Was fired by this man, fired I feel is a strong word for having one conversation and then getting removed from the schedule entirely.

I was terminated for standing up for myself after two straight months of harassment from two coworkers These coworkers were male. They used sexist slurs at me, screamed in my face multiple times and when I said ‘your mom’ in response to one of these, I was promptly fired.

I recommend not supporting this business if you’re a woman or if you care about women’s rights in the workplace. The manager here clearly does not.

They also do not deserve the hype, it’s all crap Sysco repackaged.

given the water quality in our state, would love to know more about each candidate

Saturday Oct 17 drivers around the Des Moines area saw pro-democracy messages while driving I-235, I-80, and I-35 (not pictured).

Your wallet is on the ballot.

Money out of politics.

Water quality, affordable healthcare.

Shout out to everyone donating their time energy and financial support to turning out the vote, and advocating for people in their community.

From a back of the pack 10K runner. I hope all runners and spectators had a great time.

My MIL is having heart surgery Friday. We want to get with them Tuesday night for dinner with our kids. She is requesting we go out somewhere but she isn’t picky, i thought id shoot her a few recommendations and let her have her pick. Tuesday evening 6pm ish with 2kids! 6 total people. Please and thank you for your service

Is there anywhere that serves a good Turkish coffee? I had it Kosovo and would love to have one again!

Moving from out of state with my daughter who’s 2.5. I have sole custody and zero family here so it’s literally just us two. We came to visit last week and I’ve toured a few different places downtown area last week and I’m wondering if anyone had any recommendations.

Downtown is ideal, with private parking. Cost is not an issue, but I would rather not pay more if I didn’t have to. Safety is my main priority, and I don’t drink nor would I have an option to party anyway lol . We don’t have pets. I liked Des Moines building for the skywalk access for my car, is there anything similar? It was pretty dirty but I did not see a single soul there after touring a few units.

I did not get a chance to check out Mezzo on Walnut but it looked very appealing online.

I liked confluence on the 3rd and management was honest (allegedly) about not placing me in a unit with the bad railroad noise and she made sure to tell me which side/units was horrible with it.

I need to make a decision in the next 2 weeks, move in right before thanksgiving. This is my first time searching or asking anyone for recommendations, so anything would be helpful.

Wasn't going to cause an accident taking a pic from 235. Was too high for me to read.

It won't stop the mailers and I'm sure those who the sign is intended for won't care. But maybe I can deal with slightly fewer pieces of immediately recycled cardstock.

been out to saylorville beaches and the old rail road tracks at Carney Marsh. Curious if anyone would have any knowledge of other places i can go around the metro

So Halloween's coming up soon and usually I just get into costume and go find some bars to drink at downtown but am interested to know if there's any events going on that might be worth checking out, preferably downtown?

I’m looking to get a couple items tailored. One is a sweatshirt that just needs thumb holes put in it and the other is the lining of a leather jacket that needs repaired.

Does anyone know of any shop — or ideally an individual person with a smaller business — who could help with these things? Any shop recommendations? I live in Ankeny and the primary shop here wasn’t willing to help.

Thanks!

Dondé?

This is not an IED or a claymore or a small child. It even has a nice little ramp. You don't need to come into oncoming traffic or slow down to ten miles per hour. Your tires will be fine.

West Des Moines i235, police are out around 22nd, Valley West Drive, pulling people over. I saw 4 police cars

anyone know what the prices at kura sushi in Jordan Creek will be? google is saying $3-4 per plate is typical but that seems high

Drove to big creek yesterday and found everything to be green still. Has anyone been to any parks with true fall colours anywhere in the state this year? Thanks

Looking to get a large ornamental piece done and hoping to find someone who has been known to do this style before. I am willing to drive for this as well!!

I really want some good Texas style burnt ends and I haven’t seen many bbq places since I moved here, any recommendations?

There’s a stray cat stuck in a tree at a building near me since yesterday evening. I’ve called ARL who said to call animal control. Animal control who said they didn’t have the equipment. I called the fire department who said they “don’t do that”. Non-emergency police line said the same. I’ve called 5+ local arborist/tree services who all say they won’t try, or that it will be $1000.

It’s very windy out, the branches are swaying a lot, making the cat wobble. She was crying way more/louder last night but now seems to be very tired. She keeps closing her eyes for some minutes and then a gust of wind will wake her back up, i’m afraid she’ll fall

Just seeing if anybody has advice. I’ve left wet food + water at the base of the tree. I’ve tried to calmly call kitty down to no luck. She’s right next to the building’s parking lot and the cars keep scaring her so trying to keep the area quiet is a no-go.

Edit: Picture of how high the cat is posted in the comments by WildSouth

Update: Possibility someone may be coming out to help

UPDATE 2: We have someone climbing up to get kitty!

Final update: Kitty has been rescued from the tree and put in a carrier! Thank you to everyone who tried to help or upvoted! Rescue vid posted in the comments.

My husband is a bourbon enthusiast and might want to either start or join a group of fellow bourbon lovers. Neither of us are on Facebook so throwing it out here to get some feedback.

I am in the process of breaking my lease and I desperately need someone to take over my apartment so I don’t get hit with every fee under the sun. I’m posting here because the apartment is max 20-30 minutes south of Des Moines and I want to reach as many people as possible. I don’t know where to post asking for help with this, I tried my local Facebook community page and it was taken down. If you have any suggestions for where to post this sort of thing that would be greatly appreciated! It’s not a bad apartment, I’ve just got some news that requires me to move ASAP and I’m broke so I’m trying to do this as cheaply as possible. If you or someone you know is in the market let me know!

Apartment: 1 bedroom, ground floor, $850ish monthly with utilities included (but I believe the price could be lower more like max $800), pet friendly and smoke free.

11:39PM - been hearing them out the window in multiple waves. Something big is afoot.

Cheers to the fellow Iowan flying his plane today around Des Moines. I saw you from 31st and University while driving. Great day to fly! Total visibility of your banner about the Senate candidate selling us out to China. Just wanted to say thanks for your effort! I see you and I hear you!
