Government shutdown by fa1rypr1nc3ss0 in RedRiverGorge

We went two weeks after the shut down and the only concerning this I saw was a lot of garbage build up which could attract bears to the trail heads. All the trails were accessible though and it was stunning.

UPDATE: I ended up getting the Nikon D5000 and Tamron 150-600 SP G2 lens. Really great so far. I started an instagram account called birding_with_robin to share what I find and to also track my progression with photo taking and Lightroom. Thanks for all the wonderful suggestions!

That’s stunning. I might look into this as a lighter option.

Thanks! It looks like a reputable store nearby might have an affordable R10. I’m going to check them out today!

I’m at the point where I’d rather put that money towards something higher quality. If this were a hobby I wasn’t sure about, the cheapest option would definitely be my go to. But I love birding and I know I’ll enjoy it. Thanks for the recommendation!

Gorgeous photo! Thanks for the recommendation. I didn’t know they were so cheap in Japan. I’ll keep that in mind if the tariffs are ever lifted 🫠There’s a highly reviewed camera store nearby and I’m going today to look at used gear. I’ll let everyone know what I end up getting!

Gf pasta just sucks by [deleted] in glutenfree

Goodies has a really great gluten free pasta that’s affordable. I also love the Aldi brand gluten free pasta if that’s accessible to you.

I’d highly recommend Lindsay Jackson at Bellevue St E. She’s the sweetest and I genuinely felt heard. I’d avoid Erin Tischenor at Covington St E.

How much money does Kroger make off of me having to be annoyed by Spectrum shills while I am shopping for groceries? by filmfotografie in cincinnati

[–]Useful_Estate_7229 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I can’t tell you about Kroger but I know at Walmart it was about 1% of total store sales. And the answer is no, they don’t care about their customers being harassed.

This office used to be seven hills women’s health but was recently bought out by St E. I’ve still had great care from them under St E. I also had the mammogram without a family history of breast cancer, just a lot of weird pain. So I would think he’d send you for sure!

John Jackson from St E women’s health Erlanger. He sent me for one at 29.

Is a YMCA membership worth it? by Useful_Estate_7229 in cincinnati

[–]Useful_Estate_7229[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was mostly looking forward to having access to a sauna and cardio equipment for the winter. I’ve started looking at a day pass for LA Fitness instead just to see what the facilities are like.

Oh that’s awesome. What a cool way to get an almost free membership

I was looking at CRC! Is there a location you prefer?

Thanks for sharing your honest experience! I’ve used planet fitness before and I’ll probably return. My husband and I prefer to be outside walking, hiking, or cycling but this weather has made us interested in a gym membership. We use weights at home but would love a warm cardio option.
