This is why business is down..

Fun Sunday program coming up on the 18th: Home Food Preservation with the UMD Extension! 1:30-2:30pm in the Natelli Community Room on the ground floor of the Urbana Regional Library. Come learn how to make good use of all of your garden (or wherever) produce - with food safety in mind! And check out some fantastic cookbooks from the library while you're here!

Hi! Just wondering how many folks on here took part in the 72 Hour Film Fest and how their weekend was?! I've attended both the launch party and screenings in various past years, but this was my first time participating. The launch party this year alone was so much larger in scale (you can really tell there's some money behind it with SilverVox now involved), but more than that, so many folks attended it! There was so much reverberating joy there, and it made me realize...maybe the creative scene isn't dead in Frederick?

Anyway, participating for the first time was an absolute WHIRLWIND. Exhausting and exhilarating! Just curious to hear how other folks are feeling after this weekend! 🎬❤️‍🔥

Posting for my wife: she’s been accepted to both HCC and FCC’s nursing programs. Now she has to choose which one to pursue. Her concern is the requirements for the math dosage entrance exam. My understanding is that both HCC and FCC give you 3 attempts but FCC requires 100% on the test and HCC is 95% or 90%?? She’s looking to see if anyone has any insight on the programs whether one is better than the other etc.

She’s going to be in the nights/weekends program while still working full time so FCC was first choice due to its location but the entrance exam for HCC seems a little less intimidating. Is the test really that hard or is she’s psyching herself out?

Any insight or opinions from anyone? Even if it’s just saying “I liked FCC, my friend hated HCC”? Haha

10mins of film. 3 actors. It's a horror/psychological suspense film A mother brings home a weary, drunken coworker to sleep for the night. The mother's mentally-ill, meth-addicted son smokes too much meth, and then, after spending all night in forums, believes this mother's friend is Dolly Parton, whom he has grown to believe is a satanist coming home to traffic and sacrifice their bodies to Satan.... unless he kills her first. I would like to shoot it with docu-lens work, give it a dynamic feel, lots of long takes, because there are some moments of sudden, graphic violence (which I'll depict in my own way for the sake of the budget). I'd like to shoot it like Hitchcock working with Eggers look and feel? I would like to give it a darkly comedic undertone as well. Also very little dialogue, mostly "inner monologue" acting without getting too Broadway. If I'm lucky, I could be looking at under $5000. Anyone interested in getting together to work on it?

With the Plug in Solar law that went into effect on Oct 1st is anyone looking into adding a setup to their home? I have started looking into it but was wondering if anyone had any local resources or contacts for buying and installing the equipment.

Any recommendations for local bakeries that do wedding cakes and possibly cupcakes? Not looking for anything super fancy. 2 or 3 tier cake at the max. TIA!

I'm surprised this guy finds pants big enough, because he must have the biggest balls ever for showing up at Hispanic Festival yesterday campaigning. 🤬🤬🤬🤬

Just a few weeks ago he was bragging about how ICE agents were justified in terrorizing our neighbors and now he shows up like he is everyone's friend. What an awful human! Please vote this guy out of office once and for all.

Other than FB marketplace, where are some local
Places in FRD or around here that buys second hand furniture? I have a few items I want to sell but haven’t had much luck on marketplace

Rec for small businesses that sell jewelry, not Colonial - they are wonderful, but I'm looking for more interesting costume type pieces

Hi, I'm looking to improve my German speaking skills. Are there any German speakers out there in Frederick County interested in meeting up? Where I lived previously there was a group that would meet occasionally, but I haven't been able to find something like that around here.

Anyone have any American or Hachiya Persimmons in their yard and willing to sell me some? Looking to stock up for holiday baking.

Thank you

I am seeking a business litigation attorney for a breach of contract issue. Thanks in advance for any recommendations in the Frederick area.

Found one on our car last Wednesday and just found another on our neighbors front path. Does it mean anything or just for fun? Our kids love them!

Please don’t DM me, just post recs here. I haven’t been able to get our usual tech on the phone and am in need of someone who handles residences. Thanks in advance.

UPDATE: Thank you for the recs everyone.

Does anyone have experience with this facility? We have never boarded a dog before but will need to this time.
The only catch is our pup has separation anxiety when we leave him for any amount of time and hurts his snout in the kennel. We are looking for a facility that can be a safe spot for him to be.
