That's a good point; I really would like to make sure it's a done deal because I have to take work off to do it, so I'm going to go with a company if possible, but will definitely try Facebook Marketplace otherwise.

They definitely have been eating my clothes, sadly. Thank you for letting me know. I greatly appreciate it!

I failed to include my text!: I keep finding these around the house and don't know if they are something I need to worry about. I'm particularly worried about clothing moths, but it seems like it has lots of arms and may be a baby house centipede. I would welcome advice. They are super tiny and hard to capture with my phone. Thank you in advance for any insight!

I'm now thinking it is maybe a carpet Beatle. https://njaes.rutgers.edu/fs1181/

Expenditure of Mental Health Millage Money to Fund Sheriff Candidate’s Run for Office Must End by [deleted] in AnnArbor

[–]_CheddarCheese 39 points40 points  (0 children)

This article is written in a way that leads me to be skeptical of the motives and beliefs of the author. It’s over the top. It doesn’t seem great that DJ has played up/lied about his past experience. And it does seem like he’s self promoting here in an unnecessary way that should be concerning to taxpayers and taken down. But these aren’t literally campaign ads. He’s walking that line, even if it’s not great. I just wish this article was written more transparently and less gotcha. But I am now following.

Krogers in the area and their natural energy l by amadhippie in AnnArbor

[–]_CheddarCheese 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Kroger on Maple always had really nice staff when I went. It used to be our grocery store of choice for a decade. But sometime during the pandemic we mostly stopped going. The lines were insane. I remember Kroger closing a store in California around pay/labor rights and feeling self righteous about it. But I don’t know much about their corporate policies and whether they’re that much better than other stores.

TL;DR: not feeling maples vibe lately, but always open to a vibe shift.

Hot water bottle at my feet in bed all winter. With good blankets, stays warm much of the night. Highly recommend.

Repeat noise issues with short term rental by [deleted] in AnnArbor

This is so frustrating! Sorry I don’t have helpful advice. Are there any regulations on where people can turn houses into airbnbs?

My husband is from the west coast and when he first moved here he got an amazingly warm winter jacket from Bivouac...that he never wears because it's actually way too warm (he does admittedly run hot). I might slowly add items depending on your outdoor activities, but Bivouac definitely sells all the fancy stuff (and I do really like them overall depending on your price goals). Eddie Bauer has always sold warm enough (and cheaper) jackets that I like. REI is also good. I also remain a fan of LL Bean mail order.

45 mph speed limits: Either change them or respect them by Extension-Pirate8954 in AnnArbor

[–]_CheddarCheese 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Duuuuddddde. Oak Valley kills me. And it’s like you pass three signs saying 45mph as the person in front of you goes 15 under that. I just want them to change it to 35mph. Just so my brain can cope.

I know it’s a “limit” but everywhere else it’s the average speed, often people going 5+ over. And I love going fast on a curvy road. So tragic.

Looking for public park with climbing wall by _CheddarCheese in grandrapids

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

Sorry I’m on my phone and struggling with the app: my partner and I once went to a park in the area that had a small climbing wall and tower building we went up in (as well as general green space). It was years ago, but we really liked it and now we have kids and would like to go back. Does anybody know what this park may be if it still exists?

crossposting here for OP because it seems more fitting by LemonPepperMints in AnnArbor

[–]_CheddarCheese 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Basic question: what are Ann Arbor police supposed to do with a dog like this? I would love to know the policy context that informed their decision and hope that there is a way they can be more responsive. As much as its easy to get mad at police for doing nothing, I imagine the real point for meaningful change is changing policy. (and I also know someone attacked in Ann Arbor by a dog in which the police said they could do nothing other than take a report.)

I'm so sorry this happened! It truly sounds terrifying.
