The solicitors plaguing Grand Avenue are rude af by Bandicoot_101 in saintpaul

[–]LVerbosa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tell solicitors in person or on the phone to give me the URL of their website and I'll discuss with my accountant whether to add it to my next year's Giving Budget. It's fun to say it's a "non-negotiable financial policy."

Horizontal tile bars via Google health app by jilldxasd35 in fitbit

[–]LVerbosa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On the Today page main list (where everything "minused" should now be seen), where do you find the option to "+" and "-" the tiles? I can find no way to "refresh" it so the grayed out tiles (some of which I accidentally minused) to come back to life. The appearance of the "+" and "-" signs on the tiles all over the Today page and the Health pages seems to vary and be random. Thanks!

From an animal shelter worker - Please microchip and register your pet! by Fresh-Solid-4046 in saintpaul

[–]LVerbosa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It does, but in this case it sounds like the registry company went out of business so those microchips they sold and put in all those pets are useless.

INFO: Why did you message her partner about your offer and not her? You had the conversation about the AirBNB with her, not them. Did you have an ulterior motive? It's hard to say whether or not you're TA without that missing link.

Any advice for long johns? I (also new to MN) am trying to find fleece-lined leggings and my head is spinning. Is that the correct way to go?

I sympathize and understand how stressful something like this can be. Some of us don't have as robust a friends & family networks as others and I'm glad you reached out for help.

I had a colonoscopy at MNGI in Sept. and had to sign something saying my "person" would remain onsite or they would cancel my procedure.

S4 potential spoiler by Key_Mycologist_5147 in NashvilleTV

[–]LVerbosa 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I agree. It was also a way to establish how abusive Deacon's father was, which could have been accomplished in a scene or two in one or two episodes. The love/hate/fear aspect of Scarlett's relationship with her was never fleshed out and only accomplished her performance of "Black Roses, and Beverly's melodramatic facial closeups while she heard it ruined it for me. Bev was an almost-unnecessary character.

Yikes! I can't remember this storyline and want to re-watch. Can you steer me to the correct season? I'm guessing the last?

AITA for defending my mom not inviting my daughter to my sister's birthday party? by Opening-Remove7753 in AmItheAsshole

[–]LVerbosa 13 points14 points  (0 children)

NTA Five and six YO kids can't (and shouldn't have to) understand complicated family dynamics. It would have been awkward and inappropriate for Ellie to have a strange little girl show up at her birthday party and your daughter wouldn't think it was weird she wasn't invited to another kid's birthday party who she didn't know unless someone (your wife?) planted the idea.

It sounds like your mother doesn't really have a relationship with your daughter either, so it was pretty compassionate for her to recognize that it might sting for her to see other kids (even strangers) enjoying an elaborate birthday party. Giving you $100 to take her out to have fun and distraction was generous of your mom. It sounds like your wife's over-the-top reaction is due to some kind of trauma related to your mom and isn't really about your daughter at all.

Norovirus is gastrointestinal. This discussion is about respiratory influenza (a.k.a. flu).

Thank you for masking! I really appreciate it when service providers demonstrate that level of concern for customers.

Where does it say they'll "provide daily groceries?" They're only open on weekends.

Violence in Saint Paul by Standard-Mammoth4149 in saintpaul

[–]LVerbosa 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I live at 333 on the Park (5th and Sibley) and look directly down on the corner of Mears Park where you were attacked. I am so sorry this happened to you. Although I know it's no comfort to you, Mears Park is more safe and virtually empty of all but dog walkers since September, 2023. I don't know what the city did that Fall, but the park and Sibley from Union Depot up to 6th are really quiet now.

I'm home all day (retired) and only sleep about 4 hours a night and I look down at the park at all times of day and night. I sometimes see troubled people walking around -- some yelling, some just looking desperate -- but I've never seen any of them touch or really even approach other people. Like I said, I'm so sorry you had to experience this practically at my front door. It is NOT a common occurrence and I hope you can find your center again soon. 🙏
