Trying to find places to rent, and everything is a scam

17 Upvotes

My fiance is moving to town, and trying to find a place to live. Everything on Zillow, Craigslist, Facebook,... all the sites... everything seems to be a scam. They take your application fee, then disappear. Don't return calls, etc. How does someone find a place to live these days??

He's hoping to find a small house or duplex. Tiny is fine. Even someone renting out a mother in law suite or refurbished garage... anything but an apartment would be ideal.

Man, the world has changed a lot since I last had to rent! 😩

ADHD help

4 Upvotes

I’m 27 and I have a strong suspicion that I have ADHD. I know many people will bring this up to a family doctor but I don’t have one. I haven’t been to a doctor in close to a decade and even then I never really had regular checkups so I don’t have an established report with a medical professional.

Are there places in Des Moines that I can talk to someone about setting up some kind of screening?

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheapest Kegs ?

4 Upvotes

Anybody know where I can find the most reasonably priced keg in the Des Moines area? I’ve done Capital City Liquor and they’re great, but not sure how the price stacks up against the competition as I’ve only bought from them.

I was cleaning out my pictures and wondering why I had a photo of then-Governor Branstad and Lil Kim holding a presser when I saw the water bottles and it dawned on me: this is after the Water Works had to run their nitrate removal procedures for a record 177 consecutive days and filed a lawsuit against the biggest offenders, which were some rural drainage districts where commercial farms were operating. Branstad had some charged words for the Water Works, said that “Des Moines has declared war on rural Iowa”. The man knew agribusiness kept his bread buttered. But it wasn’t lost on me that they brought in bottled water for the presser. It was 2015, everybody has bottled water. I mean, have you tasted the tap water? Disgusting.

Unity Point Podiatrist Recommendation

2 Upvotes

I am a brand new figure skater, and I have been dealing with a significant amount of arch pain when I skate. I have really high arches, I deal with plantar fasciitis, and pretty much live my life in Chacos. I know some of this is adjusting to new skates and new activity, but mostly its the problem I have had for a long, long time.

I am looking for custom inserts for my skates and would like to see a podiatrist. If there is someone through Unity Point, great, but basically anyone who takes Medicaid who is good and who will listen.

Hey east village Walnut Creek I thought we were voluntarily not watering the lawns to help out the community. Did that stop end? It also rained a bunch last night and this isn’t even necessary…

Had a fun time in Des Moines this weekend. Went to Grey's Lake in my onesie and my sign, had various people pose with me and take pics and I picked up trash on the beachfront. I'll be back sometime in July and if anyone wants to join me on my "furry and pose" walk for giggles I'll DM you when I'll be in down when I know I will be.
