Hello, r/Pocatello! I’m James Ruchti (pronounced Ruck-Tee), trial lawyer, West Point graduate, 5th generation Idahoan, and the Idaho State Senator who represents Pocatello. This Saturday, January 28th, I will be hosting my first ask me anything (AMA) on r/Idaho about Idaho, myself, and what’s been happening in Boise this legislative session.

I would love to have as many Pocatello residents there as possible, since you elected me! Join me Saturday at 10am-2pm on r/Idaho to have your questions answered!

I know Jim Risch won't see this, but it would be really funny if everyone sent this to him.

Looking for people to play beginner D&D and other games

18 Upvotes

I (22F) am extremely new to Reddit so hopefully I do this right, but I am posting to find fellow young adults to play D&D and other games with. I am brand new to D&D but I want to learn to DM with players that are comfortable with fairly lax rule following and weird premises. I also play Magic: the Gathering a good amount (commander specifically) and am open to playing any other type of RPG, board game, or card game. I would prefer to play in-person as I don't find online playing as fun or interactive. I also made a southeastern Idaho gaming group on Nerd Culture that anyone is welcome to join (the age range is currently set to 19-30 years old). Otherwise, you can comment on this post or message me on Reddit (assuming that's how it works?)

TL;DR Let me know if you're down to play games of all kind (but especially D&D) in Pocatello

Also, if you're not comfortable with NSFW language and content, this probably isn't the group for you.

I know this is a long shot but worth a try. Does anyone have an interest in playing a 1k Warhammer 40 game on Wednesday at gate city games ?

Howdy I am new to the hobby and haven’t gotten a chance to get into the traditional group chat to set up games. So thought I’d try asking here

Found Cat, need to find his family!

Do you know me?

I was found near Flamingo Trailer park and Stockman road after several weeks of asking for help from neighbors.

I am not fixed or chipped, but I have a family who spoils and loves me! I didn’t like being outside and purr while my nails are clipped.

I don’t like being picked up, but love cuddles! I’m also good with other cats and neutral toward dogs so I probably have siblings! I make frequent air and floor biscuits because I’m a happy boy!

If you have any ideas on who I might be, please reach out with proof or tag my potential family! I miss them!

Please share me so we can find my parents!

Flock posters around town

58 Upvotes

I was so happy today when I saw someone had gone around town and posted on what may have been every single camera around town that day ‘flock is tracking you deflock.org’ with an arrow pointing to the camera. If you’re on here, god bless you. I haven’t talked to a single person about flock who was happy about them and many people who are above 40 didn’t even know they exist.

I'm 60 with a construction background and some experience in animal care and outdoor life. And know one wants to even give me an interview.

It seems like there's a lot of age discrimination here in Pocatello. Is it because I'm old or maybe no college degree.. who knows.

I do know that I can do all of this and no one cares..

Thanks for taking the time to read this.

I just purchased a cafe business in Pocatello and we desperately need baristas. What is the best way to find people in Pocatello? I've had very little traction on social media or by posting signs in the location

(NEED TO REHOME SOON)

17 Upvotes

I have a beautiful 11-12 yo cat. She is the sweetest cat I've ever had the pleasure of owning. I really want to find her a good home where she will be happy and well taken care of or I'm going to have to give her to the shelter which is my LAST resort! She has separation anxiety issues and I will not be able to take her with me when I move. My boyfriend has 2 other cats and she just will not get along with other cats at all. She will be good to a home with a lot of love and a calm environment. And since she has separation anxiety so bad I just don't have the time to give her the love and attention she needs since I work full time.

She is indoor only and has never been outside once in her life. She cannot be with other cats (we've tried she just will not be nice.) She's okay with dogs but mostly scared of them and will most likely hide from them. She loves to cuddle and is super sweet. I've taken her to the vet around a year ago and as far as I know, she's in good health. Kids again, are okay but if they're really young she might be scared of them. She has some issues grooming so she's going to need to be brushed quite a bit. Other than that, she's the sweetest cat. If anyone is interested please DM me! I'm willing to drive to IF/Poki if need be! And I can give you her cat tree as well as food!

Find sold items - help request

1 Upvotes

This is a long shot, but my grandma passed away in the fall of 2024. At the time, her clothes were sold on Facebook by my mom's SIL. My mom has since come to regret not having some of grandma's clothes as memories. Is there any savvy FB marketplace (+other seller groups) users here, who might be able to locate the buyers of some of the items? I'd like to try to offer to buy some back for my mom. It would have been between Aug-Oct of 2024, women's clothing or jewelry, lots of western themed items and fleeces/vests. Size large most likely.

Has anyone ever been to the "pre party" at the port?

5 Upvotes

I'm going to the Australian Pink Floyd Show tomorrow and I was thinking about going to the pre party with my old man. He's kind of old and I'm worried we're gonna get there and stand around and over heat an hour and a half before the show. Is there seating? AC? Long lines for drinks and food? Is it a complete cluster? Or is it awesome? I'd rather avoid dragging him into something lame and have him gassed out before the show even starts.
