Hi all, just an exhausted dad and husband here who is looking for some answers and ways to find energy again. Im fairly certain my body chemistry is usually way off and I want someone to talk to who knows what the hell they are doing when it comes to this biological stuff.

Fully aware that I'm probably functioning with some level of depression on a day to day basis, but I'm already seeing a therapist to address things. Thanks!

hi guys, trying to sell my collection (about 300-400ish cards) im not sure many are worth much but there are a few decent ones in the bunch. not sure where else to turn, everywhere i go lowballs or is extremely rude about it. selling the whole collection not just the rares. message for more details or photos!

The Mega Saver gas stations around Iowa, are insane enter at your own risk.

- 2 coolers of soda -1 tea and water - 4 beer - 6 energy drink coolers

- hard liquor they carry blue ox $13.99 for 2 liters of shit vodka

- wall of airplane bottles of alcohol - single shots, dozens of options 6 feet by 4 feet of dog shit 99 bananas and all variations.

- not a condom, tampon, or bandaids inside this store just shit you don’t need to buy at a “gas station”

Is beyond sane…..

What is the absolute cheesiest thing I can get? I don’t care if it’s nachos or a cheeseburger or cheese curds or mozzarella sticks or cheese fries or cheesy potatoes or cheese cake. I want the absolute pinnacle of cheesy goodness here in Des Moines. Where do I go and what do I get?

IIRC when K&G sold to Maverick, there were going to be some corporate jobs in Des Moines.

Then Maverick reneged on that. Do are there ANY Maverick corporate jobs here? Or only in Utah?

Trying to find group therapy or spaces for people with diagnosed neurodevelopmental disorders in Iowa. Preferably the Des Moines area.

Has anyone used mojo mobile vet in the Des Moines area?

Just curious about pricing and experiences. I’d prefer to get my kitties their vet care at home if I can afford it.

Does anyone know what’s being built on SE6th across the street from Alba?

Hey, everyone, looking to get some help with this.

I played hockey for like six years in grade school and junior high, and I loved it. For various reasons, I fell out of it when I got to high school.

Early 30s now, so it's been a bit since I last played and have been on the ice. I'd really like to get back into it.

Are there any adult hockey lessons or learn to play programs in the area. I'd prefer to refresh skills and adjust back into things. If not, is there a good beginner league to figure things out through playing?

Appreciate the help!

Looking for hole in the wall, hidden gems. I’m trying to find small local businesses to support!!

Indian

Ethiopian

Filipino

Thai

Salvadorian

Laotian

Mung

Guatemalan

Guyana

Japanese

Peruvian (especially now that Panka is closing)

Family run joints would be even better!

I'm just starting to look for options. My backyard ponds up after heavy rain and stays soggy for days afterward where I can't walk on the yard or it'll tear up the grass and get muddy. I'm looking at running drain tile to the street to try to get rid of this excess but don't know who to call to get a quote. Anybody have any recommendations?

Thanks in advance

Hi, I’m somewhat new to town and was wanting to meet other musicians as well as try out new songs in a safe space. I’ve seen post for open mic nights, but many of the posts are old and I’m not sure if they’re still accurate.

Where around town does open mic nights?
