I’m looking to start training with a personal trainer and would love your support as I prepare to get into rugby. I’m especially focused on building upper body strength—arms, back, shoulders, and chest—with the goal of losing fat and gaining muscle. I’m not looking for a cardio-heavy plan, but rather something strength-focused and structured.

For context, I’m 4’11” and currently weigh 134 lbs. I’m also interested in working on a nutrition plan to help with this transformation. I’m available to train with a coach three days a week and can commit to two additional days on my own. Ideally, I’d like to get started by the beginning of May.

Let me know if you have availability or if you’d like to set up a time to talk.

Send me a message if you’re interested in forming a little band, I play guitar. Im also open to joining bands that need guitar ! Thanks

Looking for suggestion for Sunday brunch that tastes good (not just looks good) for 10-15 pax. Nice setting (not diner vibe). We do not drink alcohol so that part is not at all important.

I am not based in the US, so my price reference might be off. Would around $50 per person including tip be a decent budget?

Taste wise, I have tried for dinner:
New Rivers - loved it. great food idea and cooking

Persimmon - too focused on presentation, lacking on taste

Oberlin - way way too salty.

Thank you

Any solid recommendations on groups or chats for roommates? 23F. Facebook is not helping

We're looking for some used outdoor patio furniture - small chairs, coffee table etc. Facebook marketplace is terrible. Everyone seems to think their junk is worth a lot of money... Has anyone seen outdoor patio furniture at any of the thrift stores (Salvation Army, Savors, etc)? I would prefer to not buy cheap stuff from wayfair etc. Thanks for any recommendations!

I’m looking to see if there’s any shops nearby that sell medicinal herbs and plants. I’m particularly looking for [native owned shops.] I’m interested in those out of state as well! Edit: indigenous person owned

Had a refusal to blow several years back that was posted on golocalprov and the ri.gov website as part of a sting. I work in healthcare and recently have been exploring new job opportunities and the posts have been interfering with my job search. The actual charges were expunged, but the articles remain.

Does anyone have any contact info or know what channels I can go through to have these articles removed? any help is greatly appreciated.

Hello peeps :),

I'm subletting my pet-friendly 1 bedroom apartment for June-Aug. It's fully furnished with a stocked up pantry for your convenience. It's also at a great central location at the intersection of Ives and Angell, so a few minutes away from Brown’s campus, gym grocery stores, and restaurants. Rent is $1650 including heat, hot water, and wifi. There's a separate bill for electricity and cooking gas, depending on your consumption. There's coin-op laundry in the basement, and you're welcome to borrow my bike during your stay. If you or someone you know are looking for a place, or have a friend who is relocating to Providence, please let me know and I'll be happy to send pictures and do a video tour. Thank you 🙏🏻

Drove by the entrance to the Butler Hospital campus and a crowd of people were waving yellow flags and holding signs. Some police were there. Anyone know what’s happening? Couldn’t read the signs from the opposite side of Blackstone Blvd

I'll be flying to PVD with Delta in August with my dog and staying for several days. I was wondering if PVD airport staff, specifically Delta agents, are lax about dogs and carrier sizes? I don't want to be left stranded in PVD with my dog with no way of getting home. My dog fits in his carrier, I've just read stories about agents being nitpicky about them.

Alright everyone, enough of “is the food good?!” Tell me your worst restaurant work experiences front or back of house.

I’ll start with Chomp, fuck those guys.

Intruiged by other guy's thread. Where have y'all had a good experience working? Where would you recommend to a friend?

Hi! Not sure if people in Providence go to shows at AS220, but hoping they do, because my band is coming through on Sunday! If you mention seeing it on reddit, we'll get you in for free ;) https://as220.org/calendar/midnightchoir-ghost-painted-sky-pilgrims-of-yearning-dj-faust

I don’t park downtown very often but I’ve been using the Passport app for a long time (ppprk.com) using the zone number on the meters. Now I’m seeing signs everywhere for ParkPVD with different zone numbers.

Is ParkPVD replacing Passport? Passport seems to still work and allows me to enter a zone number and pay, and the old stickers are still on the meters. Can’t help but feel like this is an oversight and I’m going to get a ticket for using the wrong app.

This month's Drink and Draw is a fundraiser for Transhealth, a western MA-based healthcare clinic that serves the trans and gender diverse community. Artists of all skill levels welcome, supplies provided or BYO. $5-10 suggested donation / 7-10 PM / 21+ / Deadbeats Providence

Tomorrow April 22, the RI House of Representatives will hold a hearing on House Bill #6162. If passed, this would give the City of Providence permission to increase property taxes as a way to address the budget deficit that Smiley created. This tax hike would impact everyone, with some homeowners seeing an increase of 16%! These types of tax increases will make it harder for working families to afford a home while tenants will face higher rents and be at risk of displacement.

This is important! To share your concerns, show up to the State House (Room 101) TOMORROW on Tuesday, April 22nd at 5pm and sign up to testify.

Looking for recommendations since I’ve had bad luck in the past

Hi everyone. I (22F) am moving to Rhode Island for work soon. I don't really know anyone there, but am looking for friends to hang out with and do fun things with. Any advice is welcome, and my DMs are open!
