Who's your daddy?! What better way to celebrate Dads day than to take Dad to the Stars vs Stripes bout this weekend? Come see us, and you can get your commemorative button ticket for $10.

Buy your tickets from a rollergirl and bypass the ticketmaster convenience fees! Dads are free with the purchase of a presale button (limit 200). Monetary donations and travel sized toiletry supplies will be collected for locally deployed troops from DMAFB.
We'll be selling tickets all week, so come find us!

| 1985 Nissan 300ZX for sale |
[21 May 2010|06:18am] |
Hey again, Tucson. My husband and I are trying to sell a 1985 300ZX, so I figured I'd post it here too just in case :)
Z31 chassis, T-tops, VG30E V6 engine, 5 speed manual with a Kaminari body kit, maroon with tan interior. It runs great, and it's been used as a daily driver. Some of the recent work we've done on it is as follows - new clutch and brake master cylinder, new wheel cylinders, new rotors/pads, new suspension coil springs, new steering rack, and we had the clutch replaced last year.
We're asking $2500, but we'll also consider reasonable offers.

| 20 G Terrarium for sale |
[30 Apr 2010|05:44pm] |
Hey all, was just curious if anyone would be interested in a 20 gallon terrarium. Has a locking screen lid and also comes with an under tank heater, day and night bulbs, a hide, water dishes, and a log. I've got 3 bags of different substrates to throw in, and I can even include the table I was using as a base/stand for it. I'm asking $100, but I'll take any reasonable offers as well.
Thanks!

Does anyone know where I can buy more than just the 2-packs of Hostess Orange Cupcakes in town? I know at some of the convenience stores you can get just the package of two, but I'm looking for a box (I think they come in 8?)

hi everyone. my boyfriend and i are moving back to tucson from japan in december, and i was wondering if you all had any insight for us on the following issues:
1. we need a place to live. we'd like to live alone in a place with a good-sized kitchen, a yard, and either 2 bedrooms or an extra "space" we can use for an office/music/yoga/exercise area. also we will probably stay in the place for about a year, but if we could sign a six month lease and then do month to month after that, that would be really awesome! the area we're looking for is of course the downtownish area. i would really like to live in the dunbar springs area, but i will be probably working on the south side of town so am also interested in the 17th to 22nd st area. (actually, we will live pretty much anywhere except super far north or east). of course i will check craigslist and other usual suspects, but i just wonder if any of you have seen anything available that we might be interested in or know of anything cool opening up soon or know someone who might know that you want to put me in touch with! :) if so, please let me know....and send pictures if you're able to.
2. we need jobs! i might resume my previous two part time jobs (babysitting and teaching), but do you have any other suggestions for extra income i could pick up if time permits? i am specifically looking for flexible part-time hours and am not picky about what kind of work, although it would be lovely to work for a non-profit or somewhere that could teach me a skill or somewhere working with children of course or maybe a group that focuses on cultural issues. do you know of any jobs opening up anytime soon, or do any organizations jump to your mind that i should contact? josh wants to do web design work again and would like a job that would offer paid vacation, sick days, and health insurance. (so much to ask for, i know! :)
of course we are doing our own research but thought some of you might have some contacts that could make our lives easier. any ideas, let me know, and i look forward to seeing you all soon!! :)
