I’m looking to see if there is any cooking/baking classes around town

Hey everyone,

As the title indicates, I’m planning on moving to Las Cruces from Auckland, New Zealand to begin my doctorate at NMSU.

I've visited Las Cruces before, but it's been a few years, so I’d love to hear any updated recommendations or advice on what life in the city has to offer. Additionally, I’ve worked as a part-time bartender during my university years and was wondering if anyone has insights into the local bar scene or job opportunities in that area.

Additionally, my mates claim that I should learn at least a little bit of Spanish prior to making the big move.

I’m really looking forward to this, I’ve been fascinated with the American southwest my whole life, avid hiker, & definitley want to live in a smaller city.

Found a pup just chilling at the front of my property on Weisner. If you're missing a pub or know anyone who's missing a pup and lives in the area please send me the sex & color of the pup or a picture. I do want to get this puppy back to its owner.

Does anyone know why Triviz is closed near Omni. Lots of cops are there.

Wondering if there is a local studio that offers classes for beginners. TIA

What are your opinions on the best place to get produce around here? Mainly looking at greens/salad mixes, berries, bananas, apples and mangoes.

Usually get them from Costco in EP but looking for closer places if I happen to run out during the week or if I don't have the need to drive all the way to Costco.

Looking for suggestions on price for the quality. Currently considering Sam's Club and Sprouts but any other options?

Title says it all. Looking for a good tax attorney in the LC area to stick it to the IRS. DM me with any recommendations.

So this is probably me being extremely naive, but does anyone know of any gardening service that would actually pick weeds or use a hoe or whatever, rather than just spray that green-blue chemical all over them?

Curious, how many of you are using an IPTV service? If you are, how much are you paying a month, how many channels do you get, and what kind of support do you get?

I am thinking of expanding the area that my IPTV service supports and don't know if it is something that would have enough customers to support it in the area.

Boeing's Starliner capsule (unmanned) is scheduled to return from the International Space Station tonight and land at White Sands at 10:03 pm. Last time the Starliner returned in May of 2022 it created a rather loud sonic boom in the LC area that was quite startling if you weren't expecting it. So if you hear a boom around 10:00 pm or a little before it's probably the capsule crossing over LC still above the speed of sound. Just a heads up.

Is the outdoor range across the Dona Ana dump still open a friend said you cant shoot there anymore a couple of months ago

I'll bring some board games over to grounded today if anyone ones to come by. If anyone ones to play, don't be shy. I'll bring over splendor, concordia, and catan. Feel free to bring your own games id you'd like. I plan to be there starting 5pm and to closing time. I'll set the game boxes on the table, so you can just walk up. feel free to bring another board game if you prefer. If I look busy, I am not

Has anyone else been hearing/feeling those loud booms?

Edit: This city is begging people to spay and neuter their pets. They have these billboards yet is cost up to 300 for a spay? Just a spay. Nothing else. I lived in a city that has many nonprofits thats anyone can utilize. Income doesn't matter. And they are very successful in trying to fix the problem. How many kittens and cats end up in the pound? People are going to get pets regardless and not just low income people. Well off people don't want to spend 300 on a spay either. I said what i said and the fact that this is an argument for people when the problem shouldn't be this hard to fix is outstanding. Your literally arguing to make spay and neuter affordable?? My mind is blown. If yall wanna pay 300 bucks for a spay, yall go right ahead. Imma find someone cheaper. And I did. And my kitties are doing great and not reproducing.

Edit: I am not talking about bones, cancer or x-rays. Im talking about spay and neuter.

EDIT AGAIN BECAUSE YES, IM PRESSED: Animal services put down hundreds of animal yearly and many daily but you have a problem with me asking why a spay is 300 bucks?????? Your finding Google searches and condecending arguments because Im trying to makes it so there are no more animals dying at the pound.?? Mind blown. Make it make sense.

Las Cruces pretends to care about animals and over population. Ive learned in the year plus that I've lived here, that that is false.

For over half a year I had been trying to get 4 of my cats fixed. I tried SNAP but they said my car had to be registered in DONA ANA. Because my NEW MEXICO ID didn't show enough info that I live here. Except it took 7, yes, 7 pieces of ID to get my New Mexico Driver license. So why wouldn't that be sufficient?

Anyway, over the last half year plus I've been trying to find an affordable vet to do a Spay and Neuter. I called atleast 6 places and the cost was between $150 and $300 just to fix; an additional "new patient fee" and whatever vaccines they demand that you have. It turns into a 600 dollar vet appt when I just wanted a Spay and Neuter.

After asking around on social media many people said to go out of the county. I looked up a vet hospital in T or C and found a vet that offers $50 for Neuter and $80 for Spay. That is exactly how much it should cost. I was able to get 4 cats fixed for the cost of 1 in Cruces. (with no pressure to do anything else)

No one should have to go out of town, especially when this city "encourages" spay and neuter. And for the people who say "iF yOu cAnT aFfOrD iT, yOu sHoUlDnT hAvE a pEt", that is classest and disingenuous. As well as selfish. Sometime thats all someone has for a companion. Ive personally seen homeless take better care of their animal WAY better then those who "cAn aFfOrD iT".

LAS Cruces need to show they really care about spay and neuter by making it affordable to all; regardless of income. It should not be a money grab.

Help. 

After filling up an application for an admin assistant  for the city of Las cruces I am scheduled to take an exam at the city hall in the next few days. I would like to prepare for this exam!!!

Does anybody have any experience with this type of exam so can put some light on what to expect ??? 

I have a ferret that needs to be put down... She's very, very old and her back legs are giving out so she can't climb up and down her enclosure.

Does anyone know of any vets in the area that won't charge an arm and a leg and could possibly do this in home?
