hi, as someone that doesn’t have any family or anywhere to go this holiday season, i was wondering if there are some kind of community friendsgiving events happening on or around Thanksgiving that have room for 1 more? thank you (-:

My beloved street dogs have turned against me. Market rate for a street dog (those delicious bacon wrapped ones) is $10. Outside tracks this weekend, everything looked normal when I purchased my dog. It looked like I was purchasing one at $10, but was actually charged $60!! Terrible when something you love hurts you 😭💔 be ware my fellow street dog lovers!!

Easy to walk past this.

I was at Park Meadows mall today and I was in total shock after going there today...and the reason is......DIVERSITY!!!! I was SO happy to see many people and families from different ethnicities happily doing holiday shopping. Diversity is something that Denver has been historically absolutely lacking, but it looks like things are starting to change! Just wanted to share, and happy to see if any others have noticed the change as well.

I'm hosting 7 people for Thanksgiving and was considering ordering the premade holiday meal from King Soopers. Has anybody tried it? How was it? Have you ordered from elsewhere before?

I have a 100+ year old mandolin that was passed down to me by my grandma. I would love to have it repaired to playing condition, but at the very least would like to make sure it is in a good enough condition to be displayed and eventually passed down to my kid.

Does anyone have recs on a luthier in town that I could contact? Thanks!

Have been disappointed in bigger companies and hoping to get referrals for individual cleaners who are reliable and effective. Any leads would be appreciated!

If you're coming north on I225 just beware of a closure past Colfax.

Saw it was closed as we were coming back from DIA and people were diverted to the frontage road. I couldn't see what closed it down. Anyone know?

Anyone know of any facilities ANYWHERE in CO that take health first Medicaid and are specific to mental health and not substance abuse? I have bipolar 2 disorder and need long term care.

The last of my family made it home around 11pm last night. What a mess the last few days have been.

I'm browsing through meetup and I noticed that a lot of the hiking/outdoorsy groups tend to be on the slower side, either explicitly or imply that they are. As a fast hiker who at a certain point just can't force themselves to be slow anymore, is there a better way to find a buddy other than go to different meetup events and hope to eventually stumble upon someone that matches my pace by luck?

YONNAS -- if you don't know you better ask somebody. Mark your calendars.

Hi! Headed to El Five this week for happy hour but not wanting to drop the $ on dinner there. Any close-ish recommendations for a more affordable dinner?

Hi!

Please give me your recommendations for hair stylists (even separate color and cut is fine) who do either or both of the above, well! So many stylists do cool-tone blonde or make highlights look vastly different each time, and I appreciate consistency. I also want a good cut with shaggy layers (possibly razor cut).

I would love to find someone (or two artists) near Lone Tree, Centennial, or Greenwood Village who doesn't cost a fortune.

Thank you!

I'm 39, and I want to go back to playing basketball. It would be awesome if I could join a team to practice and play with.

I live in North Denver. Thanks in advance.

I saw this posted in a mom’s group. Does anyone know who could help this duck?? I could try to go out and get it tomorrow but not sure what to do with it.

Trailgrove apartments denver
Roaches in the unit upon move in day. Broken refrigerator and kitchen drawers have gone without any updates for 3 weeks. Staff is NOT helpful and blatantly ignored emails reaching out about the issues. There is an odor that never goes away. Good budget apartment but it is not clean or sanitary in any way. Kitchen is just an entire mess. To top it off we originally thought we would be getting a renovated unit , upon touring day our unit was not available and we were informed we were getting an un renovated unit (which means there’s 20 coats of paint on the kitchen drawers and cabinets, bathroom, trim is not lined properly on the floor, foam spray all around the kitchen) I am overall extremely disappointed in this building and complex with its upkeep and its effort to make sure it’s tenants are satisfied.

I have been diagnosed with CPTSD. There is no cure. I am not able to get care in Colorado. Does Colorado have any end of life services for chronic disorders that cannot be cured? Or do I have to go to Canada to start that process?

I lived in Colorado for 7 years then moved shortly after COVID restrictions ended for two years.

Since returning about two years ago I've noticed a deep culture of mockery. I will get into an elevator and some people who I have never seen before will laugh in my face.

In highlands ranch this is especially prevelant. With scoffing and laughing usually after someone has passed me and is behind me in places like grocery stores.

It doesn't matter what I wear.

I'm currently interpreting this as racism.

What's the deal?

Should I be aggressive, intimidating, or verbally insult these people or what?

so i’m kind of shouting into the void here but looking for recommendations in denver for…

I (29F) am wanting to go out for my 30th bday to a strip club with some friends - girls and guys - dressed up like reality tv stars. yes it’s probably cringe. yes i think it’ll be fun. i’m wondering a) are we going to piss anybody off - workers or guests - by doing this? is it going to come off disrespectful? i just wanna have fun, shake ass, and tip some girls. most of us will be first timers. how much should we plan to tip and spend? and b) is there anywhere in denver that fits this vibe?

thanks!

I have a long coat and i want to get some faux fur sewn onto the collar. I looked online but I only find tailors that only do alterations for weddings or events. Anyone have any recommendations for this?

Hi everyone!
My husband and I are planning to start trying for a baby, and I’m already trying to figure out how insurance will work when the baby is born. It is a very confusing process as a non citizen coming from a country with universal healthcare so I am trying to really understand everything before trying.

I have BCBS through my employer, and my husband has Kaiser KP Select through his. Ideally, we’d like to add our baby to my insurance because it’s cheaper and offers better coverage.

HOWEVER, from what I’ve read, Colorado requires newborns to be automatically covered under their parents’ insurance for the first 30/31 days after birth, even if they haven’t been formally enrolled yet.
There’s also the birthday rule, which generally means that if a child is covered under both parents’ plans, the insurance of the parent whose birthday comes first in the calendar year is primary.
In our case, that would be my husband’s Kaiser insurance.

Here’s where I’m confused.
I’ve called both BCBS and Kaiser, and representatives from BOTH companies told me that the baby’s primary insurance would automatically be mine because I’m the mother giving birth.
When I mentioned the birthday rule and the automatic newborn coverage period, they insisted that it wasn’t true??
I asked both companies if they could provide that information in writing, but neither could.
I’m honestly surprised because what they’re telling me seems to contradict what I’ve read in the insurance documents.

My biggest concern is the hospital. There’s a hospital I’d really like to deliver at that’s in-networking with my BCBS plan but out-of-network with my husband’s Kaiser plan.
I’m now considering choosing a hospital that’s in-network with both plans just for peace of mind.

Has anyone in Colorado dealt with this situation?

Thanks!

Everything ground to a halt right around 7:30. Anyone know what happened?
