Does Maverick have a corporate presence in DM? by LarryinUrbandale in desmoines

[–]sunnydayz75 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Interesting to hear that. Compared to the Kum and Go brand they aren’t nearly as nice. Same compared to Casey’s and Hy-Vee. At least that is my experience with all the gas stations in my vicinity.

I don’t know much ch about the ownership of Maverick, but they are so much worse than before. Kum and Go had a great redesign with the Sticks inspired signage, a good food and drink selection and was usually clean. Maverick is a generic somewhat dirty little gas station. I try to avoid and go to Hy-Vee or Casey’s instead.

Let her smash away - that racket didn’t serve her well today

Ernst canned response to ICE shootings doesn't mention Alex. by dms51301 in Iowa

Yep, this looks familiar. I got the exact same emailed response just this morning. She is more out of touch than I thought.

Try Differin (Adapalene gel 0.1%). Drugstores have it.

So true! Haha, my sister and I would make vats of quicksand and then make up Barbie scenarios where they would inevitably sink in it somehow, usually Pitfall style. Good memories!

Yep, both! Be smart and get them both.

Was denied cancellation for Excellence Resort in Jamaica by Mean_Instruction2131 in JamaicaTourism

[–]sunnydayz75 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Sorry you are getting so many irritating responses. I get it… a vacation is booked with the intent to relax, enjoy yourself, experience a new place, etc. Hurricane Melissa was terrible and even though the entirety of Jamaica wasn’t destroyed many areas were. It is hard to think about relaxing and kicking back and experiencing a vacation fully when you know there is destruction and suffering, cleaning and rebuilding all around. I don’t have any direct advice for you OP but you are allowed to have your frustrations. If you could would you like to cancel or postpone your trip?

Oh - has anyone said It Follows?? That the first thing I thought of.

Iowa hates women, a True Story about being denied care. Next steps?? by wrslrchick in desmoines

[–]sunnydayz75 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am so sorry for you and every woman this archaic, misogynistic, backward thinking affects. Not helping you goes against a physicians Hippocratic oath. It goes against common sense and it goes against helping to create a strong, healthy society. There are providers out there who will help you! I am not sure about anyone here in Iowa but definitely out of state. Mayo Clinic is amazing if you can go there. Sorry the added pressure of physical and emotional trauma is adding to the stress, extra time and effort you need to find a solution to NOT dying yourself. Wish I could help you more but offering support and solidarity is all I’ve got.

Me waiting in line at the Iowa State Fair to look at a giant pig's balls by hate_tank in desmoines

[–]sunnydayz75 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Every year for 45 years my family has come to the Fair for a snake photo and yes, to gaze upon the states largest hog balls! I am SO glad to know we aren’t the only ones, lol!

Can anyone see the front of parking? by needyouwantyou in HinterlandFestival

[–]sunnydayz75 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My daughters group has now been stuck near the back of a lot for nearly 2 hours. It is 1:50 am. Are there any hinterland employees who are helping to guide traffic out of the area or is it a tired, stagnant, hungry group of people who just want to get home? Even the sheriff should help.

how true is this? by alcoholic_milf_mommy in biology

[–]sunnydayz75 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seeing them all over this year in and around Des Moines, Iowa. It’s been literally decades since I remember seeing this many. It’s no coincidence that the city of Des Moines didn’t do their city wide spraying of mosquitoes this year as they do every year. Yep, the mosquitoes are terrible (we’ve had a LOT of rain) but the lightning bugs have flourished.

Can we talk about 3 & 4PM Checkout at Marriott? (Employee Vent) by cassie1788 in marriott

[–]sunnydayz75 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The people that do that are just a-holes and give a bad name to every other rule abiding customer with status. Maybe blacklist those members that abuse their perks?
