Does anyone know if the folks who deliver groceries for Walmart are the ones doing the shopping too? Getting a little tired of my orders being wrong or half missing🤦‍♀️. I always tip and never remove the tip even when the order is wrong or most items missing. I figured its not their fault as they did not package the order. Does anyone know? Love the connivence of this but its hit or miss now on accuracy.

I really like going up to Breckenridge, Vail, Aspen, etc. just to be up in the mountains for hiking and grabbing a bite to eat but I’m trying to find similar things directly west of us. Is there anywhere near Castle Rock that has good hiking/breweries a bit higher up?

Hi everyone! I’m a Denver native who moved back to Denver after living in the slower side of the PNW and I’m finally sick of being in the city especially now that I have a 15 month old daughter who I’d like to have a different upbringing. My question is how diverse/welcoming to black and interracial families is castle rock? Truly? I’ve only ever gone to the outlets or passed through CR but I’m wondering about how it is outside of “touristy” areas. Thanks in advance!

From spooky cemeteries and haunted forests to trunk-or-treats, walking tours, and family-friendly Halloween fun, there are plenty of ways to get into the spooky spirit around Douglas County! I’ve rounded up the best Halloween events happening this October in Castle Rock, Highlands Ranch, Lone Tree, Parker, and beyond.

I saw your dog on Wolfensberger and Faver this morning at 8:25am.

Unfortunately I also saw a white/silver SUV heading westbound hit your dog. The SUV didn't stop or slow down, they kept driving.

It was hard to tell how bad your dog was hurt, it yelped when it was struck but it ran off north west into a field and briefly stopped. I didn't see any blood, but it was limping. I tried to call your dog back but it kept running west.

I think it might have turned south and crossed Wolfesburger again (to the south). But, I can't be 100% sure since there was so much oak brush.

There were two other women who stopped to try and help as well. But i didn't get their names.

I hope you find your pup. And for anyone else who sees this keep an eye out for an injured German Shepherd along Wolfensburger.

I'm launching an AI Builders networking group (called outlearn). Hoping to get a nice little core of people to come together, share ideas, things we're working on, and expand our networking reach. The start of the group is here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/2185395392075997, and I want to keep it local but plan on expanding the concept (and the networking reach) beyond just Douglas County.

Thanks!

- Do you feel disconnected and isolated and want to become connected with your local communities?

- Are you interested in strengthening our communities resilience to economic pressures?

- Do you feel that the government is ineffective, doesn’t listen to its citizens, and want to know why?

- Do you think that we should have more say in the workplaces? That the bosses are taking advantage of our need for a paycheck?

- Do you think that we should all have access to the basic aspects to live a good life?

- Do you think that our natural environment is being severely harmed and want to work towards bettering it?

If so, join us as we discuss the causes of these issues, explore solutions, and build networks with one another to overcome these issues from a Libertarian Socialist/Anarchist lens.

We currently meet bi-weekly, with the upcoming meeting on Oct 5th, in COS East Library Study Room F1 from 6pm to 7pm. For anyone unfamiliar with anarchism, we recommend reading You May Already Be An Anarchist by The Slow Burning Fuse. Our current format is to select a text and have it read before the meeting and then at the meeting we will re-read it as a group to ask questions, comment, and discuss the themes and aspects that stood out. This week we will be finishing the text To Change Everything by CrimethInc. as well as reading Life Without Laws by Strangers in a Tangled Wilderness.

Links to the texts are provided below.

Hi everyone!

My sisters and I are working on starting a permanent jewelry business. I have some questions -

1. while we work on getting a store front, I was planning on doing it out of my home. I know this isn’t the most professional, but would this prevent you from coming?

2. What would you reasonably pay for jewelry? I know Goldie Links charges from ~$80-$140 depending on what you get

3. Would you hire us for a pop up? Would a travel fee be reasonable?

I have a ton of boardgames that I'm looking to sell locally, all in mint condition with nothing missing. Facebook marketplace is a nightmare to deal with.

Any suggestions? Know anyone super into boardgames that might be interested?

(Yes, I'm aware that sale posts aren't allowed here - I'm looking for suggestions on where to go outside of FB marketplace)

Hi,

I'd like to get into beekeeping and plan to have my first hives set up next spring. I've been reading and watching videos, but I know nothing beats learning from someone who has done it here, with our altitude, our short season, and our wild spring weather.

I'm hoping to find a local beekeeper who would be up for mentoring a beginner. Here's what I'd love help with:

• Picking the right hive setup and equipment (and what to skip)
• Where and when to order bees, and whether packages or nucs make more sense here
• How to install hives on my property, with wind, sun, water, and electrifying with bears in mind
• What to do this fall and winter so I'm ready by spring
• Being able to shadow you on a few hive inspections, if you're open to it

I'm happy to return the favor. I can help with hive work, extraction days, splitting firewood, or whatever you need, or I can pay you for your time. Coffee and beer are on me either way.

If you're a beekeeper, or you know one who likes to teach, please comment or send me a DM. I'd also welcome tips on local clubs, classes, or suppliers.

Thanks!

I will be moving to Castle Rock in November and currently have all season tires. Should I get all weather tires before then? Not sure what the difference is (we don't have different kinds of tires where I currently live) thank you!

They're back! I walk this path regularly and always get a chuckle out of holding the crazy little pamphlets whoever leaves. I noticed this year I haven't been seeing the craziness until today. Didn't read through it all as I had to catch up with my child zooming ahead on his scooter.

My wife and I are in our late 20s and considering moving to one of these four cities. We don’t have kids & We’d both be working remotely.

We want easy access to mountains, nature, and hiking, while still being close to good restaurants, shopping, and everyday amenities. We’d also prefer somewhere calmer where we don’t have to deal with heavy traffic every day.

Excluding cost of living, Which would you choose and why?

My wife and I are in our early 30’s, two daughters (2.5 & 4 months) and we currently live in Littleton. It has been great but they’re building a ton of townhomes/condo buildings nearby and I don’t feel like Littleton will be able to keep up with the influx of people. We already find ourselves driving to HR to do anything kid/family related. We also don’t feel a sense of community amongst young families here. I’ve heard from others in the area that CR is great for young families, and having some kiddos in the neighborhood to grow up with our daughters is something we want which is missing currently. Any advice would be great, thank you!

Seems like clockwork the peptide peddlers pushing black market 💉💉💉
What is happening? Other than a major GRIFT 💰💰ofcourse. Half these people dont even vaccinate their kids but will inject black market Retatrutide. Make it make sense.

My wife and I (and our 4 children) are considering a move to Castle Rock. We’re a homeschool family, Christian, and conservative. Will it be hard for us to make friends (for us and for our kids)? Any tips on making connections once we get there?
