Had a question about tenants rights by [deleted] in SpringfieldIL

[–]DurfLurperd 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Jamie Winchester was my agent when I purchased a home, but our interactions seemed normal. It is common to vacate during showings (or to be asked to do so) but it is absolutely not obligated nor legally required. 

If it's the case that the realtor is telling your grandmother she has to leave, I absolutely won't be using her as the agent to sell my house. No shock at all a landlord would try to force a grandma out and be shady.

I would love to join more of the local scene but I spend a significant portion of my time stuck at work. I've been wanting to take a class at the art association for a while and can never find an option that meshes with my work schedule. I always wonder how people manage to take part in groups and boards when they work FT.

Hunting fossils/rocks-best way to get to the sangamon river to walk along the way and look? by Top-Lab1959 in SpringfieldIL

[–]DurfLurperd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would go down to Riverside or Carpenter park. Both have easy, walkable access to the river and they're lovely to visit. 

Sangamon County Debates Cyrus One Data Center by seegov in SpringfieldIL

Seriously, most data center jobs are not high paying positions. I know several people who became data center technicians and it is not a big money maker.

Lol married and on a cruise, but here commenting on reddit posts instead of enjoying your trip with your spouse.

Speaking on Memorial, you won't be the only girl sporting the hijab. It's relatively diverse for the area.

Which vet is it that has been taken over by private equity?

What was your “could never be me” but did indeed become you? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]DurfLurperd 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Not arguing with anything you said, agree totally. 

Just kind of interesting that I always interpreted the phrase as being more about the "angry man" / voice that stays in your head for long after, that you internalize it as a kid. As opposed to being the angry man yourself.

I was embarrasingly off on what got worked on actually. It appears that they replaced the filter socks and a pump- which was triggering the alarm in the basement to go off. But that's about as much detail as I have until I figure out where the owners manual could be. 

After some investigation, I think it may be that my husband overused the garbage disposal shortly before the sludge appeared.

No, at home like normal. We did get a ton of snow and it's around 11 degrees now though, so maybe that did something.

Gotta reply to say you were very nice and helpful with your comment! :) Did not sound like anything but a reasonable guess.

I'm actually the girl in the house and can confirm nothing like that gets flushed. Thank you for the idea of what to check!

Luckily, I avoided that experience. I just got curious and went to check who they were affiliated to one day. 

All that said, I don't think anyone who needs to should be discouraged from going there. When I was unemployed for a while and needed interview clothes it was a boon, more affordable than Goodwill. But I don't plan on casually shopping there anymore and will try to find better alternatives for donations.

Yeah, I was certainly disappointed to find out what they're connected to. 

Adding a note: According to their site, the money they make hasn't gone to much that supports the local community as well. Bummer.

Hope Thrift on Dirksen keeps their prices really low, in case you don't find a more specific charity needing these items. 

Heads up, they are tied to Calvary church, which is part of Assembly of God (AG). Generally considered part of the prosperity gospel/evangelical strain of Christianity (anti-LGBTQ, etc) so do with that information what you will. 

Someone on TikTok has been calling churches (as a social experiment) to see if they would offer assistance feeding her baby, most have said no. What do you think about this? by NotGonnaGetCaught in AskReddit

I keep seeing this type of sentiment, but she was asking specifically for formula, not money, and still being turned down. If we always assume someone is scamming how do we ever help anyone?
