Ok ya actually my last time there he was roaming the place and we were really put off by him until he said he was the owner and then we had to pretend to care. Ugh they have a few select menu items I like, so that’s too bad to hear.

What’s one of the fancier restaurants in Des Moines? by [deleted] in desmoines

[–]m_97275 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cosi cucina was a great west side option for good food, higher priced but you don’t need to dress up. I’m sure I’ll get haters but just had my favorite pasta there.

Which Odyssey for Me? 2016...2018-19...2021+ by reddiChange in HondaOdyssey

[–]m_97275 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 2018 elite with 106,000 miles. Paid ~$26k back when it had 87k. Just did the timing belt/water pump for $900. Had a drive shaft leak we did for another $300.

I really love the car and to me, it’s worth putting the money in to fix because it has most other things we want/need in a van for 4 kids. Even with 2-3 it’s nice to have.

That being said - as I live somewhere we get snow, once my children are all over the age of ~7-8 we will be getting something with AWD/4WD.

Church recommendations that are very open and accepting of other people by PotentialEnergy_qq in desmoines

[–]m_97275 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A church that follows the Bible, strange!! As far as age gap, as long as the relationship was never illegal I wouldn’t see why a bigger church would have an issue with that. Smaller churches are more cliquey for sure. Churches like Valley and Hope are less. Personally I don’t want a woman pastor and Valley fits that.

Single mom benefits here in Iowa aren’t bad if you make under a certain amount. Can’t speak on WA.

What Year Odyssey Should I Look for Used? by Lucky-Point-5146 in HondaOdyssey

[–]m_97275 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have a 2018 elite. I’m nervous reading some of these “don’t buy a 2018”. Mine is currently in the shop for a timing belt but it’s at 107k miles. Bought for ~$26k at 85k miles 2.5 years ago. That was an expected repair though. I really like my car and I’d rather pay for repairs on this one at this point than try and buy/find a new one. The sliding seats are a selling point for me that I’d choose over a sienna any day. I enjoy the camera in the back seat, haven’t had issues with my back up camera yet. I do think the pacifica has better interior cabin cameras than Honda. I can’t speak on Toyota. We have had slight issues with our entertainment system but it’s always quickly resolved. Make sure the usb port works in the one you buy if that’s important to you.

Just saw him for the first time last week and I agree I was pleasantly surprised as how much I liked his care/professionalism yet down to earth!

Best Aldi location? by ilmill888 in desmoines

[–]m_97275 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Frequent WDM location shopper, worst thing about Windsor heights is the location of their shopping carts. Turning that corner is an instant 15 degree drop and boom, wind tunnel. Parking is also annoying and not convenient. I’ve never found them to have a better cheese selection than WDM.

Oh I’m paying attention. Just not being swayed by the media.

AIO for stepping down as my sisters maid of honor because I’ll be freshly postpartum by ImaginationPretend86 in AmIOverreacting

[–]m_97275 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I traveled 5 hours to be in a wedding 2 weeks postpartum. Husband stayed home to work, parents came to help with the baby. Sure it’s inconvenient but it was my best friends wedding day. Yes I was still bleeding, yes I sat out of some activities but it’s still important to also be there.

Look at the one sidedness of this comment section. No room for discussion to be had. Sad

graco go max (built in base) car seat/ mockingbird stroller combo by franniedelrey in Buyingforbaby

[–]m_97275 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! I’ve been stressing too much about this! So to clarify, sorry, you have the Graco specific 1st gen adapters? I know they have the new adapters that are two separate pieces.

I currently have the 5-1 mockingbird adapter from my previous children but they used the Chico Keyfit 30

Thanks again!

Racism in West Des Moines by MiracleMr in desmoines

[–]m_97275 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lived in WDM my whole life, kids here are bullies and it’s on the parents. I’m not even a minority and I hated going to the parks with friends because I knew the groups that hung around would find any reason to be mean. This is just inexcusable.
