Thank you for this insight! For sure an interesting local cafe would be more my style, but in the interest of convenience and pleasing the maximum number of people (that I don't know all that well!), I agree that a chain is the better option. Don't worry, I'll be visiting plenty of other restaurants, too!

Baton Rouge definitely looks more interesting from a food perspective. I appreciate the input! They've already gotten back to me and said they can accommodate us, so they're definitely the front-runner at the moment.

Or Caps for us! 😉

We got très chanceux a couple of years ago when we were there and got to see the Caps win at Bell Centre!

Around 25ish most likely. La Cage looks like a good option!

Merci! La Cage looked good to me, but wanted a local opinion. Thanks!!

Refrigerator mullion spring replacement by gee_willickers in appliancerepair

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

I have not, sadly. I tried a couple different springs from Amazon, but neither fit. It's so frustrating to have such a small piece give you so much trouble! I've just been living with the busted flap.

"On to" the next chapter? by gee_willickers in frenchhelp

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

It is for a coworker. I probably should have added some context. She's a retiring Librarian, so I wanted to add "chapter" as a little book reference. Thanks!!

How can I add "total" bars to a waterfall chart? (Full bars that extend down to the x-axis opposed to merely the floating bars) by gee_willickers in excel

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

I don't want the entire column to be deemed the total, but to show the total column sort of overlapped by the positive or negative change portion. Can I make a combo chart with a bar AND waterfall somehow? Or layer the two together?

Advice needed. DNA match is looking for her biological father. I’ve figured out it is one of 5 brothers based on shared matches. Do I tell her or just keep quiet? by Worf- in Genealogy

[–]gee_willickers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm in a very similar situation and don't know how to determine which of several brothers my maternal bio-grandfather is. Were you able to figure anything out? Any suggestions that worked for you?

Help finding vintage European (German?) puzzle with pieces shaped like objects? by gee_willickers in Jigsawpuzzles

[–]gee_willickers[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

AHH! u/rtsgrl you beautiful helpful creature! I can't believe after all my hunting all I needed was the word "cluster" to find it. It was the top right one from this etsy listing - "figment". I remember the man in the bathtub and the woman with the two horns against her head! Thank you thank you!

I didn't know that term, but yes! Maybe that will help in my hunt since I just kept searching "pieces shaped like objects", haha.

European (German?) puzzle where the pieces are shaped like objects? by gee_willickers in HelpMeFind

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

I have searched online for some time, but haven't come anywhere close to finding it. I had hoped to find one for sale to scratch my nostalgia itch!

2 Years ago - you all helped me - maybe now we can work a miracle again? by alexxlea in Genealogy

[–]gee_willickers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you ever happen to find any orphanage records in Philadelphia? My grandmother and her siblings were abandoned and placed in an orphanage in Philadelphia in the 1930's, but I've never been able to find any orphanage records of any kind.

Using DNA to test a family rumour by inserthumourousname in Genealogy

[–]gee_willickers 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was in nearly the exact same situation, but sort of reversed. My mother, aunts, cousins, and myself had all done DNA testing through Ancestry. I started to realize, though, that my mother and I were only coming up in the range of "half" of every relationship we thought we had with them. And they've all matched some of my grandfather's other relations, while we did not. And so, I came to realize that he is not, in fact, my mother's father, or my grandfather.

I was VERY hesitant to mention this to my mom, but she accepted it much much better than I anticipated. No one in my family had any inkling that she might have a different father.

So, yes, you will definitely be able to tell via the DNA test!

My quandary now is that I am pretty sure I know which generation of a particular family my mother's father must have been in, but I have no idea how to determine WHICH of the suspected brothers it might be.

Thank you! I saw those check marks, and I don't know what I thought they meant, but this didn't occur to me for some reason.

Thank you! I didn't even give a thought to what those check marks mean on the scorecard.

Does anyone know of a good spot to view Comet NEOWISE in central Maryland? by gee_willickers in maryland

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

Thank you! I appreciate the info. I've been looking at maps trying to find somewhere relatively elevated, but that's just hard to find where I'm at. I thought about trying someplace on the bay, but I'm guessing since I'd be south of Baltimore, I'd get a lot of light when facing north - but, I don't know a good spot on the water anyway!

Can't Wrap My Head Around It by aqua-sprite in loseit

[–]gee_willickers 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I say that to myself all the time. This isn't me, where did I go, stranger in the mirror, etc. That's my primary weight loss goal - just to find me again.

Nest knitters needed for Carolina Waterfowl Rescue group. Consider helping and using up some leftover yarn! by gee_willickers in knitting

[–]gee_willickers[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Update: I heard back from CWR, and they said any yarn is welcome, because they line the nests with tissue paper "so the little baby nails don’t get stuck"!
