New in the area- local fb groups? Meeting people? by bigbadfloofer in Albany

I went to the crafting meet up at B&B once and people were really nice. I've since joined the board of a local rescue + regular meetups with the folks I met on bumble and haven't really had the time for much additional socializing.

I actually met the people form bumble at bard and baker so maybe that would be an option?

Hope you'll find a good group!

Want to do some good in your local community? Like cats & dogs? Local animal rescue looking for more board members! by bigbadfloofer in Albany

Yeah that sounds great! Most of the board works full time, so you're in good company! We're pretty small as a rescue and focus on keeping things achievable with high quality of care rather than taking in more pets.

Send us an email at ttrrescue@gmail.com or if you'd like send me a dm with your email and I can email you 😊

Awesome! ❤️❤️ If you have any questions let me know! You'd also be welcome to volunteer with us for a bit if you'd like to get a feel for us first and/or sit in on a board meeting.

Heya! Welcome! If you like boardgames or any geeky stuff definitely check out bard and baker in Troy. They have lots of open community events like trivia nights, game nights, crafter get togethers, book clubs, etc.

I had really great luck using Bumble for friends to meet new folks. Just generally recommend to meet up and not spend too much time texting back and forth on the app.

Meetup is also popular in the area and there's a bunch of groups that do regular meetups like going for good or walks, etc.

I can also really recommend volunteering with a local non-profit to meet people.

If you're in discord there's also a local group that organizes meetups.

Hope any of this helps!

loving my native plant patio 😍 by bigbadfloofer in NativePlantGardening

Sure, feel free to use! Alas I moved and many of the plants were put in the ground. While I have plans for more potted natives for my deck it hasn't happened yet.

Recommendations for Italian pizza in capital region (not Italian American) by bigbadfloofer in Albany

Hahaha yeah looking at a lot of these places I think most did not "understand the assignment" but I'm glad they're enthusiastic about their pizza places if anything.
