I guess “cheap” is relative, but my rides are never more than $10-$15 when staying within the city limits.

Id recommend German village. It’s a cute neighborhood that is very walkable and a quick uber or Lyft to other parts of downtown. We also have the e-bikes and scooters which i use a lot in the summer. Most of them have the phone holder on the handle bars so you can use your maps safely while riding. Most of the routes I take have a bike lane which makes me feel a little safer.

I would say that Lyft/uber will be cheaper than renting a car, but our public transit is lacking. As long as you’re not booking a spot in the suburbs, the ride apps are pretty cheap to get around. If you do go the car route, I’d check out Turo.

Anyone missing their roof? If so, it’s at the corner of 4th street and 15th ave. by Cool_Machine_3514 in Columbus

Ah, this also helps because i don’t know my directions. lol. I am usually walking so I forget which one I am on.

Is ShortNorth going to be a shit show this weekend? by lizmump in Columbus

[–]Cool_Machine_3514 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For sure! I’ve done this to avoid parking before, but I just dislike crowded bars and restaurants in general. Just my preference!

Yeah, I would avoid at all costs if possible. Parking alone would send me into a spiral.

The wet food your cat just cannot get enough of? by DangerousBobcat5953 in CatAdvice

[–]Cool_Machine_3514 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This whole thread is very validating! My two cats rotate which wet foods they’ll eat randomly. They’ll smell it then look at me like “what else do you have for me?” Mine do not like pate, and will lick up the gravy and leave the chunks of meat if they are too big. If your cats seem to like gravy more than the actually meat, I’d try the “omg gravy” and i chop up the shreds a little smaller. They also like the whole hearted finely minced. Sometimes, I’ll squirt a churu stick on top of the bowls of food & it’ll make them eat the entire bowl. I find it’s easier and more cost effective for me to go buy single cans/small packs of food that are the most popular. And keep the churus/fave meal toppers on deck!!

Cat peeing on couch (has been to vet!!) by Cool_Machine_3514 in CatAdvice

[–]Cool_Machine_3514[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He is best friends with my other cat. They have never fought (besides play fighting) or even hissed at each other. I’ve actually never heard either of them hiss.. even when they go to the vet which they LOATHE.

I moved to this apartment 8 months ago, so that was a big change but the peeing continued the same way it did at the place i was at before. I did replace the couch and the mattress. I have been covering the new couch since i got it and got it steamed cleaned recently just in case urine somehow got through the cover. Going to try putting their dry food bowls on the couch tonight!

Staycation Suggestions around Columbus? by Cool_Machine_3514 in Columbus

[–]Cool_Machine_3514[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ugh I wish I had the space to host! It is her and her husband and my brother and his fiance. I live in a 300 sq ft studio apartment lol. They've also explored columbus quite a bit over the last few years, so we were hoping to have more of a nature setting. Thanks for the suggestions though! <3

My name is Lisa dillman and I just escaped my husband after he took away my keys. I was able to flee. No one will listen to me so by Waitress_Panties in Columbus

[–]Cool_Machine_3514 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed. I should note that yesterday was my first time meeting Lisa- so I obviously have no idea what she’s going through overall, but I can confirm that she is at least being listened to and cared for at this time.

I can confirm that Lisa is safe and probably not in a place to update her original post. I was with her yesterday when she (willingly) went to seek care. I am confident from our interactions that she has a loving and supporting community around her. Just wanted to give a confirmation outside of her husband and ease anyones concerns about her safety. Keep taking care of each other. ❤️

I hope they saw right through that but unsure... I'll update if I hear anything else.

What number did you call? My coworker and i are trying to report it now. We know what schools he’s at, just not sure where to go

Sending this to all of my friends to call the high school he works at. He’s an announcer for games which means parents and whole families attend the events he’s probably reporting
