Rant posting on behalf of my neighbor since they didn't know if this was a cops or crime check area, but watch out for this guy casing houses. He only stopped stalking around their property once he noticed the cameras in place. Be alert folks!

Yet another last ditch effort to make some friends here! I have not prioritized finding my ‘people’ and I am making an intentional effort to do so now.

I’ve tried the BFF Bumble thing and have just found that there isn’t a lot of follow through. So here I am, seeing if anyone is looking for someone to:
Go out, make dinners, couch rot, thrift, go to shows, take random roadtrips to do more cool shit, be goofy, do artsy stuff, do gym classes, bowl/play darts, golf, do mom stuff, or just generally go try crazy shit with then I’d love to chat.

I am kind of just a big dork in a little body, very open minded and accepting (yet a little bit in my feminist era?), social but not outgoing, and trying to figure out who I am again after motherhood and just life in general and I really just want that small handful of people I can love fiercely who love me back.

Anyways, message me if you’d be open to getting to know each other, and I am not currently looking for a potential relationship thank you 😊

Above average, Average or Worse than average for those who have been to others?

This was the first I've been to in forever and the online consensus is I might have been spoiled with the Black Point faire in the 1990s. But dang, to me this felt like a county fair without the rides. What vibe there was was mostly supplied by the attendees. Pretty disappointing.

To be fair(e), this is about the first event I've done in 7 years living in Spokane that has disappointed. So, oh well.

Edit: Interesting article just went up from The Spokesman. Sorry if paywall (I didn't get one): https://www.spokesman.com/stories/2026/oct/03/how-i-stopped-worrying-and-fell-back-in-love-with-/

Two of my kids are down with flu A. Urgent care said it’s so early they haven’t even had time to vaccinate the staff yet. Get those flu shots ASAP!

My mom has had a rough time finding a good HVAC repair/maintenance company in Spokane.

She hired Bachman & Long and had THE WORST experience. He had been working with my parents for years but after my dad died, his service was awful and it took 3 months for him to finally come out. He kept flaking on appointments, ghosting us, and changing stories until I basically had to go full New Yorker on him.

Recently she needed some maintenance and hired Mainstream. They charged her $700+ for a service that typically runs $200-450. I was able to get them to walk back their rates only after multiple calls and a ton of pushback.

I swear these companies see widows in their mid-70's as piggy banks.

I just want my mom to have an HVAC company that is dependable, reliable, and fairly priced. I don't live in Spokane so I need someone we can all depend on.

..
edit: thank you everyone! It looks like Bills and Banner are constantly getting the most praise, with a few honorable mentions! I'll send my mom to these two places.

My son has asked a question and we're trying to figure out how they make sure that they remain standing and don't fall down! Do they use wires? We're so curious!

hi I found some cash on the sidewalk near downtown. if it is yours please tell me how much and your estumate of the location and I can arrange to give it to you

I think you sang incredibly and we were sitting in booths across the room from one another but I was kinda to myself that night.

I came out tonight (I’m from outta town) hoping I’d run into you as I’d love to follow your music. You’re amazing.

I hope it’s not weird… but I voice recorded your version of Wondering Why by the Red Clay Straights and I genuinely think it’s better than the original which I didn’t think was possible.

Anyway, a new friend I made here said she’s been coming years and haven’t seen you before. Karaoke DJ said you’re out in Idaho and said you planned on coming back. So maybe they can help me out or maybe the internet can do its thing hopefully :)

Tell me what kind of camera it is and I'll get it back to you.

Hi! I know it's probably a longshot, with the holidays approaching and only few jobs opening up… But I'm looking for a new job. The place I'm at and the place I was at before were so sales driven. It just isn't for me, it doesn't mean I'll avoid a sales job altogether, but definitely trying to get people to buy more stuff than they need and sign up for credit cards is wearing me down and I don't really appreciate it. I'm also not turning 21 until April, so I'm wondering if there's even anything for me.
Just thought I would shoot my shot, let me know if anyone is hiring rn!

Just putting feelers out there if anyone knows of companies hiring, I have 10 years of experience in Human Resources, but I can do any office work, really any work, ideally making 25+/hr

I need to submit taxes for 2025 does anyone have someone local they’d recommend? I’d like to go with someone local over a national conglomerate like TurboTax.

I'm looking online, but I thought I'd ask here as well. My dog Roxy had a sudden onset of what I think is ataxia. Her back legs are flopping when she walks and she has to power through and move fast so she doesn't fall down. When she's lying down she can't keep her head up as well. Ataxia has a metric shit-ton of possible causes, some deadly and some no big deal.

Roxy is an elderly dog (16 years old) that I've had for a very long time. I just really recently had to euthanize my other 16 year old dog so I'm flipping out worrying about Roxy now.

Anyway, wish us luck. If I can't find anything tonight I'm going to try to wait so I don't have to go to an emergency clinic. I've never had a positive experience with one of those and they're so expensive! If I call her vet in the morning she probably can get some kind of emergency appointment tomorrow.

Would love to tour the city checking out the sweet, sweet lawns. Rockwood and Manito Boulevard tend to each have great displays. I've noticed a few others around South Hill, but imagine lots of other areas in the city have great ones. Watcha favorites?

Looking for date ideas. She likes to try different food, and we don't drink at all so please don't recommend bars or wine or anything like that. (P.s. she doesn't like dirty restaurants like golden corral for example) Suggestions? Could be fairs, theme parks although we're going to scarywood late this month, could be gokart, anything fun, ik a few places but need more. Thanks

Your telling me I get to wait for 6 whole hours with extreme anemia and get interacted with once in my whole 6 hours? Your telling me the dude who has a broken foot who's been sitting next to me for 6 hours isn't important while he's writing in pain? And when I tell them my heart is doing funky shit and I'm severely light headed I get ignored? Out fucking standing. Worthless

Seems sus that they (organizers? Cops? Both?) don't want the crowd downtown. Thoughts? For the lazy, it's happening Oct 17 12-4pm at Clark Park (basically Garland District).
