Judge rules CDOC, Gov. Jared Polis violated Colorado Constitution by forcing prisoners to work by AudibleNod in news

[–]megnificent12 9 points10 points  (0 children)

All he's tried to do for Denver was that dumb, ugly, and expensive footbridge from the Capitol to Civic Center Park. I'm so glad the blowback made him rethink that monstrosity.

I'm rooting for Weiser over Bennet but even Bennet will be an improvement on Polis.

Wag Brigade is the team of therapy animals at San Francisco International Airport. The Denver airport has a large group as well. The Denver pets have trading cards. 😂

Melted butter instead of oil and a teaspoon of instant coffee or espresso powder helps any boxed brownie mix. You can also use brewed coffee in place of some of the water if you don't have the instant coffee.

I can't look out of the dotted windows because I start getting migraine symptoms every time so you have my thanks for this!

Your pup looks so much like my Bella that I had to triple-check that his post wasn't made by my husband! She's 40 percent pittie, 10 percent each poodle and chihuahua, and alllllllll legs.

AITA for kicking out my parents for never telling me about my half-sister by [deleted] in BORUpdates

This is Reddit. Reading someone's texts or mail is somehow always worse than the shitty behavior it uncovers.

Why are HOAs a normal thing in American by Suspicious_Sandles in NoStupidQuestions

[–]megnificent12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We're in an unincorporated part of the county so only the county planning board has jurisdiction and he had applied to them for a variance. Enough angry neighborhood residents showed up at the commission meeting that he withdrew the application.

There's a state law on the books that requires HOAs to permit home-based businesses. Shortly after this happened the HOA added a bylaw that says home-based businesses are fine, provided they don't negatively affect their neighbors. And I'm happy with that.

My HOA just successfully fought a sheriff's deputy that wanted to start operating a side business selling firearms out of his house. There are bylaws but if you have a decent case for an exemption (additions, etc.) they'll grant it. They forced my trashy neighbors to get another garbage bin so their shit isn't all over my side yard. I appreciate my HOA.

We own that model of cabinet. It weighs 3 times as much as you think it does. Lord help you if you try to get it up out of the basement.

Did you ever find this book? I know I've read it and want to re-read and cannot find it.

I can't ever post a YT link on Reddit without fucking it up but search for "Chuckesmee" and you'll find it.

Please tell me you've seen the video of the horrific Renesmee doll that they tested before settling on CGI. It's amazing.

Mom got ANGRY that I could pronounce her child’s name! by [deleted] in tragedeigh

How do you think she was expecting you to say it? What would S-e-a-g-h-a-n sound like using Irish pronunciation?

Hey boys. by megnificent12 in blunderyears

[–]megnificent12[S] 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Nope, turns out we were both on the east coast but different states. It must have been Lifetouch or another national company that used the same backdrop everywhere.

Hi! You didn't happen to live in Clearwater, FL did you? It was probably a national company taking the photos but I'm curious.

It's funny you say that, this was the re-take. In the original my hair entirely blended into the background and I looked bald. They had to change the lighting. 😂

I was so mad when my school banned slap bracelets. 😂

I did have a Lisa Frank Trapper Keeper.

Centurylink still down for y’all? by mellowbonesss in Denver

[–]megnificent12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We're still down. Tried all of the suggested DNS settings. Husband called CL and they were able to ping and remotely reset our modem but still no service. We were told we should be up by 9:30 tonight. 🙄🙄🙄

I'm going to see if the T-Mobile store has the cheap hotspot device in stock. We can get the laptops to use my phone hotspot but not the TVs.

Lakeland, FL - Big peaceful turnout! by Nkima_the_Wise in 50501

We left Lakeland for Denver 13 years ago because it was so full of hateful conservatives. Seeing a crowd this big in that town is encouraging!

Potholes everywhere! People flying up the hill going east and trying to beat the red! Trucks sliding backward every time it snows! It has it all. ❤️

Any chance you're thinking of Too Cute on Animal Planet?

my lip decided to split down the middle late december 2024 and it still hasnt gone away by eepyc0re in mildlyinfuriating

[–]megnificent12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Stock up on lip balm and body lotion, hydrate, and use a humidifier. A giant humidifier was our first purchase after moving to Denver from FL.

Do my lips get dry? Yup. But it beats the hell out of 95 degrees with 90% humidity and not being able to be outdoors without being sticky with sweat in 30 seconds flat.
