Where do ppl look for help

Hi everyone. I’m a soon to be single mother of 1. I have Multiple Sclerosis and a sparkling personality lol(ADHD) I’ve had a panic disorder since I was 9 and I’ve been unable to work. This is my second marriage. I never thought I’d say that. My first husband of 20 yrs, divorced me within 3 yrs of my MS dx, which is accurate for the statistics. And while that may be the reason for the second marriage ending, I also think he’s found someone else. He did this multiple times in his former marriage as well. I’m a former makeup artist, I’ve been a receptionist and worked in retail. But that all ended when I came a SAHM we then fostered a baby a in 9 months I got my diagnosis and haven’t worked since. Where do I go? Low income housing takes months and months. My child support ends in June and that’s it. I can’t wait on the lists, I have no family or friends, and this December is both Christmas and my son’s birthday. I want to throw myself back into some kind of work like front desk things but I still couldn’t afford anything with these prices. I’m currently in Newman Lake bc I had to move across the border for these few years but Cda and Post falls are my home and my son’s home. What do you do when all the resources but food are just waiting lists? I’d never feel safe at a shelter. My life wasn’t supposed to go this way. I’m creative and have talents still. MS shouldn’t make me disposable but how does someone like me afford to live and support a son? Please and advice or anyone you know that could help, I’m desperate but hopeful and praying God put the right people in my path that can or want to help us. Thank you in advance if you’ve read this and responded. Merry Christmas Bless you all.

Lighting Ceremony/Parade Question

Our son is really wanting to go to this tonight. However, we’ve never been before and I’m not sure it will be physically possible to find parking. If we arrived at 3pm, would there even be any parking available (paid is fine)? Thanks for your help!

Vehicle lift rental

Hey everyone,

I’m on the hunt for a local shop or garage that rents out two or four-post vehicle lifts by the hour. I need to do some basic fluid changes on my car and I’m hoping to find a place that can help me out. Any leads or suggestions would be awesome! Located in the Hayden/CDA area

Hotels with family room??

What hotels near Silverwood (preferably in CoeurDAlene) have family rooms?? A bedroom with a door is a must.

Prefer a hotel, not an Airbnb. We want free breakfast and a pool for the days we aren’t at Silverwood.

I am hoping to shop local for gifts this year! Does anyone have any local spots you love to shop for loved ones?

I would love to know any deals or events happening for Black Friday or Small Business Saturday, too!

Looking for something fun to do tonight. My husband and I just moved to the area and are looking to see if there is anything fun to do after he gets off work at 5. Wandering shops is totally fine, if you have good recommendations

The Roads Are Not a Racetrack

The level of horrendous driving is nearing peak insanity out here. To those of you who find it necessary to drive like Dale Earnhardt Jr, please save it for the racetrack. The rest of us would just like to make it home to our families tonight.

Fred Myer Boost/Instacart Scam

TLDR: Always check your receipts with instacart, especially if going through something like Fred Meyer Boost. Shoppers are adding personal items and keeping.

This isn’t a new instacart scam, it’s just been hitting me out of nowhere in the last two months - way too many times. Sooo North Idaho is just now catching onto the scam.

We’ve used Fred Meyer Boost for free delivery for about a year now. You order through their app but the shopping and delivery is done by Instacart.

From what I understand and have experienced, when you message with a shopper and/or when they do substitutions - they then can alter your order and add additional items. I’ve had multiple times now where shoppers added items for themselves and didn’t deliver them. The most recent being 14- 20lb turkeys (eta - I originally thought it was three because of the limit, nope he got 14 turkeys.) With the Freddie’s system - you don’t see the items unless you view your receipt after delivery. The browser shopping preview doesn’t show them.

The usual warning signs have been shoppers messaging me for no reason (like a hello) and then messaging about substitutions even though I have my options preselected. The first time it happened, my items were all in stock but they still messaged as if they weren’t.

For the most part Freddie’s/Kroger’s customer service bots have made things right… but usually it’s store credit. Which is not ok in my opinion when people are literally stealing and getting paid and tipped for it. You can alter your tip after delivery in the app, thankfully. Check your final receipts in the app!!

Need a Turkey?

Was given a frozen Jennie-O turkey (14.5 lbs) by WinCo Foods a couple days ago. We won’t be making turkey this year, so looking for a good home for this bird.

If you would like it, please let me know. DMs are open. Will remove this post once the turkey is spoken for.

Date night ideas

My family and I have lived here for years. Wife is from Kellogg and I moved here after the military. We've done most everything from Spokane to the valley. Are there any out of the ordinary date night ideas or secrets that you're all willing to share? I'd really appreciate it.

LYFE Coffee> Please consider supporting small local businesses that are being displaced by the CDA Resort.

This is a repost because the last post was deleted. The owner of LYFE has made clear she wants this to go viral. Let’s keep the previous post alive and spread the word!

Here are a few comments from the previous post of the community’s opinions.

“Thatza Shame...a darn, damn darn darn shame I tell ya. The owner was in DC on Jan 6th during the 8 hour tourist visit where right wing terrorists beat cops with our nations flag while trying to over turn an election. The coffee shop hosts right wingers to come into town and spew their white nationalism bullshit. I miss Calypsos...it reminds me of 'old CDA' , how it used to be.

PS- Capitalsim is a bitch isn't it LYFE? Go "Live Your Fascism Elsewhwere"

“This is beautiful karma and a classic "leopards ate my face" scenario. Dude starts off saying he created this space for community, business, and personal networking - a place to make memories. That place already existed, at that exact spot: Calypso. It was amazing. Dave and his ilk ran Calypso out of town and replaced it with this diluted facade of a "community gathering" place. Hosting Ammon Bundy campaign rallies highlights what they really cater to. Yes, it sucks that Team Hagadone plans to scar beautiful downtown CdA once again, but Lyfe will not be missed.”

“Live Your Freedom Everyday. Your freedom to support literally any other coffee shop in the area.”

“Oh no, the freedom they support bit them in the ass”

How does Video Theater stay in business?

Seriously, though. Always one car in the parking lot, parked farther away from the front door … can only assume that’s the employee. Been that way for yeeeeeeaaarrrs … I’m just fascinated by it.
