apnews.comLabor Dispute by Boise State
Does anyone know what the labor dispute is about? Saw this by the construction next to the Honors College at Boise State this morning. It looked like BPD was maybe having them take down the sign?

Best places to make friends?
I just moved here from across the country and I was wondering where the best place is to meet friends as a mid 20s woman. I like metal and goth music, I’m interested in nature, rocks, books, mysteries, and the occult and paranormal. I’m also an author and I like art and crafty stuff. I went to the shrine for goth night so anything similar would be awesome. Thanks!
How is the House Bill 623 (mandatory moment of silence) working out?
Brad Little mandated that every school starts the day with a literal minute of silence. It's supposed to prevent suicide or something. Parents seem just as confused as the students about what this is accomplishing. All kids, K-12 are literally not allowed to speak at the beginning of the day.
I want you all to know that you are important. I don’t know you but you are loved.
Please message me if you need someone to talk to. I can’t do much else.

New Eagle Road Speed Signs
The new speed limit signs on Eagle Road don't make any sense to me whatsoever; it goes from 55 - 45 during certain times of the day? What is the point of it? Just yesterday on my way to work 45 mph; we're already going 45mph, because there's just that much traffic. Whose hair-brain scheme was it to put these up? I don't understand the purpose of this.
Local products for wedding favors
Our families are from the east coast, and we want to give them a taste of Idaho. As we are new to the area, I don’t know where to start looking. I’m thinking of local products, local artists, anything local to gift for guests. Coffee, candles, body care, etc! Open to ideas as well.

Affordable dental care?
Hey everybody, I don’t have dental insurance and I’m sort of freaking out right now. I think I have bump near my tooth which from googling tells me it’s an abscess. I’m wondering if anyone knows a dentist who could accept payments? I’m scared because I know not taking care of things can get dangerous and I don’t know how long I’ve this for.
Anyone missing a pet duck? Near HW21 and Warm Springs
Was in my front yard last night when a duck flew and landed right next to us. She seemed to be seeking out people and followed us around as we were going about our business. Pretty sure she is a Rouen and not a mallard and she didn’t behave like a wild duck. We gave her water and she seemed incredibly thirsty. It was getting was getting dark and she started to settle in like she was going to sleep in our driveway. We decided to bring her in for the night and made a temporary holder out of a packing box. We’re planning on calling the Humane Society when they open but just thought I’d check to see if anyone around us was missing her.
Looking for personal trainer recs
I’m 36F looking to up my strength training regiment and need a personal trainer who specializes in lifting weights and growing muscle through compound lifts. I’ve been working with a trainer for the past year, but she only specializes in beginner and intermediate levels.
I work full time, so I would love someone who can train me at 5:30 or 6 pm on weeknights.
Where can I get cattails
Looking where I can purchase or harvest some cattails. My friend loves them and I'd like to include some with her birthday gift. I've called a few places and have had no luck. It's illegal to harvest from parks. So.....I'm hoping someone here can help. Thank you!!
Yard signs being stolen North End
Hey everyone, I’m sure I’m not the only one that has experienced this but while I was on vacation my pet sitter let me know that my “Idaho is Too Great for Hate” yard sign was taken from my actual yard. Today I was walking my dog and went to toss his poop baggie in an alley trash can (without a “no poop” sticker on it) and opened it up to find this…
Now I know this is an alley trash can, behind one specific house but that doesn’t mean that it was this home owner that did this so my question is what are all your thoughts? Should I say something to this neighbor, leave a note, or just leave it?
Edit: as per a few nasty comments let me clear some odd little details up, no this isn’t a feud between neighbors, this person doesn’t even live on my street and doesn’t seem to know where I live. This trash bin is in an alley that serves multiple homes which is why I stated it might not even belong to the person whose home it happens to be sitting behind. I am not claiming that is my sign, more that someone has taken multiple people’s signs. No, I don’t frequently toss my dog bags in other bins, I happened to have my hands full with food from the coffee shop at the moment. Have a better day, folx
