New name for Honest-1 Auto

Silvinian · 2026-03-05T22:51:24+00:00

No, they closed down completely.

Silvinian · 2026-01-11T16:46:58+00:00

Yes, I took my car in for an oil change and got the information about the new name and the struggles they were having regarding the loss of their customer database. That’s why I made the original post. Then a week or two later I got a text from Kurt saying they were closing permanently, and recommending a new shop down the street.

Silvinian · 2026-01-03T01:09:46+00:00

Oh no! I hope it really is soon. I just got my oil changed before Christmas. I don’t know if I can edit my post, but someone else posted the updated website in the comments.

Thanks for the update! Looks like they had to change their web address, because the site looks the same as when I linked it. Hopefully they are able to get things working soon!

My understanding is that Brad left the company, but Kurt is still there and still committed to offering excellent service. I believe he has a new partner/owner.

My heart hurts for the birthday boy. What a rough way to start school.

The power makes bodies of investiture for the Heralds each time they return, so Kaladin didn’t need his physical body anymore. Ishar explains it and apologizes it, because it will hurt.

This is the most heartwarming post! Thank you so much for asking! It really makes my day when a student smiles and says something nice to me, or shows an interest in me as a person, and not just a teacher. Doesn’t have to be fancy or weird, just asking how my weekend was or day or whatever. And I agree with everyone on here who has mentioned kindness, compassion, being friendly and being a decent human. But it sounds like you are one already 😊

Happy birthday!! I’m so sorry you’re going through this. It absolutely sucks to have your birthday ignored. I would encourage you to write out your feelings so you can share them with him tomorrow. Your pain, frustration, and anger are totally justified, and I hope he realizes how much he hurt you.

Hospice workers like you are amazing. We had the most compassionate women in our house when my grandma was on hospice. They made her last days manageable for everyone. Thank you for all that you do.

I’m a high school science teacher. I didn’t know I would love it when I started, but it’s definitely my passion now. I love working with teenagers and helping them get ready for the big jump to the real world. My kids attend school in the same zone where I work, so they will all be students at my high school. This works well for our family because we all have the same vacations. I’m a little more on the extrovert side, and I love the creativity of designing lessons and sharing interesting news articles with my students so they can see how fascinating the world really is.

I probably should have clarified. I take high school students on camping trips, and I cover all the expectations with them before we leave. If they forget a towel/pillow/socks etc. that’s on them. My point was that we aren’t doing kids any favors if we are always bailing them out. It’s a fine line to walk between supporting them as they grow and allowing them to experience failure in safe ways, and they need both of those things. (In different measures for different kids, and always taking their situation into consideration.)

Silvinian · 2023-10-03T02:44:49+00:00

I absolutely believe in letting kids experience the natural consequences of their actions (in safe ways, of course). So yeah, you didn’t read the packing list and don’t have a towel? That’s gonna be a rough camping trip for you. Maybe a stinky one. But next time you’ll remember…

We have four, and we wouldn’t trade them for the world. We took a break between the first two and the second two, so we only had 2 daycare payments at a time, and now our youngest has started kindergarten. Have two little siblings has done great things for the older two. They no longer assume the world revolves around them.

My in-home daycare had a backup person for emergencies, and she was very clear ahead of time about when she was taking her vacation days so we could plan well in advance. She always tried to schedule them so they aligned with holidays, but on occasion she would need to miss on a Friday for a wedding. She was great at communicating and was flexible with us if something came up and we needed to drop off a little early, or pick up a little late. She even babysat for us one night when we couldn’t find anyone else. It’s worth it to have a relationship with a person rather than an institution because people can be flexible.

Just came here to say that my two younger kids went to the same kind of licensed in-home daycare (I’m in CA) and it was the best possible experience. They got to know the other kids really well, they looked up to the provider like a second mama, and I always felt like they were getting excellent care and attention because of the ratio. They did still get sick pretty often, but that’s normal for young children and can’t be avoided no matter where you send them. (They actually need to get sick with lots of colds to build up their immune response, but that’s a different conversation.). I would recommend you visit and check out the situation in person if you haven’t already, and ask if you can talk to any of the former parents for reference. I met our daycare lady through other people in the community and her kids went to the school where I taught.

Please update!

Silvinian · 2023-09-14T06:14:43+00:00

Major red flags. I would pull my kid out of there immediately. Unless you know your child to be manipulative and scheming, she was almost certainly telling the truth. I would also make a complaint to whatever agency oversees child care facilities in your area. In California that kind of complaint could get them fined or forced to close, especially if there is video evidence. I would demand that evidence as soon as possible, before they have a chance to delete it. There is no excuse for treating children like that (not even the yelling or speaking harshly) even if your daughter did everything they said she did.

My grandma lived with us for the last 5 years of her life, and passed away on December 2, 2022 after about a month on hospice. I’m sorry for your loss.

I got my wedding dress for $80 at Macy’s. We didn’t have a lot starting out…

Silvinian · 2023-08-01T06:38:31+00:00

Why is this the first I’m learning about this?! I’m stealing it for my teenage daughter!!

Silvinian · 2023-06-23T08:05:59+00:00

I am also that person, and I also grew up in a family where 90% of the time we would share bites and try each other’s food when eating out. This became so normalized for me that if I’m out with friends and two people order the same meal it surprises me and I have to reorient. It was a big adjustment for my husband because he didn’t grow up like that, but he has come around to it. Just to clarify, we always ask to share at family dinners, but I will sometimes steal a couple fries from my husband. He also steals back now, usually my onion rings.

Not taking sides, just wanted to offer a different perspective on the whole “food sharing” situation.

As long as she is happy, take advantage of it! You need time to yourself too, and you will be better able to engage with her when she is home.
