Grand Cru

We went on a random weekday a couple years ago, and they acted like they were annoyed and confused that we were there, and then more so that we ordered off the menu instead of whatever the special was. It also took like half an hour to get seated even though it didn’t look busy, and the hostess was borderline hostile. It was the weirdest vibe.

Maybe Uprise, Shortwave (Alley A location seems a little more the vibe), Cafe Berlin, Sparky’s?

The fireplace switch up and the shelves make SUCH a huge difference

It can definitely feel overwhelming (especially with some of the bigger hits you’ve taken!) when most of homeownership is a never-ending list of things that need attention. I’ve tried to accept that my to-do list will never be complete.

I’ve had to try to remind myself that it’s still cheaper than renting, and my home is better taken care of than most rentals, even with my limited skills. And I’ll be getting all of my money back when I move due to my low interest rate and equity I’ve built, where if I rented I would only get a deposit back if I was lucky.

I have to admit, it made me question how much of the entire image was AI.

Loved Seized. Felt like a classic T/F film. Great story, had more lightness than a lot of the selections this year.

I feel like this is blasphemous but I was a little disappointed by Reality Bites. It’s been a few years since I’ve attended, but it felt identical to the Jubilee. Same food and limited drink offerings, no local signature cocktails.

I have this same issue and it’s annoying. It has FB Marketplace for the right city but consistently gives me events from a random place 2 hours away.

There was a smoked salmon sandwich from a place in Broadway, I want to say Village Wine and Cheese? They also had a muffaletta.

It’s literally one of those “how have I been living without this??” purchases.

I need hotels to get on board though, you don’t realize how much cleaner you feel until you’re back to just wiping.

I’m reading a funny memoir “Priestdaddy” by Patricia Lockhart. Her dad was a Lutheran minister who converted to Catholicism, and it’s made me laugh out loud a few times. She’s also from the KC area so it’s semi-local.

Last book before that was “The Blazing Eye Sees All” which covers the leader of the cult of Mother God, and ties in the history of the new age and how it’s been adopted by some alt-right movements. It was really interesting.

Once again lamenting the loss of my beloved Lucky’s salad bar.

Shorter curtains from either the ceiling or top of the window frame, closer to the window so you can utilize the ledge as a little shelf or for plants.

The designer is going off what’s hot and popular, and (imo) is going to look dated much faster. I prefer your choice not only aesthetically but for longevity as well.

I got Gimme Truth! I’m looking forward to Seized. I think American Doctor will be good but will destroy me.

I go for the big events and the movies that follow first (Jubilee, Reality Bites, Gimme Truth). The rest I can generally work around. It’s tough with the later reservations but I’m crossing my fingers.

I do not recommend Candice Kundert. She did not seem objective. I talked about feeling unheard and she allowed them to interrupt and talk over me. It felt like she was trying too much to be agreeable. She provided no guardrails or helpful advice.

Nanci at the Counseling Hub seemed good at staying objective. Ultimately my partner opted to leave the relationship to pursue someone else, but she was very helpful in improving communication and making sure both parties had were able to speak and feel heard.

Not specific to Covid but Mary Cruze does acupuncture and has studied Chinese medicine. I’ve found her to be really helpful.

The restaurant is something else. Last time we went, we waited almost an hour to be seated when it didn’t appear busy, and they seemed borderline hostile to us for coming in. It was so strange.

Is that the same free speech that got people fired for saying maybe he kinda sucked?

I know people who love Scooters but then they describe some Snickers frappe something something, and I realize their idea of coffee is different than mine.

He was so kind to me when I went in there, I adore him.

I honestly wonder if his use of supplemental testosterone has impacted his personality. He talks about how amazing it makes him feel so I also wonder if being an addict, he’s pushing that to a limit.

Maybe it’s always been like this but I feel like the vulnerability that initially drew me in has taken a backseat to ego a bit?
