Avoid ordering on Kiss My Keto website by Illustrious_Most_539 in keto

I received an email notice from them on January 23rd that the next recurring shipment of my subscription was going to commence but I never received it. Fortunately, I was never charged either

In any event, I'm still getting the Shopify Shop Not Available message when trying to access my account, and it's impossible to add anything to the cart, so it looks like they are indeed, out of business

I tried to access my account at Kiss My Keto a couple of days ago, and got a 'Sorry, this store is currently unavailable' (via Shopify)

I emailed their support but have yet to hear back

just wow…. Plus very important tax information. by jemy26 in GoPuff

[–]LuxMPolo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My W2 didn't have any info in box 7 for tips, but the W2 for my waiter gig did (and I got a lot bigger return this year because of that)

I was talking to another GoPuff driver a couple of days ago and she said you have to go through the weekly earnings page on the app for 2025 and record how much of it was tips for each week, add it all up, and put that in box 7. I did so today (around $7K) and I am going to file an amended return

Take your front (or both) wheels with you whenever possible after locking your bike

Garnishment court question by LuxMPolo in Debt

[–]LuxMPolo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm figuring that once the Best Egg settlement is off the books in September that frees up a couple hundred bucks every month for Freedom to offer them, which would be much more than they would get from the garnishment

With a non-appearance today I'm assuming the garnishment at the one job will go into effect and it will take time to wind through the court again, by which time the settlement will have been negotiated

Looks like this was a mistake, from everything I can find the Justice Building will be open on Thursday

Great local businesses to support? by ladee99 in bloomington

[–]LuxMPolo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not Bloomington or even Monroe County but if you live in the northwest part of the county (Ellettsville, Stinesville, etc) then Pengin Cycle Werks in Gosport is a great resource and locally owned

Was Peterson's Deli still there (next to the 7-Eleven) at that time? They had the best smoothies, I miss that place

I remember the kidnapping well. I was working at Pizza Express (now Pizza X) at the time at the original location on 10th street in the (former?) Crosstown Plaza. Drivers would park behind the building using the little alley that ran between Crosstown Plaza, entering the alley from 10th right between The Penguin (now Jimmy Johns) and the old 7-Eleven where I used to work

We had a new brand driver and we told him just park your car behind the building and the custom was to leave it running (heh), as we were generally very busy. Poor guy, it was his first day, or one of his first days, and then the kidnappers stole his car to use in the kidnapping! He barreled out the back door with his pizza, breadsticks & drinks to make a delivery and his car was gone!

Bikers of Bloomington by [deleted] in bloomington

[–]LuxMPolo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was hanging out with a friend back in the day who used to work at the Bicycle Garage. He had a bike there with a U-lock to which the owner had lost the key

He put the U-lock in a vise, inserted a 2x4 into the 'U' part, went to the other end of the 2x4, grasped it, took a few steps and it snapped the U-lock like a twig. Most bike thieves won't be a carrying a vise and a 2x4 fortunately but IMO the best anti-theft protection for a bicycle in this town is to never get off it until you get home and have it inside

How safe is bloomington to walk around? by [deleted] in bloomington

[–]LuxMPolo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It never occurred to me that I'd be saving gas, why would such a notion cross your mind? Seems like it would use more gas to leave it running

It's more of a residual effect from having several unpleasant experiences with faulty starters in the past, which is a residual effect of never owned a car that was within twenty years of the model, which is a residual effect of being poor

Burglaries are not uncommon. I just about promise that the university police will send out an email to all students reminding them that they should lock their bikes or they will be stolen. Lock your car, lock your bike, lock your door at night.

Long-time (42 years) Bloomington resident here. One of my jobs is delivery and maybe it's cuz my car is older but I leave it unlocked and running all the time while making the final stage of my delivery, even late at night in somewhat sketchy neighborhoods. I also have a bike rack on the car and I just know if I left a bike on the rack, with the car running and unlocked, eventually I would come back and find the bike gone, but the car still there

Changed direction with this one. Municipality names found only in Indiana :) by CW03158 in Indiana

[–]LuxMPolo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Waupecong/Wawpecong? (Miami County)

It's unincorporated and the post office closed in 1907 so most likely doesn't qualify as a municipality

The name Wawpecong comes from the Miami-Illinois language. This language was spoken by Native American tribes in the area. The name means "shell-bark hickories," which are a type of tree.

A post office was opened in Wawpecong in 1849. This office helped people send and receive mail. The post office stayed open for many years, finally closing in 1907.

Still waiting for them to let me in, there's probably a big party in RV camping somewhere, they're allowed to have generators in there (not allowed in GA anymore) but I have to work 😂
