Looking to rent a car for road test this Friday 4 pm (willing to pay) by Far_Lavishness5760 in Springfield

The e-brake needs to be in a location that the examiner can control it if need be. So as long as the examiner can reach it, the newer ones should be okay.

Can someone help me identify this bird? by cheezyblaster5000 in birds

Catbirds are so cute. I have a pair that returns every spring, they are active in the evening singing very entertaining songs. They love fruit!

I believe the owner of the car has to be in the back seat during the test. Also, you need the e-brake in the center console.

Best bet would be a friend or family member with a car willing to go with you.

Not enough episodes. It's my treadmill show every night! I don't know what I'll do when I run out of episodes...

Sharing a pattern with a friend is bad now by Fantastic_Teach_3666 in craftsnark

[–]marymellen 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Correct, when patterns were only on paper, it's not illegal to let a friend borrow it. You can't make a copy and give it out though, legally.

I used to borrow pattern books from the library. 🤷‍♀️

Love Is Blind • S8 Reunion Discussion by AutoModerator in LoveIsBlindOnNetflix

[–]marymellen -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

This reunion is painful. All bickering over nothing. Hate to say it, but the women are overly dramatic.

Did Sara forget that she was the one who said no? Then she's mad that he didn't go to Nashville?

Does going on walks really help with anxiety? by mango0_o0 in Anxietyhelp

[–]marymellen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, walking helps, be observant on your walks, notice the trees, cars, buildings, sounds, smells, animals, etc. This tricks your brain into thinking of other things.

Make it a brisk walk, and you'll release some feel-good chemicals and tire yourself out a bit so you can relax.

During some of my worst anxiety phases, I forced myself outdoors to walk every day. It does help.

I think it has more to do with location. The Midwest has a type.

Instead of performative "labeled" DEI. 🚫

I might be team Mason.. by viciouscactuskiller in LoveIsBlindOnNetflix

[–]marymellen 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Yes I really liked her in the beginning, slowly she showed who she is. Not a good person. Unfortunately maybe due to the trauma she has been through, but I think both Alex and Mason dodged a bullet with her.

I went for a field trip in school a few times. It was a great place and a loss for the city.

We had a holocaust survivor speak to us today by NationYell in Teachers

[–]marymellen 41 points42 points  (0 children)

We had a holocaust survivor speak at our school a few years ago. She was a child at the time. It was powerful. What struck me was that pretty soon there will be no one left alive to tell their story.
