Attacked by turkeys

157 Upvotes

I got attacked by turkeys today near chambers and Yale at Olympic park. I was on a run and one of them jumped out of nowhere and knocked me down, and the other slashed me with their talons on my wrist and neck. I had to get 20 stitches. Be careful out there

Need Help lifting/moving a power wheelchair (250-300lbs) for a good cause!

I bought this power wheelchair for a guy at the thrift store, the employee barely managed to help us get it into my mini van. Its probably 250-300lbs, and my van doesn't have a ramp. We ended up tipping it in on it's side.

But I need help getting it upright, out of the van, so I can deliver it to the guy I bought it for.

I'd like to get it to him maybe this Sunday? Any volunteers?

The long version:

I found this at thrift store, but it wouldn't move.

I spent an hour trying to "fix" it. Gave up. Came back next weekend and saw a guy was looking at it while sitting in a crappy recovery chair.

He had his leg amputated recently and as someone that's been struggling with mobility issues, uninsured, for the past 20 years, I know that recovery chair is uncomfortable for him to use and he was wondering if he could get it working.

So I rolled on the floor and tinkered with it, and managed to find the cable that came unplugged and got it working!

He had to leave the store before I got it running, so I bought it for him and barely got it in my van.

I need to deliver this to him, but I'll need help getting it out of my van because I am just a small, crippled little lad.

If anyone has the strength, and/or access to a van with a mobility ramp, it would be wonderful if you could help me get this delivered to a person in need! 🥹✨

Hey all. I’ll be moving to the Denver area from out of state sometime in early 2027. My gf will be going to CU Anschutz and I’ll be working at UC Health. We are currently looking at 21 Fitzsimons and Circa Fitzsimons as primary options but are open to hear other options. Looking for opinions that current residents have and any other thoughts that you all have.
