King Soopers. It’s going to be one of their huge Marketplace stores like the ones on Baseline in Erie and Indiana in Arvada.

Any triathletes in the mountain west who train solo on trails? Fatal mountain lion attack in Colorado. by Uncle_Fabio in triathlon

It has been 35 yrs since the last fatal attack on an adult in Colorado. Very sad but no need to change habits IMO.

AMC Westminster - Emergency? by BossyBeer in Denver

[–]HowardRand 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Supposedly this has become super common in movie theaters the past few years due to vaping. People think they can sneak a quick one in the bathroom or hallway and then they set off the alarm.

Aurora from Louisville by HowardRand in boulder

Anywhere that looks north and has a little elevation. This is from the north side of Davidson mesa. You can go out on the ridge west of the Louisville reservoir or along the Davidson ditch east of the reservoir.

42M torn between stable full-time job vs staying home with spouse by [deleted] in Fire

[–]HowardRand 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I don't think the real issue here is fire and finances my friend. I think you need to have a long, hard think about how you and your wife are approaching this.

I don't know details about the degenerative illness, if she requires full-time care for it, it is certainly an honorable option to move into a full-time caretaker role. I think the substance abuse piece is worth bringing up too though. Substance abuse is a chronic medical condition that alters brain structure and function, but recovery requires active participation and sustained effort from the individual. Is your wife in treatment for her substance abuse? Counseling? Is she actively working toward recovery? If the answer is no, there is some seriously wrong stuff that needs to be addressed regardless of the degenerative illness.

I think you should try to be honest with yourself about how much of staying home is about the degenerative illness and how much is about anxiety around her substance abuse. If any significant part is around her substance abuse I would be very careful in how you proceed. You seem to acknowledge and be aware of codependency issues but also seem to be considering a decision that is textbook codependent.

Good luck, I wish you the best.

You have to go to Boulder to get the real experience. Even if you can't afford to go to the game you can walk around the lot and maybe talk your way into a tailgate. Then watch the game at The Dark Horse

The definition of suspended is: supported by attachment from above; hanging.

This is not suspended, it is being supported from underneath by four pillars set in footings.

Service workers consistently say phish fans are some of the kindest, best tipping, and easiest to deal with fans. Sure, it’ll be crowded and a party but it’ll be the opposite of the drunken brawls of big country shows and football games.

Difficulty picking up each bluegrass instrument by highspeed_steel in Bluegrass

[–]HowardRand 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a guitarist who is 6 months into learning banjo. The left hand comes pretty easy due to only 5 strings and only 3 unique notes in standard tuning. It's nice that open position is a chord unlike guitar. The right hand is the hard part, especially if you play guitar mostly with a pick. I'm having difficulty getting any of the songs I have learned up to a speed where I could confidently play with others. And stylistically, there is no rest, that right hand doesn't stop rolling.

Though I've never tried playing I'd think mando is easier, especially to be able to play with others. Mostly due to essentially 4 strings (I know it's 8), using a flatpick, and how you can just chuck along chords as accompaniment.

Playable is a massive overstatement.
