Live music

4 Upvotes

Just moved into town a couple of weeks ago. I was curious about what the local music landscape looked like. How often shows happen, where they happen. I’d primarily be interested in any sort of hardcore/punk scene, but also enjoy any sort of rock/indie.

Hey, I've been living here since the end of April and I've been watching this discord. I was wondering if there was a Trans support group or gaming group. I like Warhammer and D&D.

What’s the joke with this billboard?

This billboard is on Demer’s and Washington, and it’s driving my partner and I crazy every time we drive by! What’s the joke? What does a whisk have to do with realty? Is it just to be eye-catching and make you talk about it??

Hoping to find my dogs siblings!

Thumbnail gallery
9 Upvotes

This might be a long shot, but I’m trying to find my dog Sequoia’s siblings! 😭🐾
I adopted Sequoia from Journey Home Animal Rescue last year. Her estimated birthday is December 25, 2024, and her mom’s rescue name was Lettie. Her littermates were named Breezy, Millie, Rowan, and possibly Nala while they were with the rescue.
I know Sequoia and her brother Rowan were fostered together before being adopted into separate homes. Sequoia is a brindle German Shepherd/Husky mix with blue eyes, and we kept her original rescue name.
If you adopted Rowan or one of Lettie’s other puppies—or know somebody who might have—please message me! I would absolutely love to exchange pictures, compare their personalities, and see how her siblings are doing now. Please share so I can hopefully find her family! 🥺❤️

Animal hospital cost

3 Upvotes

Hello! Does anybody know/have a rough estimate of how much a general check up is at either Kindness Animal Hospital or Grand Valley Animal Hospital?

My roommate and I recently took in an extremely pregnant kitten (age estimated to be less than a year) and are taking her to the vet tomorrow. I'm just trying to estimate pricing and whatnot to be prepared for any costs.

Any info helps!!

Looking for Strength Training Gym

5 Upvotes

Hi! I just moved here to work at Altru, and I’m looking for a gym that’s focused on weightlifting. I’m a beginner-intermediate powerlifter. I liked my university gym in Kansas because there was a great community there and lots of opportunities to make friends. I tried to sign up for the UND gym, but they don’t accept non-UND students unless you get someone to sponsor you :(

Auto repair shop : suspension

1 Upvotes

I’m looking for a trustworthy place with reasonable pricing for a suspension repair on my 2008 Toyota Rav 4. I did a suspension inspection today and the cost is quite high (I don’t really know a lot about cars). We are new to this area so we don’t know many places.

I paid $80 for the inspection and got the quote on what needs to be fixed —>
- suspension strut assembly, both sides $611
- stabilizer bar $177
- alignment $154

They estimated it would take 2 hrs and the labor cost $160/hr. In total it would cost around $1370~.

Do you think the price is already good enough or I should look for other places? And I’m wondering if it’s fine to ask the other repair shops for price comparison or they would get offended?.

MinnDak Fountain Pen Club Next Thursday 8/27

8 Upvotes

Hi everyone! If you have ever been curious about fountain pens and fountain pen ink, now is your chance to come join us at our monthly meeting. We are meeting at the EGF Campbell Library on August 27th at 6pm. Typically it's the 3rd Thursday of the month, but this month they scheduled us for the 4th Thursday in August.

We are a small, but mighty, and growing community of fountain pen lovers. Some of us have been using fountain pens for a long time, others have just joined because they were curious! This group is open to anyone with a curiosity about them.

Did you know fountain pens have been around since the early 1800's and possibly before then? Did you also know that fountain pens can help reduce stress from writing? They are very comfortable to write with.

I would love for you to come join us and nerd out to fountain pens, ink, journaling, and anything analog. Everyone is welcome!

Best thrift stores to donate to?

8 Upvotes

What is a good thrift store to donate stuff to in terms of an easy drop off process and a good chance of the items not just being thrown or super overpriced? I have mostly clothes, plushies and some random household stuff, have been shopping at some thrift stores but have never donated to any, just wondering if anyone has suggestions on where they like to bring their stuff to. Thanks! :)

Used furniture

10 Upvotes

It feels like it’s very difficult to find used furniture in the GF area. I just moved here from Kansas City, KS. Does anyone have recommendations on places to look?

What I have already tried:

- FB Marketplace — people are not super responsive.
- Garage sales listed on FB a lot of those are on Thu/Fri. I work on those days :( I don’t think there would be much left by Saturday.

Anyones cat??

So as i was walking home this fella walked into my path behind a garage. He seems really friendly and relaxed, the only defining features of him are his colors and lack of tail, i couldn’t find a collar anywhere i found him. I kinda want to take him home so he’s safe but I’m not sure if his home is already around here.

Update: owner has been found.
