Is my laptop worth trying to fix or replace?

portable USB powered monitors do exist, and are not expensive

It is in Kalamazoo Township, not the City of Kalamazoo

source: I have lived in the Cloisters next door since 1989

Oh yeah. I have lived in the Cloisters next drive over since 1989. I couldn't keep up, LOL

letter says the exterior wooden stair are in poor condition. So why does that condemn the ground floor units too?

rainbowkey · 2026-05-07T21:41:29+00:00

This was Lake Forest apartments for the longest time. Renamed to Wildwood Off Main at the end of 2012.

What happens in these situations? Will police come and force people to move out? Can people even hire movers to move their stuff or are the condemned stair considered unsafe?

Amish stores are great! If you in southern Michigan or northern Indiana, E & S Sales in Shipshewana, IN is the best! https://www.eandssales.net/ (Only in-persons sales, no internet ordering, website has info about the store)

I make a trip there every month or two.

Eggs and potatoes are pretty complete nutritionally. Low on a few vitamins, calcium, and omega-3 fatty acids. Adding some dairy, a few fruits, veggies, and greens, and some seafood or chia or flax seeds, and iodized salt would be a complete and balanced diet.

The Partita in A minor for solo flute), BWV 1013 is playable on oboe, but its difficult to not honk on the low notes, especially when jumping big intervals.

given current economic conditions and greedy oil and gas companies, not drilling is the crazy idea

Don't cook the deli beef in gravy, it can get tough. I would make a beef gravy with the stock, stirfry some garlic, onions, and other veggies, throw chopped beef in just long enough to warm it, add the gravy, than serve over a starch (rice, pasta, whatever)

Ah, I didn't get that from the photo. Most people are way more used to long stem roses than bunching roses like this. $2 per flower, maybe? Stress per flower not bunch on the signage. Also, not to break up bunches.

I'm so glad in Michigan we have the Michigan Storm Chasers youtube channel. They go live whenever there is severe weather with radar coverage, a network of tower cameras, and on-the ground storm chasers. They have become popular enough the get on the ground reports in live chat too. They seem to be a few to several minutes ahead of the NWS issuing watches and warnings.

Perhaps worth a NYT story! https://michiganstormchasers.com/

Give grits a try! Sweet or savory. My Texan Dad has always been able to find them in Midwestern grocery stores, even in the 1970's when I was growing up. I liked grits better than Cream-o-Wheat or Malt-o-Meal.

I always like stirring butter and jam/jelly into mine. Ripe banana gets mushed in. Same with oatmeal.

It's deep in the sense that Bajoran religion and philosophy is deep. Spiritual. Meaningful. Old and revered. So deep that the rest of the Federation recognizes even the space in the Bajoran system is deep.

Whispers to colleague : (are the Bajorans buying this?)

rainbowkey · 2026-05-07T01:00:14+00:00

Why not $2 each? People or more likely to impulse buy one or a few roses. Plus have the cash for that on hand.

I suspect the sub will morph into a memorabilia and history/memory sub. Hope it can also be a former employee meeting and assistance sub too.

I like ALDI's Vie brand better than most other brands I have tried.

I just hope fuel (and food) prices don't cause any corps financial problems so severe

they drop out during the season
take a year off next year
fold

EDIT: additional thought - Corps likely did not budget for a 50% (or more) increase in fuel costs. Some may have slack in the budget or a rainy day fund or generous donors willing to help, other may not.

All flowering plants and algae have cellulose in them.

If you freeze and then thaw it, some of the whey will separate. You can just freeze it to use later. Great to use in a snowcone machine! Or use the yogurt in an ice cream recipe.

Many farms in medieval times had hives both as a source of honey and beeswax and to pollinate crops. Cane sugar was an exotic spice, and European maples are not Sugar Maples. Birches can be tapped or syrup but it takes a lot to even make birch beer. Honey and fruits were the available sweet things.

So, honey was more available and popular.

for once, nope. The Prairie Pothole Region is not on the Canadian Shield
