In Home Euthanasia Tonight

3 Upvotes

My cat is in his final stages and I always promised he wouldn’t be euthanized at the vet. I always wanted him to go out with dignity in a place he was comfortable and familiar with at home. I’ve called many places but they are closed. That’s why I’m looking for any vets out here that can do this for us tonight, at this late hour. We are willing to pay but ultimately we just want our cat to be at home when he goes out.

Please let me know if you can or know anyone that can.

Looking to rent a place in Parker or Lonetree, any suggestions?

3 Upvotes

Looking for 2bed apartments.

My AMI is $49.995 before taxes and deductions.

Credit score is in the 700s.

No past evictions. No debt. Just a guy and his pigeons looking to live in a house free from cats and vapes. Any suggestions? 😔

My roommates cats are driving me insane.

The entire house is full of cat piss, the sink is perpetually filled with stinky dishes, they eat my food, and I still have to do their dishes even though I barely even eat 800 calories in a day.

Any time I try to meal prep, they just assume it's dinner for them too no matter how many times I try to set boundaries.

I'm losing my mind staying trapped in a 10' x 10' everything room.

It's my bedroom.

My office.

My workroom.

My craft room.

My storage room.

My bird room for my 3 birds.

My pantry with my little mini fridge because they keep eating my freaking food even when I tell them not to.

I'm so tired of being trapped in an "everything room" while the rest of the 2bedroom condo is overrun by cats and everyone else is too tired to clean.

Ever since I quit cleaning the house is just a dump.

The AC broke because they have FOUR cats and nobody EVER vacuums the carpet besides me, and they never change the filter. So I just paid $475 out of my own pocket to fix their HVAC system.

And one of them keeps vaping and can't be assed to open the goddamn sliding door two feet away from their computer chair to air it out, so I'm sure the vapes are just wonderful for their cats and my birds.
I'm losing my mind

Please send help. Please send apartment or townhouse recommendations. 😭

Awning for house

0 Upvotes

I live in the Highlands and my west facing patio is unusable from June through September. The sun hits the sliding glass door and heats up my whole downstairs. Need a retractable awning or some type of shade before summer rolls around again.

I am looking at three options right now.

First is Liberty Home Products. They are local and manufacture their stuff in Denver. Steel frames, commercial grade fabric, and they install themselves. Looks solid but I have no idea what their pricing looks like.

Second is Amazon. I can get a manual crank awning for under 800 bucks. Brands like Outsunny or ALEKO. Big risk on quality but at that price I could replace it every few years and still come out ahead. Problem is installation. I would have to mount it myself or hire a handyman.

Third is Custom Shade Outfitters out of Golden. They do welded aluminum frames and Sunbrella fabric. Completely custom build to your exact measurements. I got a rough quote over the phone for a 10 foot awning and they said somewhere around 3200 installed. That is a lot damn. What are your suggestions?

Denver-area moms: would you help with a short anonymous survey about time for yourself?

0 Upvotes

Denver-area moms, I’d really appreciate your help with a short research survey.

I’m trying to better understand how moms find time for themselves, what makes taking a meaningful break easier or harder, and what they realistically value or spend money on when they do get time away from their usual responsibilities.

The survey is anonymous, takes about 6–8 minutes, and there’s nothing being sold. I’m especially looking for honest answers, including from moms who rarely take time away or wouldn’t normally pay for something like this.

Survey: https://forms.gle/4QatWbhM4Ct4QBN97

If you’re a mom in the Denver metro area, I’d be grateful for your perspective. Thanks for helping with the research.

Does anyone who uses Cobblestone Car Wash have issues with their automatic membership renewals—specifically, receiving a renewal text without being told what the new monthly membership rate will be?

I’m curious if others have experienced this.

Wildlife Sightings

5 Upvotes

The news has been reporting a record number of encounters with wildlife, including bears and mountain lions, due in part to the recent wildfires and drought conditions. As we enter fall, animals will become more aggressive as they build their fat reserves to survive winter.

Here are some tips on keeping wildlife out of your yard and who to call if you come in contact with a wild animal: https://livewelldougco.com/living-with-wildlife-safety-tips-for-douglas-county-residents/

Mobile autobody scam

Post image
13 Upvotes

Hello! I recently got some work done on my car by a mobile repair guy I met in Boulder and the work looked good at the time the color was iffy and when I asked about it he said it'll lighten up and if it doesn't to give him a call and he'd fix it for free. Long story short it didn't lighten up and I tried multiple times to get in touch with him but kept getting vague answers or just ghosted until finally the number stopped working and said it was no longer in service. I made the mistake of paying in cash as I was just excited to get my car fixed and now have no way of getting my money back or finding this guy. So I was wondering if anyone has heard of him, he said he was based out of Parker. This card is all the information I have on him, if anyone has any info please let me know or at least warn others not to go to him.

need friends

12 Upvotes

does anyone have any ideas for places to go to meet people and make friends? i’ve been thinking about trying bars or places like that lately since i feel like that might be more my crowd.

i’m 22, and i’ve kind of come to the realization that i don’t really have any friends outside of people i know online. :/ honestly, i’m going through a bit of a crisis about it right now. i want to have people who actually ask me to hang out or hit me up and say, “hey, are you free today?” instead of feeling like i’m always alone.

so if anyone has any suggestions for places to go, activities, or ways to actually meet people around my age, i’d really appreciate it.

(posted this on a burner so no one knows where im from on my main account)
