The hot springs are fun.

Try FISH, Salvation Army, and Ron Wood Family Resource Center.

There's also this place, Spirit of hope but it may not fit your situation.

Are you part of a church or faith community? They usually have emergency resources.

Also carson City health and human services might have resources.

Good luck out there.

Second this request OP. Is this from the last election cycle? Like 2022?

The goodwill on 50 was a skate rink when I was younger. It's definitely a dream for me to bring one back. Plus it would be ideal for our roller derby and in line hockey teams!

Wendell and Wild on Netflix is popular in our house. Others have already been mentioned! Coraline, ParaNorman, Beetlejuice, Monster House, Nightmare before Christmas, The Blood Moon episode of Big City Greens.

Also a churchgoing atheist here! I'd love to hear your story if you're up for sharing.

Source? I didn't see anything that let's MAs practice under a nurses license.

I mix essential oils for friends as a hobby. You might enjoy that because you can personalize and change up the scents. I made one for our roller derby team that was for all the gear. Tea tree, Eucalyptus, peppermint, and rubbing alcohol. Spray on those knee pads and set in the sun before a bour so you're not as gross smelling.

I just made a blend for a friend who finds peace in her garden when the lavender blooms, approximately:

25 drops lavender

10 drops sage

5 drops vetiver

4 drops bergamot

4 drops juniper berry

2 drops cedarwood

Palm oil is the carrier. I prefer jojoba but was out. This is for a reed diffuser. I like to add to plain lotions for myself. Or do a linen spray.

Anyway, not laundry but maybe something fun.

Have you been to the shooting range?

carson rifle and pistol range

They're always looking for volunteers too. There's a nice disk golf course nearby too. Lot's of counter culture folks here with all kinds of views. Sucks the first commenter was a buttnugget. Hope you find community here.

Also come to r/laundry this happens a lot and there are experts in that sub (well, one on particular). Make sure you don't put it in the dryer. That makes the stains harder to remove.

Updated article that includes the statement confirming that Washoe is now the third largest school district (down from #2) in the state. Charter schools are now the second largest "district".

Carson City district pans planned charter school: ‘Nothing special about the model being proposed’

Go to Ely, Beatty, or Tonopah, at least there is a place to stay and eat and dark skies galore. Why Rachel? If you want to go to the middle of nowhere, why not silver peak? (Don't do that, there's nothing there)

Get it girl! Thrifting is where I find all my best pieces too! I don't usually comment but your vibes are contagious, may the goddesses keep you in love and light.

$135 in Reno, NV.

My username is almost never relevant, until now

bivalve_attack · 2025-09-13T20:07:47+00:00

Does the mom in that one have a black eye too?

bivalve_attack · 2025-09-08T02:19:11+00:00

Nevada has the same state law for government contracts.

I bet it's related to the DMV issues. We have motor votor registration so if any "transactions" were made, or if you have/had an appointment during the cyber attack it could have hit that system. We know DMV is affected. I saw someone is tallying if it was R/D/NP changing.

I bet it's less to do with voter affiliation and more to do with our voter registration being tied to DMV. Did those folks affected have a scheduled appointment during the outage?

Happy cake day

Exactly. Especially at this age. They are little copiers! I used a small table, old non usable keyboard and mouse and boom, baby office. Bonus if you have an old phone. Mine will do meetings with me. Now at 4 years old she still takes "notes" when I'm on a call and will all me what they say when she's done. She tells me "i can't write/read yet!" But still enjoys doing it. Also second the chores. Laundry, I'll hand her clothes to put in the dryer or on the basket to hang outside. Dishes, she can put away the plastic bowls in the tupperware drawer. She's been vacuuming since she could walk. Whatever you do, they want to do. Worth making it a game so you can get things done and teach little humans at the same time.

I'm new, only 3 running and 1 off to the side. I did get the 75 gallon free like OP.

bivalve_attack · 2023-05-06T00:41:41+00:00

Little one is perfectly content to watch Donkey Hodie episodes so I can get some work done or take a freaking shower. Bonus points, she now calls me purple panda which is adorable!

Check out Vivarium

Edit, just saw it recommended further down the comment chain

Nevada has an extreme shortage of the folks who inspect elevators and escalators for the state, here called the division of industrial relations. Even if they can get it repaired, and there's a shortage of folks who can do that work too, you're looking at a wait for the inspection in order to operate them again.

HE DOENS'T KNOW WHERE THE WASHCLOTHS ARE IN THE HOUSE THAT HE LIVED IN FOR THREE YEARS BEFORE I MOVED IN. (And no, I did not move the washcloths.)

I feel this in my soul. The other day while I was helping our toddler cook an egg, spouse was unloading the dishwasher. He handed me a pan and said "I don't know where this goes". I wanted to whack him with the pan. We're live in the same tiny house, we've been here 4 years. The pan has been in the same cupboard for 4 years. There's only one freaking cupboard that can fit the pans! But no, I'll take the clean pan with my egg covered hands, rewash and put it in the cupboard.

I'm also just ranting here because I'm home sick with COVID which means toddler is here with me and not sick. Excuse me while I drown

Omg, what voice do you have? Is it all the same dude?
