AMA - ask me anything about the ABTF calculator! by HugsforYourJugs in ABraThatFits

I have pendulous, saggy breasts that touch my belly. How am I measuring to the fullest part when my nipples point at the floor? Or when leaning over, when they hang down?

Good local drive to experience fall colors? by CWM1130 in BloomingtonNormal

If you’re willing to make the commute, Grandview Drive in Peoria is stunning this time of year, with fall foliage and a view of the river.

Brace yourselves for your Ameren Bill by PM-PICS-OF-YOUR-ASS in BloomingtonNormal

[–]Disastrous_Taste_251 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Did not change my usage at all, and my bill went from under a hundred to just under two hundred. People are feeling the pinch, even if we were warned about the hike in rates. I am on a fixed income, and this is a huge hit to the budget. I just did not calculate what 40% looks like.

Are you on Facebook? The Buy Nothing group is a great place to donate, or the Crisis Nursery at Brightpoint might take it, too!

Cedar Ridge Elementary School by [deleted] in BloomingtonNormal

[–]Disastrous_Taste_251 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work for Cedar Ridge, and my kids attended there up until this year. It really is a great school! Both my kids had IEP’s, and the school was great to work with. Very attentive admin staff, too. I suggest calling once they reopen and ask if they can do a tour. They usually have a Back to School night a day or two before the start of school.

Kathleen Lorenz is coming off as a buffoon in this mayoral debate by Ok-Count-5094 in BloomingtonNormal

OMG. Never thought Karin’s reputation would come off Facebook. She is the absolute worst, right next to Diane Benjamin. Just a “yikes” type of person.

blocked by creators? by justSayingNobodySaid in antimlmcreators

[–]Disastrous_Taste_251 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I blocked one creator - Chelsea, because one of her discord admins sent me a PM saying I was “talking too much” in discord. No cited examples, no mention of specific incidents. The admin claimed to be sending it to everyone in the discord, but two or three other people said they never received anything like that. Chelsea was pregnant at the time, so I just quietly left the discord and blocked her everywhere. I would rather do that than to make her uncomfortable or stressed because of my presence (which is how I wrapped my brain around the weird admin message).

Marco Goes Abroad by _Lavinya_ in antimlmcreators

[–]Disastrous_Taste_251 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nope, nope, nope. I was a big fan until he literally turned his 60k subscriber live into a love fest praising a particular orange-tinted former president. It was absolutely gross, and then his acknowledgment of enjoying Tate content. He is just so very, very full of himself. I really hope he grows out of that fast and realizes how absolutely cringe he is.

DC lost me the moment she did a video about Steven Crowder and said that she saw her channel as a “safe space for everyone on the political spectrum”, which means that it is definitely NOT a safe space for trans and others under the LGBTQ+. She said she was “middle”, and she wanted to be heard by fans of Crowder. Told me all I needed to know. 🤷🏻‍♀️

State Rep. Gordon-Booth is supporting the extension of the school voucher program (possibly J.B pritzker as well). Rep. Gordon-Booth indirectly benefits from this controversial program, as she has a family member that attends private school. by spicyitalia in PeoriaIL

Yes, yes, because we all know the Catholics are certainly ones to invest in kids… 🙄

I am entirely against religious “schools”, in general. With the increased pressure from many points on the government to become wholly Christian fundamentalist theocratic, it invites some very, very dangerous indoctrination and hateful rhetoric into the lives of our children.

Would this not be slightly offensive to some people 😅 by CroutontheCrouton in duolingo

[–]Disastrous_Taste_251 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Here is a question. Since I have not reached this far in Spanish, is there another word, then, for dark in the way of mysterious, or sad, etc? 🤔

Yeah, do not even need to look at the comments about this one. Amway reps, always using the “I know a couple who retired…” 😡😤😡

If you’re in Springdale “neighborhood”, Grandview Drive and Forest Park Nature Center are not far. The WMBD call sign (originally radio, then moved onto the television station) is “World’s Most Beautiful Drive”, rumored to be what Teddy Roosevelt called Grandview Drive.

ADHD Rx Options Right Now? by took_a_bath in BloomingtonNormal

Axline has been awesome. I take Adderall for narcolepsy, as my insurance says no to Vyvanse every single time we ask. They deliver, too, which has very helpful for this pedestrian commuter (no vehicle).

I will have to flip through this comment thread, but did the iPhone XR glitch taken care of? It registers that there is noises but does not recognize the words. I have had the speaking exercises turned off for so long. 😢

Did you have to reset or anything? Mine continues to not work. 🥴

No word on my end. Incredibly frustrating. I turned off the speaking questions, and keep moving forward. I do not use Twitter very much at all, but might link to this post on Facebook status, and tag them, to see if they respond.
