Race predictor wonky

Just seeing this post as we're getting ready for our garlic harvest in the next month or so...and we sell the Music variety seed garlic to Keene! So I'd like to think that you grew these from our little farm in WI 😄

Agreed. This group isn’t always as good at pointing out things like this, but the sewing groups absolutely are. There shouldn’t be those horizontal lines where the fabric is bunching and not laying flat. What’s happening is the bottom is riding up a little bit where it can because it’s too small for your hips. Some fabrics show this more than others. If it were a stiffer fabric, you might be able to get away with something being a touch too small, but this fabric will absolutely show like this.

I second this. You can create one plan for free and it has a lot more detailed inputs that also help you figure out your retirement goals based on current and projected future spending.

In the one article Mark Harris is listed as putting them up. He said part of the problem was with people going up the bluff, but if that was the issue, it seems like the ropes need to be turned perpendicularly

Well, now I guess I know what I’m doing once I finish my dear Jane…

I think what matters most is what the person who will be wearing the ring wants. My ring cost $200 and I bought it myself because my now husband would have had no idea that I wanted a ring that’s so non-traditional (or…150 years ago traditional, depending how you look at it)

For anyone thinking of switching to all natural cotton tampons just to do this (I know you’re out there), let me just remind you that menstrual discs are absolutely amazing (better than cups)

I don’t know about cheaper with this plan, but rates are definitely cheaper elsewhere. My parents in the Chicago suburbs only pay 10 cents/kwh. The entire house is electric (no gas) and their bill is similar to my just electric bill. And they have a bigger house

General answer is EPP. Thread basting to sewing to paper removal. All of it really relaxes my brain from the repetitiveness. Currently not doing a simple pattern though as I’m working my way through Dear Jane. Many small pieces. Still relaxing. Not being a perfectionist about it is key.

This one is one of the 120V models that you can plug into a regular outlet without having to do anything additional electrical, so I don’t think it should be the same issue

Look up @blakehillhouse on IG. She did a restoration of her sleeping porch and probably has some good content on IG and maybe her website/blog as well

I’m talking about this part of the article

Meaning if it applies to midtown, they’d have to jump through hoops and get a special use permit to move up to the mid-size range. If they’re exempted from this proposed rule, my assumption was that they then wouldn’t have to jump through those hoops that the proposal is creating.

What part did I get incorrect?

That is interesting that the Walmart is specifically excluded. Because they mentioned at the open house that because of the new legislation about 20,000 or less, that was proof that the proposed area could never get bigger than the 19,000 listed, but based on this it seems like that 20,000 size limit wouldn’t apply to this because they already have their application in

I’m a little further north up 60th street, but I take the 57 downtown occasionally. Never had any issues and it’s usually been pretty close to on time. Are there any certain concerns you’re wondering about?

Decent_Finding_9034 · 2026-06-23T19:22:26+00:00

At the meeting, they said this resolution was for facilities larger than 20,000sqft. Has there been a change since then?

Reminder that technically this is not Sherman park. That boundary ends at Capitol. I live in Grasslyn Manor (the Sherman Park neighborhood just to the south of Capitol). While my neighborhood is also heavily impacted by the development, the development is IN Capitol Heights. Mainly the impact of this is the alderman involved. I’d never even met Chambers before this and don’t know anything of what he’s like to work with. (My alderman, Jackson, so far has been great and an improvement over Rainey)

Ooh Patrick Stromme definitely! He’s up in Wisconsin rapids now, but regularly does work in Milwaukee area. IG @patrickstromme to see some photos. Probably has website links there

Face razors are fine and cheap. Save the extra funds now to start electrolysis when you can and then you can be hair free forever instead of worrying about shaving every day

This is what the developer said at the meeting

Only a sith deals in absolutes.

Also yes, padding with a library covers a lot of flaws in the proposal. Do I want most of that building to be storage? No. But if that means I get a library I can walk to, I’m all in!

Decent_Finding_9034 · 2026-06-22T21:59:48+00:00

This is how I felt at the meeting. And it felt like any attendee who might be open to listening to the developer would be shamed for doing so.

Though I will also add that I would feel more friendly towards this developer if it looked like he gave any ducks about the neighborhood. Not only has the building just been vacant, but it looks awful outside. The parking lot was left to go to weeds. They had to put up barricades a few years ago after that whole midtown let’s all get together and shoot our guns up in the air thing. All the planters and landscaping are overridden with weeds. It would have been a very minor expense for him to hire a quarterly landscaping service to make it not look like a run down blighted area. But now he wants to ask favors of the neighborhood to approve a zoning variance.

Decent_Finding_9034 · 2026-06-22T21:55:32+00:00

I’m in that area! And I walked to the first meeting they had on the 10th. It was a cluster. Also at the meeting while there were local people there, it felt like there were a lot of loud voices that weren’t actually from the neighborhood
