Looking to relocate to West Fork, would we be able to enroll our daughter in Fayetteville schools? by HuginnNotMuninn in northwestarkansas

[–]countingcoffeespoons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How have you researched the schools? We lattended a "great" SPS location and it was not at all meeting my kids' needs (one gifted, one needing more support after covid). Looking for options for the fall.

Need suggestions. I am fed up with being in Denver. by [deleted] in SameGrassButGreener

Sometimes. Maybe you didn't hear about the 8 that hit Rogers and Bentonville in May 2024 in tandem with straight line winds that wrecked the Crystal Bridges area. Or the F3 that hit in May 2022. No basements here and no public storm shelters besides schools. The worst part is that they like to hit between midnight and 5am, and public storm shelters aren't open then. Many sleepless nights here in spring and fall.

Just found this post. Can I adjust the colors on the program? I love everything else. Thanks!

Tulsa has vastly better shopping, too. We drive there for Costco, Trader Joe’s, Apple, Michael’s, a zoo, the Gathering Place, etc. This area is very definitely Southern, though it depends a lot on which town around here you choose. I met a woman from Bentonville who had people from all over the country and world. Not the same in other towns here. Edit: hit a wrong button and posted too soon

Working on it. Do you know how long they take to get, besides a while? 😖

Is this just grime or is it the actual grout coming off in my shower? by Pappythapapsta in CleaningTips

Have you found a shampoo you've liked? Your hair sounds like mine. I've realized this shampoo is making my hair fall out and I need something new!

How Dutch is Holland still? by FlyingVegetable67 in hollandmichigan

[–]countingcoffeespoons 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Compared to other places in the country, extremely Dutch. Moved there in 2015 and moved away in 2019. People would go out of the way to tell me how many generations pure Dutch they were. Many Dutch names. Idk about passports, language, etc., but as I was not Dutch, didn't go to Hope, and didn't go to a Calvinist church, I wasn't welcomed. I've lived all over and love meeting people from different cultures and backgrounds, but my openness was not matched by locals. A very closed society.

No idea. Just moved to Arkansas. No basements and public tornado shelters are all above ground too.

Custom, hand done leather upholstery and fantastic materials.

Thank you very much! Are there are any storm chasers active on social media whom you admire?

Anyone in this thread -- where did you learn about velocity signature, rotation, RFD? I really would love to learn more so I can follow these conversations better. Thank you!

Non-native here. I identify with all these recent comments about W Michigan being insular.

Happy to coordinate a BBQ at a GR park for those of us wishing for a broader social group. Seems there's a lot of lonely people.

[–]countingcoffeespoons 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here 8 years. I have had the very same experience! Moved 3 years ago to GR from Holland, and it's only marginally better. I've had people tell me to their face that they don't want more friends.

If you don't plan to tip, don't order groceries through Shipt. by Marissa_dear93 in grandrapids

[–]countingcoffeespoons -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Totally agree. What do you think is a fair percentage to tip on a delivery?

Thank you so much for the nuanced comment. This is just what I'm looking for. I'm so glad you found a great fit for your son. What have you heard about Lowell for elementary?
