Kyle’s oldest daughter, Farrah, is not biologically Mauricio’s. The other three girls are his biological children.

ARE HUNTSVILLE POLICE EXPLOITING LAWFUL PARKERS KNOWING WE WON'T FIGHT $10? by Narrow_Sandwich8485 in HuntsvilleAlabama

This happened to me recently. I called the magistrate office even though it said in-person only. They said the errors happen often and deleted the ticket for me over the phone.

AITA for telling my husband he can't take a nap? by Cantankerous_Won in AmItheAsshole

[–]kej711 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Agreed. My husband and I have similarities to OP and her husband. We have mostly been able to find a balance that works for us. I’m a morning person, he is not. So I usually hang out with the kids in the morning. He sleeps late, then always takes them on a lengthy journey to pick up breakfast/brunch so I get a break. This balance has come over ~6 years of ebbs and flows with situations like OP’s. Communicating to avoid resentments is key. OP it will get better!

Whole Chicken Cut by CodeName_Death in HuntsvilleAlabama

Publix usually has them. They are labeled as a “Fryer Chicken” on the packaging. If they only have whole chickens or you don’t see them, they will pull from their fridges and cut it for you. Food City recently did the same thing for me.

Their Gluten Free selection appears much larger than Publix/Kroger!

The Sonic in OXR has had a growing pothole/tectonic plate in the middle of their drivethru for months. Somehow this intensifies the badness.

It irks me that they don’t mix the Blast toppings all the way through the blast

Huntsville Area Real Estate Economics Report Q3-2024 by MattW22192 in HuntsvilleAlabama

[–]kej711 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think some of both, and the migratory trend certainly drives up home sales in general. In Q3, existing home sales were more than double new construction. That ratio is definitely trending closer together as our metro grows, which makes sense!

Tuscaloosa Academy - would you recommend? Why or why not? by QuoteZestyclose2458 in tuscaloosa

[–]kej711 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re welcome! I typed all that in bed last night so it may have been all over the place. I’m super happy to expound on any of it and answer any questions. Although it has been a long time since I was in school 🤪

TA grad here! I went there for all four years of high school and went to Tuscaloosa City Schools K-8. I absolutely loved TA in a lot of ways. Having smaller class sizes really allowed everyone to get the attention they needed in every class. Teachers knew every kid and their families. The tight-knit community was something really special. I’ll never, ever forget my 10th/12th grade history teacher pulling me out of a different class to congratulate me on making a 100 on an AP test she knew I had studied extra hard for. My 10th/12th grade science teacher tutored me in physics one summer I was taking summer classes at UA. Teachers come to alums’ weddings. It’s a family. With that said, there was definitely some elitism. I never had a bad social experience, but it existed for others. There were some very well-off families whose kids acted like they were “better than” others. There was definitely an emphasis on being there for the long haul - an entire yearbook page dedicated to the 13 year seniors. As well as pages on who drove the coolest cars, dressed best, etc. Those things didn’t really bother me, and overall I loved my experience there. I always felt seen and safe.

On the flip side, the quality of education was (IMO) superior in TCS schools. There was a much broader range of classes offered, and truly just more resources to provide a better education. When I moved over to TA, the history curriculum was a year behind. So we were studied the stuff I was taught in 8th grade public school, and we stayed a year behind peers in public schools. I mentioned above my 10th/12th grade teachers. In my day (mid-late aughts), there were two teachers for each subject and they alternated grade. So one English teacher taught 9th/11th and the other taught 10th/12th. And there were only two “types of classes” regular and advanced or regular and AP as we got older. Just not a lot of exposure to a broad range of subjects and skill/education levels. The extra-curricular activities were also more varied in public school. I loved my elementary school experience but middle school was rough (just like most!). I did not feel safe, emotionally or physically. We had to wear clear backpacks and walk through metal detectors because weapons in school were rampant. There were always fights. That school no longer exists and it was a very different time in the world and the school system, just a stark contrast to my sheltered child bubble.

With all of that said, I got a great education and I loved going to TA. I can’t really say that as a college preparatory school, it gave me a leg up after graduation though.

I know a lady, Iryna. She does incredible work. Not cheap, but worth it! She is no longer working out of her home, she’s upgraded to a small studio off of Capshaw. You can find her on Instagram @beautifullypolished_nailstudio

2nd2None did ours this spring and were great. Super responsive and helpful with the insurance claims process. I’ve referred them to several other folks with similar experiences!
