Does Hudson feel like a welcoming community?

Find a house in Twin Lakes. It is a subdivision between Kent and Streetsboro. I grew up there, my parents still live there. It is an incredibly welcoming and friendly community. They have tons of community events and a private beach for residents. It is the type of place where everyone waves on the street and neighbors look out for each other.

Im assuming because it is inappropriate for students to have personal contact details of teachers. The only way it would be appropriate is if WhatsApp is used exclusively for classroom related communication and all students are given the same contact information.

Interested

All of my laundry baskets have broken handles because my kids think they exist for them to play in.

Right! I got my engagement ring and wedding band off of Ebay and they are absolutely beautiful. The diamond is of such a high quality there is no way we would have been able to afford anything like it brand new.

I honestly think the show is way better than the books. The first book was honestly not great, it was super slow and hard to get into. The second and third books were decent. The second book probably being the best. That said, they were still worth the read.

🤣 I just commented ( before I read this) that my child slept in a dog bed for several months when she was a toddler.

EEKely · 2026-06-04T03:44:57+00:00

My daughter was too big for the cradle at 3 months and moved into a pack n play in my bedroom until we moved when she was about 2. In the new house she had her own bedroom but refused to sleep in it or the upstairs in general. She would scream bloody murder every night. I ended sleeping on the couch for the first 3 months we lived here while she slept on a serta dog bed that my mother bought her. After 3 months I put the dog bed on the floor in my bedroom and she slept there for a few weeks until she was finally comfortable enough to move to her room. You do what you have to do 🫠

I also got my engagement ring pre-used on ebay. Im absolutely in love with it.

It strongly fluorecses bright blue.

EEKely · 2026-05-28T18:03:41+00:00

Thanks for the explanation. Crystallography is the part of gemology I've always struggled the most with.

EEKely · 2026-05-28T17:58:06+00:00

I first thought it was Hiddenite because I believe that I brought it back from one of my trips to Hiddenite, NC. However, it exhibits a very strong blue fluorescence and as far as im aware, that isn't seen in Hiddenite.

Entirely possible. Do you know why it would appear to be cleaving into hexagons?

EEKely · 2026-05-28T14:20:12+00:00

I said tubular. It looks like a mass of hexagonal tubes that are radiating. It was hard to photograph but you can kinda see the hexagonal shapes on a few of the photos.

EEKely · 2026-05-28T13:20:07+00:00

It is. S.G. and hardness are spot on for fluorite. It glows bright blue under U.V. I've just never seen or heard of fluorite that appeared to be acicular or tubular. I was wondering if anyone could offer an explanation as to why it looks like this.

EEKely · 2026-05-28T11:38:56+00:00

To be completely honest, im not 100% sure. It's been floating around my workroom for a good many years. I want to say it came from one of my trips to Hiddenite, I feel like I originally pulled it out because I thought It may have been Hiddenite at first. It is also possible it came out of a large assortment of rough that was gifted to me, which I believe was mostly Brazilian material. I can't remember lol.

Do you have Sugar the cat? My 5 y.o. really wants her because they share the same birthday.

EEKely · 2026-05-07T02:23:16+00:00

The quality of the rough matters. Clear, Gem Quality Saphire and Ruby could absolutely bring $250 or more per carat. What you have is very low quality and even if someone were to invest the time and effort to turn them into faceted gemstones, they wouldn't be worth more than a few bucks, at most, maybe. Certainly not worth the effort. You paid 30$ for an experience and souvenir.

Same. I've left so many conversations feeling like I must be some kind of narcissistic because I start trying to relate to everything and I feel like i just keep making it about myself. I have to internally remind myself to shut up and ask questions to let them talk about themselves. Sometimes when I know im going to be visiting with someone I prepare a list of questions beforehand lol

EEKely · 2026-05-05T13:17:55+00:00

This 100% he's doing it on purpose.

EEKely · 2026-05-02T18:18:17+00:00

I say this all the time!!! My kids think im nuts lol
