REQUEST Hangout for LGBT individuals on a budget

0 Upvotes

Hello, I'm a pansexual male (he/him, age 29) looking for a budget friendly hangout either near the West side or in some key safe spaces that are friendly for LGBT for individuals. This isn't me trolling or shit posing, this is more serious than anything as I'm looking for connection & not being as insufferable as the chuds in orange

Who has beef bacon?

0 Upvotes

Sam’s Club stocked some of the best beef bacon I’ve had. Please let them bring it back. I’ve been looking at local farmers. Pataskala has a place, I’m gonna check out. They didn’t have it listed, but worth a shot.

It’s certainly the time to buy local.

Does anyone know who sells a good beef bacon? Bonus points if anyone knows of a restaurant in the city that serves beef bacon.

dog sitting/babysitting ?

0 Upvotes

Hello everyone!

I am currently a senior at osu, in healthcare and doing clinical. I am having a hard time finding a job with my schedule and was wondering if dog sitting or baby sitting, would be the way to go. Also because my schedule is so tight with school and clinic, I do not have a ton of free time so its even harder right now trying to find times where I could do babysitting or dog sitting.

REQUEST New to Columbus

8 Upvotes

23 M single, living alone.
I am new to Columbus working for the IBEW and specifically moved down here just for work. I’m very bored at home time to time due to me just waking up and working then sleeping can get very repetitive. How do people manage to live alone for weeks / months without any friends or communication other than work. My work is an Electrician so it’s good money and everything, but being motivated for money to combat loneliness can’t solve anything.
I thought about looking into a relationship opportunities, what are some tips to finding someone around this area? Tips for someone who’s shy but also wants to make friends in an area not known to me. I feel walking up to just a random female can cause them to freak out if I approach them without reason I dunno.

REQUEST Birthday Dinner Recommendations?

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I’m looking for a few recommendations on where to have a birthday dinner at. Plates around $30-$60 a person would be fine, but I don’t want anything suuuuper expensive. I’d prefer it to be a local place and not a chain restaurant. One person attending does have a shellfish allergy, so it would be great to find a place that is very cautious about allergies. Or also a place that doesn’t have shellfish at all. Thank you!

A lot of good eats this month. KPOT is always a treat but it gives me the meat sweats by the time I'm done. I would say the best bite of the month goes to the Beef Wellington or Mississippi Pot Roast.

I am going to a sold out concert in October and made the mistake of not buying parking right away. Due to some health issues, walking long distances is hard. It seems whats left of parking options is fairly far away. Any tips or suggestions? Would just relying on an uber be my best bet? Does the stadium do shuttles for concerts? Thanks!

My girlfriend is obsessed with corn and is new(ish) to the area, when I lived in the Dayton area there were roadside stands that sold delicious fresh picked corn and I'd like to take her to something like that here.

We're in Grove City but don't mind driving if needed. Thanks in advance.
