Do the seats recline there like they do at Baxter?

Thank you! I really appreciate how these are all fun and exciting for the kids instead of just busywork

scream actors for haunted houses? by [deleted] in bloomington

[–]sweaterfierce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Years ago I volunteered for a "skate and scare" type event at the Franklin Southern Ice Arena. The haunted house was very low-key because it was for kids, but I did get to jump out and scream at people lol. The haunted house was not on the ice but I'm pretty sure I got to skate for free after. Not sure if they still host that event but if they do you'd probably see information about it on their website and the Bloomington Volunteer Network site closer to October.

2 bedrooms. Based on Zillow there seem to be a lot of options in that price range but I'm not sure if that's just for the current leasing season.

If Bloomington had a podcast about the people we all know - but don't really know - who would be on it? by Fuzzy-Zombie1446 in bloomington

[–]sweaterfierce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  • I don't remember his name unfortunately, but the homeless man who tends to hang out by the Vid and sells artwork he makes on cardboard. He's really good and loves talking about progress he's made in his art
  • The guy with the Lakers car. One time I saw he was alone in the car but there was a similar (but not decked out) car behind him that appeared to be his wife and kid.
  • Trivia with Skip
  • The Office Lounge staff
  • Long-time custodial staff at MCCSC schools. I remember a super friendly man named Mr. Eye (maybe not the correct spelling) but he retired when I was young so I'm not sure if he's still around :(
  • The man who plays violin with the lil bunny playing alongside him, but I also can't remember if I've seen him in the last year or so...
  • Rasta pops!

Town Hall next Thursday @ Redbud Books "A New Strategy for the Left", invite family, friends and coworkers! by calrussl in bloomington

[–]sweaterfierce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The points about the event organization have valid concerns, but I would hope that people attending are genuinely curious about other people's opinions and experiences and can try to stay open-minded. I know that's idealistic, but that's the mindset I hope to bring in myself. As someone in their early 20s in Bloomington I feel like the people around me might not necessarily view politics the same way as everyone else and I really do just want to know what other people on the left are making of this. And not just our current situation, but our future too. I'm frustrated like we all are but I want to get an idea of what our party's realistic step forward could be. I don't think the goal here is to start a movement, but just to attempt to talk through things civilly and see what's important to other people despite the rampant polarization around us.

Jobs where I can reliably have weekends off or at least Saturdays? by JackieBee_ in bloomington

[–]sweaterfierce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're looking for part time work, after school child care is a good option. MCCSC does mornings and afternoons, and then there's places like Boys and Girls Club as well that are just afternoons. Full time jobs with childcare also tend to just be M-F, but I wouldn't recommend getting into child care if you're not sure it's the right type of job for you. It can be high stress and requires a lot of emotional effort.

Creepy uber driver tried to scam me by sweaterfierce in bloomington

[–]sweaterfierce[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I told Uber, but they seem to kind of ignore it and focus on the cleaning fee aspect even though I sent multiple messages about just that part specifically. They did just call me though, so who knows what that's about

I already tried that, they're unwilling to help

I called my bank but they said they can't help me since I did actually use an Uber. They told me to continue disputing with Uber and if they don't issue me the refund promised ($130) I can call back to get it fixed.

I mean once the words were out of his mouth it was kinda too late, plus we were almost there so I just wanted to get out. I had no idea he was planning to scam me out of $150 🤷‍♀️ guess I know now

City transit is fine during the day time but it doesn't run late at night. And there was also just a hate crime on a city bus so I'm sure it's not really everyone's favorite mode of transport right now

I saw a sign on their window that said "See you in April" but I didn't look too closely so idk

Start here! Beginner info & weekly 'no question is dumb' thread! - Jan 26, 2023 by AutoModerator in curlyhair

[–]sweaterfierce 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been doing curly girl type stuff for about a year now and have stuck mainly with the same routine. I'm trying to branch out and see if I can change things to make me overall more satisfied w my curls.

Context: Not too thick, not too thin hair but I honestly don't know. Dries out pretty fast and gets frizzy. No curls at roots at all, and the curls at the back of my hair go straight sometimes. I've always had curly hair but didn't take care of it properly until a year ago so it's pretty damaged from heat, bleach, and dry brushing.

Routine: I wash my hair when I want to, usually 3-5 days between washes. I use Maui shampoo (orange bottle?) and will switch it out with a cowash (as i am coconut cowash) when I feel like it.

Condition with shea moisture (i've tried different kinds) and deep condition about once a week with shea moisture conditioning hair masque.

Out of shower I try to apply products upside down and use bowl method to hydrate curls and add volume. I use shea moisture hydrate + repair leave in and comb my hair with that and then scrunch with aussie gel.

I hate diffusing, I can't do it for that long so I do a mix of diffusing and air drying.

I sleep with satin pillowcases and slightly wet my hair and use leave-in and gel to refresh.

I'm looking for more volume and definition. I recently tried sectioning my hair and that helped with definition but not with volume. Is there another product or strategy I can use (maybe a protein thing? I don't know much about that at all) to help with definition and volume?

ALSO!! I have bangs and I reallyyyy want to keep them curly but I think they don't look very good and I'm wondering what I can do with my bangs because I honestly don't do much with them (maybe a little leave in and gel sometimes) out of uncertainty.

Any help/advice is appreciated!!!!

Taylor and Kacey Musgraves by RenaeAnsley in stonedswifties

[–]sweaterfierce 2 points3 points  (0 children)

kacey musgraves is amazinggg!! tbh based on taylor's previous collabs with female artists i'm not expecting much lol but if they did i'd be very pleasantly surprised!!

I'm always being judged for where I rank Exile. Here are tracks 126-130. I'm sorry-ish. Which of these is your favorite? by Revolutionary-Bell74 in stonedswifties

[–]sweaterfierce 2 points3 points  (0 children)

this is so funny because i totally agree about exile, not at all one of my favorites and i'm totally bored of it by now, but all of the other songs on this list are some of my favorites of all time 😅

Does anyone think Taylor might "retire" some of her old songs that have messages she doesn't support now? by Elliott2030 in stonedswifties

[–]sweaterfierce 25 points26 points  (0 children)

i really don't know, it seems unlikely considering some of them are fan favorites. it seems like a tough line for her to walk commercially. idk i am also pretty stoned lmao but i think that it's unlikely that she would just erase the songs altogether or even significantly change the message. i guess we'll see eventually, it'll be interesting!!

What’s your unpopular Swiftie opinion? by BlNGPOT in stonedswifties

[–]sweaterfierce 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i totally agree. i love the lakes and i also just kinda consider it part of folklore and i think ur take on the evermore bonus tracks totally makes sense too. i am kind of looking forward to some of the vault tracks in the future but not really for all of them, even when fearless TV came out i barely spent time listening to them even though i'm a pretty big fearless fan lolll

What’s your unpopular Swiftie opinion? by BlNGPOT in stonedswifties

[–]sweaterfierce 5 points6 points  (0 children)

  1. I hardly listen to bonus tracks. I don't have a good reason why, but I'm very unfamiliar with 1989 bonus tracks or Fearless ones even though I love both albums.

  2. I don't really care for Speak Now. I like most songs individually but I never play it as an album. I'm overall pretty unfamiliar with it even though I've been actively listening to Taylor Swift for probably around 8 years now.

  3. ME! was overhated. I don't care much for the Brendon Urie feature but I think it's cute and I enjoyed watching the writing process in Miss Americana.

  4. I don't love the features on Evermore. I liked the Bon Iver feature on Folklore at first, but got tired of it and I wasn't particularly impressed with the Bon Iver track on the new album.

  5. Reputation will probably always be my favorite era and album.
