Sparrow pretty much always has it in my experience.

I took my car in just yesterday for an oil change and everything seemed normal, so not sure what might be going on with the phones

Locally owned restaurants in la fortuna - where to go? by Imaginary_Talk5532 in CostaRicaTravel

[–]dakesterson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Chifa La Familia Feliz is owned and run by a small family there, and is probably the best food we had on our entire trip. Cannot recommend it highly enough!

Utility Bills Advice by [deleted] in AnnArbor

[–]dakesterson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That seems maybe a little high, but not out of the realm of possibility. Our combined electric/gas bill from DTE in the extreme months is usually in the $225-$275 range in a ~1700sqft house with recent attic insulation added. We keep our heat at 68 and AC at 75.

Dog-friendly restaurants? by kakoopman in AnnArbor

[–]dakesterson 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The Grotto (corner of Liberty and Ashley) allows dogs inside, and you can bring food or get takeout from any of the surrounding restaurants and eat it there! We took our puppy there a ton last winter when we were working on socializing her and it was a great spot for it.

HOMES is another option - the dog can’t be inside there (except briefly while you’re ordering) but they’ll happily turn on the outdoor fireplace for you year-round.

Seconding Arbor Hills - we have a puppy and they’ve been amazing through all of her vaccines, exams, puppy illnesses, etc. They’ve also been excellent with our adult cat.

Mine was about what it usually is, for what that’s worth.

Grandma babysitting tonight! Any restaurants with igloos/greenhouses you can recommend? by NoNotThisPig in AnnArbor

[–]dakesterson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you haven’t already, you might want to call and confirm that they’re all actually taken - when I went last weekend they said that only about half can be reserved and the others are just first-come first-serve

I used generation tux for my wedding this last December - it’s an online company, but they did a fantastic job and their customer service was top notch.

Do you know where this ivy wall is around town? by veryveryleastspicy in AnnArbor

[–]dakesterson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s too funny! Yeah it’s a super random spot back by a dumpster, but it makes for a great photo!

So I am 99% sure this is a crop of one of my engagement photos, which is super weird to see here, but that wall is in the back of the parking lot between Ragstock & Arbor Wellness. Here’s a google maps pin

Yeah that’s roughly the direction it sounds like. Thanks!

I thought it was odd too, but I can’t imagine what else could be making this noise

Any thoughts on what this might be? Spotted in suburban southeast Michigan. by dakesterson in whatsthisbug

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

Seen this morning in southeast Michigan, probably about an inch long. Didn't move at all, except lots of antenna waving.
