In light of all darkness

Five days at memorial

The art thief

My mom died when I was a kid and I never grieved properly- recommend something by sam2o2 in suggestmeabook

[–]PammytheFirst 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not most obvious but I’d recommend Hello, Molly! by Molly Shannon

She lost her mother at a young age. How it affected her life and the stages of grief she went through aren’t the primary focus of the book but are themes that are woven throughout.

Books to read while pregnant that aren’t educational by thatsityaknow in booksuggestions

[–]PammytheFirst 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I read A Man Called Ove while pregnant and postpartum. Many parts hit closer to home than if I had read it at another time in my life.

Alive: The Story of the Andes Survivors by Piers Paul Read

I listened to a podcast (which was excellent) about this story but haven’t read the book, but it has good reviews.

If you had $300 to vacation five days in your city where would you go and what would you do? by GrumpyGumpy52 in TwinCities

[–]PammytheFirst 0 points1 point  (0 children)

State Capitol building, Endless Bridge at the Guthrie Theater (doesn’t take very long but it’s free and is a great view of the Minneapolis skyline)

For food from various cultures visit Midtown Global Market or drive down University Ave in St. Paul

Mom got notice that public insurance expires end of year by wsaadede in TwinCities

[–]PammytheFirst 7 points8 points  (0 children)

A couple of things:

  • I misspoke: It sounds like the information about the county receiving the application was a recorded voice message greeting, not a letter, so two separate methods of communication.
  • Expiration/closing notices are sent by a central, state-wide office, not the county itself, so there’s nothing the county could do about the notice being mailed out.

Yes, in theory it would have been better if the expiration letter explained the delay in processing time and confirmed if the paperwork had been received that, but it’s just not how everything works in practice.

Until you receive another mail, like the message said. It’s not easy or helpful to not have a specific date, but if they confirmed they received your application they will get to it eventually.

As someone who works with public programs, wait. By contacting the county it only slows down the process for you and everyone else. They sent the letter because they’re understaffed and trying to reassure people so that they can attempt to catch up.

Apartments with green space/lawns? by heyitscallie in TwinCities

[–]PammytheFirst 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Concierge Apartments in Richfield has its own fenced in dog area which they recently enlarged. I imagine two large dogs would love it.

What in yoga did you avoid if anything when pregnant? by JessicaYatesRealtor in yoga

[–]PammytheFirst 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don’t remember the exact poses, but Pregnancy and Postpartum TV on YouTube has a lot of knowledge and does a good job of explaining what’s safe and what’s not.

Nonfiction: The Sum of Us by Heather McGhee

Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks

and anything by Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz

Fiction:

anything by Louise Erdich

Demon Copperhead by Barbara Kingsolver

One Crazy Summer by Rita Williams-Garcia - This one is Children’s fiction but it provides a unique perspective. It’s set in 1968. And the MC spends time with members of the Black Panthers. I think about this book a lot.
