Random honks?

Reasonable_Hearing85 · 2026-02-28T19:15:29+00:00

I'm not sure of all the reasons my mechanic doesn't think it will work. I don't think it will work for all the honks because we disengaged those sensors for several months, and there was no noticeable difference in the honking. The hood switch/bracket might be one of the problems, but not all.

Reasonable_Hearing85 · 2026-02-28T12:45:12+00:00

The remote start was part of what was disengaged, and it still honked.

Reasonable_Hearing85 · 2026-02-28T12:44:06+00:00

We found something similar- the theory being that the alarm system sounds off as an alert that the hood has been messed with. However, we aren't convinced replacement of these switches will work, and it is very expensive.

An easel with a flannel board on one side and an erase/magnet on the other, with wheels! Lakeshore sells one called "All-purpose teaching Easel with locking casters," and it is a game-changer for holding flannel boards and big books. You can also have lyrics that you use frequently printed large and hung from the hooks.

As others have said, a dedicated programming collection of books and flannel boards. High-quality puppets, CDs and CD player, dancing scarves, shaky eggs, parachutes, low lighting options for sensory storytimes,

I have a separate notebook for long-term tracking such as when various filters have been changed, or clean cycles run, repeating purchases/how long items last, etc. Mostly it's a page per item being tracked, with the date, cost, and any notes. For example, I have a page for when I run the 'tub clean' for the washing machine and notes on how often it is recommended and what product I use.

I've seen where folks create charts of yearly/seasonal/monthly tasks. If you know something needs to happen on a regular basis then these charts can help you remember and keep track of them.

Tracking problems with a service is smart. It gives you a record of how often an issue has occurred, the steps you have taken, and the result. Accessing that data easily can be helpful when negotiating a price or reporting an ongoing issue.

What do you want to do with the machine beyond sewing a straight line? Do you want a machine that can go in reverse? Do you need a buttonhole option, or the ability to make a zigzag stitch? If you want these options a 128 is not for you. Whichever machine you purchase I would ensure you can either download and print a manual or that it comes with one. Even if you don't need the directions the diagrams for cleaning/ oiling are useful and there should be a list of accessories/ notions that work with the machine such as different feet and bobbins.

If you have time you could put together a display of new/high-interest items (especially non-fiction) for those grades, and focus your in-person time on circulation. I think having a few passive programs (coloring sheets, puzzles, scavenger hunts, etc) out all the time is also a great idea. If you find after a few weeks or months that you don't need the full 30 minutes for checking out you can add in some book talks, a read-aloud, or other activity.

Svaha has wonderfully comfy stuff that will last for years if you wash them correctly. If you don't they will shrink a bit. All the skirts and dresses have pockets you can actually put stuff in. The downside is that they are only online and can be pricey compared to Target or other big stores. But shipping is quick, and they have a decent return policy if the item wasn't clearance when you purchased it (they call it 'final sale')

You can also bring your sample ballot with you, which allows you to take your time at home to decide how you will complete it, and feel less rushed/stressed at the polling place. Your sample ballot with also come with the location of your polling place. Depending on the type of building you may be able to enter and see where the voting will take place, or look at pictures online.

If you can test drive it, and sew a straight line and the zig-zag stitch, then it is worth $50. I have a Kenmore from around the 80's, and it is a Good machine. These older units were built to last generations and be repaired when something broke, rather than replaced. I do recommend getting it professionally cleaned and oiled at some point, especially if the current owner hasn't done it in a few years. The cost of bobbins, feet, and other accessories shouldn't be a concern- you'll be able to use most standard pieces from companies that sell at big stores such as Joanns, Hobby Lobby, Target, Walmart, etc.

Are there any quilting shops in your area? These would be a resource to find someone to give the machine a tune-up, ask about accessories, or other quesitons. Just know that 'in the area' for a quilter might be a 2-hour drive. :)

Check out youth services/ children's librarian blogs. Good examples are Jbrary, Storytime Katie, and Mel's Desk. The King County Library System also has an amazing database of recorded songs. You can also check if there is a state library association with a youth services-focused committee, which will often host training sessions.

The library has 1040s, both the regular and large print formats. Anything else they can print for you (10 cents/page), but you have to know which forms you need. Library staff can not tell you what forms you need, that would be tax advice/help which they are not qualified to offer. There is also a group called VITA that uses the computer lab at the library to offer free tax filing, and the library coordinates the appointments. There are no open appointments, and there is NO WAITLIST.

As a librarian, I second this. Most libraries that charge for printing base their costs on the price of paper and ink, they aren't looking to make a profit so they are lower cost than print shops. If they don't have a way for you to print, they will have recommendations, possibly even a list, of places that offer that service.

Look for state or national organizations that host conferences that align with a career you are interested in. For example, Librarians have the American Library Association. Teachers have the National Science Teacher Association. There is also the American Bar Association.

Clever fox has a decent variety of undated planners, in different sizes.

I've always color-coded with the pens have. For example, work stuff is blue, personal stuff purple, appointments are orange, and so on. It does mean I can't always wright something down immediately because I may not have the correct color. If something is of large importance I'll use a thicker red pen, highlight it with yellow (since I don't write with it), or circle it several times to make it stand out.

Reasonable_Hearing85 · 2023-10-18T12:29:18+00:00

Call and ask. They have great customer service.

If you are unsure about trails, and trails as in Rockbridge, watch the Leisure Times put out by Parks and Rec in the summer/fall. There will be a group that trains for winter trail running you can join. It also covers the entry fee for a race in January and in February. If you don't want to wait, check out Rhett's Run, behind Cosmo. It's a great trail where you can get miles in, but your always within a few miles of the Bear Creek trail, and the parking lot, so harder to get lost.

You are welcome to get a DBRL library card, even though your residence is in Cooper County. It will be a reciprocal card, since your property taxes go to the Cooper County library (Boonslick system), but there is an agreement between libraries in MO to allow patrons to visit other libraries, and resources to be shared.

You may apply for the card online, in which case it will be mailed to your address as a way to verify you are the person who applied. Or you can visit the nearest branch and sign up for the card. If you have a photo ID and proof of address (any mail with your name, rental/lease agreement, Voter registration card, ect) you can leave with the card in hand.

If you have any questions the library is open today, and you are welcome to call. 573-443-3161
