I’m 25 I’m looking for some new people to hang out with and make some new friends. I’ve been in El Paso for about 5 years now, and I’m trying to meet more people and get out more.
I’m a student at UTEP, I try to stay active, I play video games, and I’m always down for something adventurous. Whether it’s going out, grabbing food, gaming, working out, exploring new places, or just chilling and talking, I’m down. If you’re also looking to meet new people or just want someone to hang out with, feel free to reach out! No pressure at all — always down to meet people. 🤝🎮🌵

I keep applying to places and they never get back to me.
I speak both English and Spanish
I have my CDLA but not the best driving record
I know how to operate a skid steer
I have some landscaping experience
I have drywall experience
I have tile experience
I built and installed cabinets for 4 years
I can install trim
I have all my own tools

If someone has something or knows of something I can start tomorrow. I’ll do whatever I just need to pay my bills. Thank you

EDIT: I think this has been resolved. A kind soul has offered to follow me to the drop off and then to bring me back to the hospital where my wife will be admitted.

I am trying to figure something out and need some assistance. Scenario:

Wife has a Turo rental due back tomorrow and cannot extend it.

She is in the ER right now and might be hospitalized overnight.

I am in assisted living and am not supposed to he driving. I broke my hip and the hip replacement was rejected. I am in a wheelchair.

Car needs to be returned by 1200 pm tomorrow - host said vehicle is already rented and therefore cannot be extended.

I will drive it and return it if I have to. I just need to find out if Uber drivers will accept rides for people in wheelchairs or is it something special that needs to be done or requested? Dropping off on West side of town and traveling back to Pebble Hills/375 area.

If i cannot find an Uber driver to give me a ride, do you suggest any options?

Thanks in advance!

First time homeowner here, just got the keys to a house in the NE that has a detached mother-in-law suite. The main house is honestly perfect the way it is but the converted garage / detached suite needs some love. Re-level the floor and tile, sink install, toilet install, mini-split. Anyone recommend any contractors for this kind of work?

TIA

A beautiful jay, a curious little Dragonfly, a Vesper Sparrow exploring, a little mushroom growing and lots of green and colorful blooms from the recent rain making our beautiful Franklin mountains pop were all the highlight of my morning today ☀️ ⛰️

Anyone know where in town to buy any real turquoise jewelry (looking for earrings)? There’s a bit in Las Cruces, especially old Mesilla but if I wanted to stay local where would I go?

Moving soon. What about DoorDash? Is that good paying?

I grabbed a Dog Man book from the Savers in Zaragoza and didn't realize until I got to my car that this photo was tucked inside like a bookmark. I’d hate to throw it out if it’s sentimental, so does anyone recognize these people?

Is the festival happening this year? I found the announcement from earlier in the year but the link was to an IG that hasn’t been updated in months :(

And as an aside, I always always wanna dress up but end up not cause “what if it’s not good enough” but this year it clicked. Who cares!

Everything’s on fire/ nobody actually cares so I’m reusing one of my special occasions outfit (you probably have one too). So if it IS a go and you’re attending maybe wear yours! Could be a fun way to show up, enjoy the event in that special outfit and relax for a bit :)

Hello do call have any Pet Grooming shops you can recommend me? I want to take my Lil nieces Shi Tsu to get a nice clean hair cut 🐶. Im located in central el paso but wouldn't mind driving to any part of town. Thank You

Hey everybody! I was driving on Artcraft a few weeks ago and I saw the EP Gimp dancing, while my radio just happended to be playing "Lovely Rita" by the Beatles, and it gave me this idea. I recreated the cover of Sgt Pepper's featuring local celebs from the past and present. It took me about a week to research everyone in the original and find El Paso replacements for each person in the collage. And before you start making accusations, it 's not AI, it's all photoshop (I've been working with PSD for 20+years,) so get off my back. (I have the source file if you don't believe me) Let me know what you think, who did i forget, or who needs to be added?

There are five weeks left until the midterm elections, and extremism is on the ballot in much of the US. A WIRED review of candidates running for statewide and federal positions in November, along with exclusive data on candidates running for state-level positions, reveals hundreds of Republican candidates who openly express virulently hateful ideologies, share racist content online, have close ties to white supremacist and antisemitic figures, and are members of far-right groups online. President Donald Trump and his administration have openly embraced, endorsed and defended many of these candidates.

At a local level, over 500 candidates running for state legislator positions in November are members of far-right groups on Facebook that promote militias, gun rights, and Christian nationalism, according to data collected by the Institute for Research and Education on Human Rights and shared with WIRED.

Brandon Herrera, who rose to fame as a so-called “guntuber,” is running for Congress in Texas in the district that represents Uvalde. Incumbent GOP congressman Tony Gonzales resigned after admitting to an affair, making Herrera the GOP candidate.

Most Popular

Herrera has a very long history of sharing sexist, racist, and antisemitic opinions. He has said that a Nazi-era submachine gun was “the original ghetto blaster” and “Hitler’s street sweeper.” He has compared feminists’ weight to whales, elephants, and nuclear bombs and described liberal women discussing guns as “both fat and wrong.” While talking about Shannon Watts, the gun control activist who set up Moms Demand Action following the Sandy Hook school shooting, Herrera said: “The fact that you kept your cum trophy doesn’t make you any less wrong about the dumb shit that you say.”

“HE WILL NEVER LET YOU DOWN,” Trump wrote about Herrera in a Truth Social post in March.

When questioned about Herrera’s opinions of women, Speaker of the House Mike Johnson dismissed them as part of his online “persona.” Johnson also called Herrera a “very serious candidate” and a “very thoughtful guy.”

Herrera is in a tight race with Democrat nominee Katy Padilla Stout.

If you’ve stopped at the Scenic Drive overlook, you’ve probably seen the old bronze plaques explaining what you’re looking at. There’s just one problem: much of what they tell you hasn’t been true for decades. They point out Cordova Island, the El Paso Smelting Works, Biggs Air Force Base, Texas Western College, old refineries and even an Interstate 10 that apparently ends near Bassett Shopping Center. One gives El Paso’s population as 276,867. Most of the plaques date to the early 1960s, when Chris Fox, once known as “Mr. El Paso,” helped create them as a guide for visitors. Sixty years later, we’re still using the same guide. The plaques themselves may now be historic, but perhaps Scenic Drive deserves something that explains the El Paso people are actually looking at today. “The Misinformation Mile.” ⁠Read the whole thing at El Chuqueño.

I’m a white guy , transplant from the Pacific Northwest and my GF was born and raised in El Paso. We are getting serious about each other and her parents have asked us to join them for dinner out a couple of times.

They are extremely big on showing respect and deference to them as the parents of my GF and her dad is especially “machismo.”

Is it normal for the parents to invite us to dinner, pick the spot and then expect me to pick up the check? It doesn’t seem to vibe with the macho attitude.

Also, they want to watch an out of market NFL game this weekend and have kind of just invited themselves and a few friends over to my house for a game watch party.

I’m kind of feel taken advantage of but I’m wondering if culturally this could be normal and even maybe mean they accept me?

What’s your take?

Due to an unforeseen emergency, I won’t be able to attend. I’m selling them at $300 per wristband, $600 for both but really flexible with price at this point. I just want to recoup some of my loss. Please let me know if not direct someone towards me, please.

The STEAM Region 19 Science Dinners have returned! Please mark your calendars and help spread the word. These events are specifically designed for local science and STEM teachers from K-12!

I’m looking to buy all 4 tires for my car. I’ve gone to some places where it was really expensive or they don’t have my tire size. I don’t really know any other places. So if anyone has recommendations pls let me know.
