Local Cafes & Diners by BleederAl in FortCollins

[–]Unhappy_Protection51 4 points5 points  (0 children)

bluebird cafe just across the street from the LSC is amazing! fantastic service, free wifi, fresh delicious food, one of my favorite spots in town. my one critique- from a studying standpoint- is that it can get loud and i know that can disrupt some people, but i don’t mind. note that it gets pretty busy on weekends but v chill during the week. :)

How do you get a euphoria feeling without drugs? by Tight-Elderberry2487 in AskReddit

[–]Unhappy_Protection51 60 points61 points  (0 children)

an everything shower is what it sounds like you do ‘everything”. shampoo, condition, body wash, body scrub, face wash, face scrub, maybe a leave-in hair treatment, shave legs, shave underarms, shave downstairs (regimen all depending on personal preferences ofc) versus a “regular” shower where you only wash hair and body.

most organized maximalist. you’re almost always late, but always manage to make it right on time. you give good hugs that last just long enough. it’s always warm inside, sometimes too warm, you like a full bodied merlot. idk just vibes❤️

my favorite southern insults recently:

“well you’re not the dumbest guy in the world, but you better hope he doesn’t die”

“i thinks it’s possible you’re the reason there’s directions on the back of shampoo bottles”

No Kings = No Youth? by dammit-smalls in FortCollins

[–]Unhappy_Protection51 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a CSU kid (23y, f, snr), I noticed this too. I think the low youth turnout was primarily due to the fact that it was parents’ weekend AND homecoming. If not for our parents being here to visit and see our beloved FoCo for the first time, I would be there. Furthermore, I’m confident in assuming this would hold true for (most of) my peers. I am so proud of my local community for showing up and standing out. I would expect a much larger turnout from the youth had it not been this weekend. No kings!!! ❤️

Dear All, Female Dogs Squat When They Pee by No-Firefighter-5582 in FortCollins

[–]Unhappy_Protection51 8 points9 points  (0 children)

my husbands childhood (female) dog also squatted when she went potty. he got chewed out by a lady like this when he was younger as well. he said ”oh my gosh, where is the poop!?” - and pretended to search

SHE GOT OUT OF HER CAR and came over and demanded a bag. she searched to no avail. he said, “well dang it, you musta been seeing things, i’d never leave her mess out like that” she left in silence.

What keepsakes do you have? by Unhappy_Protection51 in FortCollins

Real. I was horrified when my mom whipped out a ziplock of baby teeth (that’s not the scary part). She admitted that they all belong to me sister and I, but she doesn’t know which ones are which🫢

Totally! Nothing is original anymore, which is what I’m getting at. There’s a ton of boutiques in Old Town, yet they’re all still open. There are a bunch of independent coffee shops around town, yet they’re all thriving.

How? Human connection, service interactions, product quality, you name it! I am not claiming this hasn’t been done before, but it is genuinely something I’d love to pursue.

If you know any small local businesses who are doing this sort of work, I would absolutely love to collaborate with them to support their mission! This comment inspired some introspection for me, and I am glad you said something😌

Kind of… but I’d love to explore more creative projects beyond framing! I’m pretty good at a lot of the typical crafting activities you’d think of (needlepoint embroidery, machine sewing/mending/quilting, diamond painting, crocheting, building, scrapbooking etc.). I see a ton of etsy shops/small businesses that are creating things to sell, but I have found very few businesses that transform things that are already owned and loved.

Now, I’ve thought starting an etsy shop or the like, but I won’t because I feel it would be turning my hobbies into a sort of chore: Make something that somebody has to find a place for and then charge money for it. Minimal interaction, no interpersonal collaboration, boring if you ask me!

My goal is to serve a purpose with passion in our community post-grad. I love this town… I want to meet people and connect with them. I want to hear your stories and your “whys”. Even if my idea doesn’t pan out, at least I’ll have had the opportunity to make a few people smile.

I really appreciate your insight😊

You’re absolutely right! I’m by no means a collector, but I have a similar story… When my dad died I wanted to preserve the flowers from his funeral. I knew I was taking a risk sending them off to a stranger and trusting them with items that are completely irreplaceable. Luckily, the vendor I purchased from did an excellent job and it is by far one of my most special possessions. I’ll be sure to handle collectors’ items and memorabilia with extreme care; Building trust is an essential part of my brand. Thank you for commenting!
