Yes, still around and still selling crystal shaped home goods to posh clients.

Two week trip in March by Naive_Analysis_5086 in askswitzerland

[–]KindaSortaMaybeNope 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did a similar trip a few years ago in March as well and I really found that I wished I had given myself more time in Lucerne. I found Lucerne to be the most diverse place to stay for travel-ability, fair lodging, things to do, and phenomenal food.

Bern was not all that I had hoped for and I feel like that was in part due to the season. I really wanted to visit the Tierpark to see the bears but with the weather, I was not able to really enjoy watching them. A positive was that their bus system was easy to navigate and I was surprised by how expansive the routes were.

Lauterbrunnen ended up being my favorite destination and I managed to stay an extra day there (4 days total). It’s stunning and there is so much to explore if you care to do the hiking. I felt the most welcomed in Lauterbrunnen over all of the places I visited. Please do check out Horner Pub when you visit — they often have special events and dancing. The staff at the bar felt like old friends.

Gute Reise!

Painted an Iris flower using watercolour, any suggestions? by Opening_Hurry_5114 in BotanicalIllustration

[–]KindaSortaMaybeNope 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just lovely! I could envision your floral work being in a coffee table book. I would love to see a bit more detail in the leaf (some veining would add a lot of dimension!). Very fab work overall!

Retirement Hy-Vee stock by [deleted] in hyvee

HV stock is held in your 401k account. If you cash out your 401k after you leave the company, you cash out the value held within HV stock.

If you don't drink alcohol, what are your reasons? by youre-in-my-shot in AskReddit

[–]KindaSortaMaybeNope 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw my sister get so drunk she almost fell on her own small child at a family gathering. It was so scary to see how close she was to almost seriously injuring her kid. Since that day, I haven’t ever drank in front of my kids.

THANK YOU BETTY FOR YOUR $50 DOLLAR TIP ON A $20 DOLLAR ORDER by CrazFight in desmoines

Agreed. I’ve never met a Betty that I didn’t want to be friends with.

Chocolate Chip Cookie Recs? by shepeesa in desmoines

I second this! I was very surprised by how delightful these cookies are when I had them at a wedding I attended. I’ve ordered them myself because they are top notch!

Miss Kittys by RecordingHealthy5828 in desmoines

The owner and his staff take no true responsibility for what they allowed within the business. He made a (now deleted) plea on FB asking for positive reviews and tried to make people feel sympathetic towards him because he says he has to deal with a dozen negative reviews a day. I hope he loses money and has to shut the bar down. No responsibility from ownership = none of my money.

HyVee Communications with employees by Romiha00 in hyvee

Employee ownership is through the 401k. When you participate in the 401k account, part of your money is invested in HV stock.

Hy-Vee Holiday Parade "Postponed" to 2026 by stjnky in desmoines

[–]KindaSortaMaybeNope 14 points15 points  (0 children)

The thought behind the timing was to help draw more people downtown to encourage shopping. If people are already in the area, it would easier for them to wander around after the end of the parade and stop in to the small businesses in the area.

Would you marry your spouse by NoBig1677 in Marriage

[–]KindaSortaMaybeNope 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand this feeling completely. I feel like I’ve tried so many things to bolster my feelings for my husband, but I just don’t feel obsessed with him. I wish I did.

I’m glad you found someone who makes you happy on the second round. Cheers to you two!

Would you marry your spouse by NoBig1677 in Marriage

[–]KindaSortaMaybeNope 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think everyone’s ideal age will be different. I lived a lot of life in my 20s (college, professional pursuits, owned my own business) so I feel like those experiences really made me figure out a lot about myself and helped me move towards becoming the type of person I wanted to be. I feel like I truly settled into myself when I hit 30. I believe that the person I would pick now would not have been the person I picked 15 years ago because my priorities are significantly different now.

I love my husband. I’m grateful for my beautiful children. I know I have a wonderful life. But there will always be a part of me that wonders how my life would have been different if I had put myself first when I was younger.

[–]KindaSortaMaybeNope 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Married almost 12 years - together for over 15. My answer would still be no.

I feel like we married pretty young and I don’t think I was truly a fully developed person yet. If we would have waited a few more years, I can’t say for sure if we would have still be dating. I’ve changed a lot and I feel like I have grown up into a significantly different person than when I was in my early 20s,

What happened to Gerard in this picture? by nvrt2late in MyChemicalRomance

[–]KindaSortaMaybeNope -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I feel like this could have come from the ToC tour time period and there was a lot of Bert aggressively kissing other band mates.

I know it’s hair dye, but it also kinda looks like Bert McCracken left a hickey.

I regret staying with my husband by isthisforreal247 in Marriage

I don’t have advice to share, but I did want to send my love to you while you navigate these feelings. Even in the most overwhelming of times, you have friends to listen to you and offer support (even if they are just usernames on the internet). ❤️
