Elopement!

Good afternoon everyone! I’m recently engaged to my wonderful fiancé 🩷 Colorado has been our favorite place to vacation to for quite some time now. We are getting eloped in Colorado on 9-27-26 and we’re looking for videographer/photographer recommendations. We’ll be staying a little outside Colorado Springs and it’ll just be the two of us. And maybe our dog but we’re not sure if he will handle the 7 hour car ride well yet haha. Anyway… 😆 any recommendations are much appreciated!!! We’re needing video so we have something to play for people at our reception when we go back home. Thank you!!!! 🥳

Insomnia cookies?

What’s the deal with that place? Are they shut down permanently? Or just rarely open? Google says they’re open, no cars ever in the parking lot, open sign is always off, no answer on the phone..

I just want cookies that aren’t crumbl, and I suck at baking.

Snowcrab Scam??

Some random guy just came up to my work, rang our doorbell, and asked my service manager if he wanted some snowcrabs...? My manager was super confused and asked if he was selling them and he said "well I ain't giving them away for free!" Said he was "helping out a neighbor". He then got mad and stormed off to his (I shit you not) white panel van and drove off. We are in a business park, no residentials around us. It looks like he parked a few buildings down and tried them, too. Has anyone else heard of something like this? It was very random--we are telling our manager he almost got kidnapped by the crab man!

Looking for recommendation for ladies hair stylists.

I was going to see a individual stylist who has their own business, but I'm moving on from their services for personal reasons. They were doing just a cut and color for me, nothing too fancy, and I have thin, fine hair that is prone to breaking so I need someone who has experience with this if possible.

I'd prefer not to go to places that are chains as they've messed up my hair before.

Thanks! :)

Botox for TMJ in the Springs?

I've recently moved to Colorado Springs, and I'm trying to find an esthetician who would inject botox or another botulism toxin interorally, into the pterygoid muscles. I've had a previous esthetician who'd do my pterygoid, masseter, and temporalis muscles and I'd get a lot more relief than just the masseters and temporales. I've called around but haven't had much luck and my dentist said they don't do it either.

Anyone have any recommendations?

Looking for a banjo teacher

I just moved to the Springs. I am a very beginner banjo player. I had a few lessons online but I would really like an in person teacher.

My priority is bluegrass rhythm banjo. I don’t want to play twinkle twinkle little star or cripple creek. I just want to get right into the music theory so I can jam with a group ASAP.

Any recommendations? I know this is a pretty niche question .

Preschools downtown?

Hey all - I’m looking into preschool options in the downtown area for my 3 year old. So far we have looked at the preschools at First Pres and First United Methodist. Does anyone have experience sending their kids to either of these preschools or any other recommendations to check out near downtown? Thanks in advance!

Automotive photographer and photo location recommendations.

Im looking to get some photos taken of a C8 as a gift for a family member. I know the classic photo spots like Garden of the Gods are popular but Im hoping to find some hidden gems and work with someone that has taken photos of cars in the past. Im open to the location or theme, such as landscape or industrial, but would like to have shots at 3 or 4 locations and ideally would be able to get some rolling driving shots as well.
Feel free to reach out with any suggestions or DM me a link to your work. Thanks!

I thought it was a petition

At the King Soopers on 19th and Unitah I was almost suckered into donating money on the spot. If you’re going to donate, I’d recommend Care and Share and help our community here at home. Not hope.org…. They weren’t happy when I asked for their website to do a donation from home instead. I’m glad I did though. That intended donation will be given to Care & Share instead.

PSA for 'Marketplace' Health Insurance; I overpaid for years.. Learn from me..

TLDR;

There is a MASSIVE difference between Connect For Health Colorado and Colorado Connect. For me it was a ~$800/month premium difference ( fam of 3 ) and 50 more plans available.

When you arrive on Connect for Health Co . com your new account is presented with the two different options. Connect for Health Colorado and Colorado Connect. I obviously chose the wrong option and landed in the Colorado Connect portal. Once you have chosen Colorado Connect, you cannot change the association.

I still can't figure out what the exact difference is but the short of it is that my premium next year is going to be ~$200 instead of $950 because I now qualify for the premium tax credit by using the Connect for Health Colorado.

If you only see 15 plans, MAKE SURE YOU CHOSE THE CORRECT OPTION WHEN SIGNING UP.

( you can just create a new account with a different email )

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH WHY ARE THEY NAMED THE SAME

Part time work suggestions

I’m looking for advice on part time jobs around here.

My main job involves driving a route to customers. My day begins at 7am and typically get home between noon and 2pm. Depending on the day— like today— I can get home by 10am.

I’m looking for a job that has flexible start times, as I don’t know when I’ll be done with my main job until the morning of.

I thought about just going to a fast food place or something, but i would imagine I’d have to “luck out” to find someone that could work with this flexible schedule. I’m also only looking for like 20 hours a week at most I think.

Any suggestions?
