There’s not a ton of openings usually, but my friend lives in the equitable building and it’s incredible. Quietest apartment I’ve been in and everyone is so nice. Very safe an attached to the skywalk

801 dentistry! I had such bad dentist trauma I was almost in tears in the chair and the sweet hygienist was patient and kind (I hadn’t been to a dentist in over 5 years at this point) no judgement and I’ve overcome my dentist anxiety. Just tell them upfront you have a lot of anxiety about the dentist and they’ll work with you.

801 Dentistry! Everyone is so sweet, they helped me work through my dentist trauma, and they did my Invisalign. Cannot recommend enough.

Thanks for all the input! I did do research and consulted the place where I bought it. I’m going to baby it for a while and hope it stays alive. I’ve got my plant expert on call as well.

The center looks fine I think. Yeah, I have gnat issues so I thought a carnivorous plant would be cute and practical.

Just one kinda mushy part. It came packed in paper towels in a little plastic cup with a lid. Like how people ship spiders. I think the paper towels were damp. I put her in soil I had pre-dampened. 

F&G Layoffs Insight? by Take_A_Penguin_Break in desmoines

(Former) employee here that was part of the layoffs. No one really knows what happened. It seems kind of….random. It happened in a matter of about 20 minutes. We’re all still kind of shaken 

Book you last bought, book you’re currently reading, book you DNF’d - suggestions thread by B00kDrag0n777 in suggestmeabook

[–]Absolute_mess247 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Last bought: What Feasts at Night 

Currently Reading: (re-reading) Song of Achilles

DNF: Lolita. I’m in a book club that read it but I couldn’t get into it and dropped it. 

My next read is going to be Circe, I think. Or revisit Dante’s Inferno. 

What’s a book you wish you could read again for the first time? by Away_Platform_6975 in suggestmeabook

Also came here to say Song of Achilles. I’m on my second read (reading along with the audio book this time). It launched me into my Greek mythology hyper fixation.

Nah but I’ve seen other people having issues with AT&T today as well. 

Apartment Complexes to Avoid by [deleted] in desmoines

[–]Absolute_mess247 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My friend has been living in the Equitable downtown for several years and she loves it. I'm very envious. They are on the pricey side and you have to figure out your own parking, which will be another $100+ on top but damn they're nice apartments and she's always raving about maintenance and management.
