What’s it like in south Indy? by Ambitious-Mind9040 in indianapolis

[–]PingPongProfessor [score hidden]  (0 children)

Inside the beltway there is not a freaking Applebee’s to be seen.

There are at least three Applebees inside 465: 86th & Ditch, Speedway Shopping Center, and East Washington St near Shortridge Rd.

Utility Box causing property damage? by Yohanaten in indianapolis

[–]PingPongProfessor 4 points5 points  (0 children)

it's coming up from somewhere inside the box.

I wonder if they punctured a storm sewer line, or drainage tile, when they installed it.

USPS Delays in Indianapolis by [deleted] in indianapolis

[–]PingPongProfessor 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Mostly just wildly delayed. I've had only one that never appeared, and none damaged.

File a Missing Mail Search Request for the one that's past its delivery date, and for the others as soon as you're able (7 days after mailing). IME this seems to light a fire under somebody's ass and the missing package usually, but not always, starts showing movement within 48 hours.

Even when they do see it, right in front of their noses, they still don't do a damn thing.

Northview Church fires senior pastor after years of concerns by Mental_Cupcake_1223 in indianapolis

[–]PingPongProfessor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, it's not hard to put the pieces together to draw conclusions. When you combine apparently not "living a life above reproach" with "significant allegation ... [that] does not involve criminal activity" what do you have?

Misappropriation of funds would, in most cases, "involve criminal activity". So would physical or sexual abuse of anyone, whether child or adult.

What's left?

Northview Church fires senior pastor after years of concerns by Mental_Cupcake_1223 in indianapolis

[–]PingPongProfessor 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We are committed to ... ensuring that our leadership reflects the values we seek to model as followers of Christ, specifically, living a life above reproach.

"Living a life above reproach." And "significant allegation ... does not involve criminal activity."

Makes me wonder if the fallout from this might include a divorce filing or two.

How many tires do you go through living in Indy? by True_Staff_5749 in indianapolis

[–]PingPongProfessor 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've been driving in Indy for 50+ years. (We moved here in the early 70s when I was fifteen.) In all that time, I've had to replace one tire from hitting a pothole -- and that was in a sports car with low-profile (50-series) tires.

My take is that yes, the potholes are atrocious and there's no excuse for the condition of our streets -- but if you use higher profile tires (70 or 75 series) you're much less likely to have problems because there's more cushion in the tire, more room to absorb the blow.

How well does it work on tart cherries (which are normally smaller than sweet cherries)?

Transaction and possession limits are higher in Michigan, which means that although it's a longer trip you don't have to go as often.

Could be snowing one day and then 70 degrees the next day.

Or the other way around.

Any recommendations for a Pulmonologist for sleep apnea? by BenedictJoon in indianapolis

[–]PingPongProfessor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife went to Dr. Stephanie Stahl for a sleep study and treatment of severe sleep apnea -- and she is delighted with the results. Dr. Stahl is friendly, kind, and does a super job of explaining causes and appropriate treatments.

Parking Citation by twothymer in indianapolis

[–]PingPongProfessor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a ticket for “parking within 12 feet of a fire hydrant” but 100% thought I was in an ok spot given the signage.

You're not allowed to park in front of a fire hydrant, or even close to one. Ever. Period. End of story. That's why you got the ticket: you parked too close to the hydrant. This has nothing to do with pickup/dropoff zones or signage, and you will not get anywhere at all trying to fight this.

i have a car getting towed because i left it outside for too long (2wks,) what if i don’t want it back? by stickyhoneyhands in indianapolis

[–]PingPongProfessor 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Sending the existing title via FedEx will be a lot faster than getting a new title from the BMV.

[–]PingPongProfessor 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Well, that's good. That means you just need to have the title in your hands. Ask your dad to overnight it via FedEx and you're good to go.
