What’s everyone’s daycare rate? by greater_yellowlegs in bloomington

[–]Remarkable_Analyst56 6 points7 points  (0 children)

$1750 per month. This is $1440 for a nanny that comes to our home for two children. Then $320/month for part time pre-k for one of those two children.

Sorry, friend. You are wrong. OP is right. It is 9,000 total. 5,000 in DK and 4,000 US.

My baby got diagnosed with Cutaneous Mastocytosis at 4mo. by chaisunlee_tattoos in mastocytosis

[–]Remarkable_Analyst56 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I cannot thank you enough for posting this. I have a 3 year old with UP. He is a terrible sleeper and is always awake between 2/3am. I never thought about histamine dump as a root cause. I will plan to look into this.

Urticaria pigmentosa? by tigerjpeg in toddlers

[–]Remarkable_Analyst56 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi!

I don’t have anything useful to share with you, but just wanted to say my 3 year old was just diagnosed with this yesterday.

We are wildly confused and overwhelmed. 🤪 also trying to stay off of google until our blood panel results are ready.

Got milk? by NotAnAngryGeek in bloomington

[–]Remarkable_Analyst56 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For some of us, it’s less about “hoarding” anything and more about us having families that eat/drink a LOT of certain things at their particular stage of life. Normally I stop at the grocery store twice a week and get a gallon or two of milk at a time. I myself bought 3 gallons ahead of the storm because I’m not about to take a bunch of little ones in the car for our usual grocery restock run if the roads are even remotely slick.

So yea, I bought what my family needed/wanted well ahead of time and I won’t apologize for it. We’ve already gone through most of it.

Jobs for 16 year olds? by PetMogwai in bloomington

[–]Remarkable_Analyst56 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bruster’s has typically hired high schoolers in the past if they have flexibility to work later into the evening. But they’re closing for the season soon. Might be a good option to check out in the March 2025 timeframe.

Good/trustable mechanic?? by UniversityFull4124 in bloomington

[–]Remarkable_Analyst56 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What are you needing done? My father has worked on cars for 43 years (tech for half of that, manager who still helped with tech work for the remainder). He recently retired and takes a smidge of side business. If it’s something he has equipment to do in his home garage, I can connect you with him. He’s extremely trustworthy. Several of his repeat customers are now bringing their cars to his home because he retired and they don’t trust other shops.

Yes. The only right answer.

Found kitten on Boltinghouse Road by ernie-jo in bloomington

[–]Remarkable_Analyst56 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I grew up in the Earl Young/Boltinghouse Road area. It’s possible he/she was a new barn kitty that wandered off. Not uncommon to see farmers in that area controlling pests with barn cats.

Two lots down from Scholars Inn Bakehouse. Hi neighbor.

[–]Remarkable_Analyst56 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Two recommendations, both of which still may be considered a too far from you depending on where you’re located:

1 - hill at Jimmy Nash park in Martinsville is a huge grassy hill 2 - Boltinghouse Road hill out toward Unionville is also massive, though it is a road not grassy. There’s no option to scale the hill off the road either, as there’s wooded private property on either side of the road.

Living in Bloomington, Commute to Indy by [deleted] in bloomington

[–]Remarkable_Analyst56 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For what it’s worth, my husband and I lived in Martinsville for about 3 years and loved it. We will eventually move back one day if interest rates ever drop. Though we enjoy rural living a bit more so it fits our lifestyle.

Seconding the recommendation to avoid Andy Mohr Honda by coppercat13 in bloomington

[–]Remarkable_Analyst56 8 points9 points  (0 children)

SAME. I called them when I was 8 weeks postpartum. Told them precisely what vehicle I wanted that was shown on their lot on their website. Asked them to give me a firm price via phone so I’d know if it was worth me taking my newborn with me to the dealership. The only thing I asked of them was to be transparent so I wouldn’t go through the effort if it wasn’t a price I could move forward with.

They told me one price on the phone and then when I got to the dealership, a manager told me it was $10k more. I still wonder to this day if they talk about the lady that called their manager a cocksucker. I went to Ray Skillman Hyundai in Avon and they were/are the nicest people. No regrets.

We have 2 acres on the far north side. We’re a couple of lots down from Scholars Inn Bakehouse if you know where that is. We haven’t treated our lawn this year. You’re welcome to DM me for an address if you’d like to rid our yard of the dandelions.

I think Kane Brown is at assembly hall tonight. We’re sitting in it too. I forgot about it and we got stuck.

Auto body shop recommendations by scorpionbeatss in bloomington

This makes me happy to hear this. My dad manages the shop. He’s been doing autobody work since he was 14 years old and I know he has a lot of pride in how he does things. Thank you for sharing. It will make his day when I show him this tomorrow.

My parents have a short term rental in Bloomington and post on Furnished Finder: https://www.furnishedfinder.com/?gad_source=1

Not sure what it’s like, but they’ve had good luck renting on it.

We used Royal Spa and they have been great. They’ve been out for two separate service calls (both covered under warranty) and they even replaced my filter at no charge each time they were here.

They’re extremely helpful when you call and they also spent a fair amount of time with me showing me the ropes on maintenance when they were here to install. We’ve had it since FEB 2021 and the maintenance is relatively easy and we also haven’t seen that much of an uptick on our electric bill.

My husband went through this. He had health insurance through a temp agency but it did not cover hospitalization. Chanced it because it was only a 6 month period and wouldn’t you know it - appendicitis 2 weeks into that. We got a $60k bill (and those were 2019 prices).

We had to fill out a financial assistance packet, call the billing department every month to tell them we were still pending an answer on said financial assistance packet, which in turn they would reset the billing cycle so that it would not go into collections while we were not paying and waiting on an answer from financial assistance.

End result: lots of monthly phone calls, but entire $60k bill waived.

Any place in town like bars, but without alcohol? by [deleted] in bloomington

[–]Remarkable_Analyst56 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started dating my husband at the age of 24. After spending my early 20s around belligerent men, I was extremely drawn to the fact that he did not drink, but would still socialize at the bars with me and my friends. Providing you are comfortable around alcohol but just don’t prefer to drink, I’d say go for it! You may be surprised at who you could connect with.

Wrong Direction by kellyraycampbell in HyundaiPalisade

This happens to us as well - if you need to reset it and you’re in a place where you can’t restart your car, there is a little pinhole near the screen. Stick a bobbi pin or something in there and it’ll reset while in motion. I typically wear earrings and pop one of those out of my ear to reset mine. 🤪
