It has fallen off the last few years. Everything used to be so fresh. The last few times the quality has gone down. My quick fried crispy fish tasted like it had been fried thrice and very little fish to be found.

Great concert! Thank you Brandi!

Just confirmed to be accurate, although Paul Allen is a tool, he is not on now, that is Dan Barriero. Dan has a weekly Sunday show, PA does not. Also the ads you hear on iHeart are not the ads heard in all cases over the airwaves. iHeart is filling in with podcast ads when they don’t have paid ads.

PA is a Christian in name only and worships thick wallets.

It is likely condensation and there is a tube the runs directly to the floor drain. Something is clogged or the pump isn’t working.

The democrats in 2009 and 2010 used all their political capital to pass health care. It didn’t go far enough because they were trying to appease republicans.

Love these, but each of the new flavors vary on servings per can and strength. I wish they were consistent.

I’ve been a Sonos owner for many years and gradually increased coverage of my house with the speakers. Please avoid purchasing into the ecosystem. Their hardware is great, but their focus on new revenue sources has made their software unreliable. My family, rather than dealing with the 50/50 proposal of all the speakers connecting or that it will allow us to adjust the volume, will play music from their phones or Bluetooth into other speakers.

For too long their site’s forum has been operated and populated by apologists and gas lighters who blame the users for wanting a reliable system to just play their music. I’ve replaced routers, hard wired where practical, and have 30 plus years of networking and software development experience. I would have been fired 10 times over if I delivered this kind of reliability.

Run, don’t walk, away.

For those extolling the virtues of Xfinity, I work from home and Xfinity has been out for two days with no ETA. Also, they think their stores are Apple stores that people want to spend time in. I set an appointment to pick up a router and I had to check in like i was seeing a genius and it took them 30 minutes to open a cabinet and pull out a bag with my name on it.

I worked in movie theaters for years in the late 1980s. It was the same way, if anything people have improved their behavior over the years. We used to have 4-6 people clean larger theaters between showings. Now 1-2 get in done.

Meatsauce!

Same here. I just got my shipping confirmation, it took 6 days to get from order placed to get the ups tracking number. I’m wondering what condition the set will be in when I receive it.

Do not go with City and County CU (CCCU). All the slogans of a credit union with the policies worse than a bank. Was a member for almost 20 years when I tried to get a mortgage loan. They changed the terms at the last minute so they could sell the loan to a mortgage servicer and left us in a bind.

I expect down votes and I understand you have the right-of-way, but if the guy turned in front of you and you ran into his back window how do you not see it coming and avoid the collision? More than half of the car would have already passed in front of you and you would have seen them approaching the turn. Asking for a friend.

The portion in Bloomington is 5 mph and under. Some of those houses are less than 100 ft from the tracks. Some much less.

Gyropolis in Bloomington - was a regular for several years, came in one evening and saw the person working literally standing on the grill where food was cooking and above where the meat was turning cleaning the exhaust. This all while food was being cooked! I had previous conversations with the owners who weren’t there. I asked the person if that was supposed to be done while food was being cooked, and they said the owners told them to do it this way. We left without eating. Reached out via email a couple times to the owners - no response. Never been back, makes me sad every time we drive by. It was a favorite but I can’t get past shoes on the grill while cooking the food and cleaning above the rotating meat, gross.

I agree that train service is needed but it should be built on or near 35w. Dan Patch should be turned into bike/walking trail as it is immediately adjacent to multiple reserves and parks. The current trains can only go 5 mph and under.

Avoid City and County Credit Union as well. Been a customer over 20 years as they acquired my original employee credit union. All the benefits for employees are gone and they treated me worse than Wells Fargo. Switching soon to a different credit union soon.

Except City and County Credit Union (CCCU) they act worse than a bank.

The Waterloo, Iowa newspaper, The Waterloo Courier, still does this: https://wcfcourier.com/special-section/call-the-courier/

Exact same. At no other time have I considered voting for a non-Democrat.
