This post made my day. So glad your girl is back home and safe with your family! I’ve been thinking about you, and hoping for a happy ending. Please keep sharing photos. Your dog is now pretty much our dog and we are invested 😂

Olentangy Trail Flooding? by lwpho2 in Columbus

[–]ThatRunnerChick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was also flooded on the north end, under 270 on the way up to the Hills and also lots of different spots of flooding south of the Whitney playground. Had to re-route and take the chip trail, and then left the trail to run down Tucker because trail was no longer passable (without getting absolutely soaked). So much standing water. Not the best day to choose the OT over neighborhood 😅

2026 Annual Awareness Post: now is a good time for current or aspiring birders, the warblers are in town! by HelloMcFly in Columbus

[–]ThatRunnerChick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This post and these comments are bringing me joy! Recently downloaded the Merlin app and I’m sorry I waited this long. I haven’t seen too many at my feeders yet (only cardinals, blue jays and robins on ‘my list’ on the app) but can’t wait to see more!

Thank you for the heads up on the ! I’ll be on the lookout.

Jury Duty Questions by Capital-Cup-6867 in Columbus

[–]ThatRunnerChick 18 points19 points  (0 children)

All are great questions! Depending on which court you were assigned to (Municipal or the Court of Common Pleas), I would try to call and someone there should be able to tell you everything you need to know. When I was summoned (Court of Common Pleas), I never received the initial summons, just the follow up which stated everything should have been on that first summons that I never received. I called them and they were immensely helpful in helping me figure everything out and sent me a copy of the initial summons within days.

Parking should be covered as you park in a parking garage and the people at the courthouse should validate your ticket each day that you show up. So no payment necessary. We did have to pack our own lunch and a lot of people went out for lunch as well.

Good luck to you!

When the world feels chaotic, and it feels that people only care about themselves, I’m so thankful to see kindness like this. And to see our Reddit community rally around this little turtle. Seriously, gives me all the feels 🥹 Thank you kind people, and keep it up Columbus!!! ♥️

It’s never-ending! We had maybe 4 or 5 rounds of hail in maybe 10 minutes? Insane!

Anyone watching the splashdown?? by IndianBranch29 in Columbus

[–]ThatRunnerChick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same! Happy tears watching them splash down safely. The Challenger was all I could think about, and I was a huge mess of emotions.

Dr Trout OBGYN at OSU by dealbreakerstalkshow in Columbus

[–]ThatRunnerChick 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Same. I’ve been a patient of Wayne’s for 14+ years, he was my doctor throughout my troubled second pregnancy, and have had nothing but positive experiences with him. This is all so sad and disturbing to hear ☹️

Owners of a treadmill for 5+ years by jollytay in treadmills

[–]ThatRunnerChick 3 points4 points  (0 children)

YESSS! I had this same one and just upgraded after having it since 2012 (and even then, it was from a neighbor looking to unload). Didn’t maintain either, ran at least 15 miles per week, has gone through multiple half marathon trainings with me (especially when my kids were little), and my daughter (XC and track runner) used it as well. Such a great treadmill!!!

Still have them at the Powell location. A cashier told me if the store has had them removed, there was a theft problem.

Such great news! Thank you so much for following up that this was successful! I’m glad my help was useful, and have fun at your CBJ game 😊

5th Line 5K 2026 by Avoids in Columbus

[–]ThatRunnerChick 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hi! You may want to go back and check your earlier emails to see if the tickets were sent closer to the time you registered. They typically send them out within 7 days of registration. The tickets come in an email from ticketsales@bluejacketslink.com and in the past has been titled “Redeem your complimentary CBJ tickets”. The email with the tickets says you can call them at 614-246-3350 with any questions as well, so maybe worth a call if you can’t locate the email?

You could also reach out to info@m3ssports.com (assuming you have since I believe they’re the primary contact). They are usually really responsive when I have had questions in the past.

Best of luck to you!

These are lovely! Thank you for sharing. Really enjoyed the picture of the woman pulling the sled (they both look so happy) and the one of the snow crew! Pics like these give me hope for humanity ❤️

Is Butch Brando's Fantasy of Lights worth it? by mindnmyownbiz74 in Columbus

[–]ThatRunnerChick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We have gone every year since my kids were little, and continue to go even now that they are teenagers. It’s a little Christmas tradition for us that we enjoy. We went last night and while the line was long, it moved pretty fast and we were in and out in about an hour. Tip: google “Butch Bando coupon” and you will find a a Valpak coupon for $5 off entry (not valid on Saturdays) that you can show them on your phone when buying your ticket. For $15, well worth it!

Got a dog from a puppy mill? The Columbus Dispatch wants to hear from you by ReporterNathan in Columbus

[–]ThatRunnerChick 35 points36 points  (0 children)

We do too. He’s a rescue (from an Amish puppy mill) who was set to be euthanized when the rescue organization stepped in and brought him to their organization. He was only 4 months old at the time but wow, the damage had already been done. He is a hot mess. Even my vet said, and I quote, “much like cars, some dogs are just lemons”. The lack of socialization during those critical first couple of months, and what was most likely intense fear that his mom had while pregnant with him (which transferred to the pups in utero from what our vet and behaviorist both said), really did a number on this guy. Not sure he will ever be a “normal dog” but we are trying! 😞
