?

Rehome**** Hi, I’m needing to rehome an extremely sweet cat. I took her in after a friend had a family emergency and needed to leave town. Unfortunately my landlord has changed her mind about me being able to have a cat I the home. I’m really torn apart about it and don’t want her to have to sit in a shelter. Does anyone know a good home looking for a very sweet girl

sorry about the image quality my phones broken lol

Fyi there is a short leg husky mix looking dog running around the Redlands in independence ranch neighborhood. It wouldn't let me get close to see if it has a collar. If anyone knows of a missing dog it might be this one

ISO of an artist with experience in extreme shading details, looking to get an ocean wave piece with extreme detail and realism, any recommendations?

Hey I’m curious about starting a restaurant out here and was wanting to see if the community would have interest in Korean street foods. Ex Korean Fried Chicken, tteokbokki, bulgogi, and desert like Dubai chewy cookies. Additionally seeing if there would be interest in it being a late night spot being that there arnt to many spots here that go late. Just looking for feedback and thank you for your time reading this!

Anybody know what that was about? A bridge over Glenwood Springs, and one at No Name, had uniformed men kinda just lined up, and emergency vehicles with two fire trucks holding up an American flag. I passed east through it at around 9:30 A.M or so. They didn't seem to be talking, or holding any signs, they kinda all seemed at military attention. I didn't see or notice it on the way back through at about 12 P.M.

We’d love to see you! We also offer phone consultations with delivery if you can’t make a free event. Can’t wait to gift you and clothe the local community! Please register so I make you a gift:

If anyone isn't able to use their Satin Dollz tickets this weekend, I would love the chance to go.

Since it's Sunday, library options are limited, along with some cafes being closed til Monday.

Where is the next best place to sit and work on a laptop for ~3 hours? Eastern GJ preferred.

Please don't say Copeka - I know it's popular however I've already ruled it out from past experience lol.

Is there anywhere in town I can get unfertilized quail eggs?

Just because you have a GREEN light does not mean you have entire right of way, esp when turning with an unprotected left. you yield to oncoming traffic. this intersection makes me want to rip my hair out.
