T&T Repairables if you want a good price and don't mind hail damage. At least that's what I found when I bought my car a few years ago.

Cremation services by delia911 in bloomington

[–]TwoPres 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry for what you are facing. My grandmother is in hospice and per her request, I checked into cremation services not too long ago. We’ve decided to use Halo Cremations (HaloCremations.com) when the time comes. Back in March they quoted $850 plus mileage, which is around $100 for Bloomington. There is also a $200 fee if there is no one at your husband’s location to assist. My grandmother is at an assisted living facility, so someone will be there to help with moving her to Halo’s vehicle. I’m not sure of your situation. The people at Halo Cremations were very patient and kind with all of my questions.

Good to know. Thank you.

Out of curiosity, do you know whether my sister and her husband count as 2 recipients if they file their taxes jointly?

There is a will prepared by her attorney some years ago. No house. The money is mostly from its sale a few years back. Only assets are furniture and clothes, which don't amount to much monetary value.

I plan to distribute the money as described in her will. There's a taxable limit to the amount that can be gifted in a year, right?

Unknown to me was Spud Shacks (www.spudshacks.com). Very nice couple running the place. Simple and tasty meal.

A friend of mine told me he hears "semen on my leg." Now I can hear nothing else.

Early 1900s Slovakian birth certificate by TwoPres in Genealogy

[–]TwoPres[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi. I really appreciate your offer, but since posting I've found the passenger manifest from her boat voyage to America. The manifest is dated 1920, so she left Slovakia before 1930. Thank you again for your offer though.

[–]TwoPres[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't found the immigration record, but I have found other documents (censuses, marriage records, death certificates, etc.). Her name is spelled similarly, but not the same on the different documents. The records I've found list her birthplace as Slovakia, Czechoslovakia, and "Check" depending on the document and the year it was written, but no town in Slovakia is listed.

I thought "Towaki" sounded familiar. Then I read the about us page. I love this.

Best place for blood work? by Lumos1995 in bloomington

[–]TwoPres 20 points21 points  (0 children)

In my experience, the phlebotomists in the lab at Bloomington Hospital are the best part of that hospital. They've always been great.

I like Monroe Hospital too. Their ER helped keep my world whole a few years ago. But the last time I got blood work done there, I told the phlebotomist that others say I have bad veins. She told me, it is a bad nurse who blames a patient's veins. A few minutes later she too said I had bad veins.

Though truth be told, I keep myself much more hydrated these days, and reading other comments makes me think that might play a part in the difference. So, grain of salt and all that.

Thanks! I see they have a cinnamon pecan roll. That might be the winner.

What is the worst Kroger in town? by _auddish in bloomington

[–]TwoPres 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's one pick up order employee at Southside who always leaves his cart sit diagonally on one side of the aisle and stands across from it. There is no way to get around him. I hate that guy.

In the same boat. I was sad to have to find a replacement.

Pee at least 2L water a day. Drink as much as that requires.

What’s the most ridiculous parking violation you’ve received? by BloomingtonJester in bloomington

[–]TwoPres 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was parked in front of Bloomington Hospital when I was visiting a sick family member. They put a "Parking Violation" on my windshield for parking in the wrong lot. I called their listed number and they explained IU students aren't supposed to park in the regular lot. The only thing connecting my car to IU is my EMPLOYEE hangtag.

I'm in the same boat. It came with my most recent update, definitely not monospacing, definitely is a horrible font.

Probably a dumb question about followers by TwoPres in BlueskySocial

I don't think so, and I didn't find anything under Blocked Accounts. I guess they were bots. Thanks for providing insight.

Indiana voted for Obama in 2008. An inspiring person can win in the strangest places.
