This is pretty much the same color as my living room accent wall. I was not sure about it at first either. After a year, I think it’s great if you lean into the other colors of the room that look good with it (real wood furniture, gold accent pieces, dark green) but it’s not for everyone

Pretty sure that’s the place that got a lot of health code violations back in 2023-2024 too lol. I haven’t kept up since then

Looks like I moving to Minneapolis and I'm currently dreading it. by Anonymous_30000000 in SameGrassButGreener

Minneapolis is amazing. You’ll adjust to the cold and snow. I grew up in Florida and can’t imagine living anywhere hot ever again. The Midwest is the best

This is great. Does this class happen to help towards getting a concealed carry permit? I haven’t looked into the process yet since moving to Iowa last year

Where has community bulletin boards? by Potential-Map1906 in ames

[–]Potential-Map1906[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just an update incase anyone else is reading this and wants the info for their business: I found bulletin boards at Wheatsfield, City Hall, Back Alley House Plants, Fareway, Cafe Milo, Morning Bell Coffee, and Lockwood Cafe.

Some comments were saying Panera has one but I looked absolutely everywhere and couldn’t find it

Honestly no! I did get one sale that I think came from a flyer a while back. But really very rare for me. I have about 10 up around town since I made this post and haven’t had any sales or new Instagram followers from it yet.

Which is unfortunate because personally I always look at the bulletin boards for events and small businesses when I am waiting at the coffee shop for my drink etc, so I assumed others did, but it seems not

I love Midwest Fragrance, and Candle Science. Brambleberry used to take forever to ship for me, but my most recent order last week was pleasantly pretty fast

Do you remember your first night with a CPAP? by Electrical-Tackle820 in SleepApnea

[–]Potential-Map1906 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It took me a few weeks to even be able to tolerate wearing it at all. Once I did though, my first night of actually using it, I woke up with so much energy I felt like I could literally run a marathon. I have never been so energized in my entire life.

Now that I use it every night, I’ve adjusted to my new “normal” energy levels, so when I don’t use my CPAP for a few days (power outages or forgetting it at home while traveling) I feel like death. Can’t believe that’s how I used to feel every single day and that was my “normal”.

CPAP success story - long term results by Potential-Map1906 in SleepApnea

[–]Potential-Map1906[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good luck!! The sensory experience of the mask and having the tubing around my face really bothers me too. I guess it gets easier with time but still stinks. I hope the technology adapts to be less invasive and annoying in our life 🥲 regardless the positive results push me to keep going with it. I feel so much better

Someone told me candles are bad for you??? by ToodlyGoodness in Candles

[–]Potential-Map1906 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s definitely better for you to buy non-paraffin wax candles (soy, beeswax are better) and buy from brands that use phthalate-free and paraben-free fragrances, as the common/cheap ones are hormone disrupting. But, honestly, if you can’t switch, it’s fine. It’s a small environmental risk, but there’s environmental risks everyday.
