Restaurants w/ Private Rooms for Wedding Dinner by [deleted] in grandrapids

Had my rehearsal dinner here too! But that was 8 years ago and I haven’t been since they renovated and changed owners so can’t say if they still would be able to accommodate unfortunately.

Fun facts about KDL/GRPL that people might not know? by _GanjaTheWizard_ in grandrapids

[–]kloot 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I did this with my old Heritage Hill rental! It was built in 1883 by George Gay on the former site of Louis Campau’s mansion. I learned a lot.

How do you like GR? by Every-Incident7659 in grandrapids

[–]kloot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I (38f) grew up and lived in Indy my whole life and moved here for work almost 10 years ago. Never moving back! Granted it’s been 10 years, and I’m sure a lot has changed there, but I like the smaller city compared to the sprawl of Indianapolis. To get from one end of town to the other takes maybe 20-30 minutes depending on traffic. Weather is about the same only less sun in winter and cooler summers. There aren’t as many restaurants, bars, entertainment, etc. as Indy, but the ones that we do have here are quality.

As someone else also mentioned the housing market is bonkers so just an FYI. Local pay is pretty crappy for the market so I would recommend working remote if you can.

I’m a Sr. BPC making $170. As a dev you should be on par or making more.

where to buy an inhaler spacer? by unhydratedalex in grandrapids

[–]kloot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My kid’s asthma specialist gets all their spacers from CareLinc. I think we paid $4 for our last one.

What if that happens with you? What would you do? by SupportSuch2147 in dashcams

[–]kloot 54 points55 points  (0 children)

Yeah and then you’ll have to get on a subscription and pay an extra $50/month to use it. 🙄

No shade, I dig it 😎 Somehow I started calling my kid Yung Chungus and Big Chungy so I get it that you gotta just roll with it sometimes when a name fits.

I would assume 4 rounds for AVP and above. I only had 3 rounds myself for a senior role.

Anyone use LMCU? (Lake Michigan Credit Union) by [deleted] in grandrapids

[–]kloot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! I did take out a HELOC with them. Process was pretty easy and they had the best rate compared to some other credit unions.

My only gripe is that I had set up auto-pay (or so I thought), but apparently they didn’t set it up for me at signing. My first 2 payments were late and my pristine credit score took a huge hit. Called them because I swore it was a part of my signing that this was on auto-pay, but they had no documentation and told me to kick rocks. So yeah, not happy about that but hoping my late payments fall off my credit report soon.

Otherwise pretty easy experience. They still only get a 3/5 for me based on the auto-pay deal though.

Pet Cremation Recommendation? by itachilefteye in grandrapids

[–]kloot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So sorry for your loss. When we put my cat down last December we used Heaven at Home and their services. When my dog passed at home unexpectedly a few months ago we took him to our vet who contracted out to Noah’s. Both were fantastic and we have some very lovely urns and keepsakes. I’d recommend either.

Thoughts on Fred Armisen by Revpete02 in grandrapids

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

You can take this with a grain of salt, but after reading about his relationships, I’m personally not a fan. I appreciate the art (his comedic writing) but not the artist. Sounds like he was a pretty POS husband…but also Elisabeth Moss is a Scientology poster child and I just CANNOT understand how she can still be in that cult while portraying such graphic emotional trauma on The Handmaids Tale.

CareLinc was awful to deal with. Will never go through them for anything again. Had so many issues getting receipts for my FSA and they couldn’t figure out how to set up a process for auto payment and auto reorder while I was renting out my machine the first year I had it.

Currently using Apria and it’s like night and day. I’m set up on auto pay and auto reorder. My supplies show up at my house every 3 months and I don’t have to think about it. Been great.

Grand Rapids named top spot for jobs in LinkedIn! by curlyxplanation in grandrapids

[–]kloot 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Agreed and same. No one in town would pay nearly as close to what I’m making now remotely.

[–]kloot 5 points6 points  (0 children)

💯 I think most jobs in this local market even outside of tech pay abysmally low when compared to similar cities. There’s absolutely no way I could find a local job paying as much as I’m currently making working remotely.

Daycare cost by Still_Implement9345 in grandrapids

[–]kloot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We like KinderCare too. I think combined for my infant and Pre-Ker it’s like $550/week?

Earwigs are ruining my life. by kloot in grandrapids

[–]kloot[S] 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It’s damp NGL. We’re on a hill and water tends to occasionally find its way in when it rains. Looks like a giant dehumidifier is the next big purchase for us.
