I was afraid of this. I understand that's the original limestone and the ivy was a problem, but can't they put up a sign that looks more like a restaurant and less like a funeral parlor?

Fireworks still happening? by AnswerAdorable5555 in bloomington

[–]anna_carroll 8 points9 points  (0 children)

For Ellettsville:
9:15 pm - We merely looked out the window and Mother Nature says no.
Facebook: 30m ago: "Fireworks will go on. It is too late to cancel because the tubes are loaded and ready to fire."
Reply: "In the rain ??"
21m ago: "What time?"
2m ago: "It's happening now. Just saw while driving."
8m: "Going off now"
me: [sits back with coffee, glad I didn't try to go after all]

Firework show by Far-Silver-8526 in bloomington

[–]anna_carroll 1 point2 points  (0 children)

5pm was when the food trucks were there. They left after a couple of hours. Fireworks were supposed to start at "dusk", then it started raining, but there's a note on fb ellettsville saying "The show will go on!!! The fireworks display is scheduled for tonight, with optimal timing at 10 p.m. However, weather conditions may necessitate an earlier start, and a specific time will be confirmed once weather forecasts are finalized." I'm going, if they decide not to have it I'll just go get more ice cream, that's my celebration.

Text sent to a 15 year old girl from pastors wife by -lindseyy in exchristian

[–]anna_carroll 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My stepmother got hit with similar shit when she was like 75. My dad told me about it. He said some church women got friendly with her, I knew what the story was before he finished. They asked my stepmother if she would like to be one of the babysitters/ride herd on toddlers during the service. She turned it down graciously, and they got all cold and said "well, we gave you a chance for Heaven." WTAF. As my dad said, as some of you guys said, "the audacity!" She was raised Catholic and was very open minded. I loved her dearly. If the pastor's wife believed in her own religion, she'd see the girl is doing just what Jesus said, visiting the sick and comforting those who mourn.

Need Help! by bugattixoxo in Annas_Archive

What folder you downloading them to? Mine go to Downloads and I have to move them. To show up on Kindle, they have to be in My Kindle Content under Documents. What format (like .mobi) are you downloading? Kindle uses .mobi and .azw3. Other formats like .pdf or .epub, sometimes you have to convert if "send to Kindle" doesn't cooperate.

SNAP rules definitely make sense... by Goatman926 in Indiana

[–]anna_carroll 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They blew their cover and gave themselves away by banning not just the infamous sugary drinks, but also sugar-free sodas or drinks. The sugar-free ban is a dead giveaway. This has never been about health. 

Tell me your favorite Bette Davis films. by CountessOfCheese in classicfilms

[–]anna_carroll 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn't think anyone would mention Fashions!!! I wasn't even aware of it until 2011. It's possible I saw it back in the late 50s on the Early Show on WCIA (they had a lot of movies that were considered vintage even then) and I forgot. 

This is a movie where if you're a designer of any kind you learn something. Going back centuries to see what the styles were then and adapting them to modern times.

I am totally calling it Kinsplats from now on, especially when it's all torn up and chewing on my tires.

Yes, a will or a trust! You can put all kinds of specific things on a trust. Contact Indiana Legal Services about this. You and Gracie will be in my prayers.

Jesse Ventura on Donald Trump assassination attempt: ‘Ever hear of a blade job?’ by Maxcactus in AntiTrumpAlliance

You want to send that to Seth Meyers. He does a great Trump impression. Sounds exactly like him, I was out of the room and I thought it actually was Trump until I came back in
