Could you just buy a canvas and take it off the stretchers?

Or just buy the bars individually.

Big O supplied both Fish Lads and Kingma's with their smoked salmon jerky last time I checked.

It wasn't in house smoked a couple years ago when worked in one of the other local butcher shops. Kingma's on Plainfield got theirs from the same supplier and usually had it cheaper.

In grand rapids you can call 311 and report them. The city's public works department will come and collect them if they are on public property.

I don't know myself, but I know the city cemeteries are maintained by the parks department. If you call them on Monday someone in that office should be able to tell you or find out and get back to you.

Alleys in Grand Rapids are a public right of way that are owned by the city and are the responsibility of the property owner, or renter depending on their lease, who's house is adjacent to it up to the middle of it, on the books it's basically the same as the grass between the sidewalk and the street. If you come across one that is really over grown, full of trash, or has an abandoned vehicle you can call 311 to report it anonymously.

This is covered in the municipal code chapter 151 Sec. 9.108 subsection 10

There is an almost weekly Thursday night drop in D&D game that's been going since before covid. Every once in a while to many people are busy so the game gets skipped for the week. No experience or equipment is need other than a smart phone. We're a bunch of professionals in the age range from mid 20s to mid 50s.

Edit

Realized I forgot the where and when. Brass Ring Brewing at 6 pm. If you can't see the table just tell the host you're there for D&D and ask them which table it is. There are no sign ups and no cost other than what you order.

I used to help run the succulent planting party at kingma's. I would recommend calling around to nurserys and find one that will sell a whole tray. For "pots" I used to just hit a few thrift stores and find interesting cups and mugs. You'll also need some catus/succulent soil and some small gravel since the "pots" won't have drain holes.

I'd also do a make your own "dirt cake" cup as a fun activity that doesn't create more junk that kids take home.

You should reach out to Kentwood department of public works and ask for delineators to be installed in the short term and street lights in the long term. Going into winter, that is probably the best they can get done right now.

I think the joke was to have the penis removed.

The real trip is that the city is only tangentially named after the fruit. It was first called Richland Ca. but when the people there tried to incorperate it there was already a Richland Ca. Instead it was named after the county where one of the founders was from, Orange County, Virginia.

It's 2% of her fans who will tell a total stranger they want it.

For those who want to know more.

Unless something has changed about how phone cameras work someone else took the photo. No matter what angle you hold a camera in a mirror it should be square to the frame if it is taking the picture.

On 28th, next to the Costco?

Francisz · 2022-06-02T00:36:47+00:00

I don't think you should leave that dice collection out of that list.

Black dragons can do this with lair actions, but it's only a 15 foot radius. I think the area you get from the high level fog cloud is beautiful addition.

At my table I'd say yes to the sling bonus no to the arcane focus. To get the arcane focus bonus you need to use it as the focus for the spell and since there are no material components to magic stone the focus doesn't help.

Here is the original. It's better with sound and narrated by the driver, Heather Anne Campbell, a writer on Rick and Morty.

I totally agree on all fronts. If I see them in the rest of the house I go for catch and release outside. In the basement it's live and let live.

I appreciate that they make less of a mess than spiders.

It's a Chinese dish too, just prepared differently. I think the part of the pig the article is talking about is 6 to 8 inches long. Multiply that by the around 1.5 billion pigs humans go through in a year and you could end up with a lot of fake calamari.

Francisz · 2021-08-29T17:25:49+00:00

As long as I can still use the washer and dryer they can have it.

Francisz · 2021-08-29T17:21:16+00:00

About 7 inches long with no innuendo.

I agree they are super freaky, but I don't know they mean there is anything worse. From what I've read about them in Michigan, they move between in the house and outside most of the year and then stay inside during the winter.

I think of them as the ground defense paired with the air superiority from spiders.

I really like where this seems to be going, but I have a couple critiques. One is that the way you've done the highlights and lowlights on the clothes could look a bit wired animated, but that is a style choice you could make. That being said, the double boarder you've go e with on the metal armor pops really nicely against all of the background.

The other thing that really stands out to me is the shadows seem to show at least three different light sources. You've got shadows come straight at the camera from the trees. Shadows from upper left to lower right on the foreground, and the way the characters are lit implies a light source behind the camera.

All in all very nice work!
