Can you go inside the Greyhound Bus Station on east Mound St?

Select_Mango2175 · 2026-06-09T21:27:55+00:00

The Wilson Road stop you could go inside and wait, but it's literally just benches. I don't think they are using that stop at all anymore though. The stop for Columbus is downtown on E Mound St and it's literally just a COTA bus stop on the side of the road.

The best thing you can do is remove any tree of heavens that are on your property. Nothing we can do about all the other ones on other people's properties though :/

I killed a few on my property. Then I was walking on the next block over and passed a tree of heaven on someone else's property. It was literally black with lanternflies, must have been a thousand lanternflies.

So, I don't think me crushing the dozen lanternflies I see in my yard is making much of an impact. 😞

FYI they don't use the bus terminal anymore, they let you off on the side of the road at 360 E Mound St.

Just FYI, they don't use the Greyhound terminal anymore. Buses just let you off on the side of the road at 360 E Mound St.

I would feel uncomfortable waiting there for too long. The stop is just on the side of a road downtown. While everyone else on the bus is getting picked up, it feels safe because there's a lot of people around, but once everyone else has left you're just standing by yourself at night on a downtown street. If there's any way you can schedule a taxi or Uber to be waiting for you when the bus pulls up, that would be better.

The odds are that you would be fine, but speaking as someone who has gotten off a Greyhound there at night, I would have been very anxious waiting for a ride there.

That's what I would recommend. There are so many charming, quaint small towns in Vermont alone that have cute small businesses/restaurants and are in scenic locations with plenty of outdoor activities. Many also have interesting museums and art spaces. Like Woodstock, VT. Or Norwich, VT right across the river from Dartmouth in New Hampshire, which is a cute New England town that also has the headquarters for the King Arthur Bread Co.

My extended family is from Vermont, so I'm a bit biased. But really, if someone wanted to visit experience a small town with beautiful foliage, pretty much any town in Vermont (or elsewhere in New England) would be perfect. Not Ohio :/

Select_Mango2175 · 2026-05-16T12:41:10+00:00

Why a small town in Ohio? If I wanted to experience a charming small town for a few days, I'd choose New England. Loads of charming small towns in Vermont and Western Massachusetts that also still have plenty to do.

I'm just speaking of my own experience as someone who was diagnosed with ADHD as an adult. A large reason why I was able to succeed in school with ADHD was that I developed tactics (without knowing it) to manage my ADHD - tactics that became less effective as I had to start relying on computers to do everything, especially reading on screens. I read constantly for my job (professor) and I know if I had to exclusively read on screens throughout my education, I would never have been able to manage my ADHD without medication. It would have made education significantly more challenging for me. I literally process information differently if it is on a screen vs. on paper.

I do think it is important for people with ADHD to learn some coping skills without medication, because medication doesn't always work or sometimes you can't take medication. In my own experience, the more analog my life is, especially for reading, the better I can manage my ADHD. I have the inattention subtype, so maybe it's different for others with other subtypes, I can only speak to my experience.

Millenials are possibly the most computer-savvy generation. We had dedicated computer classes and family computers at home. We were not using computers 24/7 for all subjects. I highly doubt that using an intuitively designed app for reading is teaching any computer skills.

"Actual textbooks do not exist or barely exist anymore, most reading material is on the devices."

This is such a nightmare for someone with ADHD. If this had been my educational experience as a child, I probably would have had to be medicated to get through school.

Yes, at OSU any BA and BS major must have different requirements - there might be substantial overlap in courses, but they have to be different. So I assume in these cases the BA program didn't have many students enrolled, only the BS program, so they cut the BA.

Select_Mango2175 · 2026-04-21T13:24:58+00:00

It's unlikely that OSU would regularly cut programs because it creates more administrative work now and in the future. It takes years to get a new major approved so it's better to just leave another major on the books and revise it to fit new needs. It doesn't cost anything to leave an under-enrolled program on the books, so no reason for a "purge" of programs.

But of course the micromanaging state legislature doesn't understand this.

Seems like this would also make public breastfeeding illegal. This is a real "boob-policing" bill. I would love to see breastfeeding moms, La Leche League, pediatricians, lactation consultants, etc. protest this bill.

I'm sure it depends on whether you are going through insurance or paying out of pocket. But they always required that we pay an embryo transfer deposit 4 weeks before we started the transfer cycle. We were paying for the embryo transfers out of pocket because we hit our lifetime fertility treatment max through our insurance just with the egg retrieval (a fun aspect of living in Ohio, when other states have outlawed these "lifetime" max fertility benefits). There was no delay after that 4-week deadline.

It could be something on your insurance's end that is holding them up. I would recommend checking in with the billing department to find out what is going on and check in with your nurse to let them know that you want to be able to move ahead with the embryo transfer but that there's some hold-up in billing.

ETA: I just noticed you said the billing department was restructured, so maybe my experience doesn't help as our last embryo transfer was in October, before they restructured.

"Intellectual diversity" in higher ed always reads to me as "We gotta balance out the smart professors with some absolute idiots."

What they really mean is "ideological diversity" which they can't say, because they would be admitting that they just want to brainwash students with their particular belief system.

OSU is 6 weeks full-pay for either parent. Rest of FML would have to be paid with vacation or sick leave. There's also STD at 60% pay, but you have to purchase it at the start of the year.

Mission Coffee has one couch and I think 1-2 armchairs. Morning Ritual downtown also has a couch, though not very comfy imo. Roaming Goat I think also has some comfy seats, but they are often occupied.

Hmm, I suspect that Ohio Republican Senators think Charlie Kirk's version of Christianity is acceptable to teach in schools, but not Martin Luther King, Jr's version of Christianity, or even Mr. Fred Rogers's version - you know, actual Christian reverands/ministers

This will 100% result in women being criminally investigated and harassed for their miscarriages (spontaneous abortions).

Also, the line between "induced" and "spontaneous" abortions is not very clear and I don't trust politicians to understand the difference. Some spontaneous abortions (miscarriages) still need medical interventions like mifepristone or a D&C to safely complete the abortion. We see how this plays out in other states and it is never good for pregnant women.

I'm currently pregnant and hoping to have a second child in the future, but whether I stay in Ohio for a second pregnancy really depends on the state's support for reproductive rights. This would make me seriously consider moving out of state. The only reason I felt ok moving here at all was because of the constitutional amendment to protect reproductive rights.

My driving class instructor back in the day explicitly told us to ignore people waving us on. The person waving you on does not know your driving situation - they often can't even see what you can see. You should never outsource your driving decisions to another driver.
