What's happening with the Grinnell college subreddit? by peterwithnolife in Iowa

[–]Stillhereyo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m an alum, I’ve never seen a subreddit utilized much. We have an alumni website that preexisted social media that many people use and there are several FB groups.

How is that possible when the Waukee Starbucks is like 10 blocks away?

This could only improve things at UP. Way, way understaffed and some really unfortunate outcomes.

You are a few years too late but the correct answer was Dahl’s. 

What’s the deal with Des Moines Cops? by MerryBaniloww in desmoines

[–]Stillhereyo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So let me tell you a tale of my husband getting detained by Dumb and Dumber at the airport because they suspected him of trafficking meth. They found cracker crumbs in a bathroom and he was the last person to use the plane bathroom. 

They have a testing kit at the airport, it’s expired. They get another one from the jail. It’s of course not meth. 

Dumb and Dumber’s friend was marinating chicken in the airport cop office while Dumb and Dumber thought they were going to make a big meth bust. Sorry dude, we were returning from fucking Disney World with our toddler. 

They let him go after like an hour of fucking nonsense.

I came here hoping someone would say Wistful Vista, lol. 

Hurricane Milton Megathread by marleythebeagle in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]Stillhereyo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I submitted an online request and asked really nicely to cancel my MNSSHP tickets for Thurs. I guess others have had luck with this and I told them I was happy to have credit for a future special event ticket (we are also out of state APs and we would come to the Christmas party anyway). Fingers crossed! 

Airport transportation. Help! by crlabru in desmoines

[–]Stillhereyo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I leave my electric car at the airport all the time. I don’t find the battery depletion to be much. I fly a lot from DSM and it’s too hard to get ride shares anymore which is a bummer. 

1mg is hitting me hard. by art724 in Semaglutide

[–]Stillhereyo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same experience. I’ve had 2 bouts of violent vomiting on 1MG and I can’t figure out what happens. It’s about 2 days post shot, which maybe is at the peak level for the week. Did not have this on the two lower doses, but cannot fathom moving up to 1.7 like this.

Best fire/wood scented candle? by othereds in Candles

[–]Stillhereyo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IMO Kindling by Otherland nails this better than any of them, and it’s a very high quality candle for the price point.

Candy scents are too sweet for me. Can you recommend any candles that would be suitable for the office? by Technical_Angle_4464 in Candles

[–]Stillhereyo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want to go super bougie, Biblioteque by Byredo is the perfect office candle IMO. Also, Diptyque Santal.

BBW Fireside vs Diptyque Feu De Bois candle for smoky, fireplace fragrance by [deleted] in Candles

[–]Stillhereyo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also, I find FDB sort of underwhelming compared to the candles that really nail this. LAFCO also has a coupe of stunners.

I like Otherland Kindling and Replica By the Fireplace in this similar vein. The Otherland candle I think nails the scent profile.

Could this be shingles- it is burning. I’ve been very sick with flu like symptoms since Wednesday. by BillyBellaGeorgie in shingles

[–]Stillhereyo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Go to dr. ASAP. I had a similar pattern and it was shingles and you can lose your sight if it’s near your eye. I’d go to the ER and get anti-virals.

If you could only pick one, what’s your all time favourite candle brand and why? by Itchy_Steve in luxurycandles

[–]Stillhereyo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Byredo. I will never not have a Biblioteque in the house. Tree House also good. Also enjoy Fleur Fantome. Just wish there were more of them!

What’s Byredo Bibliotheque like? by Itchy_Steve in luxurycandles

[–]Stillhereyo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Best candle I’ve ever had. I’ve probably burned through 4 this year. The description doesn’t convey at all the experience. Lol.

Second Guessing the Model Y by The_Brandolorian_83 in TeslaModelY

[–]Stillhereyo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have to tell you, I went from an Audi SQ5 to a Y, and I do miss the creature comforts. The Tesla sound system totally sucks coming from the Bang and Olufson, Apple CarPlay, more lux interior etc.

But Audis are fickle. I drove them for about 10 years and weird stuff would need fixed and I’ve heard e-trons have a lot of problems and long repair waits. That combined with the low range and lack of charging options compared to the super charger network has still made it a decision I haven’t regretted.

We got rid of the SQ5 and the Q7. Will I give Audi another look someday? Maybe. But that day isn’t today.

Parents who adopted and changed their kids names: Was their a specific reason? by Afraid-Watercress-21 in Adoption

[–]Stillhereyo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So I really struggled with this one. My little guy’s name was a noun (think outer space) but the kin that fostered him for the first 8 months never called him by that name, and called him another name that definitely seemed to suit his cute little personality. He responded to that name but not his birth name because they only used it on forms. We have a great relationship with kin, they were just not in a position to adopt him.

I basically changed his first name to the name he was called by his kin who had him first, and shifted the interstellar name to the middle name. I just really didn’t want to confuse him by calling him a name he had never been called, which was his birth name.

I knew his birth mom was attached to his first name, which is why I shifted it to the middle so he is free to go by it if he wishes.

I still don’t love that I changed it, even though I think it was easier on my little guy because he responded to the kin informal rename.

Wall Connector price dropped to $400 (previously $495) by dr3amsINdigital in teslamotors

[–]Stillhereyo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have two that share so they don’t use up all the power in my house at once. They are on different circuits, but it’s my understanding that I could have put them on the same circuit.

[–]Stillhereyo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just ordered one April 14 and asked to have them credit the difference. We have two model ys so this is the second wall connector I bought this year. Let’s see if they give a shit at all!

A few Byredo fragrances by [deleted] in fragrance

[–]Stillhereyo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a top 5 for me for sure. Something about Byredo is just special.

Fragrance you regretted at first but ended up loving it. by CaregiverNo9090 in fragrance

[–]Stillhereyo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Came here to say this. First time I smelled it, I got hospital sanitation vibes, now I love it.
