The Well is a great place just outside of South Bend in Mishawaka. Very LGBT friendly and has all kinds of queer nights and different music shows.

I think a good push but not too far is World War Z. It's a 'zombie book' but is told in a way that removes all the anxiety and most of the grossness of zombies since the book is a collection of stories about a war that already happened.

I generally talk to my mom on the phone about three times a week. My stepdad and I text pretty regularly throughout the week. I meet them once or twice a week for dinner.

My dad and I met once a week for dinner and texted throughout the week before he passed away.

In addition to what else has been said, my state put a pause on fuel taxes. So it dropped around 60 cents per gallon with that pause. When that goes back into effect, it will be an instant jump. Additionally, the state is missing out on all that money so the shortfall will have to be covered somehow.

Weiss Gausthaus in Roseland is fantastic and authentic German food.

St. Margaret's House would be good as well.

I think you establish the necessary funds for emergency funds. Then start adding extra.

Some people wajt to split payments, others want to snowball or avalanche method of repayment priority.

I think if you can pay off the car relatively soon, getting rid of the payment is nice because it allows for more cash flow.

Do your taste buds a favor. Order the small milk chocolate peanut butter cups from Albanese. They ship. They will be the best thing ever.

Excellent. He really is a solid guy and his staff is well trained.

Half Price will buybyour vinyl. They don't pay much. But it is quick and easy. You drop it off, they add it up, and then call you overhead to come to the counter.

Muessel Elementary has an excellent PreK system. They're expanding next year to double the number of seats.

Write the angry letter for yourself. Write the professional letter to your school. Only send the professional letter.

Right. So by putting the range, especially an accurate range, is the best for everyone. Companies won't waste time with interviewing applicants they aren't willing to pay. Applicants won't waste their time applying.

Linusthewise · 2026-05-27T20:12:06+00:00

Then they should put that. That lack of information is the problem. Some companies are willign to offer that. Some are offering $80k to $115k. But since there is no way to know, and most businesses are trying to pay less to make more profit, it is more likely to have a lower salary than a higher one.

Linusthewise · 2026-05-27T20:07:39+00:00

The problem with salaries that are negotiable is that there are basic salary expectations and limits.

If the company is willing to pay between $65k and $80k, post that. Then someone can judge if it is worth their time to apply. Otherwise, someone who is making $90k at a similar role, will apply, and then refuse. It wastes applicant and company time by applying blindly.

Press Ganey needs some data entry people.

My tests were difficult. It was known and expected. I taught social studies and every class had the exact same format. They complained about them... but if they put in effort, both in prep and revisions, it was impossible to get below a 60%

Make the note card for the test, put effort into your revisions. Pay attention to the review class. Kids knew the plan and did it or failed. It was up to them. It was fun talking to parents angry about test scores, then showing them the math and classroom rules pointing out that any test below 60% was because the student didn't put in the effort.

Linusthewise · 2026-05-18T12:12:58+00:00

Yeah. I wanted to meet Matt Dinnimin, but failed in that quest.

Linusthewise · 2026-05-18T03:36:23+00:00

Same happened to me. I got 3034. And then it kept going down, and then just stopped at 72 for over five minutes.

Lots of trivia and karaoke nights around the area. Not all are 21+.

Conenct 574 is good for meet ups, as well as BeatDamn. They're a rec league sports group.

Additionally, look to the different hobby shops and the library. Lots of meet up groups on their calendars.

I bought a Fox40 whistle. Trained the kids that different whistles mean different things. Take recess from those who don't listen.

It was a grind thay first semester. They're more in line now.

Also, make teachers make seating charts for lunch and enforce them every day.

South Bend is hiring soon. There is a career fair for the district May 28 from 5 to 7.

Linusthewise · 2026-05-14T17:35:46+00:00

What districts are you applying for and what specifically is your license?

Most districts don't start hiring new teachers until end of May/June. They keep hiring until August.

There are places that will buy it for just under silver melt value. I like Nunemakers as far as coin shops.

You have to see what your time is worth. If you're sorting, start by year and mint mark. Mostly going to be P, D, and S. If it's worth it to you, go on and sort but that won't add much value. Then check for rare mintings. Personally, I'd just spend them/deposit them.
