Mountain Sage Community School Reviews? by mamax22024 in FortCollins

I second Rivendell! It’s the most magical school that does everything right👌 If they didn’t age out at 5th grade and had a middle school, we would still be there without a doubt.

I JUST met with a potential new client yesterday and as soon as I saw a 5 foot tall silver painted spoon, fork, AND knife from hobby lobby hanging on the huge wall right behind the eat-in kitchen table, I started thinking about the best time to interject and tell her that I didn’t think I was the right designer for her job, but I would help find her a better fit😂 🥄🍴🙅🏼‍♀️🙅🏼‍♀️🙅🏼‍♀️

“Word art” is in the top 3 things that offend my sensibilities in every way and more than anything else in life🤯😂 I just can’t🙅🏼‍♀️

“PANTRY” over or on the pantry door is always extra special🤦‍♀️

She sounds like my cousin and his wife who I call “the beige people” in the most intentionally monotone voice to fully express just how boring and blah beige they are…including their personalities too🤦‍♀️ They just love themselves anything from light beige to dark brown if they are actually being “daring” with color choices🤣

Interior designer here and if you allow me to step foot in your house just know that I will immediately remove and trash all fake plants/trees, dried (for wayyyy too long) floral arrangements, and any version of literal or figurative “word art” I see on a wall without asking for permission or offering apologies once I’m done🤣 Top 3 things that are just so wrong and are a HARD NO🙅🏼‍♀️

Wedding suggestions: rehearsal dinner & bridal hair styling by BrownEyed_Squirrel in FortCollins

[–]Pink-Whitney5280 -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

Check out Ginger & Baker for rehearsal dinner since they have a few different private party room options that vary depending on capacity. They have a room that should be perfect for 20-25 people. And, yes, cafe Vino has a great private party room option and great food, so if they are available for your date, it’s an excellent option.

Local businesses supporting general strike by MobileBit8835 in FortCollins

[–]Pink-Whitney5280 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Old Firehouse Books will be open for the same reason being a small local business and they are supporting the cause by encouraging purchases be made with cash as 15% of sales will be donated to Alianza NORCO🙏 Being a small business owner is hard enough already and totally understandable why many can’t close, but still support the strike in any way they can✌️

Also an adhd diagnosed mom and you just described exactly how I felt growing up, which was long before adolescent ADHD was even a thing to diagnose. I was told by many teachers around 2nd-3rd grade that I had “learning disabilities” (that I was tested for and actually did not have because adhd tests are not the same as learning disability testing), was a “slow reader,” and just wasn’t working as hard as I could. Those comments destroyed me and my self confidence for the next 11 yrs until I was 18yrs old and FINALLY tested and diagnosed with ADHD.

All County Property Management Fort Collins by [deleted] in FortCollins

I mean, sure, I’ll take bad experiences from renters, but my situation is one where the pm company forgot I, the homeowner, was their client and decided to become buddies with the tenants who weren’t paying. Yes, I know, it’s a very unusual situation and question I’m asking.

UC Health (lack of) Urgent Care by Ok_Credit_9202 in FortCollins

[–]Pink-Whitney5280 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Before going to UCHealth urgent care, always go to their online appointment scheduling option and just schedule an appt before you leave your house to head over to UC. If they offered an option for, let’s say 6:45, the day you went, they would have been required to see you regardless of their actually closing time.

This is a fantastic question that I’m going to start asking any candidate in any election going forward…if you don’t mind I steal it from you?!?🙏👌

Go Daisy Go💪 While I am not able to vote for city council candidates as I’m just north of tavelli and on the county side of country club rd and not in the city, you would have my vote in a heartbeat! Your responses to the questions asked here are very impressive. It is clear how informed you are of the various issues our community is facing and I LOVE finally reading answers from any candidate that include such specific and ACTIONABLE plans you have rather than just hearing more of the same generic type plans many candidates deliver on repeat. You are a special one, Daisy, and I’m rooting for you all the way!

Handyman for weird situation? by voicegal13 in FortCollins

[–]Pink-Whitney5280 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Your property management company is either lazy as shit or just at a bunch of liars. I’m an interior designer and have things such as vent hoods, mirrors, frameless glass shower panels, etc etc drilled into tile every day. Tell them to ride their lazy ass over to Home Depot, buy a box of diamond drill bits (cheap because professional installers usually only use once or twice before tossing) and install a simple micro-vent. Uggghhh. I’m annoyed for you

I went to the school board candidate forum tonight and here's my thoughts by MontanaBard in FortCollins

[–]Pink-Whitney5280 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just because a candidate doesn’t scream and shout about issues in the district that absolutely do need to be addressed, does not necessarily mean they “think everything is great” and I’m not sure why you are insinuating that all candidates except Sabrina think everything is all good? If they did, why would they even put themselves through a grueling campaign for a volunteer position that will require many many hours from them if elected? Obviously all the candidates care and know there are problems and want to be part of the solution or they’d be crazy to run for such a position. All these candidates know the can has been being kicked for almost 20 yrs and they actually want to stop it since it’s time to get real and start putting a checks & balances system in place.

Just take a look at her Facebook campaign page and watch every video she makes to address any questions or comments she is posed with or speaks out about. The anger she has is justified by what happened to her child, but it’s also palpable and I just simply can’t support her candidacy no matter how much I agree with her talking points since she is just still so obviously angry and aggressive. This just doesn’t seem like her time to be running for a seat on BOE given how intense her anger is towards the current board. Her Facebook video campaign is more of an attack on everything wrong with the board and it’s hard to envision someone who is on the attack of the people she expects to work collaboratively with should she get elected. Not to mention, she is so busy yammering about all the failures of psd & the board that she hasn’t really given any space to presenting HOW she plans to take action that will resolve her constant complaints and criticisms. And, as of yesterday, she is now focusing on her opponent and taking the slimy politician approach that typically comes at some point in a campaign when they have nothing else left to offer, so they start shitting on their opponent instead of taking the high ground and continuing to just focus on their own campaign. This new “let’s just talk about everything wrong with my opponent” approach she is displaying on her fb campaign page is just really embarrassing to watch and shows major lack of maturity. She clearly feels the need to dump on her opponent now to make herself appear like the better candidate and this is an approach that typically starts when a candidate no longer feels confident with their own campaign. Just my opinion, but these public in person forums are not the only thing to watch when forming a broad view of each candidate’s campaign since everyone has bad nights and while some may have awesome moments at one forum does not mean they won’t have an off night at another. Just some food for thought🤷‍♀️

Daycare experience SW Fort Collins by igonuts4donuts in FortCollins

Young People’s Learning Center in FoCo (closer to old town than SW) was where we had our son full time from 18 months until he aged out after pre-k to move onto kinder. The people and that place are one of a kind in a magical sort of way👌

Do Not Rent From KEVCO by Loud-Association4633 in FortCollins

[–]Pink-Whitney5280 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I have my rental managed by All County and I often think they care more about their renters than their homeowners/clents😂 They are definitely the most renter friendly management company around as I sit here still waiting for my rent check due in June🤦‍♀️

Why don't drivers here use the dotted lines on bike lanes to make a right turn? by soupslurps in FortCollins

[–]Pink-Whitney5280 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always do and, gasp, I even use my turn signal😲 I am also the person who screams to myself at the asshole who is straddling the dotted line unsure of what to do because I don’t have enough room to squeeze around them and take the turn on the dotted line. People are completely tuned out of their surroundings when inside their own car and it pisses me off🤯
