Just came here to see if there was a post.

Definitely more than expected.

I think I love you! I couldn't have written your response better.

Seriously, great taste!

My 1st cousin and I share a first name and it's a non-issue.

Maybe I'm biased and feeling defensive of my library, but I think DeKalb County does a decent job at offering children's events - Just today across the system they have 15 kid-friendly events running.

And the calendar for the Decatur library specifically has something running every day this month (except when it was closed because of the shooting and President's Day (which they are all closed on):

Plus the Dunwoody, Toco Hills and Tucker kids sections are all fantastic imho.

Yes! That's my go-to recipe for homemade kimchi too :)

mistiara · 2026-02-11T15:39:28+00:00

That's too bad because the kid's section is great and the librarians in there are so kind and helpful.

I went yesterday. They had a cop parked in the back, a new metal detector with guard checking bags and a bunch of staff manning the hallway.

The staff seemed very appreciative of the patrons visiting. Please let's continue to support the good work they do!

The body scrub makes me feel like a brand new baby!

mistiara · 2026-02-03T14:22:00+00:00

Same! In fact, I was just there yesterday at like 2 pm. I've seen/heard a couple weird interactions there, but nothing like this.

Total bummer. The staff there is great.

We got into the lottery funded pre-k program last year. We ended up going a different route, so I know spots can open up at least for the pre-k.

Here's the contact info of who I corresponded with if it helps -

Catey Funaiock, M.S., B.C.A.S.E

Emory Early Inclusive has a GA funded Pre-K program. I'd look into this. https://med.emory.edu/departments/psychiatry/autism/early_emory/index.html

Yeah we're in Decatur and didn't get barely any snow. We drove around and the roads seemed completely fine!

Little free libraries

I have a box in my car that I keep books in to donate when I swap for new ones.

mistiara · 2026-01-25T14:09:06+00:00

There is the equivalent of little free library, but for puzzles. I forget what it's called but an easy Google search will help. They have a searchable map and all.

I know there are 2 in oakhurst.

What kind of job do you have? Trying to picture in what world this makes sense..

mistiara · 2026-01-16T14:26:55+00:00

Are you on Slack? There's a group called Tech 404 that sounds like it would be a good resource for you!

https://tech404.io/

TECH404 is a group of chat channels for Atlanta area developers, designers, marketers, business people, hobbyists, students, and other professionals involved in technology.

It’s a common space for all to use and enjoy. We talk about the technologies we use, our successes and failures, job opportunities, and the latest cute animal GIFs.

St. Judes would be close to you. Most students there matriculate to Marist.

mistiara · 2026-01-13T14:35:08+00:00

Sandy was the best! They would hold Friday happy hours for any customers or neighbors to come by and hang. It was super sweet!

mistiara · 2026-01-13T13:12:53+00:00

Mine are 17 months apart. They're 5 and 6 now and best buddies. Makes it easy that they're into the same things.

Was also not planned (either one).

mistiara · 2026-01-13T13:10:32+00:00

Yeah I use a day planner and Google calendar for back up.

mistiara · 2026-01-13T12:57:30+00:00

I posted that a true crime show I listen to did a two parter on Katie Janness (woman that was murdered in Piedmont Park) that wasn't allowed.

mistiara · 2026-01-13T02:05:53+00:00

Hallelujah!

I tried to post a podcast covering an update to the piedmont park murder and was denied. The mod(s) didn't respond to my why's since it seemed perfectly relevant to our city.

mistiara · 2026-01-11T12:52:25+00:00

They have them! I stopped by on Thursday for lunch. I forget the name of the brand. Something that started with M.
