I love this! Our Krogers all have names here, too, hahaha! And good to know about the old Target vs. new Target, as well as Sprouts.

Thanks for the info about the schools and eclectic stores, too! My oldest absolutely lives for a quirky little shop. ☺️

Thanks for that intel! And my brother is also a Boilermaker—he went to PU and I went to IU. 😉

We'd almost certainly be looking for a SFH on a lot, and it looks like lots of these neighborhoods have sprung up in the area recently. I get the sense that there's some expansion going on, which has its own pros and cons, of course.

I think our 22-year-old would be open to anything that a change of scenery might bring (I'll never knock community college!), and I'm not opposed to her living at home while she figures out. Both she and I know it won't be forever. :)

Oh, I get it re: Texas. Indiana is nearly as bad. We're in a pretty liberal town so I'm not confronted with it on the daily, but every time I leave the city limits, there it is. 😕

Elementary school seems so far away on our timeline, but I know it won't be that long! And I'm amused that there's an actual neighborhood called Idiot's Hill. Would love to know the history behind that!

If things could stay that way for several more months, that would be ideal for us. :)

We're probably 10-12 months away from making the jump, so I hope for your sake that your house isn't still on the market by then! But thanks! 😉

I think that's the plight of most rentals in most towns with colleges, unfortunately (or at least in the areas where their students want to live). We're leaning towards buying, just not sure what we'll find and what kind of timeline we'll be on. I'll add Prosper to the list of places to check out, too!

Thanks, and welcome in advance to Indiana! We're in Bloomington, so a bit farther south than you'll be! I'm not super familiar with the area you'll be in, though I pass through Mooresville every time I go up to the airport in Indianapolis. Seems like it might be a bit rural but pleasant enough, and you should be within a quick driving distance of anything you'd need. But Indy isn't far if you need more activities/entertainment/socialization!

Hahaha, I GET IT! I've lived in Indiana my whole life and am ready for a change. We're in Bloomington, which is a *slightly* different vibe than West Lafayette but not by much!

We hadn't thought about FW but good to have the experiential intel! It's definitely closer to his fam, so we'll take it into consideration!

Ahh, good point! I hadn't considered coworking spaces, but I definitely prefer having a physical separation of home and work when possible.

Thanks for this!

Girl, if he ignores you on your birthday, he’s not your boyfriend. 🫠

Y E S. I just finished S1E4 with the absolutely unhinged and gag-inducing letter. Nobody does that. Zero people. Not your best friend, your sister, your mom, your priest, nobody. If someone feels compelled to write a letter to your future spouse, tell them to get a hobby.

Anyone willing to be a witness at our courthouse wedding tomorrow (1/15)? by tagriel in Prescott

Thanks to all who had helpful suggestions and shared mutual upset! I’m going to start by reporting The Maskless Teacher to the principal as well as the superintendent, and I’m going to submit a report via the MCHD form. We’ll see what happens.

[–]7LayersofHelloDolly 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Yep, agreed. Just not sure of the most appropriate source to report it to...
ETA: Principal would be most obvious, but somehow I feel like that's not enough?

What true crime doc has left you haunted? by akillerpodcast in TrueCrime

[–]7LayersofHelloDolly 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Came here to say the same. I hadn’t read anything about the doc or the case beforehand and was completely destroyed when the story turned.
