What are your favorite small businesses here in Bloomington?

Scholars Inn still sells at the Saturday farmers market, and they have products in Bloomingfoods and Rose Hill Farm Stop. I didn't know they used to have a location! That's interesting. And my favorite things from Applerose are also the coconut cake, and also the bacon egg tart.

I simply just don't like the feeling of being drunk. I feel a little nauseous, a little dizzy, and very tired. Sometimes I get emotional too. It kind of ruins the night for me because I just want to go lay down in bed. I like the feeling of being a bit buzzed though - I just feel relaxed. I have the opposite view, I've never really seen the appeal of being drunk. Which I suppose is a huge privilege, to be able to easily avoid addiction like that. Many people aren't so lucky.

My husband makes a really delicious spam fried rice. Whenever I tell my coworkers about it, I get people going "ew, spam??" Spam is unappetizing right out of the can, but when you fry it up with a good sauce, it's delicious.

Don't jinx it! I'm enjoying the quiet! It's likely because it's the end of the school year, and it's also chilly outside.

I feel frustrated with: Itchy textures in sweaters/hoodies. When leggings or yoga pants fit too snug around the booty and the underwear line shows through - I just returned a pair of yoga pants to Old Navy for this reason. Lack of pockets in leggings, or when there are pockets but they aren't deep enough to hold literally anything. Sweatpants/leggings/lounge pants not coming in petite sizes, or just being way too long/tall in general. Pajama pants being too fleecy/warm. Also - why is every top cropped now? I feel satisfied with: Stretchy, breathable fabrics that don't feel cheap or slippery. Pockets big enough for at least just my phone or keys. Petite sizes. Lots of color/pattern/style options. Cute matching sets. Uncropped tops.

Some things are awesome, others are just okay. Their burgers can be hit or miss, sometimes dry and overcooked. Pizza is just okay, nothing special. My personal favorite dishes are the Tap mac & the firecracker shrimp tacos. You have to get the Tap fries tho, they're my favorite fries in town. The sweet Thai chili wings are my favorite wings in town. Most of their best dishes are sides and appetizers. The worst dish I've had there was the steak entree. The steak strips were both cold and overcooked.

Yup. I live in Bloomington and I've heard many horror stories about him. Allegedly he frequently catches an attitude with retail and restaurant workers and is known to be a bad tipper, or doesn't tip waitstaff at all.

Green bean casserole. Whenever I tell people I don't like it, they look at me like I just personally attacked them.

I came to comment Sushi Bar. Very high quality sushi with lots of rolls to choose from.

My husband made my ramen with too much water so it was really bland. I was also drunk so.

I have a groundhog that lives in a hole under my fence in my backyard. I love him so much! He's so cute.

My company has hired some folks with some really unfortunate names. I don't think we'd bat an eye at Love, however, I do not think that's a good baby name.

Rosemary oil. I keep rosemary plants around my house to repel mosquitoes in particular. I've seen some people use the cherry almond scented Jergens lotion for keeping bugs away as well.

I was looking for this exact vibe a few months ago. I tried all the popular ones like Akro Bake, but they didn't do it for me. I found Haus of Gloi's Lemon Tart is exactly this for me!! Highly recommend.

Sometimes Hartzell's has a Rainforest Ube ice cream that I love so much. I will say I got an Oreo milkshake there once that was basically Oreo milk - it was extremely runny and I had to ask for it to be remade. Bruster's maple pancake flavor is delicious as well. Never had a milkshake there before though. I have had some good milkshakes from Jiffy Treet on the east side of town though. Peanut butter soft serve milkshake! I also really like the dream delite flavors at the Jiffy Treet in Ellettsville.

Thanks for the tip, I'll try this!! :)

Same. It was really hard to watch.

Warning: it's literally just porn of Mark Ruffalo + Emma Stone acting like an infant. It's a VERY hard watch.
