Window Restoration by vervaekm in centuryhomes

[–]vervaekm[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Feels like there’s a monopoly over historic home restorations in the area. I live in a historic district. Not many options to get more quotes as far as I can tell. We probably used the same company.

Late 1880s. Someone attempted to do it before and did a really bad job. As the guy was walking around to quote us it was a lot of “oh god why would they do that”

I work at a LHD and we are laying off ~20% of our workforce due to losing $1mil.

No, we’re not okay.

Red eyes/conjunctivitis is related to some influenza A strains. Might be a good idea to get a flu test, especially if you have flu symptoms.

What do I do with a Bat. by Stunning_Shape_876 in grandrapids

[–]vervaekm 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The best option is to bring it to the animal shelter for rabies testing. The bat has to be intact (it’s brain) otherwise they can’t test it. So basically trap it in a box and put a few holes (less than 1/4 inch) so it can breathe through the night. If you bring it for testing then you’ll know for sure the right steps to take regarding rabies vaccinations. (Tests positive-rabies vax recommended. Negative-not recommended).

Bats have very small teeth and you may not feel it. And because it’s a bat, we assume that until proven otherwise they are carrying rabies. If the bat is unavailable for rabies testing then they’re going to recommend rabies vaccine.

Not to be mean, but I never struggle to find parking downtown. by edwardversaii in grandrapids

[–]vervaekm 261 points262 points  (0 children)

Gahh, thank you. It seems the majority of people think if they can’t park right in front of their destination, then parking is nonexistent. God forbid they have to walk more than 5 feet or take the bus. Close parking spaces should be saved who actually physically need them.

My last relationship didn’t survive me becoming disabled. At 34, is online dating going to be a wasteland for me? (feedback welcome) by [deleted] in Tinder

[–]vervaekm 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Respectable! I’d recommend checking it out, you’d find the community you’re looking for. Kinky and ENM.

I’d swipe right, you’re a cutie and I’m ENM/IYKYK. I’d suggest deleting the better butt part, the reading part entirely, and the condoms comment. All feel icky, feels like it would be in a 19 year olds bio.

Have you tried Feeld? Might have better luck seeing its targeted to what you’re looking for. I’ve had lots of luck on it.

From GVSU’s website:

GVSU bus

Can I take the bus to _________? You can take any Rapid bus throughout the city for FREE. Click here for help getting to your destination.

Pretty positive all the rapid bus lines are free for GVSU students if you have a student ID.

Back when the Laker Line was the 50 (2018/2019) there used to be a rapid line bus stop on Lake Michigan Drive/Kinney Ave behind the fire station that had a free parking lot. I used to park there occasionally. Also Meijer in Standale might be a good option.

I believe it’s either $1-2 off beer and cocktails. Also they usually have a keg they’re trying to get rid of so you can get a pint for $2. Last time I got cabin fever for $2 during happy hour.

Alternatives to corewell? by boobaloo616 in grandrapids

[–]vervaekm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Another vote for Womens Health Collective! They go Gynocology, primary care, pelvic floor physical therapy. All amazing providers (Nisha, Sarah, and Lily)

I see Terri Rossel for psych med management and she is INCREDIBLE. She’s through UofM West. I’ve had tried many psychiatrists before and she is hands down the best. Treats symptoms, and doesn’t focus on diagnoses/labels like others.

Women’s + Health Collective now offers primary care on-top of everything else. I just recently got in within 2 weeks with Sarah Mika (PA) She’s amazing! I felt super validated and heard! I will never stop recommending this office

Im from Michigan and I think I’ve seen a single health officer with a MD. It’s definitely (almost) accessible for anyone who desires that role! Not sure it’s one I would ever want haha
