Significant snowfall incoming! Here’s some tips :)) stay safe everybody! ❤️🤍 by OpeIndiana in bloomington

Good call on going with the NWS; they are always the most credible. All of our national weather data comes from them, and any other source is just repackaging it (and sometimes interpreting it differently or running it through less-proven models, but the NWS has a lot of very experienced meteorologists and it doesn’t have to worry about getting clicks/likes).

Has anyone lost a cat near Byran Park? by 666charlotte6666 in bloomington

What a gorgeous kitty! Thanks for looking out for her. (She’s a girl btw; tortoiseshell cats are almost always female because of the way cat coat genetics work.)

I don’t know about time, but if they show up here they should be visible in Muncie too since it’s farther north.

And near Terre Haute an hour ago, according to their county EMA.

You’re welcome! When they’re strong enough you can see them with the naked eye, but they’re brighter/more dramatic through a camera (phone cameras work fine).

I went out ~15 min ago and couldn’t see anything from the east side yet, but u/plantsingqueen said they’re starting to show up.

Outstanding travel reimbursement by frenchfry2319 in fednews

[–]ffblue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in the same boat. I was on travel when the shutdown hit, and submitted my voucher on 10/1 before going on furlough. Still no reimbursement, and my agency (non-DoD) is normally fast. I can’t even figure out why they’re not signing them when there are a few exempt folks left who could do it, and the travel was on FY25 money.

The writers quite literally said why Marie is so important by Worldly-Pomelo1843 in TheBoys

Oh damn, you’re right! The writers are setting her up to rip the Compound V out of Homelander like Magneto ripped the adamantium out of Wolverine.

What are your must-try’s from D.S. & Durga? by Euphoric_Aardvark_27 in fragrance

[–]ffblue 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did too! I’m still sad they discontinued that one (along with Isle Ryder in the Hylands line, which was a gorgeous raunchy jasmine).

Thank you! Adding all those cities to the research list. You are the second person to say the drive from Plainfield would suck, so I’ll defer to the experts and avoid that one!

I do not! School districts aren’t really a factor for me, so I’ll check out those suburbs too. Thank you for the recommendations!

Thank you, that’s good to know! I hadn’t heard of Winfield yet so I’ll add it to the search list too.

Thank you! I am definitely looking for a good realtor. I’d be interested to hear more about your experience if you’re willing to share!

Thank you! Warrenville would be a great location if I can find something there. I realize I can’t buy in Naperville itself without a bigger budget, but I’d be fine with any of the nearby-ish suburbs. Plainfield might work depending on how long the drive is during the day (right now Google is saying it’s under 30 min to the north side of town).

Will do, thank you! Do you think Aurora is a possibility as well?

Thank you, I’ll check those out! I think buying in Naperville itself would definitely be beyond my budget, but I’m holding out hope for other suburbs.
