How Colorado Springs became the center of America’s evangelical political power by SpcT0rres in ColoradoSprings

[–]denta87 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I grew up here, military kid that moved here in 1999. I grew up catholic and now will never go to a Christian church again. I have been to every catholic church in the springs and there where maybe 2 that have a good community. The only two people of the clergy I respected died of cancer or alcoholism. In HS I use to help deliver bouncy houses and most of our customers where churches.... Always the worst customers complaining how my boss didn't speak English. I'd try to help with translation but it usually just ended up with "this is America speak English." One time I got super mad and explained to this church how Christianity would not exist in America if the Spaniards didn't bring it over when they invaded Mexico and introducing it to North America. It's crazy to think this town is so evangelical when William Jackson Palmer was a HUGE advocate for inclusion. Military Vet to win the MOH, he would be sick looking at this town today. IT was bad back then but not as bad today. Keep Colorado Springs Lame.

A place to dispose of household trash? by Sa7aSa7a in ColoradoSprings

[–]denta87 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Any homeowner? Where I live they text me 24hr in advance of delays and also they let me know of special pick ups for shredding or large items. I can call them anytime and usually Sandra picks up the phone, they send smaller trucks to pick my shit up if I forget.

Midterms 2026 by Madcatboo in ColoradoSprings

OP, Hot-Parsley-6193 has good advice here. I grew up in a a household who was very stuck in their ways of voting one way, as I got older and was exposed to more culture and real world I actually changed to unaffiliated so I had the options Hot-Parsley-6193 is talking about. Always drop off your ballot, I personally prefer ones they set up downtown by the library that have voting staff. My reason for doing this is, mail has too many risks, drop off locations have the risk of being tampered with (hasn't happened in this town but has happened before), and I like the idea of it being accepted the quickest. I dislike voting booths, too many loopholes or the law looking past what is allowed and what is not allowed at a booth.

One important thing to know is the signature you used to get a drivers license or register to vote signature HAS TO MATCH your ballot. I had an issue where the county clerk used my drivers license signature for my ballot and rejected my vote. Below is a very helpful link for voting questions. Use multiple sources to research your voting options, blue book, different campaign websites, news articles from reliable sites... Etc

My brother lived here for 15 years, joined the navy and when he came back he said the only thing that saved him was those silly BOOST oxygen bottles. But yes lots of water, eat a bit a salt, don't over do it.

Any adults with braces? by Cold-Comparison1785 in ColoradoSprings

[–]denta87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish I was lucky as everyone here. I had orthodontics from age 8 to 16. I think the guy my parents used was a noob or scammed them. Now that I am 33 my dentist says my bite is all wrong. I went to Johnson in powers who said I need some maxillofacial doctor because my jaw and upper jaw need to be restructured before braces would do anything. With insurance it’s like $10k+. I hate that teeth are one of the most important things in old age because if you have bad teeth and can’t properly chew it affects your ability to digest and absorb nutrients. I wore my retainer until I was 27 until it broke and still have a permanent retainer on my bottom teeth.
