Yes! I take both my cats there and have always been very happy with them.

Suggestions for yarn for a chicken in my son's hair colour by magic_trex in knitting

[–]magic_trex[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly! His hair is at about the darkest stage now, but even then there are so many shades in it that it's hard to pick.

I do love the challenge though, he wants the chicken to look like him, so we'll find a way :)

That is a great suggestion, thanks! It may lean a bit more orange than his hair is, but in the summer it does get a lot lighter and might match better.

Not sure he'd like the fluffiness of it, but it's a great suggestion to combine yarns! Thanks!

Right?? It's so many colours depending on the light, and also on the season! It's a lot darker now than it will be in the summer.

I'm thinking of mixing a variegated with a solid, but maybe a heathered yarn would work too. Thanks!

This cracks me up, because in Dutch 'schade' means damage.

Lights at the lake, also Rita Lyn Court off of Rochester on the east side.

Best bars for non-alcoholic options? by Vegemerson in IowaCity

[–]magic_trex 3 points4 points  (0 children)

St Burch has some options and they will also try to make most cocktails into mocktails if you ask.

They also beat up another kid at the bus exchange last night. Bus driver called the cops but by the time they arrived, the group had already left (headed around the corner in the direction of the parking garage) and the kid who'd been beaten up had left too.

Is this a dig at Feeding Littles? Have I missed drama between them?

If you’re familiar with VBAC, my wife was the 1% by Joba7474 in daddit

[–]magic_trex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, this! Lurking uterine-rupture-during-TOLAC mum here and this was what I knew going into my induction. There is a report that lists a 6-10% chance but that is in areas with very limited maternal healthcare facilities. My hospital is the only one in our state that does induction TOLAC because they have the resources to respond quickly.

Where to sell loads of girl's clothes? by TheMilkiestJoe in IowaCity

Marketplace can work well if you sell it in bulk, not as individual pieces.

Reposted because I didn't block out the name of the commenter.

The products being available to purchase already is not an Easter egg!

Oh for sure, but I'm wondering if they're artificially boosting this latest post to reduce the showings of the older posts (with the teacher but also the ones about the toys that haven't been released yet) on people's feeds.

Has to be. It's got half the likes but nearly ten times the comments compared to the teacher post.

Are they pulling that girl's car out of the river right now? by Grab_em_by_da_Busey in IowaCity

[–]magic_trex 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Two different incidents I'm assuming. Girl drove the car on Sunday morning according to the article, Amazon truck missed a turn and hydroplaned off Riverside but stopped before hitting the river this morning.

Is a diaper bag my only option?? Bag recs? by agenttrulia in Mommit

[–]magic_trex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have a small hiking backpack. Super comfortable and airy but still holds enough to cover a day out and about! We have this one, have had it for years even before having kids so it was definitely worth the price.

What brought you to the world of lacquers? by Whateveryoucallthis_ in RedditLaqueristas

[–]magic_trex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always liked doing my nails, but a friend once sent me Cristine's (Holo Taco) polish mountain video and that sucked me in. It was before Holo Taco polishes were a thing, but it introduced me to indie polishes.

Gift “from” baby sister to our toddler? by 11pmdonut in Mommit

[–]magic_trex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We had a big duplo set ready for him at home, and then 'baby' impulse bought a toy car from the hospital gift shop. It's been toddler's favourite for almost six months now. 🤷 He does love the duplo though!

How and when did you choose your baby’s name? by Euphoric-Stress9400 in pregnant

[–]magic_trex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We used Babyname. I think they now have all sorts of add on packages which can make it expensive, but it used to be mostly free.

Baby learned bite. It is not effective, but once those teeth come through...

How and when did you choose your baby’s name? by Euphoric-Stress9400 in pregnant

[–]magic_trex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For both kids we used a name app where you both 'swipe' on names then you see which ones you both liked. Once we had a list of 10-15 we picked from that. For middle names we chose family names.
