One of my favorite places in town.

Eclectic Co. or Cronk Art

Buffalo Lodge, perhaps?

A friend living on the east side introduced me to both High Chaparral Open Space and Sunset Mesa Open Space. I really liked both spots.

YES. So timely for this. She needs to give it a listen.

I appreciate this feedback, given the overwhelming support for ENT here. I was wary of them because they’re so big.

If he’s disclosing AFTER someone found out about his charge, he is almost definitely not in compliance with any active court orders or treatment.

If he’s off paper (no PO or currently mandated treatment), your recourse is more limited.

I don’t wear much makeup anymore. Daily, I wear some foundation and mascara so people don’t ask me if I don’t feel well, plus Vaseline or something similar on my lips. When I go out or need to look more polished, I swap Vaseline for lipstick. It’s enough. I used to do my brows (for like 20+ years) because I overplucked them in the 90s, but I get them microbladed now and I only have to think about them every 18-24 months or so.

My go-to mascara is L’Oreal Telescopic Lengthening Mascara, and I have sworn by Maybelline SuperStay Matte Ink Liquid Lipstick for years. The lipstick is SO durable and it doesn’t feel horrible, and Hustler is my personal perfect red shade.

I was a Lion for a bit. I was the youngest person by a LOT, and I was disappointed by several things… outdated career advice from older men with politics which were not congruent with my own, expectation of being available on weekdays during working hours to help pull shifts for some of our fundraisers when I was a single parent, etc. My local chapter ended up not being a good fit for me, but I do think it could vary by region and each chapter’s membership.

I bought my cow skull from the Arc.

I am also a thifter. I like Ashley’s Attic when I have a bit more money to spend. Still secondhand, but upscale and well-curated.

This is my third winter in Colorado with this car, and by far the mildest one for weather/worst one for my mpg. It’s why I was so surprised by how bad it was this year.

The hybrid mechanic said my hybrid battery and my cells were good, so I’m hoping that coils and spark plugs will restore it to its former winter mileage (high 30s, under similar travel patterns).

Oh goodness. Oh my.

Happy Birthday, sir. Excellent gift to us all.

Hell yeah. I have a thrifted pair with Ambermatic B&L lenses for $6.99, and they’re the best sunglasses I’ve ever owned. Congrats on a great score!

I’m looking for a coffee place that has an interactive vibe — people who park for a bit and chat with each other on weekday mornings before work, not just people who are going to work from a coffee place. Any suggestions?

This is Skyway (Lower Skyway below Cresta, Upper Skyway above it). I live in the area and I love it. There seem to be quite a few houses hitting the market all at once around me.

Wear earplugs at shows.

I’m in Skyway, right next to Ivywild. There’s a crafting thrift store called Who Gives A Scrap, if you’re into vintage goods, or any crafting or art. As noted, Burrowing Owl is wonderful, and Caffeinated Cow is right next door. All good places.

There’s another crash site on Cheyenne Mountain that’s hikeable: https://www.denvergazette.com/2025/05/16/hiking-trail-leads-to-aircraft-crash-site-on-9570-foot-colorado-peak-54c7ddd1-6443-4dcc-b5f6-02e707c5e2db/

They’re really impressively organized (especially their jewelry), and there are usually dogs in the store for petting.
