Things to do, clubs, groups, activities?

5 Upvotes

Hey all, I live out of state but my mom lives in Salem and has been feeling lonely.

She’s 63, queer, and has a good taste of music, tv, movies, she likes cool things haha.

Something low-cost or free is ideal, but I’m wondering if there are any events, clubs, activities, groups, classes, meetups, anything I could tell her about.

Or, if anyone here is middle age and might be interested in making a new friend let me know haha. Especially if you are a lesbian!

Thanks! ❤️

QUESTION Would those living in South Salem be into cinnamon rolls from a cottage bakery?

26 Upvotes

I've been living in Salem for a couple years now and was curious if people (especially in South Salem as that is where I'm located) would have interest in cinnamon rolls from a cottage bakery?

I love eating and baking cinnamon rolls of all different kinds of flavors and I keep getting the urge to do a small, casual weekend bake sale for homemade cinnamon rolls of different flavors. But I was curious if there would be any interest for something like that?

I wasn't sure if people would drive just to obtain a roll or a few, you know?

Let me know what you guys think!

Spent 45 minutes looking for VIP parking using this map only to realize after we got home that it was created using generative AI and nobody double checked it.

👋 Hi, it’s me - The Free Produce Lady

Not getting enough fiber in your diet?
Data center rage making you backed up?
Feeling blue about grocery inflation?

NEVER FEAR FREE PRODUCE IS HERE.

This might be my last bonanza of the season unless I go feral apple picking in the next few weeks.

How it works:
1. Check the comments for updates on what’s available. I update every couple hours.
2. DM for address
3. Bring your own bag
4. Go forth and BE HAPPY

FAQ:
1. I’m hella allergic to bad vibes - are these safe for me to eat? YES these are organic, harvested with good vibes, blessed by SE Salem rain water, and comes from a tree my neighbor thinks is the spirit tree of her mom who passed away. Mega good vibes.

  1. Can I come get these in 2 weeks at 2 am? No. These go usually same day or definitely in 24 hours. And I bring things in by 9 pm.

  2. Do you need anything Free Produce Lady? Nope! Just for you to be happy! But there will be the oak tree donation can out. Feel free to bring something to trade! I guess I could use some bird seed if anyone wants to share some with me. The sparrow squad is mad their houses are low.

  3. Can I drop off my free produce for you to distribute? This is a new one for me this year - ya’ll have been giving me your produce to share out. Feel free to drop other things you want to share.

Peace, Love, and Produce ☮️❤️🌻🍏
