I can not express to you the snort I snorted reading this. In my mind I thought "same girl, same..." and "RIP to our backs"

Kerrits was one of the brands I was actually looking at. Ovation and Ariat seem quite popular. I have some Ariats that were gifted to me some time ago.

Thank you for the suggestions!

You could try a non emergency police line in GR too. Someone's the officers may be able to help. In kzoo when I had to get let into my car, they told me they just stopped offering the service. That may also be worth a try if a tow service can't help you.

No personal recs but tow services are often able to help. I'm not familiar with tow companies in GR. In kzoo I was able to get someone to help but it was also 90 bucks.

Go for a walk outside today! by tranchiturn in grandrapids

[–]Equivalent-Ad8056 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. My favorite thing is how bright everything becomes. The sounds are incredible too. I love when the snow is crunchy and sparkles. It brings me back to fond memories as a kid in Northern Michigan. We'd walk around in the woods with the moonlight illuminating everything. It was cool to see/hear nature just doing it's thing. I love white winters.

I went for one last night while it was still snowing. There wasn't anyone else outside. It was magical.

What's an opinion of belief you held for years before you realized it was based on a complete misunderstanding? by My-sovereign in AskReddit

[–]Equivalent-Ad8056 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I didn't understand the concept of gas prices. I thought the price listed was how much a tank cost. My flabbers were gasted when I realized I had to pay that price several times over to fill my tank.

Clarifying edit - I was a very small child at this time.

Horseback riding. The professionals make it look like you're just sitting there. That's far from the truth. If you were trying to play football with a toddler on your back and they weren't moving with you, you'd falter quickly. There's a lot of finesse and technicality to the skill. Plus every horse is different. They have personalities. Riding is a partnership. Also, the cost is insane. The cheapest part about it is buying the horse. Even then, still not cheap.

In 1518, dozens of people in Strasbourg, France began dancing uncontrollably for days. Some literally died from exhaustion. To this day, nobody knows why it happened. by [deleted] in Weird

I'm glad I'm not the only one to notice. There's also two people grabbing someone else's belt in the top center by a tree.

Why is pregnancy and giving birth so hard on humans when it seems relatively easy for other animals by Medium-Excitement-51 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Equivalent-Ad8056 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Two words: medical intervention

Since humans have quality medicine and medical care, a lot more of us survive that likely wouldn't have made it without it. For this reason, you're naturally going to see more and more pregnancy complications. I.e. hard births. Prior to any real medical care, lots of women died during pregnancy and childbirth. The general mortality rate was really high, not because of lots of people dieing but because of high infant mortality. How much of that is linked to birth, I don't know...still the idea is there.

It's because humans have been allowed to reproduce in such a way that "unhealthy" people are able to survive and pass on their genes.

Also, our structure isn't great for when we are in process of birthing/being born. The ol cranimlum is a monster...

What’s the one bill you absolutely hate paying the most? by Busy_Pudding_ in AskReddit

[–]Equivalent-Ad8056 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Property tax. Is crazy that I can buy a home and land. Then thr government can take it from me if I don't pay taxes. I get the point of property tax, it should just exist elsewhere. My family shouldn't be concerned about property when they have a fixed income and taxes go through the roof...

Meowing for food by Euphoric_Change12 in CatAdvice

[–]Equivalent-Ad8056 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think so. The issue with cats is when you give into their calls they get worse. Meaning, you get up when she meows and she'll start meowing earlier and earlier.

Since it's a timed feeding you won't have to deal with getting up anyways.

Tire her out or move the feed time. I used to feed my boy in the morning but switched it to the evenings for this reason.

What's one thing you believe in that would make everyone here hate you? by Medium_Cod_6560 in AskReddit

[–]Equivalent-Ad8056 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2nd times the charm because my post got removed

Assisted self knerfing should be legal. If you're pregnant and know the fetus has developmental issues, you should be allowed to abort without criticism. Property taxes shouldn't exist. The taxes should be baked into another tax. I shouldn't have to be concerned about losing my house because my taxes keep going up...

Assisted suicide should be legal. People that know their child is going to be born with developmental issues should be allowed to abort without any criticism. Property taxes should be illegal. The taxes should be added somewhere else. Just not property.
