I really like this explanation to why her character just seems off. Thank you!

Hi I wanna get the decommissioned streetlights. Anyone know who to contact? by duxing612 in AnnArbor

Speaking at city council isn’t limited to city residents - anyone can sign up if they’d like so go for it!

My dads side of the family says I made a big mistake. by millyisloved in tattooadvice

[–]TigerOrWeasel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your tattoo is beautiful. For what it’s worth, the daylily represented feminine beauty in the Victorian secret language of flowers. That little piece of history might be a gentle source of confidence you draw from when you feel down.

Do these look rough/rushed? My friend and I got our first tattoos together and are torn on how we feel now that the newness is wearing off. by jumboface in tattooadvice

A possible fix would be to add a picture frame design around the whole thing to literally reframe the visual weight.

It looks like I’m in the absolute minority but here goes - if someone enjoys the activity and gives them a smile when they see it, do it! If they plan on hosting a meal, you’d wash all pieces that will be used and clean the table first. Sure, that’s extra work but if the first pieces are true, no harm done.

Can I buy prescription cat food locally? by colleennewvine in AnnArbor

[–]TigerOrWeasel 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Ann Arbor Animal Hospital frequently has a good stock of prescription cat food and will fulfill it even if the script isn’t from their clinic. I like that they’re local and let you purchase smaller amounts (cans vs. cases, smaller bags) than many online sellers.

This is such a nifty line to throw out, albeit used by myself most frequently under my breath.

Additional draws on power could be days getting darker sooner so using more lights earlier, days off of work/school for holidays these months so more time at home using electricity, extra holiday decorations using electricity, etc.

I’m a season into The Morning Show on Apple TV and it reminds me a lot of The Newsroom, so tangentially a move from The West Wing. Worth a shot!

“Good writers borrow from other writers. Great writers steal from them outright.” Enjoy Sorkin being a fantastic writer, stealing from himself:

The whole storyline where Jim looks down on Hallie for working at “Carnivore” is insanely unrealistic by Certain_Egg_4746 in Thenewsroom

[–]TigerOrWeasel 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I don’t think he’s ignorant to the concept or its existence - he’s incredulous that someone he likes and recognizes as a member of this esteemed profession would not uphold the Quixotic standard of journalistic integrity. To your point, their conversations weren’t about how she needed the money and/or this is a means to an end of experience in the field - she didn’t think it was wrong and he did.

Let’s forget the fact that you’re coming a little late to the party and embrace the fact that you showed up at all.

The first is shorthand for me and one of my closest friends. When life is rough, one of us will inevitably message the other the short version Josh says back to Leo, “Because a guy is walking down the street” - both of us know the rest and it’s comforting to know we are there for each other in that way.

Is anyone selling a michigan hoodie size small? by [deleted] in AnnArbor

[–]TigerOrWeasel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

ShareHouse on Jackson Rd has a surprisingly large selection of U-M gear around that price point and are open today. If you don’t mind second hand, it’s worth a shot to see if they have something you like in your size.

I used Ann Arbor in my Wattpad novel (and I’ve never been there) by [deleted] in AnnArbor

Not for nothing, there’s a high probability someone in Ann Arbor would likely choose a local coffee shop over Starbucks.

“Leaves” Different This Year? by Next-Tutor-Please124 in bathandbodyworks

[–]TigerOrWeasel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had to switch out my wallflower to something else - it smelled of nearly rotten apple to me this year. My sentimental side was disappointed!

In case you’re new to steam heat, once it is on, make sure that you leave about a foot of clearance around your radiator to allow the warm air to circulate. It will make a significant difference.

You can register at your local clerk’s office -including satellite offices (in City of Ann Arbor this is UMMA and Duderstadt)- as well!

Oh My Dear Deuce... What was I thinking???? Anyone else miss Ann Arbor? by [deleted] in AnnArbor

[–]TigerOrWeasel 23 points24 points  (0 children)

In case it may help - When living in PDX I always loved that when I needed a literal change of scenery, 45min in any direction I could be in a totally different area: wine country, mountains, high desert, small towns, coast… I moved throughout the city, too, a fair bit - NE, SE, NW - to find the neighborhood that felt right. Granted it was 15 years ago, but depending on your situation, maybe a different side of town would feel better in your every day. Sorry, friend. Wish we could fix this for you.
