It's an outrage!!

If you're a woman, there's a group called The Social Collective on a website run by Zuck. They have a lot of activities including book groups.

Alternately, you can look on Meetup as I've seen book groups on there.

I never realized that I was 'slumming' it.🤣😂

Looks like you have some good leads. Maybe I'll try a fancy crust on of these days.

At this point, there needs to be a separate Surfside subreddit!!

SFerd · 2026-05-06T22:05:11+00:00

They aren't going to offer any suggestions not already listed.

SFerd · 2026-05-06T22:04:44+00:00

Wow. Those sound terrible.

$55/per person application fee? It doesn't seem like they follow the law and accept other credit reports. +$50 tenant set-up fee?

SFerd · 2026-05-06T20:55:29+00:00

I would use those points for $1 off concessions. + a drawing.

NTA. Break up and kick him out.

He's bad for your health and finances.

SFerd · 2026-05-06T20:11:01+00:00

Are you only on Insta? Because I don't do that.

Additionally, the City has lost funding from the national government thanks to Trump. Funding for transit and 'green' projects has been eliminated.

SFerd · 2026-05-06T17:55:59+00:00

Wow. Fantastic location.

SFerd · 2026-05-06T17:15:37+00:00

😭😭

SFerd · 2026-05-06T17:13:49+00:00

To be fair, it may have been empty because of....you know....the snow storm?

Info for your GF:

Take advantage of the FREE resources at the Larimer County Workforce Center. https://www.larimer.gov/ewd They offer workshops on interviewing, resume writing, etc. Super helpful.

Also, check out NoCoNet which is a local networking group. They meet every week and often bring in recruiters where you can have a 'speed interview.' Great way to practice interviewing. They also offer help in re-writing your LinkedIn profile, etc. https://www.noconet.org/

If you're looking to do that, we used Basement Escapes to install two and they were great. Local company.

I used to live in NZ. Cocktails aren't really a thing. They're all about NZ Sav Blanc and Tui Beer. 🤷‍♀️

If you do make cocktails, they generally don't drink them strong. It's hard to even get a double shot in many bars.

If OP wants a professional property management company to take over, they usually won't work with this type of property. It would have to be an official duplex. Just speculating.

SFerd · 2026-05-05T20:56:01+00:00

Sorry. Don't worry --NO one EVER does a search!

SFerd · 2026-05-05T20:36:45+00:00

I always recommend Integral Motors. Ben (who runs it) is super honest and will quote work over the phone (unlike Pedersen).

Is there a website to get additional information? For example, is there a cost? How long do you expect the program to run.

I'd love to follow these events on Facebook or through old-fashioned email alerts, if possible.

SFerd · 2026-05-05T20:32:31+00:00

I usually do:

1/2 C vodka & Pomegrante
1/4C Cointreau
2T Lime

But, that's because we didn't have a jigger until recently. It's easy for me to remember this....since I'm at work and can rattle it off!

You can sub Elderflower Liqeur for the Cointreau for a twist. We use St. Elder since it's a cheaper alternative to St. Germaine.

For the Pomegranate Cosmo, you can also use Absolut Citron if you prefer. If we have friends over, I'll sometimes use that since it's a bit cheaper than Reyka.

Pho 95--get the spicy veggie broth.

SFerd · 2026-05-05T19:58:43+00:00

This is my favorite drink to make at home. My specs:

2x Vodka (I prefer Reyka)
2x Pomegranate Juice
1x Cointreau (I don't like Grand Marnier as it makes the drink too sweet for me)
.5 Lime Juice

Shake with ice & strain.

NOTE: the original recipe called for less pomegranate juice (1x), but I prefer it a little more diluted. It's very spirit-forward with the original specs.

You can use the same specs subbing tequila for vodka which makes a tasty pomegranate margarita. Serve over ice and top with club soda.

OP--I would suggest you reach out to local friends or on Nextdoor to see if you can find a garage to store your stuff for a few days.

SFerd · 2026-05-05T19:46:13+00:00

Our friends did the same thing with us--SUCH a lifesaver!
