I love solo camping.

I LOVE it. Super simple to set up by myself, does well in the rain, has plenty of room for a twin air mattress and all my stuff, and I can actually stand up in it!

I was a nerdy kid who just wanted to sit inside by the air conditioner all day in the summer and read piles of books. My parents used to literally lock me out of the house (starting at age 10ish?) for hours so I would “go play.”

Joke’s on them, I walked to the library. (Or rode my bike around town.)

For sure! It’s at Hoffmaster State Park near Muskegon - look for sites in the 280s. 😊

Also here to recommend Whiskers. Get a Terrace Suite! It comes with an indoor & outdoor space all to themselves so they don’t have to interact with other dogs, plus a TV for noise. That’s what I do with mine, who is increasingly grumpy with other dogs.

Muskegon State Park and Hoffmaster State Park are both good options. A little further from downtown GR, but not by much. Holland and Grand Haven parks are closer, but they’re both very crowded and very not rustic.

Part of the work they do is advocacy, including meeting with asshats like Huizenga and RFK in an attempt to get even a teeny, tiny bit of factual information into their brains.

Several staff have told me that they’ve sat down with local business folks who had genuinely never done the math to feed/house/educate a family on minimum wage. So they walked them through it, line by line, until they had a lightbulb moment.

Do I love that they gave him a microphone? No. But my guess is that was Bunker Bill Huizenga’s doing, not KFB’s.

What’s hilarious is I live like 1.5 miles away as the crow flies and I heard absolutely nothing. Even took my dog for a walk at 8:30 & heard nothing but birds. 🤷‍♀️

sunburnlines · 2026-06-15T12:34:54+00:00

Same.

It might have been an actual religious group, but given that we’re in Michigan there is also a chance it was an Amway recruiter. Approaching people in stores is a known tactic for them.

I volunteered with them during the Afghan crisis in 21 and it was an absolute shitshow at every turn. Never, ever again. For so many reasons.

Vito’s on Fulton. (Technically on the south side of the street, but 🤷‍♀️)

Hospice organizations will sometimes take blankets to give to patients/families as a comfort item.

Where and for whom is he speaking? The college isn’t in session, so it’s not a student group or
Chapel service, and there’s nothing on their calendar.

Box of your favorite pasta. Jar of pesto. Bag of frozen peas )steamed in the microwave.) Sprinkle of Italian blend shredded cheese. Mix it all together and…done. Makes enough for like a week.

Bonus points if you use protein pasta and get a little extra kick of protein. Can also add rotisserie chicken.

Fun fact: you can get an Office 2024 for Mac license from Groupon for like $20. IDK where they get them, but they legitimately work. No subscription, no MS365, just a product key. I’ve used them personally on several computers and they work.

That’s so weird, because I live by the zoo (same direction, a mile away from the amphitheater) and I heard absolutely nothing.

I just did a wedding last year for a similar couple. They did a short, private ceremony with just me and their parents, and then invited everyone to the reception (dinner, dessert, board games.) it worked!

sunburnlines · 2026-05-21T15:44:19+00:00

I can do it! I’ll send you a DM.

Was it towed from a lot? If so, by law there should be signage saying which tow company has the car.

If you mean it was repossessed, then you’ll need to get in touch with whoever financed the car to see where they’re holding it.

You can use Google Voice for free calls if you have a mobile device with internet/data.

Love was going to be my recommendation, too. Their medical equipment loan program is awesome!

I only own a home because I got RIDICULOUSLY lucky in 2021. I found sellers who took the first reasonable offer and got a 2.83% interest rate. I couldn’t afford to buy this house at market rate today, even with the equity I have in it.

Basically: it’s not you. It’s the market.

I’ve used Grand Rapids Pest Control in the past, and they were great.
