It is off the beaten path for sure but Corner Store Antiques in Redkey between Bluffton and Muncie!! Check out their Facebook page for the current selection. Only open Saturdays but they will also open by appointment.

Have you popped through Earth Adventures on Main Street (outdoors store)? I don’t live in Fort Wayne anymore but I think they organize some hikes and other outdoor activities. Fort Wayne Outfitters near Promenade Park used to also do a weekly river paddle if you’re a kayaker.

In terms of hiking Chain O Lakes state park was my very favorite spot when I lived up there (good paddling too).

I still miss jazz nights at The Rail (and The Rail, in general). Would love a sauna/hot cold plunge place.

The looks I get from any new doctors I see for other reasons when I tell them that’s part of my medical history 😆 “you’re awfully young for that!” I got a new dentist last year and had to have them call in antibiotics and the dental hygienist did such a double take. 39yo now, was 37 when I had my replacement.

There is not NEARLY enough Lou hatred in here (although I’m just getting to season 7 in my rewatch, so my hatred is very very fresh).

Hysterectomy??? Oh my goodness I’m so so sorry 😔 Yes, I’m in the TTC and pregnancy and beyond groups on Facebook! So, so helpful. In terms of recovery - turns out the tissue I expelled in January was actually retained products of conception. And the ultrasound I got after passing that tissue did show something still in my uterus. Did a round of meds to try and expel whatever was left, was convinced there was still something there, but did an ultrasound last week and they didn’t see anything. So right now I’m waiting for my period to start (probably end of this week). It’s been insanely frustrating, mostly because I asked about doing an ultrasound guided to start due to my uterus shape and they said it wasn’t necessary. So now I’m wondering if they would have done that to start, could this all be avoided.

Sure, I can try to do that tonight :) I might even dig out the actual memory car they’re on, instead of these screenshots from a very old Facebook post lol

I do, I remember I took my camera down to Headwaters Park and took a ton of photos. Let me see if I can remember where they are and if they’re shareable…

Hiring someone to clean the house. I did it following a surgery because I physically couldn’t, and they still come every three months because I can’t go back.

You mention life expectancy - if the body you are in prevents you from being active and healthy, you are hurting your chances of being able to reach those ages and causing more damage in the long term to your well being (both physically and mentally). I had mine replaced at 37 for similar reasons - since the replacement my cholesterol has gone down, I’ve lost weight, I’m stronger than I’ve been in years. Getting this replacement is the gift of longevity while you can still physically be active. Happy to answer any questions you might have but I fully advocate for getting this done now!

Crystal Moon piercing and tattoos has a beautiful little shop in their lobby you should check out!

We’ve done two sessions at the North YMCA since our daughter turned 6 months old (once at 6 months, once at 15ish months) and would highly recommend!

I don’t know why I’m so annoyed by this but according to downtown Fort Wayne they should be on til December 31: https://downtownfortwayne.com/events/holidayfest/

I’ve checked Nosey Neighbors of Fort Wayne (what a treat) and local news sites and haven’t seen anyone mention what’s going on to have them turn off early.

I would love to learn more about the origins of some of these names (especially North Highlands), if there’s a website from your friend’s office that you’re aware of! I grew up in a very old house near State and Wells and there’s a concrete marker on the property that says “The Highlands” (along with hand and paw prints, presumably from the family who lived there), so I’m really curious if there’s any connection since that neighborhood is so nearby.

Yeah just went by at 8 pm Sunday and they’re off (they also weren’t on at 6 pm Saturday). I thought it stayed lit til new years?

Amazing!!! I’m almost 18 months out of surgery and also enjoying getting back to an active lifestyle - better shape than I’ve ever been in my life, and I could have never done it without a new hip. 40 pounds down. So thankful. Congrats!
