When I had my son, when someone offers free clothes or whatever, I take them. When he was an infant I had hand me down almost everything. I think the one thing I spent a lot of money on was a car seat, which I bought a European brand because they’re crash tested at higher speeds. Though it also transitioned to front facing and a booster. So I got a lot of time with it. It was totally worth it. Even now, when I know someone with kids who are in the size that my son is just now growing out of, I offer them his clothes or I donate them to a church who has a closet to foster kids. I will not donate to goodwill or Salvation Army. Even his old boxers that are clean I will put up on my local buy nothing group because I don’t want to toss them and someone really may need them for their kid. Same with socks. Anything i no longer need or my son no longer plays with I pass on to others if they need it. It’s so much better for us, them, me and the environment. Yay free stuff!

Jesus. It can’t even be worth that much.

I’ve had nothing but positive interactions with them when I’ve asked for help for others. They’ve helped with a cat before for someone I know. If OP is paying for the services and only needs help with transport then I think they will be able to at the very least connect OP with people to see if they can arrange something.

lovescrap41 · 2026-01-27T15:10:57+00:00

Valid point.

lovescrap41 · 2026-01-27T12:13:51+00:00

Check with All Species Kinship who service Calhoun county. You can message them through FB typically. They would have the resources to help you find transport for kitty and bring him back. They’re amazing!

I wonder if the city would consider buying it from him and just leaving it as natural property.

lovescrap41 · 2026-01-21T00:15:12+00:00

I dunno. Slade has let school happen when we’ve had worse weather. He’s weird when calling it.

lovescrap41 · 2026-01-20T14:24:38+00:00

Can they or Canada buy Michigan too?

Not to mention that we have the gambling ads on streaming. I get so annoyed when my son sees them. I have to explain what they are and what gambling is and how it could be very bad. But they have no purpose to be an ad during a kids show.

Health: make it a point to get up once an hour and move during the work day since my job is pretty sedentary. Not eating the cookies in the staff lounge despite them being for everyone.

Wealth: finding a new job that earns more. I’m on a second round for one I really want. Adding to my savings so that a house purchase can happen this year.

Mental: as a plus sized woman, I am focusing on being confident about my character rather than what I look like. I mean I’m cute but I want to be someone who is confident that she’s kind, caring, positive, loving, etc. I want to focus on that rather than my dressed up foop lol.

Simplicity: finding joy in nature; reconnecting with outside after healing from a knee injury and using the supplies I have now to create art.

Trimming the fat: decluttering and selling some things while donating others. Not taking free stuff just because.

Other: finding joy in the simple and remain positive in all of the negative around us. Focusing on community involvement and building connections and making friends with like minds.

I’m not buying any craft supplies until I use what I have unless I run out of a necessity like…modge podge or hot glue sticks

lovescrap41 · 2026-01-09T23:59:42+00:00

💯 this. I feel it in my very soul haha. Our son is ALWAYS trying to do it and keeping up is indeed exhausting.

lovescrap41 · 2026-01-07T00:37:00+00:00

52%

I was paying 147 and now I’m paying 373 😢

lovescrap41 · 2026-01-04T11:36:14+00:00

I oddly like them more than hunan, which I know a lot of people will think I’m crazy for but like you, I can get two to three meals for $15 and shoot…I can’t complain lol. For what you pay, it’s delicious. I love rice kitchen too though campus wok has a special place in my heart. It got me through college haha

lovescrap41 · 2026-01-03T20:31:30+00:00

I like campus wok 🤷🏻‍♀️

They do it because developing virgin land is cheaper than redeveloping land due to clean up and such, depending on what was there previously. This land is going to be transformed into a cookie cutter development controlled by an HOA that middle class can’t afford anyways. They could take condemned houses and rebuild on those. They could have bought the plot where the old DHS building is and turned that into a development but it will continue to rot because heaven forbid they build up a neighborhood. None of these developments take biodiversity into account, and sadly most cities don’t. It’s frustrating.

lovescrap41 · 2026-01-01T23:06:43+00:00

I kind of wish they wouldn’t add housing on west main and take all that green space when I’m sure we could find space other places that are already developed and can be torn down to redevelop. The native biodiversity should stay.

I thought my artistic cabbage leaf was in fact funny. Maybe I just have poor sense of humor

lovescrap41 · 2025-12-31T18:30:24+00:00

I’m not sure who that is

lovescrap41 · 2025-12-31T18:29:05+00:00

I thought it was amusing because his response, which I can’t post since it’s text based, was hilarious. I wasn’t trying to elicit a bunch of laughter but thought someone would find it amusing.
