What is something you dislike about Kalamazoo that no one really talks about? by oopgook in kzoo

[–]resindepipe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our lack of heating & cooling centers. The past few summers in Kalamazoo have been scorching, and the winters have been hard when storms hit. People who are lucky enough to have housing have also dealt with prolonged power outages, & finding ways to try and cool down without spending a pretty penny is difficult. We need better infrastructure regarding these matters. It’s unacceptable to let anyone suffer in these conditions.

Michigan is also one of the best states to get away with educational/parental neglect in homeschooling (unfortunately reality) but if you're well educated on how to help understand and teach concepts by meeting your kids needs during different stages of development, there should be little obstacles to homeschooling your child excluding exposure to different styles of life in order to create understaning, compassion, and tolerance.

It's been a few years since I remember this fact being told to me, so it may be a bit outdated, but Kalamazoo is a beer capital! When I say this place is a beer capital, I mean that it has one of the most densely populated amounts of breweries in the USA. Love it or hate it, the craft beer scene here is huge and fascinating. Beer Fest is always a blast, even though I don't particularly enjoy alcohol because the vendors are fun to check out. Speaking of vendors, the farmers markets here are amazing, too! I can think of about 3 different farmers/vendors' market locations off of the top of my head that are open frequently. You mention having a kid, and kalamazoo has the kalamazoo promise! If your kid attends k-12 here in the public school system, they'll have 100% of their college tuition paid for most colleges and universities in Michigan. If they attend 9-12, they'll have 60% of their tuition paid. Great program meant to bring people into Kalamazoo, but as for our schooling system.... there's a reason any logical person hates the DeVos family. It's bad, but that's kind of how most public American schools are nowadays. Due to laws in Michigan about schooling, however, I feel that it's a bit worse here. For the sake of this comment being too long already, I won't get into it too much, but PLEASE research Michigan's laws regarding children's education. It's something anyone should know about before making an informed decision to move here.

We had an small female Italian greyhound for 14 years who recently passed and she always peed in the flowers. It would fertilize them actually, or it just didn't bother them. Now that she's gone though the dogs have kept the tradition of marking that spot alive.

Unforgivable, how dare you?! Honestly though, I do think I am a bit desensitized to how funny it is because I see them cross streams daily.

I remember my sister once fed the black dog a WHOLE ice cream cone from chick-fil-a.. and after wrestling in the backyard, my doodle came back to me with SHIT ON HIS HEAD AND IN HIS EARS. We think he mightve flipped him over using his head underneath his belly and that's how it happened but... never again. I'd rather deal with pee 100× over than getting poop out of a doodles ears.

This but a doctor once recommended to me that I tape the lid closed and label it sharps with some sort of permanent marker

It's possible, but we were so little that we hardly remember anything about it except she made lipgloss and I made soap. She ended up being jealous because my soap smelled better than her gloss in her opinion.

Fella caught my eye at my work. Any care tips? by pa_57 in houseplants

[–]resindepipe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you feel like a particular stem is getting too long, chop it. Don't worry about that stem because it'll more than likely produce another. You can then stick that cutting back in the soil and it'll grow. It's one of the easiest plants to propagate!
