Without our tax money the Democrats do not exist, but they do exist and the Republicans allow all of it.

Share how you got this. The processing fees alone for my 24 Hr membership are more than this.

$300 a year at 24hr. Does not include classes.

I was a member at Lifetime over a decade ago, it was $120 a month for a family then. It was a great place, everything was clean and taken care of. It had an indoor field, indoor and out door pool, plus they provided free childcare for kids under 12 while you were there.

There’s zero chance of this lasting past a few weeks.

Find one of the many threads on counting calories then buy a $30 scale to weigh your food.

El oh el, no. Been here 20 years and not once has a mtn lion attack been of a concern. Rattlesnakes and moose are what you need to pay attention to here and neither care if you are alone or in a group.

Got shot 1 yesterday. Walked in to grocery store pharmacy and was done in less than 5 minutes. Arm is sore today and I don’t feel great, not awful but not normal. I planned it so I could have a zero day today.

Why? Colorado has the least amount of snowpack since they started tracking it in the 80's. Conditions are the worst they have been for at least 40 years. I would recommend the OP wait and see if we have a ski season here before booking anything.

It rained in Telluride, Aspen, and Steamboat this week. Rain in late December would be wild for Denver but unheard of in the mtns.

If no one goes to jail or at the very least loses their job, I no longer care about any of this stuff. It is not a bombshell; it is business as usual.

I currently own a F150 and my previous two vehicles were f150s that both had over 200k miles on them. None were Raptors and I am unfamiliar with the difference between them and what I owned, but I have never had a repair that costs anywhere near $8500. I do not think I have had repair items total $8500 for all three vehicles. A new Ford transmission is $10k, are you thinking you are due for one with only 100k miles?

A little over a decade ago I worked at Coors in Golden. The head of brewing came in to speak to all of us and when asked about craft beer he said it was "a fad". Coors had just started AC Golden and Colorado Native; plus Blue Moon. I thought it was a myopic view of the beer landscape.

AC Golden is no more but led to Casey Brewing in Glenwood. Native is still around, I think. Blue Moon closed their tap room but is also still around.

Breweries here are closing weekly or being bought out and gutted (Great Divide, Upslope, Station 26, Funkwerks).

Coors was right, craft beer was/is a fad. Yeah sure, a few places will survive but most won't.

Beer is dead, long live beer.
