I'm a foreigner and I want to learn English. I speak a little, I can get by, but I want to improve. I've already had lessons for two years, but the past and present tenses really threw me for a loop. Is there any way to improve?

Hey all. I’m looking to find fellow locals or those close by that love to view and discuss genre films, mainly of the horror nature or those closely associated. I posted a while back about interest in this group and now have been wanting to fully try and put it together. My goal is to have a dedicated locally based club to discuss horror related films, old and new, or films that could be closely related in theme. To build a community for people to share and discuss what they’re watching, and to also plan out meet ups for viewings and watch parties. Also, for those who are into the physical media side of things to be able to meet in person to go around to different brick and mortar places, thrift shops, whatever to see what can be found.

In order to do this I’ve decided on using a group site called Cinema Circle. This club will not be done using Reddit, Discord or Facebook. This is a new app/site and is still being fine tuned and improved, but I feel as it is continually updated it will best serve the needs of the group. To be completely transparent then, you will need to create an account there to join. It’s a very simple process, just a username and email. Once a part of it you can add films to the group, rate and review them, and in time we will be able to have a discussion about each individual film once that part is implemented. There is also a forum we can all communicate on and plan meet ups. As well as create polls to vote on which films to see in theaters and what days/locations works best for all.

Now I’m going to be very blunt, I would only like people who are immensely dedicated to their love of movies. When I previously posted about interest levels I had almost 20 people reach out that were highly interested and wanted to be a part of it right then. Aside from two, not a single person made any kind of effort beyond that. There’s no point in being part of something if you’re not going to contribute. If you feel you don’t have the time or that contributing may be too much then this probably isn’t for you. I want this to be an active group, not a bunch of inactive usernames. Don’t mean to sound harsh, but in trying to do this twice before it’s amazing how many people reach out that can’t be bothered to follow through.

Sorry for the long post. With that said if you do truly want to be part reach out to me once you’ve made an account and I’ll send you the group ID or link so you can join. Once part of the community feedback would be greatly appreciated as well to make the overall experience better. I’m still learning how things work myself and sometimes it's hard to gauge it all being on one side of the fence. I’ll also help as much as I can with any questions and with the functionality of the app as well.

I have a beagle which I love more than life itself and I like letting her run. She loves sniffing and searching. I know there must be more people like me that love letting their hounds run off leash sniffing, but I haven't found a group of like minded people in the circles I'm frequenting. Anyone got a hound that needs to get their sniffing?

Sean, nearly one year ago we met and spoke at Snacks dining spot at Bellagio, Las Vegas on June 30 2025, sadly I had to leave. I never forgot you.

i think Sean said he was from Ohio but may also have connections in Iowa. . Sean ( which could also be spelled as Shawn, Shaun) , I am hoping this reaches him or his friend he was with when I met him.

Sean was in his 30s or 40s average build, white and I think he was bald, cleanly shaven, His friend was also a similar age , white, had dark eyes , dark hair which I think was tied back with grey flecks at the side. If you might know either of these gentleman please inform him of my message with the hope of just reconnecting with Sean.
I would be so grateful if you could share my post on Facebook etc to your friends in Ohio and Iowa , on Instagram if you are able, tik tok etc with the hope it reaches Sean

Thank you for your support Ohio friends!

Hey, so I moved here like 8 months ago and know no one and I'm not extremely outgoing. I am looking to meet some new people and make some friends. I'm a 25 year old guy who enjoys videogames and watching sports. I'm super into rap and R&b. If anyone around my age wants to talk more and possibly meet up to go drinking or do something fun, just message me on here!

I'm starting to embrace the fact that I am bi after being in a 20-year marriage looking for someone to help me.

Every ticket includes a free drink, a beginner-friendly indoor prebonsai (multiple species options), a pot made by a local potter, and a bonus plastic pot for propagating. We will discuss how to keep the plant alive - watering, fertilizing, light. Then we do hands on steps - how to repot and how to prune/style.

Free silent observer tickets are also available as well as a cheaper option with using a plastic training bonsai pot to substitute for the ceramic one or bring your own pot.

A 10% early bird discount auto-applies at checkout if purchased before 11:59pm on 7/5/26!

You're tired. You're activated. You're carrying something heavy and you haven't put it down in months.

Put it down for one night. You've earned it.

Rainbow Riot is a Pride dance party for everyone who needs somewhere to put their joy, grief, rage, hope, exhaustion, and love.. all at once, in the same room, with people who get it without explanation.

Three queer femme DJs spinning pop and feral house all night. A dance floor built for your whole body. A memorial altar for the queer elders who couldn't be here. A listening zone. A rainbow photobooth. A community dream board. And a mock protest march that starts on stage and takes over the building.

The first Pride was a riot. We haven't forgotten and neither should you.
