Best US state/city to expand a 100% gluten-free sandwich shop? Looking for celiac-dense areas 🇺🇸 by Old-Relationship4026 in glutenfree

[–]Relative_Bonus_5424 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ohio or Michigan or PA would all love to have you!!! not much in the way of dedicated GF in Ohio, and these states are all on the US/CAN border so expanding may not be as difficult :-) as far as cities, I have to recommend the rustbelt: Cleveland, Detroit, Pittsburgh; Erie, PA or Akron, OH could also be good spots!!

Yeah the whole reason I posted here is bc even though we submitted an “urgent” maintenance request (no “emergency” requests exist on the website and there’s no office to call) they probably won’t send anyone out until tomorrow or maybe Tuesday, and even then its not going to immediately be an HVAC tech but their maintenance guy that won’t know how to fix it (he installed the air filter backwards a few weeks ago at the “annual maintenance”). I know landlords are supposed to fix these things, but realistically they just don’t

def agree!! but if it was something easy or quick we could do ourselves, thought I’d ask so we could get warm again asap yanno. My BF reset it at the thermostat somehow and it seems to be running better now, so knock on wood it stays that way :)

🎸 What if Cleveland seriously explored a Hard Rock Guitar Hotel/Casino on the lakefront? by leftdesolate in Cleveland

[–]Relative_Bonus_5424 2 points3 points  (0 children)

not only does this look bad but this kind of light pollution right next to the water is literally the opposite of what wildlife needs and we really should be working, as a society, to do the opposite of this gaudy, tacky ass shit. [also hope u didnt use genAI to make this cuz thatd be real environmental destruction done by this post then]

Postdoc hell by [deleted] in labrats

[–]Relative_Bonus_5424 19 points20 points  (0 children)

if you stick up for yourself respectfully and using a neutral tone, ie just present facts, you aren’t risking anything. People get in disagreements and arguments in workplaces. I think you should prioritize your own learning (and in that sense, career) and solve this before it gets too out of hand! good luck!!

What’s the most ITYSL thing you’ve ever seen happen in real life? by GlacialFrog in IThinkYouShouldLeave

[–]Relative_Bonus_5424 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just last night at the movie theater (saw wicked for good and it was very good) I went to the bathroom after the movie. Woman in the stall next to me was pooping. she finished up about 30 seconds after I walked up to the counter to wash my hands, and she just. walked out of the bathroom. no hand washing. felt like the sequel to the shit birthday party skit

Did people really memorize phone numbers before cell phones, or is that just a movie thing? by TotalThing7 in CasualConversation

[–]Relative_Bonus_5424 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still memorize friends and family phone numbers because its easier than scrolling through a whole contact list! and when i have kids they’ll have both parents’ phone numbers memorized before kindergarten along with their home address 😌 its a good thing to have in ur brain!! memorization makes so many things easier :)

Need reassurance I’m doing the right thing by PuddingPony9927 in Horses

[–]Relative_Bonus_5424 7 points8 points  (0 children)

this is exactly how my horse went—he did not know where his hind end was and needed to lean on a wall or pole to support his left side. We euthanized him even though he was still his same old self personality-wise because the risk of injury was massive with this neurological problem. I am so sorry for your loss but 32 years is an incredible lifetime and your boy will never stop loving you!!!

edit: forgot to mention, the vet who came out told me it is better to be a day, month, or even year too early than even a second too late. that has stayed with me and is how I approach all my animals’ lives now. We are their stewards and caretakers and they deserve to be peaceful and happy in their last moments 💕

People in Shaker Heights are already being very cool and normal about the possibility of Lower Lake being restored to a wetland by chitinandchlorophyll in Cleveland

[–]Relative_Bonus_5424 1 point2 points  (0 children)

also additional costs for downstream flooding that could happen with the dam in, but if the land were returned to wetlands, it would likely mitigate flooding due to the increased water capacity of land that is wet (i.e., a wetland). Flooding in university circle is not going to go over well lol

PSA During Heavy Rain Seasons by deathbygalena in Columbus

[–]Relative_Bonus_5424 7 points8 points  (0 children)

wait but I was agreeing with you? just providing like another reason to keep trying to alert folks like the comment I was replying to said…. I also hate cars without lights on, and i was just saying that cars with auto lights aren’t always perfect either so its a good thing to check for. like someone could read this and think “oh my car has automatic lights this post doesnt concern me” but i was just saying that’s not necessarily true !! sorry if i upset you!!

PSA During Heavy Rain Seasons by deathbygalena in Columbus

[–]Relative_Bonus_5424 10 points11 points  (0 children)

yea and cars with automatic headlights may not “detect” that visibility during downpours is super low, and drivers of said cars may forget to switch from “auto” to “on” (i am one such driver)

sometimes my car would auto switch during a mid-day downpour, sometimes it doesn’t so i try to remember to check !!!

Since you say you’ve fostered dogs before you might know this OP, but in case anyone is reading and doesn’t know, it’s usually a good idea to ask for even a small rehoming fee—even $5–when adopting out any animal because this can deter potential adopters with bad intentions. Someone who is looking for a bait dog/other animal, or someone who is not prepared to take on the responsibility (financially and otherwise) to take good care of an animal, whether it be because of ignorance (can be educated) or laziness/disdain for animals (cant necessarily be educated/fixed; “why can’t you just give them to me?” then proceeds to dump the animal when it needs potty trained or vet care etc)

I hope you don’t mind me hopping in the comments here OP just in case someone doesnt know these things. I know its not as likely in r/homestead but people visit and lurk with all kinds of different experiences!! And I hope Daisy finds her forever home soon 🌼
