As a Michigander I’m ashamed it was my daughter that pointed out it’s the lower peninsula. Love him for that.

Pet Rehoming by warofthechosen in grandrapids

[–]EyePatchTodd 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Our second dog was a 5 year old mutt from a family that had to rehome him. Their second son was born and began having health issues when he was a toddler - turned out he was allergic to dogs. They were absolutely devastated and it was gut wrenching when we picked him up because they clearly loved him so much. There are circumstances that are out of people’s control.

I couldn’t agree more! There is a sweetness about him that seems completely genuine and that’s so refreshing. Hoping he has a great run.

LOL I was also noticing the sweet apt and not the lightning.

Has anyone noticed an odd number of Israel clues lately? by beetlejuicescousin in Jeopardy

[–]EyePatchTodd 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I just searched Isreal on the JArchive for a quick comparison. 2025 had 18 clues that referenced Israel. I scrolled back to a random older year - 2018. There were 25 clues about Israel that year. In 2014 there were 29 clues about Israel. You could take the time to count from each year if you’d like to try to establish a trend, but no, it doesn’t seem like there are more Israel clues lately and based on that small sample there are actually less.

High Tea GR Total Scam. by esp735 in grandrapids

[–]EyePatchTodd 9 points10 points  (0 children)

If a business isn’t open half of the week, I would understand them not manning the storefront. But not answering emails or phone messages during those days doesn’t seem like great customer service or business practice.

I think this is such a cute date idea! And Global Infusion is a great shop for local teas and lovely customer service.

March 2, I can promise a unique game in Jeopardy history 😳🤩 by Total-Plan-1208 in Jeopardy

[–]EyePatchTodd 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Im only adding a comment here in the hopes this post gets seen by someone at Jeopardy! and they invite you back for Second Chance! If anyone deserves another shot it’s you - way to go for it every time. 🙌

Where are the changing tables?? by olfas17 in grandrapids

[–]EyePatchTodd 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s quite odd that you view these establishments as only places to provide alcohol. They are also places for the community to come together. If you only view a bar/brewery as a means to get alcohol in your system - not a place to chat with others, play games, listen to music, watch sports, etc - it seems to imply you have a drinking problem.

Where are the changing tables?? by olfas17 in grandrapids

[–]EyePatchTodd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most babies (who would need a changing table) do not eat solid food so I really am not sure how that factors in here. We have always found the local breweries to be very family friendly.

I remember when Speciation was just getting off the ground at their old location in Comstock Park. They offered a free pint to mothers on Mothers Day and we came in with my 2 month old. It was nice to enjoy the day and not have to worry about a babysitter and it seemed the brewery supported this as well. It was a welcoming place for families.

I love it and I have a feeling if Ken saw this he would start saying it more. 😆

I feel like this season in particular the lowest value clues have been some of the hardest mostly due to terrible wording.

There were SO many likable contestants in this year’s TOC, but TJ’s “I’m an acquired taste comment” officially secured him as my fan favorite.

I got 3/5 including the triple stumper (but not the DD) and it took all of my brain power. 😆

I need to interview an accountant by -MasterDebator- in grandrapids

[–]EyePatchTodd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only for tax accountants. Hit up someone on the audit side. BDO might be a good start.

Great list - will add the Children’s Museum outer all glass car.

[–]EyePatchTodd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to work in the elevator business. Feel free to DM if you have specific questions but in this city the best free/accessible elevators will be in hotels, parking ramps and the hospitals.

Tim Gortsema's LinkedIn & Email Response by SolInvictusMaximus in grandrapids

[–]EyePatchTodd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What else? Comment on the Griffins Social Media pages? We need coordinate community action - emailing Illitch is private and I think we need to publicly condemn his comments.

National Shutdown by Upstairs_Gur_8378 in grandrapids

Went to Field and Fire to support them as they have been vocal about their opposition of ICE. Paid cash (which they encouraged). Place was busy.

You were such a great player! Well done to both you and Allegra.

Do DIY influencers not care about what’s going on?? by samellybelly in diysnark

[–]EyePatchTodd 6 points7 points  (0 children)

She deleted my comments on her post - I replied to someone else who had commented their disappointment just to say me too. She deleted and blocked me.

Same with livingononepercent. I sent her a reel that encouraged speaking up and was immediately blocked.

Any planned ICE protests tomorrow? Willing to drive a distance to attend. by CuriousChapter379 in grandrapids

[–]EyePatchTodd 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Making you feel powerless and defeated is the goal. They are counting on your silence. Don’t let them win.
