$100 for the full course, but that includes seminars on correct running technique to avoid injury and a discount at the store and for their running events. I get my shoes there and want to learn correct gait so it’s worth it for me at this time. At this point the question is if I want to start in January or wait for the summer course when it’s warmer.
The Saturday runs are at different locations so I’m hopeful it’s a good group event to meet people and see more of the city/learn some new park trails as well.

Is there any place where we can donate less than $550 at a time?

Reply to Volunteering for Xmas? by [deleted]
There’s a post on this very Reddit trending about helping the homeless, here’s the relavant info:
Below is the full text from The Connecting Grounds Facebook page about this critical need in our community next week. If you aren’t comfortable filling out the form here, you can look them up on Facebook to see how to get involved with either TCG or other agencies in town. There are unsheltered people, including little ones, who are living on the streets or in cars and will not survive this weather crisis if we don’t get enough volunteers to open up more shelters. ———————— “Please share this critical call for volunteers from our TCG Outreach Volunteers group:
As we look ahead to the forecast for the next week, there is a life-threatening drop in temperatures headed our way! I know it is Christmas week, and it is hard enough to staff our current shelters to open for current services. However, we will need to find creative ways to open more capacity these days to save lives.
As we have done in the past, massive hoteling is not an option this year as many more rooms are being used as weekly rentals for individuals and families. There is not enough volume of open rooms to meet the needs.
Many people are working on solutions for additional shelter spaces and expanded daytime options to protect the lives of our neighbors. Still, the most critical factor is going to be willing volunteers!
I am putting this sign-up sheet out BEFORE WE HAVE A FULL PLAN because our plan(s) will largely depend on how many people are willing to help. Please help in any capacity between December 22-December 26; please fill out this form to help shape the crisis response of TCG and many other agencies as we plan ahead.

Avoid Innovative Dental like the plague. When you find someone, if they start spouting off about a ton of work get a second opinion- some dentists have a bad habit of suggesting unnecessary treatments to they can get an extra paycheck from Medicaid.
Dr Nicholas Hein takes UMR but not Humana and is fantastic.

Try the one on Independence and the little neighborhood market in Republic/golden (they hide the fish section in the back corner). I’ve seen crawfish at both

Can you get him to take a pic and send it to you? You could try and track him down with the metadata.

No, we are in a shit place for mental health. Go to St Louis or leave the state for decent care.

You might search “wild bird sanctuary “ and call whoever comes up. They might be able to help/point you in the right direction.
Good luck on getting the coot rehabilitated. You hey are such a pretty bird.

Thirding Vanover Vision in Costco. He does the full exam- did the eye pressure test, let us know to check our Cholesterol (a good optometrist an give early warnings on cholesterol/diabetes/etc) and no problem getting our IPs. You do not need to be a member to get the exam (although you do need one to buy glasses there).
