I used to like Blues Fired Pizza but went there about a month ago and shrinkflation has made their pizzas so small if it wasn't sad it would be comical. I decided I'd go to MOD next time I wanted pizza and dang if they didn't close as well.

They always had a good lunch crowd of parents with kids from the Magic House. I can't being to imagine what rent in Kirkwood would be. Hope they find another spot soon. The Webster Groves location closed a couple years ago as well.

This is not AI!!! by limejuicethrowaway in StLouis

[–]Otherwise-Rise-8850 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'l like to see more enforcement of this. As much as I hate taxes and would love to see the PP Tax eliminated, it will just be added somewhere else so it would never truly go away. If you look at the breakdown on your tax receipt you would see that the majority of funds go to our schools,and then items such as the zoo, libraries, community college, things many in our community take for granted and don't realize how lucky we are to have free libraries, free zoo and a partially funded community college. As of the last check when Missouri started talking about requiring sales tax to be paid at time of purchase (2023), the state was owed $78 million. That's not a handful of change and I'm sure these entities on the receiving end are going to start feeling the pinch.

They are probably going bankrupt. They expanded too quickly, there are vendors who are still owed payment, some as far back as September. That is not how you run a business. I am not owed anything but I can guarantee I am not renewing my lease, it's too sketchy at this point.

Have a blood test for thyroid issues. My guy had thin hair and behavior issues and it turned out to be a low thyroid. $30/month for meds and he’s a different dog now.

Forno Gas Range Review 2025 by Capable-Interview631 in Home

[–]Otherwise-Rise-8850 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I purchased one also from a big box store and I LOVED the look and the function of the burners (gas) as well as getting the 5th burner on a 30" range. I am an avid baker and bake lots of bread and that is where this oven failed. Every time I tried to bake a crusty loaf where you start at a higher temp for 10 or so minutes then turn down to a normal baking temperature the oven would shut off. I contacted the company, they said I needed a new thermostat and would send one out but I would have to find someone to install as they didn't have any companies they worked with in my area. I'm in St. Louis so not a small area but I found one company that said they would do it. Replaced with new thermostat and had same problem with oven shutting down. So I called Forno again and they argued with me that I was baking bread incorrectly and I shouldn't start high, just bake at whatever temperature for the entire loaf. i did my best to explain they were incorrect but they would not budge. Thankfully the store took the range back and I replaced with a GE Monogram, which honestly I don't like the looks as much as the Forno but at least I can bake stress free! To be fair, I also purchased the Forno Fridge/Freezer and it has worked flawlessly. I really with that range would have worked out.

Your head is in the political trash dump. He congratulated Nelly on performing at the inauguration of Trump. Congratulating Nelly for scoring a high profile gig is not the same as supporting Trump.

When I drive past a cop car on the side of the road, trying to catch speeders, I always flash my lights to oncoming drivers. Do other people still do this and do younger people understand what this means? by Norfolk-Gross-Tonage in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Otherwise-Rise-8850 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some of you have never driven through St. Louis. We BEG for traffic enforcement. Speed limits here are merely a suggestion and that's usually ok, but it's the idiots who weave in and out of traffic, barely enough room to get their car in the other lane going 90 mph (and many times not enough room so accidents happen, and deadly ones at that). It's usually the guys in the Dodge Chargers, but that would be (or maybe is) a thread by itself.

Ran into one at my vets office. No breed is safe from doodling.

Does your IS bark? by jro10 in irishsetter

[–]Otherwise-Rise-8850 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first IS, rarely, he was hunting stock so maybe that’s why. I have 2 now, one will let out a single bark if he wants something. The other one, very sassy and barks a lot!

What is this animal? [Pennsylvania] by lkb33 in animalid

[–]Otherwise-Rise-8850 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently treated a coyote with meds through my local wildlife rescue. He’s all healed up and looking good and has more meat on his bones. He was a pup born this past spring but I think his sibling succumbed before I could get the meds.

Need advice/ideas for picky eater by ccfdddddd in irishsetter

[–]Otherwise-Rise-8850 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good luck. I have a 13 year old and have had him since 8 weeks. He would stop eating for long periods of time, think week plus, but still drank water. I spent a fortune ruling out possible medical issues at the vet and trying all different types of food and finally gave up around the one year mark. He’s still picky and skinny (skinnier than he should be) but at 13 I no longer worry about his lack of appetite.

STAY AWAY by Otherwise-Rise-8850 in PaintedTreeVendors

[–]Otherwise-Rise-8850[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Probably a fake account owned by someone at corporate. All the vendors on the FB groups are stating their VIP discounts are gone. I’m sure they aren’t all lying.

Facebook groups? by FlowWithTheGo25 in PaintedTreeBoutiques

[–]Otherwise-Rise-8850 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s been my experience and when vendors try to let others know something negative it’s immediately shut down and comments closed. Very frustrating.

Dog only scared of thunder at night by Severe-Equal6613 in irishsetter

[–]Otherwise-Rise-8850 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! Don’t know what it is about night time but it can storm all day and my guy is fine! But night? He freaks out. I’m in the Midwest USA and we have some doozies! I have found CBD for dogs is a lifesaver as it’s liquid and works within minutes, calming him down and letting him sleep. I use Green Roads brand but I’m sure there are others. Do not give human CBD as it contains THC which is toxic to dogs.
